Project for School
For my World Music class, my professor assigned us to work in groups and do a fieldwork project, observing about a specific musical group and writing about the way music functions in our community. So my group and I observed a local dance group, called All For One. It’s an volunteer-based organization that provides inexpensive dance classes to kids to provide them a way to experience culture, stay fit, and have fun in a safe, constructive environment.

We first observed a Mexican Folklorico dance class. The students wore their “practice skirts” and “character shoes”, which are along the same lines of a tap dance shoe.

Then we observed a Hip-Hop dance class. This was a less structured, less disciplined class — but still intense. The kids really looked like they were having fun!

It was a fun subject to choose! We will be researching the history of each kind of dance and its corresponding musical style, and writing up a five-page paper. Then we’ll be presenting our findings to the class in a few weeks. Fun, fun, fun!
African Violets
Here’s an update from the last time I took pictures of Mom’s African violets… They seem to be doing well!

I love African violets. They hold special meaning to me because they remind me of my great-grandma, who used to grow them all the time. She had such a green thumb, and always had her home filled with thriving plants and flowers!

He sure has his eye on those dice!
grrrr, harddrive
Sorry I haven’t updated recently…the harddrive on my laptop is full, so I haven’t been able to load my pictures from my camera! 🙁 I have been clearing off files/software that I don’t use anymore, and have managed to clear off 5gb. I’ll be blogging again soon….

My hubby managed to surprise me with roses as usual… :] They’re beautiful!
I found this helpful post on another blog, called Just Plain Joy. In her post, the author (incidentally, her name matches mine) gives step-by-step instructions for her system of organizing her pictures on her hard drive. I recently sorted all my pictures in a similar manner, and have found it much more convenient!
