Quick, quick, slow

I've figured out that weekends are much like the dance moves to a salsa beat; quick, quick, slow, quick, quick slow. This morning flew by me as I spent all of it on the computer, finishing my assignment for photojournalism (made much harder than it needed to be, but I'm proud of the finished product so over-board or not, my opinion is the only one that counts). Kris and I had our second to last lesson today and we're about out of things we can do to prepare for the talent show. I marvel at the vasts improvements we made from the beginning, and even just from week to week. However, I think after this my salsa lessons with retire. I like dancing, but nothing's more fun to me than the beat of my own drum, so to speak. I didn't want to go home after our lesson, so we went to dinner and then rented a movie and went back to his place. I like it there. My alergies still bother me a bit but I think I'm getting over them. In any case, I like that home. It's not a house, it is a certified home. I love the shudders on the front, the music room at the entrance, the smell of a boys room, the window over the bed...None of which is any interest to anyone except for those who have ever walked into a room and have known they were walking into their future. As I drove home, I wondered where I might be if I had pushed for Mike. What kind of life would I have if I had lost my mind and ran away to NY? How would I feel if I had ended up at Desert Mountain? I can't imagine it, mostly, I think, because I don't want to imagine it. If there is or was something better for me, hell, I think I would have died from the ecstacy in its perfection. But because nothing in this world is perfect, I must remind my self that there is school tomorrow--tests to take, homework to finish, lectures to live through. Life goes on. On a closing note and not at all sentimental, I recomend I Robot for your next movie rental. It recieved horrible reveiews, if I recall correctly, but I found the story to be captivating and a thriller with impressive cinemetography and comptuer design. A strong plot and a good drive, it made for a nice action film that tickled the mind into thinking 'is that really what it will be like?' Hugs to all Carrie

I enjoy reading your entries...you're so insightful. I think about the what if's all the time... like what if I went to DMHS. What if I was still on pom. Those kind of things, and how sad and meaningless my life would be without the things I've experienced and know and hold to be true now. We should hang out sometime. I think we'd have a lot of fun. call me up.
