I'm taking a tap dance class this semester, and one of the requirements is to go to a tap dance concert, or at least a dance concert with one tap number. Sandra (my roommate who is also taking the class with me) got asked on a date to a dance concert that qualified, I decided to go to the same one, but I didn't want to go alone, so I asked Ryan (not my home teacher) to go with me. Ryan is a friend of mine, and Isaac's roommate. Isaac is Sandra's brother. He said yes, and so last night we went. It was really fun, although it took longer for Jordan to do my hair than I was expecting so I was a little late being ready. Luckily Ryan is a good friend of all our roommates and didn't mind waiting. The concert was wonderful! Some of the pieces were kind of weird (okay most of them were mostly weird), but we had three favorites. The first one we liked was a fun dance with two benches, and it was like a group of kids playing games, and messing around with these two benches. The second one we liked was done with the BYU jazz band Synthesis, and was similar to swing dancing, and of course we loved the tap dancing number. Their feet moved so quickly! I don't think I'll ever be able to tap that fast. After the concert was over, I gave Ryan a tour of all the secret places in the HFAC: the tunnel, the bridge, the De Jong green room, the piano shop, the floor between the floors, and the staircase that doesn't lead anywhere. Then we talked for a little while, and headed back to the car. At the car he asked if I wanted to go get some frozen yogurt. I agreed, and we went to Spoon It Up, and got some frozen yogurt. It was good, and we talked some more. It was nice to have someone come with me especially someone who I was already friends with so it wasn't awkward. All in all it was just a really good date.
So, my birthday was yesterday, and it was quite possibly the best birthday ever , and definitely the BEST day of this semester! It actually started the night before (the night of the 17th) when Janette came to dinner. We made pizza, Isaac brought cinnamon rolls, and we had several people over. I was already happy being able to party with Janette one last time before she went into the MTC . Then after dinner, my roommates surprised me with birthday cake and ice cream. Everyone sang happy birthday, and I was glad I got to celebrate with Janette. Then on the morning of the 18th (my BIRTHDAY ) I woke up and left my room, and this is what I found: streamers hanging from the connecting door, balloons all over the living room, streamers on the ceiling, a monkey hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen, and 20 sticky notes that said 20 different things my roommates love about me. : ) I have the BEST roommates ever! Sandra also had a few dollar store presents for me, and the best o...
