Have you ever been to a dance party that ended at 11:00pm and you didn’t realize you enjoyed it so much until the musicians said goodnight? On Friday night, the Salsa musicians from Argentina left us chanting One more song! One more song! That was my first Salsa Dance Party, and it was amazing. Initially, I knew nothing about Salsa. But after some professional training from my RA, Bryan, and Sharon – an expert Salsa dancer – I was good to go. I couldn’t believe how much I had learned that night. With the wonderful music from the Argentineans and the awesome Luther dancers, that party was the perfect emollient for all the stress and anxieties of the week.

Last week, my assignments were definitely more than those of my first week of classes. However, they seemed much less tedious – perhaps, due to the fact that I’m getting better acquainted with my schedule. On Tuesday, I realized what a wonderful resource the Student Academic Support Center (SASC) is. It was there that I got advice on how to better plan my schedule with my new custodial work-study shifts and changes in classes. I got incisive tips on pre-class reading and note-taking, and I realized that I could take the Honors Colloquium – a course I had always dreamed of taking. The SASC is definitely a place at least every freshman should visit.

For some reason, my classes are getting a lot more exciting. Last week, I was actually looking forward to every Paideia class. So far, I like all my professors; they’re quite friendly and approachable. I talked with my Physics professor on Friday and he told me about this cool research he’s into. I can’t give you all the details but it has to do with isolating and annihilating sub-atomic particles, and further decomposing the quarks produced. I really wish I could be a part of it (don’t worry, I’m not a nerd).

I've discovered a way to get anywhere on campus at the speed of light – the bikes from the Luther Wellness Program! Seriously, those bikes are awesome. I even use them to go downtown to Wal-Mart. They can also get addictive, considering the fact that you can rent them every day for free (which is what I do).

Right now, I feel bad that I had to miss the trip to Rochester. The diversity center was going to take us shopping in Rochester today and, after looking forward to it all week, I mysteriously woke up this morning with a sore neck. I guess I’ll still be able to go some other day. For now, I can console myself with the Capitol Steps show last night [I cracked a rib laughing; maybe I also cracked my neck], the man-made dinner at Ylvi [wonderful Filipino dish], and the intramural sports this evening. Luther just seems to get more and more exciting, doesn’t it?
