A Day in the Life

....of Golda Cristine Dopp
After waking up at about 7:30 or 8:00, reading The Book of Mormon and having breakfast (and getting ready) I walk to school. It takes 10 minutes to get from my apartment to the LA building. I usually take a picture of the mountains because they are beautiful. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such beauty and going to school amongst the majestic mountains.




Sometimes after Modern and Pointe and Technique and Orientation to Dance (from 9:30-1:00 or 2:15) Sierra and I go to the library for some soup, or if we're feeling splurgy, a cinnamon role

Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my long days-school until 5 pm. Wednesday I usually volunteer at Timpanogos Elementary and I LOVE it! I go to the after school program that focuses on math and science, and the kids are all kindergarten to second grade. Today one of the little boys asked me if I was married. ha! They are seriously hilarious
When I get back to the apartment I eat dinner, do homework and maybe relax by reading blogs, planning out my life or watching Friends. I usually have a grilled cheese or cereal for dinner. If I'm lucky, Gentry will suggest going to get ice cream and we'll go to In N Out where I will indulge in a cheeseburger (Jennie-I don't even split it with her!)
I have Biology from 7-8:15 on Tues and Thurs, which isn't my favorite class or subject. We'll leave it at that.
Then I finish up homework, write a To Do list, talk to my roommates until late into the night
In my old room, I always decorated the dresser and my desk and nightstands in accordance to the holiday or my mood. I still do it, but on a minimalist scale :)




Randomly starting a Pinterest project at 11 pm is not a rare occurrence either

There are so many things that make up a person. I know that "things" isn't the right word, but I can't think of something that adequately describes what a person even  would  be made of. Dreams, accomplishments, interests, regrets, mistakes, wishes, relationships, etc. I love ballet. I want to teach ballet, and I want to dance ballet. It's part of who I am. But my heart also yearns for the actress side of me. The little bite of real acting that I got at the age of ten in a production of Babes in Toyland in Salt Lake City. The countless drives to Ogden for rehearsals of Music Man when I was twelve. The ten-hour dress rehearsals of Jana's plays throughout high school. I miss that. My heart yearns for the flute. The peak of my playing my Senior year when I was practicing daily and could play Carnival of Venice like a pro. When I began to see what my practicing had accomplished and considered going on to play in a symphony. I miss French. Learning an entire other ...

So my parents are off to Paris with Freestone and Tizzy. Lucky ducks! My grandparents are staying with us some of the time, but a lot of babysitting and homework is in-store for me this next week and a quarter so I was kinda stressed out. I spaced all my homework and remembered at 11 pm last night that I had a 100 question biology test, 2 Honors English assignments (That included reading) and 6 pages of math. So I woke up at 6, did it, planned to do the math during lunch and got ready in about 2.7 minutes. Luckily, I had tutorial so I went to get Algebra 2 help and finished that. Yay! And my science test turned out to be good, I could use notes and a textbook. I am so relieved right now and I think Heavenly Father helped a lot today. The Epic of Gilgamesh has nothin' on me today! :) PS Have fun in Paris guys! We'll miss you but not too much, I mean You're In Paris! :)

You need a little chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star ~Friedrich Nietzche Doesn't that quote just give you chills? Since I'm a dance major, it really applied and hit me when I first read it. But really, couldn't it apply to everyone? Everyone needs that inner fire, the unorganized but driven, passionate part of their souls. One of my ballet teachers explains it as a dragon, sleeping below your ribs, ready to be awakened. I love that image because it makes me want to take initiative, to be strong, to let go of fear, and be a little wild. It's exhilarating, and freeing for a girl like me to tap into that more powerful, tenacious part of myself. For me, dancing lights that inner fire. I feel free to express myself and I feel vibrant and strong. Sometimes it's strange to have what used to be my "hobby" and "outlet" be my focus of study and possible career. You have to balance the academic, progressive part of it with the passion an...
