Also on Saturday, I auditioned for a Mormon movie; My Time on Earth. It was the same day as Nutcracker tryouts and it was a great way to get my mind off it. Clytie Su came with me and we had a blast. It was so much fun! The dance was kind of hard mostly because it was hip hop and tap; two things I've never taken! There was about 300 people and only 30 made the first cut. So Clytie and I didn't make first cut but we had fun and did pretty well for 2 classical ballet galls!:) We were also seen by the director and they said he'd keep our resumes and pictures for future movies. But the best part was that we met a So You Think You Can Dance finalist! He was also trying out and he talked to us and was super nice! His name is Nick. Thanks Marianne for the notice and thanks Clytie for coming with me!

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...
