I'm so excited about it, too, because it allows me to do ceilidh dancing (you're probably so tired of hearing about that by now :P) that i love SO MUCH...plus it is legitimately really good exercise. I mean, you go skipping around on your toes for 2 hours and tell me how you feel! :)
Only downside is that, like all dance groups, there were probably 3 girls for every guy. Not a bad ratio for the gents, but the ladies were stuck having to learn to be men for the better part of the class, which sometimes becomes complicated...
teacher: "Find a partner!"
girl: "Be my partner?"
me: "Sure...Should you be the man, or should I?"
You see how it could get confusing!
Despite the complications, I am definitely going next week to get my ceilidh on! We can just add that to the list of useless skills I'm acquiring in college, right under "drawing a correctly proportioned arm" and "making 'do's and 'ah's sound like a guitar solo" :P
The other adventure from last night was our trip to Tesco (the grocery store) after an absolutely abysmal hall dinner (haggis, squash, and a spoonful of mashed potatoes? no, thank you!) Kirsty & Louise were going to cycle over there after dinner, so they helped me borrow Kirsten's bike...Wow, let me tell you. Cycling on the wrong side of the road is possibly MORE terrifying than the prospect of driving there! I was perpetually afraid that I was going to get hit by a car (I didn't, for the record). But we made it in one piece, and I picked up my cereal & milk --always an adventure because things SEEM cheap, but in fact, are not at all. Stupid US dollars ;)
And that was my night! Now, I'm so pleased because my textbook FINALLY came into the bookstore and I can now do some homework. Imagine that!
You got on a bike??? I distinctly remember you previously driving head-on into traffic, so I don't see how this experience should shake you.
