I've survived the first two days of class. Monday was a bit rough, I must admit. I got ten hours of sleep Sunday night/Monday morning and couldn't quite wake myself from the lovely slumber. I ended up floating through three classes not really absorbing too much information. Today was a different story, however. I only have one real class and this class meets once a week for three hours. It is called Global Commodities as Cultural Icons which really is just a bunch of gibberish. What the class actually is about is the place that tango currently has in the world and Argentina and how this has changed since tango began. It is incredibly interesting and the profesor is very lively and makes the three hours seem much shorter than they actually are. In April, I will also start my tango class at the local arts university IUNA. It will be Tuesday nights from 6-10. What this basically all means is that I am going to be a tango queen by the time I get back. I really am so fortunate to have this opportunity to learn about something that I wouldn't get to study in this kind of depth back at UPS. This semester is really shaping up to be what I had hoped it would be-a break from the usual science classes and a chance to step outside my own comfort zone and learn more about myself and the world around me. I really am living a blessed life.

Well, ok, I am a lot jealous of you because, unlike JD, I do not live in paradise but in Oregon where it is currently cloudy, gray and threatening to rain. But I love that picture!!!!! I dont know what's funnier- the miniman- or the fact that your awesome calves bypass his biceps. Love you and miss you a ton.
