Math and Swords
I solved a proof! I solved a proof!
I solved my first proof since ninth grade geometry. Until five minutes ago I was seriously feeling like I wasn't smart enough for high level math. It's nice to be wrong.
In other news I'm delightfully overdoing dancing. Sarah convinced me to go to the SCA meeting today where I ended up signing on to a weekend long dancing event. English folk and country, here I come. Then later tonight Maryam convinced me to come learn bellydancing with her. This is much exciting, especially as it paves the way for Moroccan sword dancing and Egyptian cane dancing. *glee*
Incidentally, I think I have a new part of my evening routine. Just prior to starting homework I went outside and practiced sword katas and cuts. It was extremely meditative and really cleared my mind. This should be a regular thing.
Oh, and even more excitement: there's east coast swing (jive and jitterbug) and waltz in Madison on Friday. Iris is coming! Jesse is coming! Maryam is probably coming, and Zee and Justin may be coming! Yay dancing posse of happiness!

In the Art of Peace, a single cut of the sword summons up the wondrous powers of the universe. That one sword links past, present, and future; it absorbs the universe. Time and space disappear. All of creation, from the distant past to the present moment, lives in this sword. All human existence flourishes right here in the sword you hold in your own hands. You are now prepared for anything that may arise.
