Well, I'm back to school and boy am I in for a whirlwind of a term. My schedule is nice since I don't have to drive to town everyday, only Mon/Wed/Fri. Which is nice. I'm taking the Yogilates class again, which is Mon/Wed @ 8:30 a.m. I really like this class it is an awesome workout! I still can't put weight on my elbow (since the Heely insident :). But I'm gonna work it out, so don't worry!
Now here's the big news . . . . . I'M A DANCER!! Yeah!! I'm in my 1st dance class ever! Hip Hop 101, perfect! So on the 1st day the teacher asks, "Is this anyone's 1st dance class?". So of course me and my friend Hannah raise our hands enthusiastically! There were me, Hannah and 1 other girl raising our hands. "Awesome." I thought. "We're going to look like idiots." So the teacher got up and started the warm-up and it was like everyone had done this 1000 times, while me and Hannah are laughing so hard at ourselves we can hardly breath. I pretty sure no one ever said the life of a dancer was easy, so I'm in for the trip!
So, if that wouldn't have been enough for 1 day I'm also continuing my quest for "bilingualism" :) Je etudie francais tes les jours! I really want to speak French now! Learning a language has been the hardest thing I have ever tried to learn. I took FR101 and got an A- and I've also taken private lessons for a few months so I thought I could kind of expediate my learning curve by signing up for FR151. What I didn't realize was how far ahead of me they would be. I ended in chapitre 5 and they are starting on chapitre 8. Yeah. Needless to say I felt a little overwelmed on my hour drive home. No need to worry though, I am going to kick French's butt! I'm determined to master this overly complicated language, similar to English, so that I can travel to France in 2009 and be standing in le Louvre being my own French tour guide on my 28th birthday. I've already started saving. C'est un magnifique! My whole fridge is postit noted with all the food names. I'm going to teach myself the 2 chaptires I missed by next Wednesday (Mecredi).
Well just thought I'd keep you posted and typing in English makes me feel so successful after trying to right in French! :) Love you all!
P.S. I'm going to a super hot reggae show tonight my friend in producing, Luciano. You should take a listen it's really nice. You can find him on myspace.

Hmm.. the fact that you are taking dancing lessons ALMOST makes me want to go out and see you hit the town... ALMOST! :0) Maybe someday I will revert to the 24 year old that I am and leave my old lady kick behind me! Maybe not! I love it that I act so old and you act so young, I think somehow I got your "oldness" and you got my "youngness" :0)I see the world totally differently when looking at it through your perspective and I love it. So happy you started a blog. BTW: Linc and I might be calling you cell for the ringback again... I am sick and we could use some cheep entertainment around here!
Love you
P.S. let me know if you ever take math, chem or biology... then we can compare notes!Ha!I know nothing about french, dance, and very little about yogalates although Linc loves baby yoga!
Yogalates - sounds fun! We have a new lady here at work that does Hot Yoga. She really loves it. Dancing sounds like a great class for you to take - I think you will be a natural!! Speaking French and pretending not to be American seems to be the way to go in France. My boss went last year and they didn't get treated very well when someone knew they were from the US - but got treated great when they thought they were from England!! Love ya - ;0)
Hey kiddo - how's school going??
