I had a dream!

By all means, I should be studying, but this is more important at the moment.

I had a rather odd dream last night. First things first, now I didn't find this out till like a third of the way into the dream, but I feel that it is important to know from the start. The Bennings weren't royalty, but we were a very influential family, like the Rocketfellers, or Vanderbilts. I was getting married. It was an arranged marrage and he was seven. Apparently I was OK with this fact up until the big day at which point I rightly freaked out about marrying a seven year old. But it was a huge deal, like I was Marie Antoinette going off to marry Louis and I knew what my family duty was, even though this was modern day and I probably could have said no. So there I was, crying and freaking out in an awsome red dress and the wedding couldn't start until the Heinrichs got there becuase they were bringing some very important food item and I think Kelli was a bridesmade. She wasn't too happy about this marriage either when she got there. Also, there was something about getting a corset to wear because I wanted it.

So it turns out that he wasn't actually seven, he was seventeen. Which is still a little young, but much better than seven and I was OK with that so the wedding went on with a relatively happy bride.

Isn't that weird? What in the world is going on with my subconsious? I would appriciate some opinions on the matter, do your worst. This should be interesting. I find dreams to be lots of fun and I wish I remembered them more often. Though just hearing about Kelli's dreams is crazy fun.

A 1940's Winter Wonderland

I just got back from the closing social for folk dance. It was a 1940's themed dinner dance. Just what I was dying to do! They partnered us up with boys from the team so we all had dates. It was at the beautiful Hinckley building which we can never go to because its only for alumni. We had dinner upstairs and it was really good, then we went downstairs and they had a big band (of the high school persuasion). It reminded me so much of the Chaminade band and it made me really happy. Though the Chaminade band doesn't take twelve years to switch songs like this band did. Everyone was dressed up so nicely, I loved it so much!

Funny story: so my folk dance partner (who was not my date thank goodness) decided that since he played in his school band, he should just play with this band. So he went up and asked if he could join, borrowed somebodys saxophone and played a few songs with the band. Really brian, really?

Christmas Around the World

This weekend is the famous Christmas Around the World (CAW) performance. I am one of the lucky 200 that gets to be in it. Because its the 50th anniversary there are a bunch of alumni that are doing the opener with us and they are all really fun people, but because there are extras it means that there are a lot more people than is comfortable backstage.

I wasn't too happy about a lot of things with CAW, but by this morning, I was OK with it all. I had gotten over that I was annoyed that they wanted us to wear pantyhose and not dance tights, which goes against everything I have learned ever. They have shared makeup which is rather silly and learning the opener and closer with everyone just felt like a giant group project where there were a lot of leaders and a lot of useless people. One of those projects where you have 10 people but really only need 1 or 2. But I have gotten over that and I am being a rebel and wearing dance tights anyway because I feel more comfortable that way.

Anyway, I was getting annoyed with the people, but we finished all the learning and it is a really cool performance. This morning we did a modified show for the elementry school kids and it was awsome. They are just so enthuastic about everything. While they were arriving, we had a pre-show going on and people did tricks and the kids sang. It was just about the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

The show as a whole is really amazing. I love all the dances so much and the set looks awsome. I am impressed with what they have been able to pull off.

My parents are coming here late tonight to catch the matinee tomorrow and I am very excited to see them!

Only four days of classes then some finals and HOME!!!
