I just realized that I didn’t write anything yesterday. That is sort of weird, since writing in this journal is fairly ingrained into the course of my day.
It’s cold and dark and rainy outside, but I’m feeling better because I’ve had a bit of sleep. And I had fun last night. Once a month the dance department puts on this thing called Jammix, where they just play all kinds of music and everyone dances. Now, I love to dance…however, I have not really had many lessons, and though I know the basic steps, I feel somewhat awkward when I try to put them to use. So I was unsure about going, but after prodding from Nick and Susan and my inner conscience (“come on Sarah, it will be good for you…”), I went.
And it was really fun! It was so different than the dances we went to in Houston, where most people were snobby and wouldn’t dance with you unless you knew exactly what you were doing and could do all the fancy moves. Last night, random people were asking me to dance, and they didn’t care that iI didn’t know all the steps. This funny Italian guy named Eduardo even tried to teach me to polka and couldn’t believe that I had never done it before. At least I think I am a quick learner.
So I think I am going to join the social dance class, where we learn swing (which I already know), waltz, and tango. Susan is in the class, so that will be nice too.
So I am feeling more sane. I am thinking about going over to the other side of the bay to Ikea this afternoon…I have needed some sort of shelf to go between my desk and dresser since school began, and I have been sort of looking for an excuse to go to Ikea…so maybe this is it.
And I talked to Chris for a while this afternoon about things, and I have a few decisions to make this week.
