Folk Dance

These are a few videos of some of the dances we have been doing in folk dance. I have a tendency to forget the names of the dances though... But the dance is still tons of fun!

I'm the second person in the line on this dance.



Third from the end on this one...



I actually remember the name for this dance... Hambo. It's lots of fun. It's somewhat similar to Vianese Waltz, but still different. I've spared you the whole song (I swear, it's half an hour long), but this should be enough to get the point...



And last, but not least, this is our Russian dance. I don't know what the name for it actually is, we just call it our Russian dance. This is the one that we are going to do for the Spring Festival of Nations on April 1. We just finished choreographing it today, and it's a work out! Hopefully someone will get a video of it when we are in our costumes so I can post the whole thing then. But until then, this will have to suffice. :-)

Waiting

Well, I'm going on a date in a little bit and I've all but run out of things to do till it's time to leave to pick my date up. Then I realized that it's been nearly a month since I last posted here on my blog. Anyway, I've been working on a research paper these past few weeks for my English class. We had our proposal for our paper due today, and like normal, I ended up procrastinating actually writing the thing out for a while. So instead of staying up really late like normal, I went to bed at like 9:30 last night (that's unheard of for me, just FYI). And then I woke up at 2:30 to compile my proposal. I got it done and I was a little worried that it wasn't going to be quite up to par for where it needed to be. But I went and talked to my teacher just after 8:00 and as she looked at it, she said it looked really good and that she was really excited to see what my paper turns out to be. I was excited that she gave me such positive feedback. Anyway, I had a test this afternoon as well that I spent some time studying for until I decided that another few min wasn't going to make a lick of difference. So I went and took the test and it took me nearly 2 hours, most of it was spent writing short answer and essay questions... Needless to say, my hand was rather tired after that.

So besides all of that wonderful stuff, as I was doing some stuff on the internet after my test, I had a though... I am taking classes this summer, why not check to see if I can get into the gymnastic class? So I looked, and there was 1 open spot left! So I snatched it up as quick as I could! I'm way excited! I finally have the opportunity that I have wanted for years! I have it Monday-Thursday at 9:00am. So I have something to get me up every day, but it's not an 8:00 class. Life is good... :-)

Ok, well, that didn't take as long as I had hoped. I still have a few min before I need to leave. Don't you just love/hate that nervous/anxious feeling before a date? I really have missed going on dates until I got back here to BYU. Anyway, I'm out of things to ramble about. Later!
