Blue Suade Sneakers

I didn’t fail!!!!! I had my medal test for dance today. The medal test, if you don’t remember, is where you dance in front of judges and they determine what level you dance at and give you a certificate accordingly. I did the Social 1 level, which means I danced rhythm foxtrot, cha cha and boogie. As most of you know I don’t have a partner for dance and spend much of the time dancing with my invisible partner, Ramone. Unfortunately, if you want to do intervarsity (compete against other schools), you need a partner. As I wish to do this, I’ve been trying to get a partner for a while, to no avail. But today, in addition to not failing, I got a partner to not fail with! He is lovely and shall be referred to from this point on as DP (dance partner…how original). [Side note: please let me know if these acronyms are useful or just irritating] Despite only having about 20 minutes to get used to dancing with each other, we both got a "highly commendable" on our little report cards. That is we scored one below "honours", which is the highest you can score. I’m thinking that once we get used to each other we may not fail at intervarsity as well :-)

I’ll update the rest of my past two weeks a bit later on, but I just wanted to share the happy news with you all! Now I must get read to watch the rugby and go to the Robbie Wessels concert tonight. Ciao for now!
