Salsa! Salsa!

I'll just start with saying that things have been working out pretty good at my job. It's been really busy lately, but I've survived. Pretty soon I will be able to handle things at the front desk on my own, by next week at the latest. I will probably get a lot of crappy shifts to begin with, but such is life. I am just going to make sure that they don't put me on the 6am shift because, if you know me well enough, you know that I HATE mornings! I would seriously have to get up at 4am in order to get to work on time, totally not going to happen. One thing I like about my job is that it is in the mall so I get to interact with people all day, and since I like people, that's really cool for me. I've met some pretty cool people, no real friends yet, but that will come later I'm sure.

Ok, so now to my exciting news...
This past Friday night, Kelly and I went to a "Retro 70's, 80's, and 90's night" at a local club in town called the Prestige. It was kind of a fundraiser thing. Anyways I dressed up a little and that was really fun. We stayed there for quite awhile. Kelly heard about it through some co-workers. Anyways, while enjoying ourselves immensely (at least I was :)) Kelly and I met one of the people in charge of putting the whole thing on, Raza. As it turns out, he teaches Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, and Reggaeton dance. I talked to him a bit and both Kelly and I tried a little salsa dance with him. I've decided to take lessons! I am SO excited. I have always loved dance and have always wanted to take lessons. Kelly in fact is already taking his classes (the first "set"). The co-worker who met her at the retro dance is taking them and his partner decided not to so Kelly took her place. It's really exciting. Raza is hopefully going to help me find a partner to dance with. I am also on the hunt for a dance partner. The next set of classes don't begin until the beginning of November so I still have lots of time. I am also thinking about taking private dance lessons as well. They are much more hands on so you learn a lot faster in a shorter period of time. I might see if Raza can find me a level two partner and I can just take a few private lessons to get to the second level. That might work, but it might also be harder to find someone who is level 2 and in need of a partner. I just really want to start lessons now! I am too excited. If you want to see more about the classes check out Raza's blog: http://salsa-arctica.blogspot.com
I'll let you all know how it all works out.

Well I am off for now. It is past my "bedtime" and I have work tomorrow (of course) so I had better be getting out of here.

Tchau for now...
