You know it's sad, when you have to "remove dust" off a blog simply because you haven't posted in 2 weeks...when I just didn't have time to sit down and write about my life. But let me recap the past two weeks as condensed as possible.
1. Idaho...it's cold...music mishaps...good food...nice families...boring bus ride. FOLK DANCE!
2. mid-terms...still happening...never-ending...one made me laugh.
3. FOLK DANCE (gala)...funny...skit...best thing of the night...should of won...PAC cheated (just kidding)
4. AUTOGRAPHS...from my profs...they look different at close proximity... I think that's why they like being so far away from their students....
5. Fixing the choreography to a dance that was supposed to be done a month ago...YES!
6. DIVINE COMEDY! SUPER FUNNY! Got to know some friends/friend better...and old friends came out of the woodwork
7. New shows...new music...new ipod cable...university bookstore is overpriced...
8. Confused a group of individuals on how to do a new style of dance...but they caught on pretty quick...FOLK DANCE!
9. Discovered that I don't have school next monday...
10. Found on that Preference is a Utah thing...and that I still don't fully understand it.
So that was my week, but that's not really why i'm blogging...because there is a much more pressing issue coming our way. There is a serious problem that is currently plaguing the western world. It's a threat to humanity, and is something that has only now decided to rear it's ugly head ONLY because most of the population in said Western World is bored by winter...
It's Love.
Or rather, a misguided idea of Love, simply because it has been implied by a mysterious societal holiday/celebration.
Valentine's Day. The day to encourage heartfelt emotions, passionate convictions, and potential increases in the Human Species. And let me tell you, this university is no different. Couples have been sprouting up like the non-existent weeds that are only growing back home...and trust me...they are all over each other.
If there were ever a holiday to make those in the single community uncomfortable with there primarily satisfying existence, this would be it. Valentine's Day divides everyone into two groups: Single or Couple. And since this divide is extremely obvious, Valentine's Day only make the gap wider. Thus, the single community disregards the gushing holiday and instead focuses on: SINGLE AWARENESS DAY (SAD). I am full supporter of Single Awareness Day. Everyone should celebrate it. EMBRACE THE SINGLENESS! LOVE IT! Your only single once, so don't waste it!
But, i'm not worried. Couples come and couples go, I mean, by mid-march all these Valentine's Day Couples will have either died out, quieted down, or at the very least disappear down the same hole they crawled out of. But nevertheless, there is a lesson from this holiday: NEVER EVER TAKE YOUR SINGLE STATUS FOR GRANTED (Because you never know when it might be taken away!).
Signing Off,
DG, who doesn't actual hate love, just gets confused by it...
I like all of the Folk Dance comments! hahaha
