Extra-Curricular

Since it is officially time for back-to-school, I thought that I should sign up for some extra-curricular activities.

But I did have a fantastic time, and am so excited for more extra-curricular dancing next week.

And maybe this time I'll be more prepared. Like, say, showing up in this:
