We'll dance inside the song...
So tonight, I went to swing night with Lynne! I learned how to swing dance and do the hustle! Will probably try to get myself to open floor so I can get help with learning those dances better! Or I really want to get tango down. Or like every single dance we've learned so far.. Woot! And I danced with several boys during lessons, except only a few were really good. But the e-board is so like "switch partners" during lessons.. and then they didn't really care when it was just dancing. Which means my friend and I did not dance with any boys during actual dance. Woe. But oh well, still had fun dancing together and such.
Some of the boys I danced with during lesson did not know how to lead at all. And I'm so jealous of the boys sometimes because most of the times they just need to lead, but they don't have to do turns and such. In hustle though, it's pretty even. So that's okay. But why can't I dance with good dancers? Why do they not try to enforce switching more often? There are never enough boys so we do have to take turns. I think there was enough during lessons, and then they got bored and left? I don't know!
And oh god, one guy was like "it sucks being so tall sometimes, if I'm not careful, I might accidently hit you in the head when trying to grab your wrist"... Um, thanks for warning me? He didn't even know how to lead, so we just did basics while I had to dance with him. I really do want to learn, but just arg, boys, be the leader, damnit!
And in the end, people were tired, so we weren't really like doing formal dances, and just dancing around.
Oh oh, they played She Will Be Loved. I don't remember what ballroom dance you can do to that, but you can do one.. We were drinking lemonade while it was playing though, so I just sung along instead.
Music was pretty good, hanging out with Lynne was cool, and dancing is so much fun! Also, Lynne learned about my horrible memory. We were talking about plans for tomorrow, and then a few minutes later I was like "wait, did I ever ask you what your plans for tomorrow were? I don't remember.." (she had asked me) and then she told me again and I was like "oh.." Also, we learned the two dances (swing and hustle) pretty fast, and then I was like "I feel like my mind is on information overload..." It's pretty bad. I NEED A GOOD MEMORY to memorize the top 100 drugs plus side effects plus cannot interact with drugs.. for pharmacy. Eventually. We also practiced some tango and chacha. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.
Because I didn't go to dance class on Thursday, I missed learning salsa! Man, I'm sad! I want to learn and be awesome at it. And it made me miss profe Fousek and dancing in his class..
Also today, I went to the MFA on my own. I love the MFA a lot. There were 2 photography exhibits that I looked through, and then also American art from the 19th and 20th century. So awesome. Also, this father was explaining who Einstein was to his little daughter when the dad saw his portrait and I was like "aww". Why do I not have friends who like art and museums? I really like them, but I usually have to go alone or with my parents! And then I was tired and hung out in the museum store and read this cute little comic for awhile. It was by two Japanese ladies, but their company is named after 2 random men.. and they had somewhat connected comics about two bunnies, sprites (but not the faerie type, like.. it's some kind of wierd creature, but so cute!) and a fish, and bad guy and liar. I wanted to buy it, but I don't know how much re-readability it would have. Also looked around and tried to think of what I'm going to get people for Christmas! Maybe I'll buy some stuff from there.
It is so damn cold now. It's like 20s and 30s.. but wind makes it feel so much colder. At one point, the wind was blowing and I almost felt like I would have been blown away or something. I have to wear a lot of layers. Today I was wearing a tank top, long sleeve shirt, jacket, and a coat! But I was warm! And then wore gloves, scarf, boots and hat. Getting dressed takes so long! Oh well! I'll learn to be faster eventually. 8 AMs next semester will be hell-ish though.
Sometimes I feel lonely on weekends, since no one really invites me to do things. And I never know what I want to do, so I can't really invite people out. I don't knoww. And I'm just tired out and probably wouldn't be able to do something that was like woah active. Although I want to go ice skating!
Making plans with Jaye is difficult because we're both lazy people. Woe. That and both picky.. I don't know. We'll probably just wing out plans for Thanksgiving break.
2 more days of classes before break! The campus is going to be so damn empty. Also, my suite will be too. I don't think any of my suitemates will be around. Crazyy.
