And I thought beating Michigan was nice…

Now the Ducks are ranked #2 in the nation. It literally barely gets better than that.

It’s November, and it hasn’t (significantly) snowed yet. We had a few flakes fall a couple of days ago, but it didn’t stick and most people missed it. The weather is just starting to get cold, and I’m trying to rebuild my tolerance for the winter. School is going well, I’ve gotten into a pretty good rhythm, and my classes are interesting still. That’s always good because most people hate their classes by the end of the semester. We have 4 more weeks of class and then finals, and I’m halfway through my sophomore year. That’s crazy.

I was put into 4 different pieces for the Dance Ensemble concert- a lyrical, modern/jazz, jazz and hip hop. I opted out of the lyrical because the rehearsal timing made my Tuesday really busy. I was a little disappointed when my hip hop dance was cancelled a week later, but I love the other two pieces and it’s getting me back into pretty good shape. The other day I was nailing triples better than I have since… ever. I’m not sure what happened, but something clicked, and that’s always fun.

There hasn’t really been a whole lot going on around here, just a lot of studying and watching movies. Brett’s parents came up from St. Louis this weekend and it was nice to see them again. The more time I spend with them, the more comfortable I am around them, and I feel like the more they like me- all good things I suppose. We’re going to a concert in Chicago on Friday with his brother, so even though I didn’t end up in St. Louis for Thanksgiving, I’ll still be spending time with his family this month.

Oh dang, the Colts lost again this week which means my roommate’s not going to be very happy. Oh, my friend James had reconstructive ACL surgery about two weeks ago and it’s been cool to see everything (like his physical therapy) from a nursing standpoint instead of just a normal standpoint.

So… what does everyone want for Christmas?
