Surprised by Riverdance

I signed up to usher severel performances this semester at the IU Auditorium, but I've had to cancel most of them due to chemistry tests, trips home, and midterm paper. Yesterday was actually the first time this semester that I was able to usher a show that I signed up for. I was a bit apprehensive about ushering Riverdance; I really didn't think that it would be that entertaining. Two whole hours of Irish dancing? Not quite my cup of tea... Actually the only reason I ended up staying for the show was because several of the people on my floor had seen the show earlier this week and had said it was amazing. (On top of that, I was procrastinating completing my bio lab report.) I have to say that show completely surprised me. The music and dancing were phenomenal! I was amazed at how well the dancers tapped to the fastpaced Irish band, especially when s group of 10-15 dancers stepped perfectly in sync together in a line. This was a great beginning to an awesome weekend.

This afternoon I may go watch the women's Little 5 because of the prospect of Barack Obama speaking before the race. I'm going with my friends to the Feist concert tonight which should be a really good time. Tomorrow is the men's Little 500 which should also be a lot of fun. I just need to make some time to write that bio lab and study for an organic chemistry exam for Tuesday...
