My Folk and Square Dance class is getting increasingly more awesome. My leg hurt after the first day but it was fine by the second. We learned the Hukilau and a couple line dances.

Dancing is my kind of exercise.


I have decided that I really don't want children for a while. I'm even okay with not getting married for a while.


I am beginning to freak out about graduating in a year because it turns out, I will graduate on time.


I drank a bit on Saturday. It was fun. I am so excited for my birthday. Seriously. It'll be keen.


I have to think up a topic for a paper for my EU class. I want to do it on Hungary but they were talking about not doubling up and choosing countries out of a hat... I just want to write it on Hungary.

I am taking a Folk and Square Dance course that is designed for Health and Physical EDUCATION majors. Ashley and I are the only non-athletic people in that class.

Instead of an exam, we have to draw up a lesson plan and teach a dance move that should take about twenty minutes. I was thinking about teaching the hobo dance and making something up or doing the jitterbug or belly dancing but I decided not to.

Instead, I am going to teach the Charleston. I don't know how to do it but I've always wanted to learn. I figure that if I have to teach people, I'll learn it far better than I ever would on my own.


In other news, I am thinking of not working this semester. I have a lot of classes and a lot of work to do. We shall see. I might just cut down to nine hours of work.

I love you all.

This semester is going to suck.

I had two classes today and I have four tomorrow. My final class tomorrow is what I politely refer to as a semester-long quad. It's a semester-long course that starts at 6:30 and ends at 9:30. Woo.

On the bright side, my French class that I had today is canceled for the rest of this week and the Monday of next week. Also, tomorrow is the first day of my Folk and Square Dance class. Hopefully it will be just fun and not just work.

Here's to an awesome semester!

Also, all of you need to come home on the weekend of January 25 so we can celebrate my big two-one. I am contemplating partying Monday night too and just skipping my 9:25 class. We shall see.

I love you all. I hope everyone is doing well.

So, Ben's journal got deleted.

This means we must restart THE COMMENT POST OF DOOM.

Anyone up for it?

Proof that the world falls apart when I leave the country:
Britney shaved her head while we were in Amsterdam.
There was a school shooting while we were in France.
Kurt Vonnegut died.
Anna Nicole Smith died.
Britney hit a car with an umbrella while we were in London.
My dad went into the hospital.
My cat began to fall over regularly.

I got my grades!

The one class I was concerned about (because I had missed a large number of classes (due to illness and the fact that it was at 8) and you can only miss four before your grade drops (the prof took attendance EVERY DAY)) turned out great. It didn't drop at all and I know I missed more than four. I'm not complaining about that.

Also, there was another class I was slightly concerned about that my straight-As-friend got a C- in. But even that turned out fine.

So, my lame ass gen ed semester was okay. Next semester is pretty much the same so...excitement. Not.

And that's it.

Rumor has it my mom and I are going to bake cookies and wrap presents and go shopping today. I haven't heard from her yet so I'm going to go call her in a bit. I love shopping and cookies so I want to go as soon as we can.

Christmas stories
My mom would always tell us stories about how forgetful my grandmother would be sometimes. She'd give us the same gifts two years in a row or think she gave us a present that we never got.

One Christmas, she asked my uncle how he liked his new watch. His only response was "what watch?" She forgot to give it to him and found it in the upstairs closet.


Last year, my mom got my brother a cheese cutting board. He likes cheese and kitchen things. A few days after Christmas, we got a big chunk of cheese and Mom suggested Buddy use his new cheese board to cut it. He sort of just gave me and Mom blank looks and said "I didn't get anything like that."

Mom and I exchanged looks and I laughed at her, bringing up the story she always told about my grandma. We searched everywhere for that darn cheese board. I was there when she bought it, it was heavy enough that I remember putting it in the car.

She finally found it in her bedroom closet.

The best thing I've read in a long time. It gave me goosebumps.

This is what I want for Christmas. I can't decide which would be better, reading the book or listening to that wonderful radio voice reading it to me.

WHEN TALKING TO OR ABOUT KYLE IT MUST BE DONE IN ALL CAPS.

THIS IS NOW LAW.

I am done with my exams. The cat is awesome. The Baron is jealous.

If any peeps wanna hang, holla.

We are getting a new cat tomorrow. He gets fixed tomorrow and then I will be picking him up after work.

If he doesn't die. ha ha jk jk

His name is Nick (ha ha ha ha). This name will be changed (it is, ironically, Nick's turn to name the cat.)

I have talked to The Baron about this so he knows he's getting a younger brother and he needs to be nice to him.

These cats are like our children.

WARNING: CAT PRIVATE PARTS. I would censor it but we're all adults here.

I totally cannot remember the password to my icon journal. Bummer. Not that it really matters but I have heard outcries and grumbles.

In other news, we may get another cat today. More on this developing story coming up during Newz at 11 here on WRHG.

We're going to see The Golden Compass tonight. I'm very nervous about it and I don't know if I want to see it.

It's my favorite sci-fi book series and I just don't want it to be ruined.

Nick keeps saying that the book will stay the same but it won't. Now I'll forever see those actors when I read the books.

I am, however, excited for the second one. Real excited about how they portray both the knife and the seams in space/time.

End.
