First Day of Ballet!

I feel like a little kid saying that, but it was my first day of Advanced 1!:) I'd had the same teacher for two years and she was great but it was definitely time for a new teacher; new styles, new ways of correcting, new kinds of combinations. Melissa Tice is my new teacher and the first day with her was amazing! I've had her for Arabian in Nutcracker, but not regular class. She worked us so hard and gave me corrections that improved my fouettes a lot. It was so great to get back to ballet. Thankfully I wasn't as out of shape as I thought, but I'm still a little sore this morning:)
I love the graceful, precise, beautiful, clean, elegant, classy way of dancing that is ballet. Ballet always makes me feel better. Especially when I finally do a certain move I've been working on. Sometimes you get those awesome moments in class that are just as great as doing it onstage. You work up to those few moments in front of so many people, but sometimes it's just as great to do it for you, only you. To prove to yourself you could do it.
Anyway, I'm already looking forward to Nutcracker now. I shooting for Doll, but I'll be happy with any part on pointe:)
Here's to the graceful year ahead! And goodluck to Lexie with the new studio and styles! You'll be amazing and I can't wait to come to your competitions:)!

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. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. 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...

At The Car Wash

Registering my car has been quite the ordeal. I have class until 5 every day and rehearsals Tuesday and Thursday, so finding a time has not been easy. One of my rehearsals was canceled today, so I drove to an auto-mechanic to update my registration. I knew I could get Safety and Emissions done, but thought they could also register my car. Nope! I have to go to the DMV. Then my car was failed, not because of the fact that the rear-view mirror is cracked (I bumped it in my apartment garage on a pillar-not my finest moment) but because there is a smaller circular mirror in the corner of it. It seemed like a tiny adjustment to me and couldn't believe they couldn't repair it right then at the mechanic! But it's fine-plus the owner gave me a free car-wash! Not just any car wash, "The BEST Carwash". It was $9. So I pull into the car-wash and jets start spraying all over and I can't see through the window from all the soapy water. And I'm like this is so cool! I ...
