Hello faithful readers,
Yes I'm still alive. I just haven't posted in a while which is why I felt the need to fill you in on what's been going on in my life, but the sparknotes version.
1) I'm leaving. Like for a LONG time. So...blogging is going to be...interesting. My parents are planning on putting together a blog for while I'm gone that will contain message and letters I send them. They will post the link onto my facebook, so keep your eyes peeled for that because I do want all of you to know what is happening in Slovenia.
2) Work? Non existant. Actually, epic fail. Work was not happening this year. I even put up flyers for tutoring and everything, but somehow it didn't work out. Granted I wasn't really expecting it to, but you know how it is. The Vancouver job market isn't the greatest and so it isn't any wonder that my job hunting didn't really go anywhere.
3) Learing Slovene. Yeah, also epic fail. The websites I did find were limited at best, and apparently the nearest library book that could teach me Slovene was out in the middle of nowhere...so, that wasn't going to happen. But, I'll be learning in a very major way very shortly, so i'm not too worried. Perhaps that is a bad sign.
4) Clogging and Folk. Yes, I'm still doing that. I really don't know what I'm going to do without it for two years. I'm going to cry. I think I'll be driving a few people crazy in Slovenia because of it. But needless to say right now I'm using every opportunity to teach, practice and continue to do clogging and other fun folk dances!
5) My flesh eating disease. Apparently I'm allergic to the oral typhoid vaccine (a series of pills not a needle in the mouth). Because for three weeks I had hives, and then my skin started peeling and hasn't stopped since. I starting taking the pills beginning of May, and it is now June. Epic fail? I think so.
6) Our deck. Apparently wood, rain and humidity are not the best things to put together. Our deck was literally falling apart, so we've decided to tear it all up and start again. Luck us.
7) The Canucks. Yeah, hockey. The Canucks actually did quite well, considering they have a tendency to epic fail somewhere between the first and second series of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. And since then, Vancouver has become a bustling metropolis of unashamed fans. Downtown Vancouver has become as crowded as it did when the Olympics were here. Perhaps even more so. What can we say, Canadians do love their hockey/hate the Bruins.
8) Despite being gone for the next two years, I'm not really that bummed about missing out on next year's Glee or Bones. Seeing that neither really tried all that hard to catch my attention. Which is saying something. Bones is slipping and Glee has been slipping for the past year. So am I going to miss TV while I'm gone? No, not really.
9) Music? Yes, I AM going to miss music. Music is kinda like food for me, and without it I kinda feel naked and lonely. But I'll make due. It might mean a lot of humming, quiet singing or just making noise, but i'll make it. I WILL SURVIVE! AS LONG AS I KNOW HOW TO LIVE I KNOW I'LL STAY ALIVE! (see, it's gonna be tough...)
10) My life since April 11? It's been nice. It's been good to be with family. Friends. Dance. It's been great to have so many people support me and wish me well. I know that a lot of you don't understand why I'm leaving the life I know for two years, but I think i'm doing what's right and you have all been very supportive. So, for that I am grateful. And please know that I will miss you all, and that you can write me and e-mail me. And i'll be back before you know it, and hopefully we'll see each other again in two years. If not, I wish you all the best and hope that you life is kind to you. Stay in touch, because I don't want to loose any of you as my friends.
See you around Blogging World! (Assuming this is my last post...I have a feeling it's not)

While I Cram For Finals
Faithful reader it's finally here! It took forever and I thought I wasn't going to make it. But I did. Year one is officially almost over...IT'S THE LAST WEEK OF CLASS! Finals start this Saturday, and by the following Saturday I'll be home for the summer. It's been a long time coming and I've enjoyed the experiences I had...but i'm also glad to be going home.
Folk dance is also officially winding down...which is sad. I've really enjoyed my time with folk dance this year. I've really had fun doing all the crazy things this year, from frightening bus rides to "Steps to being Abrasive" it's been a bucket-load of fun.
Am I sad to be leaving? Well, in someways yes. I mean it's been a really fun year (for the most part) and i've really enjoyed it, but i'm ready to get past the "freshman" angst. I'm ready to move onto new things in my life. And I'm ready for summer.
Although it IS still snowing around here. It snowed practically all day Saturday...and it is the MIDDLE OF APRIL! -gah- not really exciting...and i'm not a fan. But it is most definitely Spring. You can see it on the faces of everyone here. There is this serious sense of emotional confusion floating around. People are happily falling in love, and trust me it's happening at an almost terrifying rate. It makes a lowly freshman like myself, question the very reality i've based my opinions. Granted I'm highly opinionated...and not afraid to share it with others, but goodness, something about this love-induced campus is enough to make the most stubborn of individuals accept the fact that love might actually exist. So many people are getting happily hitched that it almost solidifies the proof that people actually WANT to get married! (GASP!)
Now, Faithful Reader, I want to assure you that I am in NO WAY going to get married. Trust me I'm FAAAAAAAAR from it. Why in the world would I get married now...i'm still VERY YOUNG! So, i'm going to wait on the whole marriage thing for a LOOOOONG time. But i'm beginning to accept the fact that marriage in university may not be that bad. In fact I think that it might even be a good thing. So...faithful reader...here comes a new shocker of the year:
Love might not actually be as bad as I initially though...!
And now I have to sit down and fully understand the weight of what I just said. Yeah, I think the world is now going to end. You all better get ready for it...cause it is definitely happening. Sorry.
Remember, the end of the world could be worse...i guess....?

Remember When Music Was Intelligent?
I often wonder how children thrust into the lime light actually function. Especially when their music is just plain terrible. But oh well, with out Rebecca Black I would never have known that today was Saturday.
Hello, Faithful Readers! It's been quite a while since I've blogged, and I know that each of you is probably itching to get their weekly dose of Sarcasm.
Can you believe it! The semester is almost over! Completely and totally finished! And with that being said, it'll be a full year of university officially done! Which is wonderful, and tiring and bitter sweet all at the same time. So yes it tastes like those Sour Cream and Chives chips where you aren't really sure if it actually tastes good or you are just out of food and that's all you've got left.
The past few weeks have been extremely busy. It's as if everything has been moving at super sonic speeds. Not that it's a bad thing. I mean, being busy is a wonderful. And a brilliant excuse for not dealing with people who don't have anything do to and like to simple hang around. So faithful reader, if you want to have a good excuse for not dealing with that annoying person in you biology class who's been asking you on a date for the past 4 weeks, just make yourself so busy that you can barely think. It'll probably work, although I'm not really sure.
This weekend has been my first free weekend in a long time, and in someways I have no idea what to do with myself, and yet I am absolutely loving the chance to sit back, relax and reboot my system. This weekend has be wonderful: sleep deprivation levels have decreased, homework has been getting done at a miraculous pace, study has been achieved, and groceries have been bought. I honestly can't remember when i've been this productive...oh wait yes I can...I am always productive I just haven't had enough time to really realize that I have been.
Aside from being overly busy, or being so bogged down with homework it's impossible to think, or watching videos that make me really contemplate which seat of the car i should take....life has been good. And despite the fact that i'm slowly regaining my sanity that disappeared somewhere last November, I have really enjoyed myself this semester. So for all those who have played a small role, or a large one, in making my life a little brighter thank you (even though at the time I might have been attacking you with Sarcasm...it was my way of being grateful).
So remember Faithful readers: Pity Fish and Abrasiveness can go a long way. Just as Folkdance!

Obsessions and Reality
That seems pretty obvious. Of course obsessions are never a good thing...and yet we endorse them... regularly. Take Internet for instance. Now there is a rather unhealthy obsession that society has become completely enthralled with. So much so those who choose not to have internet suffer social exclusion. I mean with out Internet how could you possibly know what that friend you have never spoken to in your life did 3 Sundays ago when he almost burned the eggs he was cooking and then proceeded to tweet about it. Or what about the never ending pictures of that acquaintance you barely know you wouldn't be able to see. And you'd never know who was dating who or who was married or who had kids without Facebook.
Or how about society's OTHER obsession: eating. Now don't get me wrong, as a university student I've learned the importance of eating because not eating can be seriously hazardous to one's learning. But, our cultures around the world have turned eating into a social event with bloating capabilities, rather a menial task that needs to be performed merely to keep ourselves from passing out and or dying. However, being on a tour with the universities, I've discovered just how important food is. Not eating is almost considered offensive even if you aren't really hungry at all. Good to know that no matter what country you may be in, that fact seems to remain constant.
So why the sudden outburst against societal flaws that I am just as obsessed with all of you, Faithful Readers? Simply because the reality is, that is what life is all about...Identifying something that you should fix, or solve, or erase and doing very little to stop it simply because living without internet would be as impossible as living without eating. Think about it...we rely on our connection to the internet so much that when we are cut off from it we loose all hope and fall into a rather horrifying depression that makes even the most steadfast quiver in fear. The thought of no internet is so outlandish, so unbelievable, so unrealistic that we find it almost laughable, yet something as terrible as poverty or hunger is believable and very real. Internet is a luxury, one that we can live without if we had to (yes, i know horrifying) but eating should never be considered a luxury.
But I'm no better, I'm just like all of you Faithful Readers. I can't change the world, and probably neither can you. But, that doesn't change the fact that our society might be distracted by fancy toys and gadgets and loosing touch with reality. Perhaps we should work to make reality our obsession. A reality where children in a school yard have drive-by shooting drills, where people live in poverty and starvation, where hearts are broken and rarely pieced together, where filth can be found sometimes a mouse click away, where pain is considered common-place, and where so many people are confused and disoriented. But our realities aren't hopeless, our realities are filled with light and with bright horizons. We just need to discover the light within all the dark.
Perhaps this is wishful thinking, and perhaps this is not a likely sanario where people join together to help others, but I like to think so. And since this is my blog, I can say whatever I want. So you can disagree with me, but i believe in hope, but I also believe that hope takes work!
Sorry for the soapbox, but I felt like i needed to say it...sarcasm will be back again soon don't you worry.

What Else is There to Do?
So, it's the night before the big 10 day tour of Northern California and the surrounding area. What does this mean? Basically it means dancing for 10 days straight...more or less...and hoping that legs, arms, other semi-important limbs don't lose feeling or become engorged with pain. Yes, engorged. And how does one prepare for this amazing extravaganza of almost biblical proportions???
By not sleeping.
Yes, Faithful readers, you are well aware about the fact that Sleep and I haven't been able to make our troubled relationship work. More to the point, SLEEP hasn't been able to get her act together and forgive me. So in reality, it's all sleep's fault. I've TRIED making peace with her...but NOOOO...she's just too stubborn. Well, tonight I've decided that i'm just going to let sleep be alone tonight, and see how much she likes it. And trust me, she'll come crawling back...either that or the divorce will be finalized...Hm...with sleep and I fighting so much this might make for a very interesting trip.
-SLEEP HATE-
But i am excited for this trip, despite the fact that sleep and I don't see eye to eye. And even though i'll be missing 10 days of school, i'm at peace...because I know that at least I won't be the only one who will be suffering from "post-tour stress and catch-up" or PTSACU! Yes, another rather violent acronym when said together. (See previous blog about assumptions).
But, of course sleep deprivation and stress always makes one extremely cranky. But, i vow to be a completely lovely and joyful person on this tour...well...maybe...engh....no. Pfft, why should i be happy. I'll leave that to those who never let anything get them down. Oh and by the way people who are constantly happy: I HOPE YOU STAY HAPPY! STAY HAPPY DESPITE ALL THE DEPRESSING FACTS OF LIFE! JUST TRY AND STAY HAPPY! I DARE YOU!
Ha, now all the spiteful happy people will be depressed...-evil laugh-
So, it's off to Northern California. It's off to 10 days of dancing. It's off to making new friends and getting to know a group of people so well that i'll forget what it's like not be with them all the time. It's going to be great! AND I'M EXCITED! (And i'll try and work out my issues with sleep...i'm currently getting the silent treatment...cold shoulder isn't going to work, sleep...so don't try!)
More to come,

It's Time to Dust this Blog Off
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!).

Times and Measures
Well, this has been quite a weekend. So intense, that I've had to wait a whole 4 days to blog about it, and I'm sure that each of you Faithful Readers have been waiting on baited breath for it. So, you can let out your air, because I'm here and there is no need to worry.
This weekend I was in Nevada. Now, I know that when I say this, most of you will instantly think Las Vegas. As of this moment I have yet to be to Las Vegas, although I think if I'd only go there if I was in the mood to enslave myself to at least 3 unhealthy and socially condemned addictions. Of course, naturally, you're mind instantly shifts to Reno and again I disappoint. Although I can't help feeling that Reno is a wannabe Las Vegas...and if that is the case, Reno it's time you raise your standard and stop trying to give into peer pressure. No, rather, i was in a small town called Mesquite. It is a quaint town, that again is trying to be a mini-Vegas...but I think fails more then Reno. Granted I've never been to Reno. Nestled in the Virgin Valley, Mesquite is a picture-esque town embodying the essence of Nevada: DESERT!
I'm still confused as to why people chose to cultivate in that area, however, seeing as that I am not the end all be all in when humans live, i'll simply keep my opinions to myself.
We were doing a show that was highly eventful. The show went well, and we pleased our audience, despite a few minor mishaps, namely a hat to the face or a 30 second pause of the show right near the end...and some other rather entertaining mistakes. But needless to say, the people loved us and were not afraid to tell us so. It's a nice feeling being loved.
Then we drove home.
Upon arriving home, we all slept because we were pooped and a little shell shocked. Interesting things occurred on the roads between Mesquite and Utah...things that shall not be repeated because pretty much everyone knows the story...and posting that story on the internet seems a little harsh. Although, I'm sure that if you haven't heard the story, it simply means you don't get out much and need to associate yourself with real people a little bit more. Nothing a little time outside the house can't fix. SO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND MOVE YOUR MUSCLES!
Oh, and if you are desperate to hear the story...find someone who knows about it. GOOD LUCK!
It'll be a new show next week, I'll keep you posted.

Although I can't help feeling that Reno is a wannabe Las Vegas...and if that is the case, Reno it's time you raise your standard and stop trying to give into peer pressure. No, rather, i was in a small town called Mesquite. It is a quaint town, that again is trying to be a mini-Vegas...but I think fails more then Reno. Granted I've never been to Reno. Nestled in the Virgin Valley, Mesquite is a picture-esque town embodying the essence of Nevada: DESERT!
I'm still confused as to why people chose to cultivate in that area, however, seeing as that I am not the end all be all in when humans live, i'll simply keep my opinions to myself.
We were doing a show that was highly eventful. The show went well, and we pleased our audience, despite a few minor mishaps, namely a hat to the face or a 30 second pause of the show right near the end...and some other rather entertaining mistakes. But needless to say, the people loved us and were not afraid to tell us so. It's a nice feeling being loved.
Then we drove home.
Upon arriving home, we all slept because we were pooped and a little shell shocked. Interesting things occurred on the roads between Mesquite and Utah...things that shall not be repeated because pretty much everyone knows the story...and posting that story on the internet seems a little harsh. Although, I'm sure that if you haven't heard the story, it simply means you don't get out much and need to associate yourself with real people a little bit more. Nothing a little time outside the house can't fix. SO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND MOVE YOUR MUSCLES!
Oh, and if you are desperate to hear the story...find someone who knows about it. GOOD LUCK!
It'll be a new show next week, I'll keep you posted.
