I'm all packed (except for he computer, obviously), trying to finish the fresh food and have, writing more Plaude per request, and wondering why the hell it's been so long since I wrote in first person.
I went out dancing (god, do my legs hurt) last night with a group from my uni to a place cleverly called Salsa. Where they predominantly played Salsa. Had an argument with almost every guy about the origins of it, which I still can't get used to, as in Puerto Rico to consider it to be anything but Puerto Rican, even, or rather especially, in musicology circles is basically tantamount to treason. Or maybe that's just the impression I get. I think I'm going to get some CDs of indisputably Puerto Rican music like bomba y plena. Also some Christmas music.
For some reason, I hadn't noticed until now that there are no Latino guys at my uni. Lots of Latina girls, but no guys. So it was Latina girls (and one British) and British guys. The guys had no clue what they were doing, though at least two of them were really into it from the beginning. The rest we had to drag onto the dance floor. Their performance: not so great. But hey, they tried. It is very awkward when you're trying to lead when he doesn't know what he's doing and you're trying to teach him on the fly.
It's 12:17? Ack! Must go to bed. But will I fall asleep? I'm tired, but my body refuses to fall asleep when I got to bed early. It seems to feel that it's wrong. Or maybe it's just insomnia.
