The totally awesome adventures of a High School student

On Sunday I went to a viewing for my friend's mother who passed away last week. It was so very sad, but my friend kept a positive attitude and showed me how strong she was. On Monday I missed school because of a cold which I know sounds super wimpy, but I couldn't let it keep going for weeks and weeks like my colds usually do. I also didn't want to be up every 30 seconds getting a tissue during class. So I mostly spent the day taking naps, watching Downton Abbey on my Kindle, blowing my nose, and eating ice cream. Not too bad! On Tuesday I didn't have school because the Juniors were taking the ACT. My mom, Tizzy and Tolly and I went to visit Nana and then went to Barnes and Noble. I got the perfect book there! Bunheads! I've already consumed more than half and must now force myself to savor it and read it slowly. Then we met Nikki and Grandma and dad at Cafe Rio for some seriously delicious sweet pork burrito time. Thanks guys! Then I accompanied Ruby and my dad to Salt Lake for Ruby's guitar lesson. On the way back we stopped at Zuppa's in Farmington. I got Wild mushroom bisque soup and Pina colada chicken salad. Y-U-M! Then today I had school and took Tolly, Xanthe and Freestone to the school. We had an epic adventure! We saw the Tanzimat Tower, crossed the Snowy Swamps, steered the Monte Cristo Ship, went down the Gilgamesh slide, sat on the Bangladesh Bench, and zinged on the Genghis Khan zinger. Do you like how I used a lot of AP vocabulary to name the "quests"? Hahaha, I knew it would come in handy one day :)
All in all my week is going fabulous! How is yours?

    Sorry you we sick. Yuck! You made a great decision in hunkering down and resting for a day. That's a sure fire way to help a cold for me too.

    Love all your adventures with your family!

    Bunheads looks like a neat book! Is is fiction or non-fiction?

    Both! It's based on a fictional character but the ballet company she's apart of is real. Plus the author is a retired ballerina so there's lots of truth to it:) I loved it! ~Golda

Good News

Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...

Help!

Since I'm making the important college decision in a few months, give me some advice! What was your favorite part of your college experience? Do you feel the one you attended was the best choice? Did you stick to the major you went in declaring? If you lived in a dorm, how was it? Thanks!

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...
