Last week turned out to be a pretty exciting week for me. I not only had mounds of homework...that I still have and am trying to wrap up real quick like to finish this week from hell. But Some really cool things happened. Lets start with this:
I took a modern dance class this past semester. Why? you ask.....Why? Well I being the moron that I am thought Oh! I can totally do this...I mean I haven't had any professional dance training since the age of 6 but I like to move it move it! Horrible Idea....never have i been so uncomfortable in my entire life. Every. Single. Class. Seriously...for those of you have have known me a while...you know that Gracefulness and I have been long time enemies. Especially in those should be happy moments in life...when she rears her ugly head and I am once again humbled to a crumpled mess on the floor. Thanks mom for passing that one down....seriously you skipped giving me nice ankles and were generous in the Klutz department...AWESOME. So I tak this class because one of my best friends is the teacher, what a doll by the way, and time after time I look like a fool and have no idea what I am doing. Ha ha its actually pretty funny when I think about how bad I was... I mean really the mirror thing on the walls....was not to my advantage. Final assignment in this class rolls around and what is it you ask? Oh...choreograph your own dance to perform for the ENTIRE class solo. Solo....as in alone? As in me vs. the class of dancers with teeny bodies and judgmental glares?!?
needless to say, I about had a panic attack. I begged my friend/teach if I could just perform it for her outside of class....denied! Her compromise was to have a partner. So who do I pick? Oh the smallest cutest girl slash best ID buddy, Manda. Did I mention mand is Gymnasty? As in been in Gymnastics her whole life and taken dance classes. Great idea right? Well I copped out and made my sister make up a dance for me...she rocks by the way...GO MOLLY! And We practiced and practiced and practiced. Well last Thursday we performed. I have never had so much anxiety about a minute and a half of my life....in my life. My palms were sweaty like when you have to link arms with those boys at EFY and they are sweaty and cold because they are so nervous even though...its a million degrees outside....SWEET! We did it though...we performed to an AFI song. Ha ha it was one of the weirdest things I have ever done.....and will never do again! My biggest excitement.....its over! I survived! I DANCED in front of people.....no DANCERS....and I did not fall...or mess up. I may have even looked somewhat put together. I hate when people say that being out of your comfort zone is a good thing. No that is a total lie. Its horrible...but i must say the view from the other side is pretty sweet! And I am NEVER doing that again!
Other big news...I was elected President Elect for ASID. Which is the American Society of Interior Designers. We have a chapter here at USU and I ran and am now president Elect. Which means that next year I am vice president, and the year after I will be the President! Its a two year obligation and I am really excited about it! It will be a great opportunity for networking, as well as look great on a resume. It will definitely be a lot of work, but I know it will be worth it.
I also met with my counselors last week and am right on track for graduation...with 2 degrees! Thats right I said it....2! Lots of people go to school for 7 years....they are not called doctors...they are called me! Yes I know I could have had a doctorate by now...but hey I will settle for two bachelors instead. Its not so bad. Interior Design and Art History....my two loves outside of husband and shoes. Done and Done.
Last but not least...I was sitting in my professional seminar class and guess who got a scholarship!?! Oh well if you guessed me..You would be right! I applied and was awarded one...in front of my entire major...which was a little frightening to say the least. They applauded all us winners...it was like winning an Oscar I am sure of it.
In actuality all of this happened on Wednesday. Except the dance this was on Thursday. So a 24 hour period. Probably one of the best wed/Thursdays of my life....except when I got married...that was a Thursday too.
So when life sucks a lot...like this week from hell....I can recall the bliss of last week, and next week will be even better....because next week I get to eat carbs again and eat them southern style!
Happiness from me to you!
