Now that I've gotten my complaints about school out of the way, I can blog about happy things. Yesterday to celebrate the half-way mark through our Sophomore year (wow that's wierd)! My friends VaNeta, Crystal and Tori came over to eat pizza, watch Bridge to Terrabithia, and laugh and talk. My parents, like you didn't know already, are the coolest parents ever. My mom loves to have parties and knows exactly what to do with teenagers; give them yummy food, let them know you're there, and then leave them alone:) Crystal cried the most during the movie which was awesome for me because I'm usually the best crier:) We were all kind of emotional with sleep deprivation, stress, and relief with the end of term, so it was good to have a good cry:) We laughed a lot and told lame jokes after it was 11 pm and we all wanted to keep partying, but we were so darn tired! Today, I will go to ballet; tonight, we'll go to the regional dance; tomorrow I'll have 9 am ward choir, church and a Presidency meeting, Monday and Tuesday I will put on a drama camp and Wednesday I have a Symphony performance. Oh and I'm giving a talk in sacrament meeting and I'm the new Mia Maid President and oh yeah, we have Ruby's Birthday party. Life never stops, but I'm glad because that's what makes it exciting!

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...

I Was A Stranger

My mom began volunteering at the Asian Association refugee center, called Sunnyvale, when I was still in Orem. She told me all about the kids she worked with, and I wanted to go volunteer with her as soon as I could. She has a gift of really seeing people, so her descriptions of their little personalities, challenges, likes, dislikes, talents, and persona were vivid and true. After the LDS church made powerful statements on aiding, accepting, and loving refugees, my mom got a tidal wave of donations, offers to volunteer, and questions regarding the specific needs of Sunnyvale. Our porch is hardly ever bare of kind and generous donations. It was so neat to see individuals be so service-oriented and charitable. They gave in whatever capacity they could. My mom is good at offering time. Does she have time to run me down to Salt Lake? Yes. Does she have time to stop at every neat-looking rock on a road-trip? Yep. Does she have time to volunteer for three hours five times a week while...

Good bye Nutcracker

Nutcracker is over and I'm sad! It was so much fun and I made great memories. I fell on the last night during the Maid dance which was a bummer. My tray flew off my hand when I fell even with the strap on the bottom. I just pretended it was on purpose and made some hand gestures like I gasped and then walked off. Luckily it was at the end of the dance. I still had Waltz and finale and I wasn't going to let one fall make me sad or not do my best the rest of the time. Strangely afterwords I felt really calm and didn't really care until after party scene. It was kind of funny and I didn't hurt myself. The weird thing was that right before the performance I felt like I was going to trip or fall....and I did. Hahaha, well I'm just the really clumsy maid now :)  Maddie is a pro photo bomber. I just wish she'd bombed one of the bad pictures instead!  My favors for the Waltz gals  Emma being me...haha she'd be a great Maid! :) Love her  Cutie...
