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

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 ...
