USU Luau 2012

Feeling a lot better but I'm still very far from 100 % fully recovered. I need to complete my homework for the week. I went to the USU luau last night but really I should've stayed home and moved closer to the fully recovered state. In a way I'm glad I went because I met Vai's dad. He stopped to smoke outside the Hummer. He is DEFINITELY NOT LDS. I'm not sure how to influence either Vai or her sister in a positive way. I always suspected she was spoiled. I have no doubt of that now. Her parents R not religious or strict. Something that's VERY weird to me. Traditional Tongan girls come from extremely religious and strict homes regardless of what religion they are raised with. Vai's parents got married when they were still in high school in Tonga. Vai hasn't had any restrictions at all. That doesn't mean she's made bad choices. Meeting her dad made me understand her a lot more.
It's tough for me NOT to be supercritical when I watch Polynesian dancing. I have to keep reminding myself that I danced PROFESSIONALLY-even if it was where I got most of my experience and that I can't hold everyone to the same standards. I guess I was just used to PCC boys with nice muscular bodies dancing without their shirts. I didn't like seeing all the mashmallow bodies everywhere. I gained so much weight and it is hypocritical of me BUT there is no way in hell I would dance again WITHOUT losing weight. Fat girls dancing? Yes I saw that too along with other transgressions-Again-NO, NO, NO!!!
I saw Douggie last night. He gained weight too. He isn't fat but he has chubby cheeks now.
There's a lot for me to do today. I am REALLY looking forward to spending most of next week in SLC and then in Provo visiting my brother and his family. I'm leaving Tuesday after work and I'll return Sunday or Monday morning.
