DM2012: All we do is DANCE.

We danced, and we danced, and we danced some more.  This past weekend I participated in my college's dance marathon, aka 30 hours of non-stop dancing.  It was one of the most incredible and memorable experiences of my entire life.  When someone got tired, there was always another person there ready to motivate them to keep dancing.  As a way to pass the time, I decided to live tweet every 1.5 hours.  Here are some of my tweets from the weekend...

Monday Musings

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other." -Abraham Lincoln.


Monday.  The first day of a new week.  For some reason, Monday mornings always are a struggle for me.  I set my alarm for 9:05 am...and usually manage to get out of bed by 9:20 for my 10:00 am class.  That seems like a lot of time, but it really isn't.  Here's a break down....

9:20-9:25 Brush and floss teeth/clean face
9:25-9:30 Brush hair while picking out outfit for the day
9:30-9:35 Put on outfit, apply light makeup, put hair up in pony tail
9:35-9:40 Pack backpack for the day, slightly tidy room
9:40 Leave for class

----RANDOM THOUGHT----
One of the highlights of my day is when I walk down the main road of campus and run into people that I know.  For some reason, it makes it seem like you know so many people when you really only know 1-5 out of a couple hundred.
---------------------------------------

After my first class I head to lunch by myself at one of the on campus dining halls.  There is usually a decent selection of food and the best part is that there is always SOY MILK.  Yay.  While there was a humus bar today, the hot chocolate machine was broken and my favorite non-fat balsamic salad dressing was missing.  Oh well.

This week is going to be a little crazy:
1.  Trying to organize a speaker series
2.  Trying to organize an a cappella show
3.  Philanthropy Event
4.  PC Sleepover
5.  2 Solicitations to do
6.  2 Social Events
7.  1 Prospie
8.  HOMEWORK
9.  French Quiz
10.  Everything else that will decide to pop up

Ending this post with a pic of adorable puppies...because everyone like puppies.

I'll keep you posted.
