Fireworks

Fireworks

The sky is like a canvas covered in celestial velvet that has no end
In the vast expanse of sunset and space, glittering crystals glow through the night like silver embers flying into the wind
Suddenly when all is dark and silent you notice something gain momentum and shoot straight up into the heavens
It explodes into sparkly gold pixie dust and fades into in a glimmering streak of crimson.
Fuchsia streamers dash across your vision and the field is suddenly alive with light

First day of college

Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!!

Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...

Navajo Nation

The Honors Program sponsors a bunch of activities they allow the students to sign up for. They are as simple as a paddle boarding excursion at night, to a four day road trip to Navajo Nation. I signed up for the Navajo Nation thinking that I wouldn't get in and that it was forever away. Then someone else couldn't go and I was informed it was in two days. I am the world's worst decision maker and I had a hard time deciding to go. I would miss 5 dance classes and a biology class, plus the possible opportunity to go to the BYU-Boise game and the singles ward. But I might never get the chance to go to Navajo Nation and I didn't want to regret the " what if's ?"  College is for being a little crazy, going out of your comfort zone and utilizing all your resources and claiming every opportunity. So I decided to go. I met the group at 6:55 am, realizing that I was about to spend 7 1/2 hours in a car with people I didn't know. What was I thinking?? But th...

40 Reasons Why My Mom is Awesome

She loves to travel She encourages me to travel or takes me traveling She went to her dream college. And she worked really hard for it.

Which isn't easy because I'm a worry-wart. She dies her hair pink just because She always knows my grades, brings forgotten papers to school for me, or brings me lunch She is an amazing writer.
