What?!

One of my best friends recently got engaged, being on Valentine's Day. I am friends with the individual who proposed to her, but my true friendship lies with the female. Man, it's so intense. I mean, we're 19 or 20, just two years out of high school. Life is moving so fast. Well, it's moving fast and it's not, I suppose. It's moving faster for some. It's just so crazy. I am so happy for her. She is engaged to a good man, a righteous guy who treats her the way she deserves to be treated. And I am so happy. Of course, with anything romantic comes the usual feelings of inadequacy, failure, and awkwardness that appear so randomly in my life. But my joy exceeds such feelings. I hope I get to go to their wedding. I offered to play my trombone for her at said wedding. I hope I am able to. I know this is a bit forward, but I am excited for my friend, and would like to honor her in some way. Plus, I love weddings. If asked, I will play beautifully for them. I had a fairly successful day. We actually had orchestra, and I'm getting the hang of it more and more. Other musical exploits are going well. I went dancing tonight in the CFA, with the blond oboe girl and some others. And it was fun. I noticed my fingernails were quite long, so that was embarrassing, especially since I was dancing. I'm starting to feel limited in my dancing. Meaning, I feel as if I should be learning more stuff, especially in lindy. Emily stopped by right at the very end with her boyfriend, but they had to go right away, so I didn't have a chance to dance with her, which was somewhat disappointing. She was quite sad that I would be around next year. Since she is student teaching in Stillwater or something, she would have been in close access to the Twin Cities swing dancing facilities, and she wanted me and Eric (her boyfriend) to come up and dance. So yeah, that is sad. It's too bad that all the friends I make always seem to graduate. It was Brad and Phil last year, this year it's Emily and Laura. And I won't be around next year, so that pretty much does in the juniors as well, such as Eric, Becky, and Kate. Lame. But, it's a sacrifice. I really want to wear this white jacket I got for jazz orchestra. It's so classy. My friends and I are going to have this classy type martini party sometime soon. We're all going to dress up in tuxedos (men) and formal gowns (women), drink classy drinks, and just generally try to be classy. It should be fun. I'm looking forward to it at least. So yeah, that's what's going on. It's snowing here in Decorah, and I welcome it. Winter is meant to have snow. Anyways, I should go. Congrats to C1, and much love.
