UCBDC Xmas Dance
Geoff and I went to the UCBDC Xmas Dinner & Dance last night. Seemed a little early to have a Christmas dance, but it was free so I can't complain too much! hehe :) We sat at a table with the now officially engaged Shauna and Steve, David, and Eugene and Tanya. The food was really yummy this time around - California greens with brie cheese and figs, turkey with stuffing and vegetables, and mousse for dessert. Our table indulged in a bottle of pinot grigio and we even managed to get the non-wine drinker David to try the stuff. He even admitted to liking it!
The dance portion of the evening was lots of fun. I think it was a quieter year (compared to 2 years ago) so the floor wasn't as crowded. Also since it was held on a Sunday this year, many people disappeared early in the evening because of work the next morning.
Geoff and I had to perform as part of our duties as winners of the talent show last weekend. We had no time to practice this week so it was kinda rough. Geoff made a mistake right at the beginning and I didn't know what to do (being the non-adaptable person that I am). I like having a routine and sticking to it because that's my comfort zone. I guess it's a throwback to my piano playing days. I ended up sticking with the pattern instead of following Geoff which I guess was my bad, but at least we got back on track quickly instead of doing whatever the hell Geoff was trying to lead. After we finished the Silver pattern once, we did lead and follow which turned out a lot better than I thought it would. Everyone thought we did really well... a few people said we have nice showmanship and performance abilities. :) Now we just need to improve our technique...
All-in-all, the Xmas dance was fun. It might be the last dance for a while too. The Prima Vera is in late March when we were planning on going on our Caribbean cruise. And next year, who knows if we'll be TAing for UCBDC. If I finally manage to get an environmental consulting job I might be spending a lot of time in the field and won't be able to commit to UCBDC. I guess we'll see...

what are "california greens" anyways?
I think I should've used the term "spring mix" instead: spring salad mix = mesclun = field greens = spring mix Notes: This is a mix of different young salad greens. Commercial mixes usually include arugula, mizuna, tat soi, frisee, oakleaf, red chard, radicchio, mustard greens, and radicchio.
