The Future is Here. . .

This has been a good summer, but I am quite ready to return for another year of school. I have high hopes for the next two semesters. This semester I have a couple of pretty cool English classes lined up: Literature and Film and Mythology and Folklore. I'm very excited for the second class, my writing delves a lot into mythology so I am hoping that this class will help me more fully develop some of my ideas.

Most of all I look forward to my Ballroom Dance classes; I've only been able to sate my appetite for Ballroom by watching videos on youtube. I can't wait to get back to dancing, though I will confess that I do have some nervousness about this--opportunities for dance being quite rare in the wilderness. I am afraid that I have lost what little I gained last year. . . while all of my friends have progressed through the summer. I'm going to be very, very behind; the classes that I need are audition based. Plus I have to find dance partners all over again. . . blah!, but with hope.

Coming back to Alaska has also illustrated how much I really do enjoy some sort of contact with humanity. I may be an introvert, but I need some social exposure. This semester I vow to be a bit more aggressive in inserting myself into the social sphere. Good luck to me.

Anyway, I've been ready to go back to a place filled with sunshine, dance, and women for the last couple weeks. Now, that future is here. Only three more days of preparation, and I'll be on my way.
