Self defense class and Simmons dance!
February 10, 2006
This Saturday is the Simmons Soiree, which is a dance, and it is at the Boston Harbor Hotel, which is supposed to be really nice, I haven't been there yet so I don't know. But the dance is there, and it is semi-formal, so people get pretty dressed up I think, and it also has a "Masquerade" theme this year and so when you enter the dance everyone gets a mask to wear! And so I'm going with some friends and this guy that I know through my friend. I think it will be fun, we're all going in a group and are going to take pictures before hand. And then Simmons got these 2 nice big bus limos that will take you from the school to the dance and they look really nice too so I'm really excited! I'll put pictures up next week of course :)
And I started taking a self-defense class called RAD - Rape Aggression Defense - that they offer here at Simmons for free. Some of the security guys teach it and it is really cool. It's 6 weeks long I think and at the end of the course the instructors get all dressed up in pads and pretend to attack you and you have to use the techniques that they have taught you in the past weeks. I'm a little nervous about that, but it'll be good to be able to practice it on someone. And we are learning a lot of useful moves that aren't too complicated so that's good. It will be good just to know the stuff, and I think it will make me feel more confident, even if I never have to use it!
Well my tests went pretty well this week. Like always, it's hard to tell how you did, but we'll see. I still have one more on Tuesday, it's a big one, the first lab practical for Anatomy and Physiology and so I have to spend all weekend studying for that! There are a million bones and tissues in the body that we have to memorize locations, names and functions for for it, so I'm nervous about that too!
And New York was fun last weekend except for the fact that it rained and so that always sucks. And we tried to get tickets to see a Broadway show but they were all sold out, so we just saw a movie instead. But it was good to see my cousin.
Well I am going to go and watch some TV and unwind from my busy day, and maybe even take a nap. Until next time...xoxo Hannah :)
