Good afternoon on what are the last hours of my final dance marathon. This will be my third dance marathon that I’ve done throughout my undergraduate career at Columbia University—and I couldn’t be happier that I decided to join in on this wonderful event! So what if I have a thesis to write and an LSAT to take? This cause is just so worthwhile and amazing. I just got my seventh wind dancing to the Disney MegaMixx followed by some of the vocal stylings of Lady Gaga. Everybody seems to know that we’re in the final hours of the marathon and our nearly comatose states have metamorphasized into a funky fresh haze of energy!
There are a lot of things that have made this marathon in particular the best one ever! First, I got a visit from my awesome Aunt Lisa as well as some out of town guests who came for a while. Then, tons of my friends came and visited me—including Caitlin who brought me hot decaf tea in the wee hours of the morning. I’m also surrounded by lots of my sorority sisters who decided to dance this year as well, so it’s wonderful to have a support network!
As for the actual dancing, the highlights are:
-Jake Glazer, the son of Elizabeth Glazer came in all the way from LA and gave a truly inspirational speech that brought us all to tears.
-Meeting Judah Friedlander from 30 Rock (he’s awesome and so friendly!)
-getting to go onstage with Jim Linehan (http://www.jimlinehan.com).
-learning some sweet bhangra moves, thanks to the CU Bhanghra dance team!
I have to take this time to give a shout out to my family who is reading this right now—THANK YOU GRANDMA, GRANDPA, UNCLE MARK, AUNT LISA, UNCLE ED, EVAN, HALEY, AUNT SANDY, UNCLE PETER, MOM, AND DADDIO. I’ve been making you proud on the dance floor, dad! They haven’t played funky town yet, but I’m going to put in a request for I Be Strokin’!
FOR THE KIDS!!!!
