Speed-Dating

My friend Melinda and I (above) went to a potluck/speed dating event Saturday night. I felt a little guilty going because I have so much school work to do. The only problem was that I was trying to edit my website most of the day so my brain was getting blurry. I decided I needed a break. I was a little nervous about going and decided to come a little prepared so I would have more interesting questions than 'where do you work.' I looked up speed-dating questions on the web and wow! There are tons of questions out there. Some of them I was surprised someone would ask at a speed dating function. Melinda and I went over the questions as we went up to Maryland. It was fun to get to know each other better.
I thought it would be uncomfortable and awkward, but instead I found it really easy because you only talk to someone for five minutes. The only thing was that it only feels like a minute so I had no idea if I would be interested in someone. The guys I spoke with were very nice, but really it was way too short to see if we would have enough in common.
They had a dance afterward. It's a good thing I didn't know beforehand because I probably wouldn't have gone. I didn't plan on staying for that part long, but started talking to some of my friends I hadn't seen in awhile. A hot guy asked me to dance. The awful thing is that I haven't danced in years and years so I kept stepping on his feet. I felt so stupid! Needless to say he didn't ask me again. :) It was also hard to have a conversation because the music was so loud.
I have been so stressed out about school this week. We have to create a Performance Analysis and I feel like I'm the only one in my group who has no idea what I'm doing. It's very frustrating and has consumed my thoughts.
I also had to take Squeaky the cat I have been taking care of for the last 20 months to be shipped to London. It was awful! She gave me those big sad betrayed eyes. I didn't think I would miss her, but I do. I come home and she doesn't greet me. There is no other heartbeat in the house. That's kind of weird.
