Presidency Retreat

All the Presidency members of Young Womens and Mens went up to the Uintahs for a little 'retreat.' It was basically a planning and training camp for a night and we had to wake up at 6:30 am! It was still so much fun. We learned more about our calling and planned activities for the next 6 months. The leaders had activities and lessons ready and the food was yummy. My favorite part was going for a walk with the Priests, Teachers, and Mia Maids. It was dark and the stars were so gorgeous. I even saw a shooting star! Then a leader talked to us about spiritual things and the spirit was so strong. We walked back without any flashlights, thinking about how Heavenly Father has literally and symbolically put stars and the moon in the universe to give us enough light to follow the path and make it back. My friends in the ward are some of my best friends and I'm again so lucky to have them. I think part of it is that we get to spend so much spiritual time together through things like this.
I really didn't sleep at all but when I got home a went to ballet, and I have a party tonight with all my friends who aren't old enough to go to Homecoming tonight. :)


The view from the Taylors' cabin was amazing, especially with the changing leaves:)

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 ...
