End of Term

This term has culminated in a huge snowball of stress, and last night that ball of stress-snow was chucked at a brick wall. My metals professor hosted a potluck in the evening for all of us grungy shop kids (it's a joke...since we're jewelry and metalsmithing, most of the ladies are *quite* fashionable) as well as our guest artist from Germany. So there we are: soaking up the first afternoon of sun in a grassy backyard (with salvia in the garden lol) while our pregnant professor mixes up a continuous supply of mojitos (her non-alcoholic beer was so silly!), listening to MGMT on vinyl. A couple of us started a fire pit, and we roasted mini marshmallows on bamboo skewers. I topped off that evening with my first night to blues dancing since the term started. I had some magnificent dances (the leads have been working on their musicality, yay!) and got a hearty "welcome back!" from everyone I danced with. Would love to get some people together to go out of town for dancing now that school is out.
