This is what I do when I am feeling sad over many things.

It seems to help.

And this too.

This is really cool.

Funner should be a word.

Winter Ball was a BLAST. Contrary to what I thought it would be (and popular belief) and had SO MUCH fun, and it was just what I needed to destress before the insanity of studying for finals. I am officially a swing dancing machine and taught at least 4 other people how to swing dance.

Sweaty-tooth Madmen had our first show Wednesday night and I thought it went pretty well and I have gotten noting but really good compliments. Unfortunately we did not tape this one (sorry mom and dad) but it was probably for the best as it is improv and things happen. I have a lot to do and I am excited to go home but I am beginning to feel better.

P.S.
I had 2 dates to the winter ball. That's what the Gordon ratio (2:1) does to you.

Oh, emo christmas music, look what you do to me.

The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby please come home

The church bells in town
They're ringing a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home

They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
All the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home
Baby please come home

They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like christmas at all
I remember when you were here
All the fun we had last year

If there was a way
I'd hold back these tears
But it's Christmas day
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home

Not really a great post but I felt like I needed to do something.

I had the pleasure of eating dinner with Lauren F. Winner (and 15 other students) about her new book. If you have too much time on your hand or need a good idea of something to read. Her book Girl Meets God is excellent (it is an autobiography) even though the title did not really intrigue me. (I had to read it for CCC and it turned out really well.) Her new book Real Sex: The naked truth about chastity has some really good insights, and is entertaining. A little bit educational (if you're into that kind of thing.)
