Lord of the Dance

It's so icy outside that there was a policeman on the road outside my place just a minute ago putting flares on the road. Winter's too dangerous for me. ~sigh~

Well, the end of school is nigh. I really should have spent today working on homework, but instead I read library blogs, went to Christmas Around the World (more on that in a moment), started designing a Mac productivity app, and went through the Xcode examples so I could start to learn how to write Mac software.

So, I'm not really into dance at all. In fact, I'm kind of scared of it. Don't know why. I guess when I was younger I made up my mind that since I didn't know how to dance, I would avoid it. And fear naturally crept in. Anyway, after watching Christmas Around the World, for the first time in my life I find myself wanting to learn how to dance. :) I have no idea if I'd be any good at it or not, but I do like to dig out my fears and conquer them. Maybe I'll sign up for a dance class next semester. Me, in a dance class?!? What is the world coming to? :)

Other than that, some guy at school yesterday said I didn't sound like I was from Utah. Flattered in a way (not that anything's wrong with having a Utah accent, of course), I started wondering why on earth I wouldn't have a Utah accent. The only thing I could come up with is that my mom's from California and my dad's from Virginia and that ended up in a more universal accent. I don't know if one's accent can be derived like that, though. Interesting question...
