Day 7: Grace In Small Things
- Homemade sushi with sautéed tofu.
- When people you aren’t even related to become your family.
- Saving that hot pink skirt you bought years and years ago, only to have it become the perfect addition to your latin ballroom costume now. Packrating pays off!
- Impromptu little gifts.
- Flip flops—because sometimes, even on the coldest and rainiest of days, putting on socks and shoes to leave the house is just too much work.
Wage a battle against embitterment and take part in 365 days of Grace in Small Things.
Speaking of latin dance Chanel, are you by any chance going to the UBC Gala Ball in March? I think I might be going (beginner, obviously).
Reply: Oooh! We should meet up! I will definitely be at Gala—I’m going to be competing in it on Friday night and watching on Saturday night! What about you?
February 25th, 2009 at 3:13 amSo I met up with my partner to hand in the registration form. At last minute I checked my calendar and realized I have an ECON MIDTERM on Friday from 7-9pm. Someone shoot me. Maybe next year eh? I feel so bad for bumming my partner out.
Are you doing Latin or Standard? OMG TAKE VIDEOS!! But yea, if I can get my midterm moved or somehow get pro enough for the Saturday competition, we should arrange to meet up!
Reply: Oh wow, what a small world! That really sucks that you have a midterm at the same time. :( I would compete on Saturday anyway, even at the newcomer level—basically, even though its not club-closed, its still almost always mostly UBC Dance Club people from the newcomer level anyway! And even if you don’t compete, you should totally come watch on Saturday night – that’s when the pros come out to compete, as well as the showdances!
We’re doing both Latin and Standard… so nine dances (everything except the waltz). And I am definitely going to get it on video… but, whether I let another soul watch it is an entirely different manner. :D We should definitely arrange to meet up if you can make it out to Gala sometime that weekend!
