I opened my eyes slowly. No. This couldn't possibly be real, it had to be a dream. I blinked twice.
"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Toto." I told my little dog.
I kept looking out of what used to be the window. Finally, I got enough courage to walk to the door and ease it open. It fell off its hinges when I pushed it, but I was too preoccupied to care.
Outside was a colorful place filled with flowers, bubbles and sunlight. A crystal clear stream ran through the middle of the street and a quaint bridge suspended over it. Roses and peonies surrounded a bright yellow brick road and sugary sweet aromas filled the air. I noticed the flowers start to move a little. Back and forth, up and down, side to side. Suddenly, short little people stood up from their hiding place. The flowers were just decorations on their colorful hats. They pointed and giggled at me. Where in the world am I?
I looked to the babyblue sky, and saw a small shiny bubble coming towards me and growing larger as it floated closer. When it came to about four feet in front of me, it became a person, holding a wand. It transformed into a beautiful woman. She was dressed in a light pink gown, will glitter and sequins covering most of it. The wand was silver and long. She smiled. "Welcome to...."
Who is the narrator? What's it from? Is it easy to tell?

Senior Flute Recital

*(I'm catching up)* November 21st Another rite of passage as my mom would say! Senior Flute recital! I had probably been practicing and preparing the repertoire for almost two years, not to mention the 8 years before that which allowed me to get to the level required to play the pieces. Cindy told me a Senior Recital wasn't required, but encouraged. It was good practice for auditions, stress and pressure management :) ;) and it was a good motivator to practice. I'm so glad I did it, even if it did seem overwhelming at times. I really started to love the flute during the months leading up to the recital. It was exciting to have something to work for and know that soon I could show what I'd been doing for so many years. I worked hard, but wasn't always the most dedicated student. Priorities often put flute behind school and ballet. Dance is my true passion and has been for so many years, but music has helped with dance and I'm thankful for the balance fl...
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! :)
