Takin' it Easy.... sort of!

So, I haven't updated my blog recently, mostly because there are not too many exciting things going on. Well, I guess that could be an understatement. Mostly there are not a lot of things going on that I take pictures of. Since I got home from Washington DC, my days mostly consist of working out in the yard, doing homework, studying for the LSAT, and dancing.

I am trying to finish my last few classes at BYU so I can officially graduate. I am doing all my remaining classes through Independent Study, which is nice because I can go at my own pace and I don't have to go to campus unless I really want to. However, it is taking me longer than I expected to finish my classes. I have one completely finished, I'm about 1/3 of the way done with another, and then I will have 3 more. I am also taking an LSAT preparation class. Yes, I am thinking about going to Law School. Although when I really think about having 3 more years of school to go through, part of me wants to vomit, but another part of me thinks it would be a very rewarding challenge. We'll see how things go.

One of my other goals this summer was to learn how to dance better. I absolutely LOVE dancing! I started doing country swing dancing when I was about 16 years old. Between the ages of 19-21 I took some dance classes at UVSC and went dancing frequently on the weekends. Over the last couple of years I have dabbled in it a bit more, but now I want to get more serious. My favorite dance so far is West Coast Swing and I go at least once a week, if its a good week I can go three times on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. There are some really good dance clubs around here that teach great lessons and I feel like I am improving, though I am not nearly as good as I want to be. I also started going to the BYU Swing Kids Club, which is also really fun, but they do more Lindy-Hop, which is actually becoming a very close second in my preference to West Coast Swing. I will be attending a dance competition/workshop weekend in Denver this month which I hope will help me improve my skills, and it will be fun to watch the pros dance in person.

Thats about it for now. Sorry I don't have photos. I'll work on that for next time!
