Good ol' Days
Tomorrow morning, one of my six roommates is leaving. So tonight, about fourteen of us went to Applebee's and had a goodbye dinner for her. While we were waiting in "the circle" for everyone to show up, I felt really bouncy and was getting the urge to Irish Step dance right then and there.
I have many inspirations and role models throughout my eight years of Irish Dancing and I still do today. And recently, I found a new video on Google portraying one of my top inspirations. This would be the group, "Celtic Spring". They are a family with six kids, all home schooled, the two oldest have gone (are going?) to Thomas Aquinas College, and they competed on the TV show, "America's Got Talent" and made it to the grand finale. I've posted the video here for your enjoyment!

Defense of the Young
This is an amazing video which I witnessed on a friend's blog. Watch the whole thing. It's fascinating.

April Fools!
Today was April Fools Day as you probably all know. I just had to relate this happening on my blog. It's too good to not tell.
In one of my classes, Leadership and Management, we have two textbooks. One is called, "Lincoln on Leadership", and the other is called "Developing the Leader Within You". Today was our first class and our professor lectured on the first chapter of each book. The first half of the lecture being on the latter and the second half on the former. He told us during the beginning of class that he had a special guest coming to speak for about ten minutes; a guest who was going to make comments on the lecture. "He's sort of famous", the Professor told us. "A real busy man who said he would stop by for a few minutes. Some of you may recognize him when he comes." Well, we were excited to say the least.
About two hours into the class, our guest still hadn't arrived yet. Our Professor goes, "I just received an email from our guest saying he would be a few minutes late." About ten minutes later, he goes, "Excuse me." He pulls out his phone. "He's here. I'm going to greet our guest and when I come back, I expect you all to give him your attention and respect. Give him a warm welcome." He exits the classroom. The class starts talking excitedly.
Five minutes later, one of the freshmen marches in with a big ol' grin on his face humming a very patriotic song. Following close behind is our professor wearing a top hat, black necktie, and holding a black beard to his face. (The adhesive wasn't working correctly.) The very man, Abe Lincoln himself. There was much laughter, cheering, and applause. He spoke for a few minutes about himself and his leadership position and responsibilities.
This school is so great

The Longest Pointless Quiz I've Ever Taken
I know I've done something like this before, but this particular quiz was fifty-eight questions long, so I figured it must be fairly accurate. If it's not, oh well!

Which Jane Austen Character are You? (For Females) Long Quiz!!! created with QuizFarm.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You scored as Elinor Dashwood As Marianne's older sister, Elinor lives at the other end of the emotional spectrum. She rarely reveals her intense feelings and is more concerned with being honest and loyal than having what she deserves. Even though her intentions are pure, she sets herself up for loss by constantly placing other people before her own needs. Overall, Elinor is gentle and rational but is just as capable of radical emotions (despite her withholding them) as her sister.
