A relaxing start to my week? HA!

Most people wake up Monday morning ready to go for the week and I do my best to be prepared for my Mondays because I have classes from 8-6! But this Sunday night, at Barnes and Noble in Lincoln Square, desperatly trying to read the play for my Technique class, something overtook me and I thought " I need coffee to be able to finish this tonight." Not looking at the clock(10:30pm) I downed a Venti coffee, finished the play and returned home around midnight. As I laid down to sleep the coffee kicked in and while trying periodically to sleep, I ended up reading the entire play Angels in America, watching An American in Paris, playiong 3 games of Soduku, and actually cooking breakfast before leaving for class at 7:30. Being a little tired, but doing ok I climbed the 3 flights of stairs to class and sat down on the floor, ready for morning warm up... and all of a sudden... the instructor yells at the top of his lungs... "Lay the F*#$ down I am not your F*#$ baby sitter.... Lay down and relax" Now you have never seen 50 people get flat on the floor so fast in your life... and relaxation was the furthest thing from any of our minds for the next 30 minutes as he lectured us about how we need to be doing these warm ups daily if we want to be professional dancers... which I don't remember signing up for... And the moral of the story...... Always look at the clock when thinking about coffee after dark:)

Well, I just want to congratulate you for making the transition to "professional dancer"... I'll come see you in Swan Lake. :)

You have officially been corrupted by the sinful city of NY. You like Desperate Housewives! I guess you need a little more prayer than what I had originally thought. ;-)

So you like Desperate Housewives? That is so funny! I hope you are having a better week of classes. Like Erin said... when are you coming to visit?

You didn't tell me you read Angels in America. Also, Gene Kelly is one of my heroes. No one can dance like Gene Kelly. He had such strength and presence. But Angels in America is one of the pieces I recommend to others. You have to be prepared for it though. It takes the reader somewhere he/she may not want to go. That's why I like it. The movie is remarkable.

Yesterday I caved in and had a Venti Chai Latte. It took about 10 minutes and the cup was empty. Starbucks has become our cultural staple.

By the way, I'm back online. There are current posts on my blog site.

OK several things and I know I'm behing.
1. Erin are you done yet? Meaning have you finished school and out in the gross world of medicine?
2. Katrina you've made the first step with the blog thing, so where is your BLOG???
3. Prissi if you were such an awful small group leader then why did Katrina have to get off the phone with me when group started? I always thought you just played games during small group. Sounded like fun to me. Besides I'm sure Jesus took time to play some games before he hit the cross.
4. When ARE you coming to visit?
5. and atleast you did not eat a whole bag of Oreos and a gallon of milk too :) miss ya
