I cried when I watched the second video.

It's something I want for the students I will someday teach.

This is an amazing cause that can change the world.

I can't wait to actually have money to donate!



On another note: Frankie Manning died this morning.
He will be dearly missed by the swing community!
RIP Frankie Manning (May 26, 1914 - April 27, 2009).
Thank you for the amazing impact you made on my life,
the lives of my friends, and swing dancing as a whole!

Greg and I had a delicious meal from Sonic today. No, we did not have to travel out of California to get it... They have one in Santee now, so we just went down, waited in line for a half hour and got the food. Totally worth the wait (which we were expecting). It's about time they got one of those down here!! All those commercials without a single establishment sucked. :(

i am jonesin' for some jones

I love the idea that you can order cases personalized by flavor and any photo you want. I want it. :D

Mirage's wedding was today.
We didn't get to stay for the whole thing.
It's a bummer...
But Greg had work (payroll) during the time of the ceremony
And then work (swing class) two hours into the reception.

I barely had the chance to eat dinner and we took off.
I did say hi to Mirage outside the reception hall
And it was nice to chat with the ADX gang.

After Greg's class, we tore up the dance floor.
Dana got some great pictures for her paper.
And my feet are definitely suffering!! :(

a new day, a whole new way

it's a new day , originally uploaded by lifelovepaper.

I had class this morning.

Had lunch with classmates during the 30 min break.

Talked with another classmate for an hour after class!!

Bought some text books.

And I bought some "think green" books!

I'm so happy. :)


oh, I also bought a bunch of stuff at Borders...
including Greg's birthday present.
I gave it to him early and he loved it!!!

Last night, Greg and I danced really well together...
However, I still landed on the floor.

He climbed on top of me and kissed me and claimed that the whole move was intentional (yeah right).

He really just needs to figure out the moves to work it in like this guy in the picture!

LoL.

The Approach, originally uploaded by Micah Boy.

I'm glad I'm staying in the program to get at least one thing done.

It will feel better to get this out of the way.

I still have more to do once the program ends...
But only one more thing...
rather than two.


Either way... I am still feeling the wrath of last semester...

That Psych class BLOWS!!

Breathe, Lauren... It's over thursday... Breathe.
