O hai thr... jeezus mary and joseph I've been reading too many lolcats

...But still the statement stands. Hey there folks, long time no musings. This quarter has sucked royally, and my silence is mostly due to that I think. No matter what though we're long overdue for an update.

So this past quarter has been horrible. It's basically convinced me that being an engineer is far too much work for the reward that I get from it. The only way I'm gonna survive 4 more years of this is by giving up everything important to me in my life, and that's just not a sacrifice I'm willing to make. I think I would have realized this last quarter if it wasn't for the fact that linear algebra was a breeze when compared to Differential Equations. That one class really made the difference for me. This quarter my average is down and so is my self confidence - I thought I would always be able to do math. Guess not.

Anyway, I'm on break now so I don't really wanna talk about school. Instead I will discuss something I enjoy much more - dancing. Dancing is one of the things that started to fall to the wayside this past quarter but I don't intend to let that happen next quarter. This past weekend was spent at a dance weekend up in the catskills called Tamaron. I've been going there since forever and it's always really nice to see everyone there. I learned some great dances, including some that I am considering bringing both to my local community in Philadelphia and in Habonim. For the future I plan on going to a marathon that Mona Goldstein is hosting near DC and hopefully to Hora Aviv, a camp normally held in Philly that this year happens to be in Dover, Delaware. It will all hopefully be much laughs.

Aliya even wants me to write an article about the participation of Habonim members in Tamaron. I think I'ma do it, sounds like a good idea.

I think that's all I'll write for now. I have more to say, but I think I'll save some writing for all the time I'll spend traveling tomorrow. Toodles!
