River Dance I am Not

We joined Irish Dance last week and it was nuts. She didn't even teach us the steps. She went straigh to routine and told us we have a recital next week. We looked like a bunch of bouncing idiots. So Kat and I are hysterical the whole time, and I realize I end the number, center stage, by myself as the point of a triangle. Even though we will be laughed at, I find something hilarious in the fact that I, a girl with no dance training or skill, am ending the show front and center. So pretty much we're going to do it and revel in the embarassment. When else am I going to be in a dance recital in Ireland???

I also signed up for the radio expecting some sort of orientation or training, but nope, the station manager put me on the schedule for this week right away. I'm doing news headlines, which is fantastic because that's what I do at FUV. I'm still really nervous though, even though not nearly as many people will be listening to FlirtFM as do FUV. I'm more scared of the equipment to be honest - I've never been good at running my own board or anything like that.

I considered choir, but eh...I'll miss Bsides at Fordham but it's such a commitment. I'd really love love to find some place or band where I could sing Irish music just once at least. And I want to play the harp and the bodhrain once! Okay maybe that's a lot, but a girl can dream!
