Junior Year has begun


Can't believe Ari is in 6th, Free is in 5th and X is a new little 3rd grader!

 What to wear??



 This is my Dance Company binder. How adorable is this picture of me and my first ballet teacher Lisa?! I was a magpie
I took this beauty at 12 am on Friday night. I wanted to stay up to say goodbye to summer since technically that's when it ended :)

When I was little, a Junior seemed soooooo old! I didn't even know the order of freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, until.... well, I was halfway through my freshman year. When my babysitters or girls in my ward or my friends' older sisters said they were in 11th grade I just thought that was so different. So sophisticated! Now that I'm a junior, it is kind of old. I mean college isn't very far off. Maybe it's the easing into it that makes it seem like a smaller jump though. Seeing the sophomores today was weird. They belong in Junior High!   ;)
Anyway, the first day was awesome. I have friends in every class and my teachers seem wonderful. I'm taking Honors English, French 3, Seminary, Wind Ensemble, Dance Company, Chemistry Honors, Precalc and AP US History. I hope I can study smart and stay on top of things academically. I got two 4.0s last year so my goal is to get 4.0s all four terms this year.
I'm so excited for all the dance I'm doing this year! I'm taking 6 ballet classes a week, jazz and modern. And of course, Dance Company. I am just so thankful for Clytie's. It's such an amazing school and I'm grateful for the opportunity I have to dance there. I truly love it! *Nutcracker auditions are in 18 days!!

First day of college

Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...

At The Car Wash

Registering my car has been quite the ordeal. I have class until 5 every day and rehearsals Tuesday and Thursday, so finding a time has not been easy. One of my rehearsals was canceled today, so I drove to an auto-mechanic to update my registration. I knew I could get Safety and Emissions done, but thought they could also register my car. Nope! I have to go to the DMV. Then my car was failed, not because of the fact that the rear-view mirror is cracked (I bumped it in my apartment garage on a pillar-not my finest moment) but because there is a smaller circular mirror in the corner of it. It seemed like a tiny adjustment to me and couldn't believe they couldn't repair it right then at the mechanic! But it's fine-plus the owner gave me a free car-wash! Not just any car wash, "The BEST Carwash". It was $9. So I pull into the car-wash and jets start spraying all over and I can't see through the window from all the soapy water. And I'm like this is so cool! I ...

Celebrating, Italia style

My awesome mom took me to Settebello's tonight to celebrate my 4.0! It is an Italian pizza place in Station Park. It's the real deal. Italian pizza! It was first time going and we got two pizzas; all the toppings included roasted pine nuts, sausage, olives and artichoke hearts and mushrooms. YUM! I also had to get gelatto there. I've been craving it for so long and the ultra fresh raspberry and the hazelnut/chocolate flavors hit the spot. It was so cozy in there with delicious food and the pretty snow outside. Such a fun night talking to my mom about whatever and celebrating all the work that went into my first term of High School. Thanks mom!
