The other side

Well, I'm gloriously, happily, awesomely on the flip side of the AP test!
It's been a hard time in comin', but I'm so glad I took this class. Even if I didn't pass, I learned so much and now I know what to expect from college-level tests.

On May 16th my dad drove me to the church. Only kids from Davis that had the class on B days were there. We went into the gym and set up tables. There was two to a table and the rules were strict. You couldn't open your vacuum-packed multiple-choice test, or the essay prompts, or talk, or sneeze, or move your eyes slightly to the left and right; that could be considered cheating! I felt like Harry Potter, sitting there writing furiously while the "professors" watched you and the clock ticked in the front of the room. Except I didn't use a quill and no one came in on broomsticks and threw fireworks :(  So anyway, I finished the 70 multiple-choice questions, went outside the church with everyone for a break. They had big cinnomon-roll things but I didn't think my stomach could take that much food, or sugar! Then we came back in for 2 hours of essay writing. Fun! The CCOT was super hard! I will post the exact prompt later after I can't get in trouble for releasing it :) (Like I said; strict!) The DBQ was kind of hard but I got in my 3 points of views, 3 additional docs, and 3 groups!! :) The C&C was my favorite. I ended up writing 12 pages. I'm hoping I passed but by July will I really care? Besides, I'll be in Europe so I couldn't care that much! (No, I'm still going to care. A lot. :))
Thanks dad for helping me celebrate with Star Trek in 3D and a yummy smoothie! Love ya! I could not have gotten through this class without you and mom

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...
