I Get Street Cred for Using that Phrase
Unfortunately for Matt, I have been constantly using the term “street cred” while talking to him. Thus, in the hopes that he is reading and in my continuing desire to annoy him, I will use the phrase once more. Today in the gym, my ab workout receieved street creds. (Notice the plural for variety, Matt!) This was a good thing, because sometimes it’s sort of an uncomfortable exercise to do. Anyhow.
This past Sunday was the Gala, which featured food and dancing lessons. I learned a little more about dancing, and while I did not double my dancing knowledge, I certainly expanded it. I did my first real tango (I use the word tango loosely), and wished there had been more swing dancing time available. I’d like to get to the point where I am not thinking about the steps and can have fun. Wabasha Caves dancing, I think.
We decided to put on our prom faces for this picture, complete with awkward pose and fake grins/grimaces. I think it turned out quite well. Crest tells me I should whiten my teeth for the holidays, and I am starting to try to stop looking at my teeth. Must … triumph over … advertising …
That random picture above was recently sent to me by Nils and is part of the group at the Taste of Minnesota this past summer. We all certainly look happy and summery and significantly less bundled up than we are now. Good memories, hope to make some more this coming summer as well. In the meantime, though, it certainly will be fun to go back to Woodbury for the holidays and enjoy some slow time. I finally feel at home here at St. Thomas, but a change of scenery never hurt anybody. I would imagine you all are feeling the same, with homework soaking up everyone’s time.
You will be finding more and more updates here as I head into the break and try to break last year’s post count of 140. I was on track for 200 easy, but got delayed by school. I guess I will go for 145 posts this year, and 200 some next year. Not a New Year’s resolution or anything, but it should make your tumbledry experience better.
To those of you still reading, wish me luck tomorrow on my Biology lab and Art History exam. While my sentence structure might indicate that the two tests are combined in some sort of bizarre team-taught environment in which we learn about the biology of art, that is not that case. They are simply two tests I really do not want to take; thankfully they should fall on the low end of the difficulty scale.
Take care everyone, we need one another.

Good luck. Although you never need it….
Nils
Do you really need luck? Let’s be honest, you don’t. No luck at all is necessary. But I will say it anyways, just so I don’t jinx it or something. That would suck. Good luck Alex. See ya over break.

Richard
I agree, you don’t need luck Alex. In fact, luck is only believed in by the unlucky.
Amber
Aww! Your pics on the front page and in the gallery are beautiful!
