Tonight we teach the dancers the Quickstep. Perfect timing since I got a refresher Monday night. There are only three couples left in the competition but they all keep coming to the dance classes - Ron and Denise included - so it's really fun to watch these people learn and appreciate the art that is ballroom.

Josh is playing piano at Angelo's tonight so we're going to drive over together and then I'll go listen to him play afterwards. Angelo always gives me free desert when I go over there so it's really no hardship. :)

I am so happy it's Thursday because that means the weekend is almost here. I have no plans for the weekend but I'm excited for it anyway. I don't know why but I'm having a hard time focusing this semester. Maybe it's because my father is sick, or it could be because of all of my dancing obligations, but I suspect it's because this is the first semester that Josh and I have lived in the same state since we started dating. He's a distraction, but a really good one. I try to use Tuesdays and Thursdays as my buckle down days. He's not around and I only have morning classes so I spend the rest of the day in the library. My grades aren't suffering so it seems to be working well. I am constantly feeling guilty though - like I should be doing homework all weekend instead of hanging out with him. But as long as my grades are good I am not going to worry about it.

That said, I have another hour of studying to do before I have to leave for the dance studio. I should probably get back to work.
