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!

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 ...

Italia

Ciao! We are in Italy! We woke up at four and went to the airport. We cut it close, which means we just didn't have two hours to waste in the terminal;) the flight was so short! Luckily everything with our bags worked out which had been a little worrying since we took EasyJet. We arrived at the Argenti's and almost immediately left to take a train to Venice. Another American family is here staying nearby who are friends so they also came to Venice. It was weird to speak English to someone besides Ruby! Venice was amazing! It's so pretty and colorful. It was very hot and kind of crowded so we didn't stay in touristy parts the whole time. The water is turquoise and the buildings are intricate and charming. It's kind of like Paris but sassy. If that makes sense. We got yummy pizza and gelato. I told the dad my and Ruby 's order for gelato and he thought it was just mine. So I got two scoops! So much ice cream! Italian is so beautiful and basically a combination of...
