I have a new love. That love is swing dancing.
I've found a place that has dancing every Saturday evening, starting at 9pm and ending at 1am. They've got a drop in class before, and then you stay and dance. Tonight I went with two of my friends, both of whom turned out to be extremely lame. They ended up leaving early, and I stayed and danced.
Tonight was my second time dancing. One of my partners asked if I had ever done any dance before, like jazz or ballet. He said I had a good feel of the floor (whatever that means) and that if I kept going I could be very good.
Everyone there is extremely friendly. You just go up and dance with whoever you want. They'll ask, you ask, it doesn't matter. And it's so much fun.
I had a moment where I was thinking about school next year, and what it would be like. In some ways I think it'll be like this. You have to put yourself out there to get the most out of it. In order to have fun you have to take a risk - and in the end it pays off. The social interaction is similar to what I think it'll be like; a lot of people together, doing something that they have a common interest in.
So for those of you reading this, go out and do something you love. It makes life more fun.
