The last hurrah

Well we're down to our last finals -- I only have my smooth final and Andrew has a religion final tomorrow, but we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I actually feel like I did pretty well this semester, especially considering how busy dance has been.. Final week has actually been my most relaxed week since the beginning of the semester!
Naturally, we've begun christmas preparations :)

Yes, that is mistletoe at the center of the arch :)
We were watching a not-so-fascinating war movie the other day, and quite honestly it was getting long so I picked up my crochet hook and tried to imitate those headbands I've been seeing in stores everywhere; I think it turned out quite nicely!


Those things are sold for nearly twenty dollars; I'm thinking this might be a good business opportunity... anybody interested?

On another note, we had the (good) surprise visit of my uncle and aunt (Olivier is my dad's brother) over thanksgiving break. They were staying at a friend of Lolan's house and we got to have a little evening of music with them; Olivier and Lolan sang and Andrew played with two of the family's sons (two violins and a viola).


And this is what I've been up to on team.... we have some pretty outrageous props in our Lindy hop routine!


And this was at the team Christmas social. Andrew had learned his lesson from last year and went through the first time with two plates piled high... of course :) I have to admit the food was quite good though, and so was the company and the entertainment! Andrew played the violin and 1 o'clock did an outrageous mariachi number... it was absolutely hilarious! And of course Andrew practiced all of his good manners learned in his etiquette class-- despite me blowing him off when he tried to hold my chair... oops! we're just not used to gentlemen anymore!


And after tomorrow, we will be FREEEEE to do whatever we please! well not really, but you get the idea...
