• The cocktail party on Saturday was so much fun!  The guy who was mixing the cocktails was really good at it and with drinks like "The Incredible Hulk's Incredible Urine" and "Dr. Nik's Blue Oyster" how could they not be fantastic?  I got quite drunk, but only because I had my husband there to be my designated driver and watch over my drunken antics.  We danced, played charades, danced some more, did the limbo across the room, got the cops called on us, settled down to played pictionary, did some improv and ended the evening finding homes for all the guys who had too much to drink.  All in all, best party ever.  Like I said, I really love my class and the way we all just magically get along is almost unfathomable but it makes me really happy.  I feel so lucky to have met all of them!

  Earlier on Saturday I studied for an exam that's in a few hours.  I also joined a study group on Sunday evening to prepare for it.  I really hope I do well on it because the last exam in the class resulted in a 65%.  If I do poorly though it won't be because I didn't try to learn the material and put in the time to work through all the sample problems, so I guess I can't feel too bad.  Plus everyone says that professors don't give below a B in graduate courses, so hopefully they aren't just saying that to make me feel better.  I just really want to do well to prove to myself that I can.  I know it shouldn't matter at this stage of life but it matters to me.  I've always been a grade oriented person and I don't think that will ever change.

  I had a lot of fun breakdancing yesterday even though my butt and thighs hadn't really recovered from the hardcore workouts of the previous week.  I learned my first popping movies (like when you see guys looking like some kind of motion is flowing through their body) as well as some cool up rock and a couple more freezes.  I still don't have the upper body strength to support my weight in a hand stand for more than a fraction of a second before my arms buckle, but I'm working on it.  I mean, it's only my third time ever at the club and I feel like I've already learned a lot.  I'm sure by the end of five years I'll be some kind of breakdancing superhero fighting crime with my killer moves.  I'll have to come up with a secret identity.  Maybe I should start wearing a cape.

  I fell asleep at 8 PM yesterday because I was so tired from staying up until 3 AM Saturday night and getting up the following morning to work on group work and breakdancing and then eating a big meal...so now I'm awake right now.  I don't particularly want to be.  There isn't anything to do at 5 AM.  But I can't sleep anymore so I'm drinking a glass of water and making an entry.  I guess I could always play an online game.  I don't know.  It's also really dark in here.  I feel like Batman if he was blogging.  Man...I bet Batman's blog would be really really angsty.

  Anyway, good morning internets. :3
