Have you ever noticed that every blogger
eventually begins a post by apologizing for not updating his or her blog? I
used to hate that. I mean, c’mon! just skip that part and go straight to
whatever you want to say! So today I want to begin this post by apologizing. I
know it has been a while since I last posted here, but it happened because, as
you probably know already, college can be overwhelming sometimes and midterms are
scary. By the way, does anyone know why professors always – like, ALWAYS –
choose the same two weeks for all their midterms? I don’t know you, but when I
have three midterms in a same week I kind of tend to freak out a little bit.
Okay, I freak out a lot. Anyway, let’s put these complaints aside because I
want to talk about something a little more cheerful.
I am part of the International Students
Ambassadors (which is pretty fun, and I will probably make a post about it in
the future) and this year we decided to join the World Dance for Humanity. What
is it? Glad you asked. World Dance for Humanity is a nonprofit that raises
money to “grassroots projects in Nepal, Uganda, Ghana, Liberia, and to Sarah
House in Santa Barbara.” I think this is pretty interesting to say the
least. So on Halloween weekend we, and a bunch of other people, will meet
downtown and do the Michael Jackson’s Thriller dance and try to bring attention
to this good cause. Here is their website in case you want to check it out: http://worlddanceforhumanity.org
Last Friday we, the Ambassadors, met by the
cafeteria and practiced because most of us (including myself) didn’t know the choreography.
I don’t think we are really good at it now, but at least we know what we are
supposed to do. Well, more or less. I think it is going to be fun; we are all
going to be dressed as zombies and be dancing in downtown. With a bunch of
people we don’t know. In front of a bunch of people we don’t know. At least it
is for good cause. Besides, worst case scenario, it will be a funny story to
tell.
Unfortunately, we didn’t take many
pictures, but here is the only one I have:
