Fun, Fun, Fun!!

Yay! This week did go by faster than the last one! Only 14 weeks to go :-).
Monday I met my new FHE group, which wasn't to bad. We played duck duck goose with names so we could learn them, then signs. I was only in the middle for short periods of time, so it was fun.
Tuesday and Wednesday were both bitterly cold. In dance class we are moving through the cha cha quick as lightning. In one week we learned 3 of the most complicated steps I've ever attempted - grape vine surprise, ronde swivel step, and back spot turn. I actually had to go home and practice them on my own till I got them down.
In our writing class we've been reading several interesting short stories; "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner was particularly fascinating and gruesome all at once. I've gotten most of the 2nd draft of my critical analysis done, and that's good because I have to post it online tomorrow morning. I'm doing it on the symbolism of color in Joel Schumacher's production of Phantom of the Opera... really quite interesting and enjoyable to write about.
Friday I met with two girls from my German 330 class who had just added the class. I explained the assignments and told them if they had any questions to contact me. After my first voice lesson of the semester and some homework it was time for a break; Cami, Merit and I watched a movie, which was fun.
Saturday I worked on my critical analysis and took a much needed trip to Walmart to stock up on some food, soap, notebooks etc. That evening I went on my first second date with Jonathan Northrup, the really short RM who took me to a musical last semester. I was going to turn him down, but couldn't think up an excuse fast enough (drat!). I guess I had fun anyway... we went bowling and I'm horrible at it. The most common scores for the others were strikes and spares, while I had a good number of gutter balls. I always twist the ball to much before I release it, so that dooms everything. When I got home Natalie had switched our beds around so they are now in an "L" shape, much more conducive to large audiences when we're trying to watch a movie. She had invited 6 or 7 girls over, and we had a girls night. Chocolate fondue, popcorn, hot chocolate, a good chickflick - what more could you want on a Saturday night??
Yep, that's life right now. Hope you are doing well and hope to hear from you soon!!!!
Love,
