Learning to Lead

Ahh! The end of our first week back. It brings such relief and yet, so much panic! I love being back in school(sorry, sorta, kinda a nerd, I know) I love my classes,  and I love seeing everyone again. But it also brings to sharp reality just how much work we have to do! Why does school have to have those nasty little things like essays, research papers, assignments and exams?? It just takes all of the fun away from things.

Brittany and I had free movie passes to use before September 31 so we treated ourselves out to a movie tonight. The movie was mediocre. However, on the bus ride home I came to the realization that I am quickly coming up on my 3 month anniversary of being in New Zealand, which meant I have just over a month and a half left here.
  1 1/2 months=6 weeks!

Wait, what?!? Hold on, there is no way time has gone that quickly! I swear I just landed in Auckland! I refuse to believe I have that short of time left in paradise!

On a side note. Have I mentioned how much I love my flat mates? Among many of the reasons why, we have spent many a nights practicing our dance moves, or trying to learn how to lead instead of follow-something we all seem to fail at. It just makes me realize how I am so glad I'm a girl, and therefore a follower, and don't have to think about how do do these crazy moves. I just smile and twirl!

I never thought I would dance here. I love going out swing dancing at St. Kate's, but I wasn't able to go enough to become more passionate about it. Now I've done the Modern Jive, Merengue, Salsa, Rueda, and am currently learning the Cha Cha, (all with varied success of course.) I love it, my only concern is being able to continue with all of it when I get back. Might just have to start a Rueda circle.
