It's the simple things in life
I've become hyper-stressed because of the number of midterms and projects that I have to due in the next week. A 402 project looms, which means this whole weekend is dead, which is really sad. I may be able to escape Friday night, but we'll see.
We such learn the second half of our swing routine this Friday in Ballroom dance. Without this class, I don't know how I'd survive the rest of school. Each dance we do I love more than the last. Swing is, by far, my favorite routine hands down. I've got the music stuck in my head, and I've had crazy urges to break out in dance in the silliest places. I just wish I were better at it. Joe managed to straighten me out on some of the basic steps, and I feel that I've improved a lot because of that
The goal: get good enough to go out dancing...lofty, I know, but I've been putting a lot of effort in...most of my partners seem to notice, too...but that may be because of the total lack of effort many of the other guys are putting in. I remember when we were doing the waltz, one of my partners whispered to me "wow, it's so great to dance with someone who seems to know what he's doing...my last partner was so bad I had to lead the entire time..," which made me feel accomplished.
I just wish I had someone to practice with during my precious little free time during the week. :/
In other, bad news...the Analysis midterm was...well straight devastating. I didn't have too much time to study, and I was too burnt out to actually study as much as I should have...which is like a death wish for a Lanski test--especially lin higher level math. I remember studying hard for a midterm and getting 40%...and that being the average back in Abstract Algebra. But I'm really having trouble caring that I may have failed it...I just want to be done...
9 weeks to go...God give me strength!!
