YES!

Ok, since I haven't posted in a few days, I have a double post.

First, I live in lovely Hammond, LA. It's a really great town. For those of you who know me from Canon City, it's roughly the same size. What I didn't know when I moved here, and it wouldn't have swayed my decision because I needed to move here anyway for school, was that Hammond is the town every train in the world has to go through. UGH! And these are not small trains. I'm talking about 50 cars on some of them. Ginny and I were driving to her house (from school to her house, we have to cross two sets of tracks) and we crossed over the last set of tracks and as the wheels of the vehicle passed the tracks we heard **Train Whistle**. We both emphatically said, "YES!" and then turned and high-fived each other. We, of course, laughed at each other; it's such a relief to know we did not need to sit and wait for that train.

Also, Ginny and I are taking a social dance class. I needed 2 extra fine art credits so I could minor in it so I figured it would be fun and fairly simple. I dragged Ginny into it, too. The class is composed of 4 guys and about 15 girls, depending on the day. It's a little difficult to partner up with everyone so we have to go through the dance a few times; the guys usually have to dance with about 5 girls per dance step to ensure everyone gets a turn. For testing, it's a whole other ball game. I had dance training back in the day when I attended Ricks and some in high school. I know how to lead and have done most of the moves we learn at one time or another. So, I pick up the dance steps quickly and lead the girl; a great benefit if she forgets her part. We have tested twice, foxtrot and swing. Both times, I had a line of girls waiting for me. I think waiting is the wrong word. They were fighting over me. Of course, ego booster! I say this only to laugh about it because I don't think I'm that good but I am definitely flattered that everyone wants to dance with me. Halfway through the test, the other guys can leave and I am left with 4 other dance partners. I'm glad to help and it's a lot of fun. Plus, Ginny is having fun with it as well! Maybe one day we will be on SYTYCD!
