Hello world!

I have been very busy lately because my family drove all the way from Maryland for two holy camoley long days to come see me! And to do other things, of course. We stayed at their friends' houses up in Salt Lake City and had parties with them every night. Literally. I would have to put up some pictures of what we did while they were here. Since my camera sucks and I couldn't find it anyway, I didn't use it. I would have to wait for my sister to upload her pictures. I definitely had a great time with my family and I wished they stayed longer in Utah. Oh well. For one more time, I must say that all good things come to an end.

As for school, summer term is winding down. I can't believe this is happening so fast! I would be scholastically free in a week! (So says my roommate Andres). I'm really looking forward to the break. I hope I've broken the Last Week of Semester Curse. It's when things do not really work out right at the last week of the semester, like some computer crash while writing an important paper. For some reason, it has happened to me since I came to BYU. I feel that it's not going to happen this time, but we'll have to see about that! Let's keep our fingers crossed, and to add more power to that, our knees bent to the ground as well.

Tonight we had folk dance recreational night ("rec nights" for short) at BYU. It's when we folk dance lovers gather to... folk dance! In case you think it's weird, I could tell that you are totally wrong. Everybody who comes to these things will absolutely love what we do here. This is folk dance, and folk dance is generally a social thing. And this social aspect of folk dance makes it more fun. I have always enjoyed rec nights and tonight was no exception. I was sweating like never before but I could say that this sweating was one of the most awesome I have ever had. I was dancing for about two hours, and at the end of that my legs were ready to give up. I didn't stop though, so tonight I'm going to ice my legs. Think of it as my legs being nice to me and not giving up so I have to reciprocate by being nice to them too. Right?
