We are organizing a benefit dance performance to be performed July 28-30. But wait! This show isn't just a dolly-dinkle way to justify asking people for money. Oh no. We are inviting 12 student choreographers to create pieces for our show. Each choreographer will create two dances, and the dances must be linked somehow. How? Well, that's up to you. And to help you create the very best work you can, we have a panel of professional choreographers who have agreed to mentor your works-in-progress. This is a great chance for you hone your skills or try something new. Applications can be found at taketwodance.tumblr.com

All dance genres are welcome. We are organizing a diverse, vibrant performance.
No previous choreography experience is required.

And for those of you who don't want to choreograph, but who want to come see the terrifically creative dances, our show (Take Two) will be performed July 28-30, 7 p.m. at Classical Ballet Academy (875 S 170 W, Provo). Tickets will be $5, available at the door.

So I've been at BYU for a while now, and in my experience I have noticed that a great deal of BYU students want to become dentist. In fact on the BYU predental club website it say that the BYU predental club is the 'largest and most active club in the nation.'

There are pros to this. Like some great predental classes offered for BYU students. But there are also cons, like too many students from BYU increasing the competition for dental schools. I am wondering what's going on, and why BYU produces so many dentist.

Is there something about the Mormon religion that makes people want to be dentist? Perhaps it is because becoming a dentist is hard (How to Become A Dentist) and LDS people tend to take the hard road. Or, maybe it has something to do with the lifestyle of a dentist after graduation.

I'd be curious to hear your opinions on the matter. Peace out!

There is a new blog about the bathrooms/restrooms/the john/the loo/lavatories/washrooms/porcelain palaces here on the campus of BYU. Whatever you want to call them is fine, but the fact is most of us use them every and experiences can sometimes be not so great. So the point of this blog is to keep you informed about where to go with pictures, commentary and ratings. All information comes from interviews and personal visits by myself. *Pictures inside womens bathrooms coming soon*

So check back every once and a while to see if one of the bathrooms you frequent comes up, make comments on your own experiences and rate them yourself, tweet at me if there's something urgent happening; this is supposed to be interactive. And hopefully you will find where/how your on-campus bathroom experience can be the best that it can be.

I'm taking a Public Speaking class right now (with Kurt Mortensen). The class is really really good, something he said was really interesting.

80% of your success in life will come down to your people skills, and personally that's an area I really need to work on, so this public speaking class is really good for practice, but I think I need more help / training.

What are other good fun classes to improve social skills / people skills.

Here's some stuff i've thought about so far:
- Human Psychology Classes
- I've heard about Improv Clubs / Classes but don't know where to get involved.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Yesterday, Google announced on its blog that it is partnering with Provo-based LucidChart to give away 100 Chrome Cr-48 notebooks. These users will be part of a pilot program to test the laptops and provide feedback to Google.

Because LucidChart is an online diagramming and flowcharting application, it will select winners who make the most creative diagrams and share them in its online library. More details about the contest and how to enter can be found here. Contest runs through February 12.
