College: Round three

My first two weeks back in Rexburg have been GREAT! I'm the first counselor in the Secret Society (or the Relief Society, as it is more commonly known) and I have awesome roommates. My classes are interesting, but I am VERY VERY busy with writing papers and service projects and interviews and observing and preparing to student teach preschoolers and field trips and blah blah blah...but I'm having fun.

I'm taking another dance class this semester and I LOVE it! :) It's called ballroom technique 1 and it's my first silver level class. We're doing 3 dances this semester-- the rhumba, the cha cha, and the viennese waltz. We're starting out with the cha cha, witch I love, so I'm happy. I've never danced the other two styles but I can't wait to learn! One weird thing about this class is that it's the first dance class I've taken where I have to learn both the boy's and girl's part, which is still a little confusing (especially when I'm dancing the boy's part and a boy is dancing the girl's part!) but I'm getting the hang of it. It requires a lot of practice outside of class and (luckily) one of the 8 guys from my class (of 30 people total) asked me to be his practice partner. His name is Anthony (get those ideas out of your head. we're just dance partners) and he is teaching me to lead better. The other night as we were practicing in our classroom, a night dance class came in (it was a social dance class. very VERY basic) and before their class started they were watching us and kept telling us how good we were (really, we're not THAT good) and asking us to do certain moves over and over again and it was just really fun to be admired like that:)

It's a long weekend so I'm REALLY procrastinating my homework. Which is why I'm blogging right now. I'll get around to it though:)

I'm just happy to be back in the Burg, even though it's cold and slippery everywhere :P I've made it my goal to be more social this semester than I was last year and so far that's going really well! I've made a lot of new friends and keep making more every day.
That's the end
For now, at least
