I met Jordan last night at the dance studio. We took a swing class together. It was a blast. It's been a long time since I've danced with a partner like him. He is fabulous and he thinks the chemistry is right between us! I'm so excited. We're going to meet on Sunday to choose a song and then we'll start rehearsals. I have been waiting so long to compete and it's finally going to happen! I'm also going to audition for the University Dance team. It's just so cool to finally have a place to do all of these things again.

My parents should be arriving in Newark as I write. They're getting a rental car and driving down. Aunt Lu is going to drive up and meet all of us for dinner tonight. Natalie is coming with us. I think that's annoying Molly a little, but my mom called and Nat answered so my mom invited her. Nat's been my best friend since we were babies so it was only natural for my mom to invite her. Besides, Molly is going out with Kelly tonight to some Princeton party. Maybe I'm just making excuses.

I just wish Molly and Natalie could get past the whole who's my best friend thing and be friends with each other. I think that if they met without me being involved they'd be great friends. At least I have Amanda. I'm so glad she's my roommate. She's one of the coolest people I've ever met. She's down to earth, smart and incredibly funny. Plus she loves to watch Dancing With the Stars. We've bonded over our lust for Mario. :)

So Josh decided he'll come down tomorrow night to have dinner with my parents. I'm surprised. I really expected him to stay in New York. He doesn't like being around my father, so I know he's doing it for me and that means a lot.

Well, I should clean up before the fam gets here. I don't want Aunt Lu to think I've turned into a complete slob!
