Today went well. Nothing much to write about, except for the dreaded AcaDec competition. Then again, I've lost a lot of stress for that too. I learned that nobody really cares how they do in the competition, therefore I too have become apathetic. The team has a lack of preparation. Next year I will join GATE for the independent learning experience. I will not join AcaDec. It is far too embarrassing to walk into a room unprepared in front of others who are. Nobody at my school seems ready for this competition.

I heard Ellington Hall also offers Salsa dancing on Monday nights. Jenna and I talked about possibly joining together in May.

I really want to start to learn some more dances. Dances have been great for me, especially to alleviate stress and anxiety. There's nothing like a night of swing dancing - the pain of exercise - the laughter of friends - everything blends together to make that good old thing we call fun. There's nothing like it. I always want more. More more more. Teach me to Mambo.

I presented my speech (as far as it is completed) to Mr. Sommers. He said it was good, but that I didn't smile enough. I told him prior to my speech that I wouldn't be gesticulating because the speech isn't memorized. Why did he tell me to smile I told him I wasn't going to preemptively? People now days . . . clean their ears!

While I finish writing my Jitterbug essay, you all have a good time!

Take care my friends!
