Samba!

An extremely busy, but very fun and rewarding day, I dare say.

The workload is picking up momentum, and pages and pages of reading are being assigned to me more and more by the day. So far I'm holding up, and I dearly hope that it stays that way.

On to the exciting stuff...

Two big events happened today for me on campus. First was my audition for Spontaneous Combustion, Rice's improv comedy troupe. We played a variety of different games to show off our skills and abilities to create something from nothing, and now it's just a matter of waiting. I don't know whether I'll get it or not, there were many very funny people auditioning. I just figure that if it's meant to be, it'll happen.

The other big thing was my debut as a Latin Fusion dance instructor. I arrived at the room about fifteen minutes early, to find that nobody had arrived yet. I hung out in the room for a little while, waiting, then I went to look for a schedule to make sure I was in the right place at the right time. However, within the last five minutes, a total of no less than fifteen people walked through the door for the class. It was a smash! People were getting into it, freestyling, making it their own, getting a great workout, and, above all, having a good time. Several people came up to me afterwards and told me that they really enjoyed it, and I knew that this is definitely something that is meant for me.

Only one class for me tomorrow, plus the reading that I've got to finish, then we're into the weekend again.

My, my, my...time really does fly when you're having fun - or when you're cramming massive amounts of new knowledge into your head.
