Missing Zumba

Lately I've really been missing Janet's Zumba class that I went to for 2 or so years. It was the only workout in my life that I've ever truly enjoyed, and I really that wish she hadn't left our YMCA. I do think I should try to go to one of her other classes at the other YMCA that's 20 or so minutes away. I have never found a teacher I've liked as much as her. Her class was just full of fun and energy, and the way she moved was just kind of inspiring. Plus, most people think of Zumba as an American knock-off of real Latin dancing for the purpose of working out. But Janet's style was authentic AND energetic.

Anyway, I just thought of this because I was just re-organizing my playlists in iTunes (since I hadn't backed up the data when I restored my library, just the songs), and I was re-creating my Zumba playlist. One song especially ("Ta' Encendió" by Oro Solido) is just so lively and made me want to do Zumba again. But I will only settle for Janet quality or better, so that makes it hard...

Also, it looks like I'll be going to De Anza Community College next year and then transferring to UC Santa Cruz for Fall of 2013. And hopefully Padraic will have moved out to the SC area before I start UCSC. I've been looking at the classes/AP scores I am looking to get credit for, and I have quite a few.

I am in such a summery mood right now that I just want to garden and waterski and hike and hang out in the backyard of my house. But I have 42 days to go. And Padraic and I still have to figure out when he's coming to see me in the summer. Hopefully late June through early July or something. And my family's going to Europe for two to three weeks when I'm done with school. That should be pretty cool. Plus it will give Padraic and I the chance to write letters to each other actually out of necessity, though I will miss talking to him as often. It's so weird how when you're this in love with someone, talking to/being with the person becomes your first priority, whether you want it to be or not. Even when I am doing something I enjoy, I will always prefer to be with Padraic. Which makes it hard to do anything without him. But for another year or so, that's how it has to be.

I know I kind of ditched the 10 day writing thing, but I'd like to continue it when I feel inspired to do so.

I hate group projects.
