     “That’s exactly why you
              should go,” she replied.  “It’s first-
              semester social dance, so you’ll
              learn everything, starting from the
              beginning.  You wouldn’t have to
              feel awkward about it anymore.”
                      I stood there, thinking.  I really
              wanted to feel less klutzy when it
              came to dancing, but I doubted
              there was anything to be done
              about my awkwardness.  My
              dancing inadequacy was one of the
              big reasons I hardly dated.

              “A normal load is fourteen to
              sixteen credits, and I’m already
              taking sixteen and a half.  The half
              credit is wrestling, and that takes
              three to four hours per day.”
