Diverse Austin!
Well tonight was a good night! My order finally went through and I was able to set up my new e-mail address at bopsbeth.com, and change web servers. It's so nice to actually be able to send e-mail from outlook again (I was having problems with the firstclass outgoing server from RIT)...Anyway, I'm all set up and the blog will be running from bopsbeth.com within 96 hours :-)
I also cleaned my apartment, and finally put away all my arts and crafts. Then I went to Salsa class, where our teacher switched it up and taught Marangue instead of Salsa. It was fun, and much easier than salsa because it's just a box step...And I was glad because my usual partner Thuc (I learned how to spell it for real tonight --but it's pronounced Tuck) was back. I also made another new friend. Her name is Jennier and she just moved to Austin from Taiwan. SHe and her husbend live at RIATA, and she told me that she has no friends :-) So naturally I gave her my number, and she might come and meet Maki this weekend. She used to study Japanease and was really excited when I told her my Japanese friend was coming :-) After class, I hung out with Thuc, and this girl Nisha who started the same day that I did, and Able. We were just talking and goofing off :-) Nisha and I were explaining to Thuc and Able how we think that the girls should be allowed to lead, and it should be more equal :-) We then demonstrated how WE WOULD lead the guys and throw them into spins and what not :-) I really like...She's in with the whole Independent Women thing :-) I think poor Thuc and Able were a bit intimadated when we all said goodbye ;-)
I was just talking to my mom, and telling her about all my new friends, and she pointed out that it was so funny, that I was making friends with all these international people! So far from my salsa class I've meet Alex--who is Lebanse (spelling?) and Palastinian, Nisha--Indian, Thuc--Vietnamese, Jennifer--Taiwanese, and Able --Mexican...Oh and then of course, Tracy and Ozan--Turkish!
Anyway...I have to go shower and get to bed. Today was a rough day for me. When I got in the morning, I was so tired and I was soooo anti reviewing some documents, that I put my head in my arms on my desk in exhasparation...and when I looked up my boss was at my cube! SHe was so worried and was like: Are you OK?!?! Do you need to go home?! Are you sick!?!? I didn't want to tell her that I was just hung over ;-) so I told her that my eyes hurt...and they really did...It's just that so did my head, and my stomache...hehehee
