So, I haven't posted in a while...

Things are going well. Last week I lost a "set" of tennis (we were playing best 4/7) to Alison 3-4, which is a considerable improvement from my 1-4 game a couple of weeks ago. I'll get the hang of this yet. In other good news, I got an A on my first O-chem test, and am thus far getting an A in lab... sweet! My pool game, unfortunately, is not so hot; on Friday Eric and I got skunked 3-0 by Angie and Anthony, and then Eric beat me 2-1 after that. My one win was due to the fact that he scratched on the 8-ball, so it wasn't even a true win. Egad.

As for this weekend, Anika and I spent the entire thing dancing. A couple of swing teachers were in from out of town, so we took four hours of lindy hop on Saturday, followed by partner charleston and a musicality class (which was pretty much everyone goofing off and getting down to the music). Eric joined us for a couple of the lindy classes, plus the Charleston and the musicality, and Angie came for a lindy class. That night we went out to Kats Korner as usual, and Anthony, Angie, Eric, and Jason came too. A girl who I know from ceramics showed up, and it turns out she knows Jason; the whole mood was very festive. It was particularly so since the dance troupe that came with the teachers from out of town performed, and they had the intermediate dance contest. Anthony taught me back charleston and the basket drop, and I got to practice some lindy footwork with Eric.... It was all so much fun! yayayayayayayayay! After Kats Korner we went over to Anthony's to watch "Hitch," but the next morning, it was right back to...

Swing! That's right, four more hours of dancing on Sunday, with two of them being balboa, an evolution of lindy class (so how charleston turned into lindy), and of course, an absolute favorite, shag.

Now it's Monday, though, and I have to do all the O-Chem I didn't do over the weekend. Blech. (but momma, i don' WANNA learn about chirality!) What I really want to do of course is eat some lunch and take a nap. Nuts.
