Day 2


Shopping at UNI QLO (as in unique clothing), such a cool store!

Yum!
 We went to a fancy Mediterranean restaurant; Bouledsud. I got a watermellon salad, delicious ravioli and chocolate gelatto and cake. Mmmm!
We shopped along 5th Avenue a bit and went into Tiffany's! So pretty and so expensive! We also went in Sahk's 5th Avenue which was cool. We didn't buy anything at either, but luckily there was an H &M and UNI QLO where I bought some cute clothes:)
Gorgeous view!


We went to MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) and lucked out with the free Friday night deal. We favorite was the Starry Night by Van Gogh that was there!



And then my favorite part of the trip....
NEWSIES!
The theatre was of course gorgeous just like the Mary Poppins one and we were in the front rows of the balcony which were perfect! The sets were really creative and the actors were unbelievable. We had a few understudy performers but they were just as good as the other people I'm sure. Jack Kelly was amazing! All the dancers/Newsies were fantastically marvelous! The choreography was so impressive and I couldn't believe how great the dancers were. I loved Seize the Day and the tap number in King of New York. I wanted to get up on the stage and start dancing and singing so bad!! :) Someday...
After the show I bought a Newsies tote and one of the workers told us the cast would be out there giving autographs. We waited by the stage door and most of the cast came out! I. was. so. excited.
We even talked to a lady whose son played the Newsie, Romeo. He was only 17! His mom was really nice, and she had to move to New York just so he could be in it! We got pictures with our favorite dancer; Ryan (aka Specs) and Andy (aka Romeo)
They gave papers to the audience that we could write our headline on. These were some of the ones from previous shows


Andy, can you tell he's nice? :)
We could tell Ryan was ballet-trained and he did a bunch of fouettes in one number and had amazing extension and jumps! I'm mad I'm blurry, but it was awesome to meet him!!

That's the guy who played Jack Kelly:D
I was shaking I was so excited!

After all that we went to a pizza place and I had my first slice of New York pizza. It was so delicious!
That was like the best day of my life!

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...

Good News

Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...

Camp!

Girls Camp this year was amazing. We got home today and I'm sad it's over! But next week I have a Dance Company photo-shoot and some workshops that I'm simply so excited about! They always do an amazingly fun job:) Anyway, this year I was a YCL and in charge of Devotionals. I felt bad that I couldn't fully participate in planning since I was in Europe, but it was super fun and it all worked out. Our leader or woman in charge was Julie Karren. She is one of the most amazing people I know. She has breast cancer but did not let that get in the way of planning and attending Girls Camp as if she were Super Woman. Which she is. She gave an amazing devotional that brought the spirit so strongly. She has taken this trial and turned it into a blessing, a challenge, and something that won't stop her. I admire and love her so much! Sister Richards also helped plan the Camp. She made adorable temple-shaped sugar cookies that we ate on the way up to Payson when we stopped to s...
