phew! big apple dancesport challenge (ballroom competition at columbia) is over! i made it to semifinals for chacha/rumba and jive . no finals, but we (my partner matt and i) got farther than i expected. i actually didn't think we would make it past the first round. some girl tripped me during the chacha and during the rumba my partner forgot part of the choreography so i just started following and then he remembered again but i just kept following his original lead... and we got offbeat for the jive for a little bit. yeah.... maybe the judges weren't looking when those things happened haha.
our sweatshirts are really big. the team ordered in men's sizes. i got a small. it looks like a large.

tablet arts fair (like, two weeks ago) also good. i actually painted two boards this time. one's in my room (i painted it to match my room lol) and the other is in janice's room. and i took all the leftover wooden boards back so i could repaint them for my wall. if you would like to help... hehe...

results of black friday (just the major ones):
peacoat! 50% off!!!! it's a brown and green and cream quasi-diagonal-tweed design
red boots (stilettos, so a little difficult to get around our uneven, brick-paved campus, but very cute)
cute tote bag, which kinda matches my new coat
fuzzy slippers, finally, cuz my feet have been cold for a while
business suit! full price at macy's but that's okay. it actually fits (after mommy shortened the pants...)
apples to apples and taboo! yay! game night!
Hairspray dvd and soundtrack
shirts
art supplies
makeup (for ballroom, so i don't have to use other people's haha)

and now i have a paper to write for colloquium, after i do the posting for that class... and study for chinese dictation (surprise). for the last test in chinese, we didn't have time to go over our tongyi-ci (synonym matching thing), where we pick the two words of a set of four that are most similar to each other. since we couldn't go over it in class, i called mommy. her response to a few of the sets of words? (roughly translated and simplified): wtf?! none of those are similar! something's wrong with your teacher [who wrote our textbook].
a-ha! i knew it.
