Yoga, Africa, and A hot dog on a stick

In the words of Ice Cube "Today was a good day", But since this post is being added after midnight, Yesterday was a good day.  Actually This week was a pretty good week.  Although the weather was weird (cold and rainy on Monday thru Wednesday and sunny to and warm today) it was pretty good.  I got a 9 out of 10 one my first assignment and believe I will do well on my other class assignment that I turned in yesterday.  I know you are curious about the title of this blog, but it has to do with my why my week was really good.  My roommates brought it to my attention that our on campus gym has weekly aerobics classes that consist of Yoga, Pilates, Boxercise, Salsa, and Spinning.  And the best thing about it is that it's FREE! So I planned to go to Yoga Tuesdays and Thursdays and do Salsa on Mondays and Wednesdays.  I defiantly plan on getting fine with resources like that.

Today I didn't have class so I went to the noon Yoga class and had a very strenuous yet good workout and the hit some weights afterward.  Cal State L.A. had there fall feast today and so there were a lot of booths set up in front of the union.  I got a free hot dog on a stick and lemon aid.  There was a line of people waiting for a spin on the wheel to win a prize.  You could win a water bottle, a draw string bag, a tee shirt etc.  I spun the wheel and won a ticket.  At first I'm like, a ticket?  I really wanted a tee shirt, you could always use a tee shirt.  But I couldn't switch the prize.  The ticket was to a show on campus to see a group called Step Africa later on that night.  I had no one to go with but since I had nothing else to do on a Thursday night, I went.

Step Africa was nice, basically 7 people stepping like how Black Fraternities and Sororities step at Greek Shows.  The Audience was mixed with other races who probably haven't seen stepping before, so I'm sure it was very exciting to them.  To someone who has seen it at an HBCU, it was entertaining but I guess I'm used to more tricks and music and dancing along with the stepping.  This group was all about the stepping, but they had good stories between the stepping, added a funny skit and had the crowd get on stage and participate.  It was very entertaining and I'm glad I won the free ticket, but I still want a tee shirt.

That was my Thursday in a nut shell, I will write again once I have something interesting to tell.

TTYL : )
