Technically, this past week was a week #5, which doesn't actually fit in my blog plan. So y'know what? I'm just going to talk about how my week went. And then I'm going to post this late since I didn't get to finish it when I wanted to.

I can't lie, this past week has been pretty fantastic, despite having to slog through it all. It feels like it's completely dragging, but the byproducts have been worth it, I think.

Thing #1: Econ--We had our first test in my macroeconomics class this week. I've been doing pretty well with the material in the class so far, and it's new territory for me since the only math-type things we dealt with in my engineering classes were more letters than numbers, and involved an insane amount of calculus. We got the results of the tests back on Wednesday. I have a 97% average in the class! This is big for me, given all the crap I've gone through with school in past years. It's awesome to feel academically successful after having struggled so hard to reach mediocrity before.

Thing #2: Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, FREE, in town at Live on the Green (an outdoor concert series sponsored by a local radio station). I knew I wasn't going to make it in time to see any of the other acts, but I did manage to find parking and get to the venue in time to see Sharon Jones perform, and it was SO WORTH IT. She is a complete performer, and knows just how to work the crowd's energy. I went to the concert feeling that I wouldn't stay long because I was so tired, and left ready to dance all night. If you ever have the chance to see Sharon and the Dap Kings live, DO IT. I hardly think that needs to be said.

Things #3-17: Miscellaneous goodness this week, too. Feeling skinnier this week (y'know, just one of those girly things), doing well with work, a little bit of dance/choreography work, and plenty of good things in planning stages for me, school/dance/otherwise.  On top of it all, a dress I've been wanting from one of my favorite stores, Modcloth, went on sale for almost 50% off, so I squeezed it into my budget. Woo!

A week that drags by is pretty much worth all that goodness. I could stand a little more sleep, but otherwise things are well. Who doesn't like having a good week?
