For our first reunion since I graduated, Erika and I decided to meet up in Chicago. I bought tickets to the King Tut exhibit. They had these funny hats in the gift shop. I was tempted to buy them, but I picked up a couple post cards instead.

I got high.

Drug references aside, this was right after my first solo in the Cessna 152. In case you don't know, flying is sweet.

Erika and I decided it would be a great idea to feed the ducks.

The ducks definitely agreed. 

This show was Wicked

Erika and I went to Chicago to watch this musical. We had a great time.

We went on June 17. 

Waltzing Matilda

So I'm taking ballroom classes this summer. It meets Mondays and goes for a little more than an hour.

Anyways, today was the second session on waltz. We had two extra guys today so this guy "volunteers" to dance a "following role" i.e. he was a girl for the evening. Apparently he is learning to instruct, so it is very important to learn how to follow (so he can teach it). Well, whatever his reasons, it didn't bode so well for me.

We were supposed to be rotating partners, but he always seemed to be getting back to me. It almost turned into a running joke. He was a good follow... so I guess that was good.

I'm feeling pretty proficient with the basic Waltz steps. Next week is the Tango, which I've always found intimidating.

I'll possibly be flying my "cross country solo" to SBN tomorrow, weather permitting. Final on Wednesday, argh. Ok, back to music organizing / studying. Oh yeah.. pictures!

Looooong time no see (again)

I seem to have one of these kinds of posts after longs blog droughts. Well, I'm currently in South Bend, learning how to fly.

I'll be heading to Pensacola in August.

I got commissioned into the Navy and graduated from ND in May.

Cool, huh?

Sweet pictures and stuff coming soon.
