So...sometimes life throws you lemons. And sometimes they come in the shape and size of your boyfriend. (OK this is a joke people! Kind of... :P) I was all hyped about tomorrow because there's a swing dance in Santa Cruz with all the old folks from when I was just learning. Great! So with that in mind I gather a group of new folks and friends and coerce them into going. Now originally my boyfriend wasn't going to come down this weekend, but now he is. And his train gets into San Jose at 8:55pm. It takes 45mins to get from SC to SJ one way and the dance goes from 8-10pm. So that leaves me SOL. What a bummer...oh well. That's life, and not to be totally crass, I DO get to see Steven that's a good thing...right? (kidding, kidding)
Beyond that right now I'm just trying to figure out where I'll be over the summer. Sacramento or Santa Cruz? Summer school, or work? I just don't know!! And what kills me more is it isn't even up to me! At least not entirely. I have technically three options.
Option 1 - take summer school in SC and forget about most of the summer, but graduate upon return from Turkey. Also tack a year of service onto my time in the military.
Option 2 - make up drill and work in Sacramento, causing my graduation to be delayed a quarter but getting rid of a year of service with the military, while joining the dance team and perhaps having a better time.
Option 3 - stay and work in Sacramento regardless of drill or not and make more money for Turkey, but yet again have to make up a quarter upon return and still have the extra year of service to tack onto the military requirement.
Choices, choices, choices...
You know, when I was teaching swing last night one of my students (that sounds so weird) asked if they could clone me so they could dance with me. I didn't like the idea, but now I think its growing on me....
