Letting go of Undergrad

I've returned from San Diego and I learned that there are several social dance events happening in the next week. I could go to all of them, if it was my top priority. I could go and have fun, and I am used to always going to the social dance events that I can go to, if homework or lab work or dinner with friends is not in the way. But now that I've moved up to San Francisco it's a more significant committment to go to Jammix or Friday night waltz, and therefore I have to think harder about how it's going to affect Robert too, and not just me. That makes it a little bit harder--part of me really wants to go to these dances, part of me thinks I should stay home and spend time with Robert, and part of me wonders if I really want to spend an evening dancing with random people I don't know. And these parts of me aren't mutually exclusive.

I realized just today, although this is obvious, that there are plenty of places to go dancing in San Francisco, and I just need to find them. It's just that finding them, and then convincing Robert that we should go check them out (or maybe I'm projecting--maybe the effort to go check them out is hard for me)--isn't trivial. But it should be fun.
