ballroom blitz!

Haha, I totally just got that song stuck in your head, didn't I? Anywway, yeah, I had a great weekend. Tiring, but fan-bloody-tastic, if I do say so myself, and I do. On a totally unrelated note, I also just found the literary word I was thinking of earlier that describes words such as "fan-bloody-tastic," "abso-fucking-lutely," and the like. It is "tmesis." I love Wikipedia.

Anyway, back to the weekend, there was a ballroom dancing competition at U of I, to which we went ("we" being people from the ballroom club here at school, obviously lol). We had some interesting misadventures with the transportation, as one of the vehicles broke down on the side of the highway on the way down, and another driver got a speeding ticket on the way back up, but aside from that, it was a good time.

I competed in a bunch of beginner-level things, and my partner and I placed sixth in Beginning Foxtrot group B. Admittedly not the most prestigious award, but I honestly wasn't expecting to get anything, as I only started dancing a month ago. And it was all around just a really great time. We got to watch a lot of really awesome dancing (and some not-so-awesome dancing as well), and we went out for Greek food, and it was just a fun group thing. And hell, we got off campus. That in itself seems to be a feat for me lately.

I currently have to write two huge papers this week. Ah college. So I'm off to go watch some quality TV. Later!

~~*EDIT*~~

Forgot to say earlier, don't ya just hate it when you say something dumb and it comes back to bite you in the ass? See, in a class discussion maybe a week or so ago, I made some offhand, flippant remark about Catholicism, which probably wasn't the brightest, most sensitive thing to say, but nothing awful, ya know.....well anyway, I found out a couple days ago that the teacher of said class is Catholic. *headdesk* I like this teacher! And the thing is, it wasn't a huge comment or anything, so I don't even know if anybody remembers it but me, so it's not like I wanna go apologize for something nobody else remembers, but---gah! I suppose it would not help matters any if I said I thought he was too cool to be Catholic. *sigh* Me and my mouth.
