*517 - schedule

1 week into school and I'm exhausted. The work hasn't really started piling in yet, and I'm already doing at least 2 hours of homework per day. Which is incredible, by my standards. Haha. This semester proves to be really exciting; I love challenge, although I tend to get really emo when I fall short of my own expectations, so we'll see what happens :P

My schedule has pretty much stabilized and it looks something like this:

Mondays begin with an 8.40 am Hotelie class, followed by econ lecture, econ section, FWS, modern class, rush back for dinner, head straight to salsa intermediate, which ends at 9.

Tuesdays begin with another 8.40 Hotelie class, followed by food science, and then architecture, which ends at 4.30.

Wednesdays begin with yet another 8.40 Hotelie class, followed by econ lecture, a lovely break to rush back to my dorm to sleep, then FWS and modern YAY. Followed by Pandora dance at 8.30-9.30 pm.

Thursdays guess what begin with an 8.40 Hotelie class, followed by food science, and then NOTHING (what joy) until Pandora dance at 7 pm.

Fridays are for waking up late, going for horticulture (best class ever) from 12.20 - 4.25 pm, and then it's my weekend! :D

Saturdays are for snowboarding! :D from afternoon to evening.

Sundays are for church! And then Pandora dance at 3 pm.

6 dance classes/practices a week, plus snowboarding for PE, lots of fun classes that I actually enjoy ... college life is looking up. I'm taking a lot of credits though, so we'll see what happens when things get busier.

Modern improv classes make me So Incredibly Happy - it's hard to explain why, but I think it's the sense of freedom, the lack of restrictions, how anything anyone does is never wrong but always just another form of movement. You don't have to be a good dancer to be in this class; you just need to know how to move to the music in any way you like but not be shy about it. Plus all the people in the class are amazing people <3

Salsa was amazing too - I ended up being the only one there for the intermediate class ... so, I get free private salsa lessons from 2 instructors, who normally charge US$70 an hour for private lessons outside of Cornell! Wow. I love the personal attention because I get to go at my own pace, ask questions, and get corrections, and I suppose they like it too because they still get paid the same amount by Cornell regardless of how many people turn up :P So much fun!!

Pandora dances haven't begun yet, but I can't wait :D Everyone seemed to decide on choreographing lyrical this year, which is good for me, but not so good in terms of variety for the show. We'll see how it goes.

:D
