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?

  1. 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?

  2. 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

So my parents are off to Paris with Freestone and Tizzy. Lucky ducks! My grandparents are staying with us some of the time, but a lot of babysitting and homework is in-store for me this next week and a quarter so I was kinda stressed out. I spaced all my homework and remembered at 11 pm last night that I had a 100 question biology test, 2 Honors English assignments (That included reading) and 6 pages of math. So I woke up at 6, did it, planned to do the math during lunch and got ready in about 2.7 minutes. Luckily, I had tutorial so I went to get Algebra 2 help and finished that. Yay! And my science test turned out to be good, I could use notes and a textbook. I am so relieved right now and I think Heavenly Father helped a lot today. The Epic of Gilgamesh has nothin' on me today! :) PS Have fun in Paris guys! We'll miss you but not too much, I mean You're In Paris! :)

Happy New Year!

2014 will be a great year! It's 1:46 am right now so I will blog more tomorrow but I just can't believe it's January and the start of another brand new year! Yay for 2k14!!! On New Years Eve I went to a friends house to party! We watched Back to the Future and had treats, played games, and talked. We counted down, watched the ball drop, made fun of Miley Cyrus. There were a lot of people so it was really fun. On New Years Day we visited Nana, saw Frozen, went to Coco's and dad, mom and Ruby and I went to dinner. I'd been wanting to go to Rio Grande for awhile so we drove up to SLC. When we got there it was closed! So, change of plans, we went to Royal India in Bountiful instead. I'm so glad we did!! I love Indian food and it was delicious!! We got garlic, regular and a sweet naan and lamb sagg, coconut chicken and butter chicken and a mango lasse! Heaven. It was fun to just spend time with my parents and Ruby. They are really good about taking time to give u...
There are so many things that make up a person. I know that "things" isn't the right word, but I can't think of something that adequately describes what a person even  would  be made of. Dreams, accomplishments, interests, regrets, mistakes, wishes, relationships, etc. I love ballet. I want to teach ballet, and I want to dance ballet. It's part of who I am. But my heart also yearns for the actress side of me. The little bite of real acting that I got at the age of ten in a production of Babes in Toyland in Salt Lake City. The countless drives to Ogden for rehearsals of Music Man when I was twelve. The ten-hour dress rehearsals of Jana's plays throughout high school. I miss that. My heart yearns for the flute. The peak of my playing my Senior year when I was practicing daily and could play Carnival of Venice like a pro. When I began to see what my practicing had accomplished and considered going on to play in a symphony. I miss French. Learning an entire other ...
