Take the Lead ~ Daily Log 5/8

So today has been a rather exhausting day, but I'm getting through it.  I didn't end up getting to sleep last night until just before 4am because my friend and I got wayyyyy too carried away with How I Met Your Mother and music videos.  But I have no regrets.  Only a little more than a month left until we're all separated :( So I'm happy to take advantage of whatever chance I get to hang out. 

This song perfectly captures my mood / thoughts / hopes right now:



"Life, it's ever so strange.

It's so full of change.

Think that you've worked it out

Then BANG!

Right out of the blue

Something happens to you

To throw you off course

And then you...

 

Breakdown

Yeah you breakdown.

Well don't you breakdown,

Listen to me because...

 

It's just a ride, it's just a ride

No need to run, no need to hide.

It'll take you round and round

Sometimes you're up

Sometimes you're down.

Don't be scared

Don't hide your eyes.

It may feel so real inside

But don't forget enjoy the ride.

 

Slowly, oh so very slowly

Accept that

There's no getting off.

So live it, just gotta go with it.

Because this ride's never gonna stop."



Speaking of How I Met Your Mother... the 8th season is SOOOO precious.  This show is amazing <3 I nearly cried.  Everyone should watch this show.  I'm going to die a little inside when it ends.



"If I just breathe

Let it fill the space between

I'll know everything is alright

Breathe,

Every little piece of me

You'll see

Everything is alright

If I just breathe."
 



So today I had a meeting at 11am, ballroom dancing at 12pm, Italian culture class at 2pm, a lab that ended up being cancelled at 3:30pm (yay!), and yet another meeting at 5:30pm today. Ballroom was fun, as always, and a pretty decent workout.  Its kind of cool because I'm getting to know some of the leads in the class and what it actually means to be a good lead.  Some of the guys think they're the shit (when they're obviously not) and absolutely fail being a lead by either being too aggressive or too loose, and yet some others are a lot more modest then really surprise you when you dance with them.  I'm really enjoying this experience and I am determined to find another ballroom class when I graduate!

I took a short nap when I got home and I'm feeling a little less exhausted.  After my meeting I worked on a few articles and caught up on reading.
