Summa Tiiiime!

Summer might be my favorite time of the year...but my favorite season is Fall and my favorite holiday is Christmas:)
This summer has been so so so much fun! Of course New York was a highlight and so was Trek but I've also loved being able to sleep in (well once Marching Band was over) and relaxing.
Ballet was supposed to start this Monday, but because the new studio isn't done yet, it's going to start August 13th. I'm so sad! I miss it! I wish I could have done a dance camp this summer but it just didn't fit in.
You might be wondering how EFY went! Well...I didn't go. Apparently we signed up for the week we'd be in New York. We thought it would be the next week, but we were wrong. A word of advice from my mom, never schedule anything really important days after having a baby!
I was really disappointed I couldn't go but the trip was so worth it and I can go next year. Hopefully to a Stay-a-way camp! (In Hawaii:))
So that's what is goin' on right now!

  1. IKR! I'm sorry Golda! I don't know what happened on that. Poor Ella, too, having to go all by herself. We'll have to take her flowers. I love the Hawaii idea! Start saving!!

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...

Celebrating, Italia style

My awesome mom took me to Settebello's tonight to celebrate my 4.0! It is an Italian pizza place in Station Park. It's the real deal. Italian pizza! It was first time going and we got two pizzas; all the toppings included roasted pine nuts, sausage, olives and artichoke hearts and mushrooms. YUM! I also had to get gelatto there. I've been craving it for so long and the ultra fresh raspberry and the hazelnut/chocolate flavors hit the spot. It was so cozy in there with delicious food and the pretty snow outside. Such a fun night talking to my mom about whatever and celebrating all the work that went into my first term of High School. Thanks mom!

A brief testimony

Excerpt from an email to a missionary friend:  I went to Young Women in Excellence last night and Ruby and Ari spoke. It was super neat because I was in charge of New Beginnings back in March and the themes of both nights were the same: Embark. Back in March I still didn't know what school I was going to, whether I'd serve a mission at 19, etc etc. And now, I kind of have embarked. I'm living on my own, I went to Europe for 6 weeks since then, I'm no longer in Young Womens, I'm at college and getting ready for a mission! It was a really good thing to think about, remember and analyze whether or not I'm letting Heavenly Father steer the course of my life. There are some stormy seas in life, but I am so thankful that I have a testimony that I know I can rely on and that Heavenly Father will work with and strengthen. Even if strengthening my testimony means more trials, I feel more peace and comfort than I ever have because I have come to see that God really...
