Wedding Research. But, of course, not for my own wedding.

Even though all other university students in Canada are already enjoying their summer break, it’s hard to believe that we only have three weeks of classes left. This is mostly because most people have about five weeks worth of work to do in those three weeks. Tom has been absolutely swamped though he did manage to go to “Free Comic Book” day yesterday (he tells me there is a picture over at www.theothertomcochrane.com).
I handed in my MRP proposal and am taking a little break from that research to work on a side project for my Dance Writing class. I could have done something that related to my big project, but I needed a brain break from it! I’m doing a little folklore-y project on the tradition and the significance of having a “first dance” at weddings. When else in my life am I going to be motivated to study weddings?! Sadly, the research has been a little grueling though - there’s just not much written on first dances other then “How to Overcome Your First Dance Fears”-type pieces. To remedy this I’m going to be doing a few interviews, so, if you want to talk to me about your first dance (or lack thereof) send me an e-mail!
Or, you could just send me an e-mail to catch up. I’ve been terribly homesick this week.
The post was going to end there, but that’s a horrible way to end a post. Instead I recommend that you check out the cupcake flowchart from one of my favourite blogs, Cranky Fitness.
