HHOOOOHH my goodness! Yesterday was my first tap dancing lesson since college. SOOO MUCH FUN!
Tap dancing makes me feel like my heart and soul are soaring. I know that I dance nothing like the greats of the past like Sammy Davis Jr., Gene Kelly or Donald O'Connor, but I certainly have just as much fun. Yesterday at my lesson I was all giddy and giggly and silly. Whenever I messed up I would just start to laugh. I know that sooner or later (probably sooner rather than later) I will have a practice day that is absolutely and utterly frustrating and overwhelming, but yesterday was SO great! We started learning the shim sham...OOOOW!
I'm extremely excited to continue my lessons and have decided that I'm committed to taking lessons for the next year. Usually with dancing I do a class for one quarter and then decide that it's too expensive and stop. After a couple of years I can't contain myself anymore and break down to buy another quarter of classes. Now I've decided that I love it so much that I need to make the sacrifices necessary to allow myself to do it for the next year.
WOOHOO!!!

Girls weekend
Oh my wonderful girls, I just love all of you so much! There is much to be learned during a girls weekend, such as pateince flexibility and the ability to relax. I was so relaxed this last weekend, I can't remember th last time I felt that way...it was great, but also very eye opening because I just SLEPT FOREEEEEVER!
I'm kind of overwhelmed with how much I appreciate the girls in my life. I wish I could have a little town where all of my friends would be able to fulfil their life dreams...then I could live in the same place as everyone and stop by for casual afternoon tea. I'm so over this big world where it takes me 45 minutes to 8 hours (+) to see my best friends. Although I appreciate what Facebook has done to make the world smaller...it just isn't enough! I want all of the jobs and opportunities to be in one place...then I wouldn't ever have to say goodbye and 4 days wouldn't seem like such a short time because I would be used to having people around all of the time.
The night that I get back home from a visit with friends is always a bittter sweet time. I like having time to recharge and sleep, time to think and organize and be quiet. But I instantly miss the faces that I love. I miss the frustrations and arguments just as much as I miss the laughter and hugs. I just miss the real relationships with people.

Holding pattern
I haven't posted in almost a month! WTH man!?!?! There's not excuse and really no reason for it, I just haven't felt like typing something out I suppose. I'm going through a bit of a difficult time right now. I don't think that it's necessarily negative, just difficult.
After visiting Davis, CA for grad school interviews and meetings, I decided not to go there. This means that I won't be going to grad school at all next year, ugh! Going to grad school next year has been my plan for a really long time, and I'm having a hard time with the fact that my life is now up in the air. I don't know what I'm going to do and what my life is going to end up looking like.
I feel like I was on a spcific trojectory, and now the possibilities are endless. This is REALLY exciting, but equally scarey. I could end up as a researcher in the developing world, a nurse in the US, a bed and breakfast owner or a stay at home mom. WHAT WILL IT BE!?!? I don't know, which worries me. I would like things to be figured out soon, but these are things that I can't actually figure out, they just have to happen and fall into place.
SO for now I'm in a holding pattern. I will keep moving forward and will not push doors open that don't want to be opened...well...that's the goal at least.
