Catching Up

It's been awhile! I blame it on Honors Chemistry. I don't know why I took that class, I'm not particularly good at science and it doesn't really interest me. We've done colligative properties, stoichiometry, molar mass, molality, atm and balancing equations. Does that bring back any bad memories from High School anyone? ;) My teacher, Mrs. Laub is great, I switched to her class at semester because my last teacher was good but not my style. We have a test every other week, so that averages to one class period to learn a new lesson. With science, I don't catch on that quickly. My friend and I were talking about it and we compared it to an ice cream truck coming down the street. Everyone quickly finds there wallets with a few dollars while you slowly, carefully get out yours. By that time the truck is gone and you don't get the ice cream, even though you eventually found your wallet. That's exactly how I feel!
Dance Company, Wind Ensemble, ballet, modern, jazz and flute, AP US history, Honors English have kept me happy and given me two nervous breakdowns. Sometimes I look at 4.0 students and my mom and people in my chemistry class and wonder How do you do it?? I just have to keep reminding myself that I'm doing the best I can. I'm trying really hard to enjoy High School and I do, but my classes are so challenging with the extra curricular stuff on top. Aaaaah!
Well anyway, I got my partiarchal blessing and RUBY AND MY PARENTS AND I ARE GOING TO COPENHAGEN AND PARIS IN MARCH!! So, really I have nothing to complain about. My life is perfect. Even with the specific heat worksheets that I have know idea how to do :)
 Tried to see Tori's One Act, when it was sold out we took a ballet picture while we were waiting for the next Act
 Freestone's 5th Grade Program. He was a Magellan singer. I loved hearing the songs about the United States, since I know what they mean because of APUSH. I cried a little at the memories, cute kids and salute to the past soldiers in the audience.
They all went to Brian Head for the weekend while dad and I stayed home for school and work and going out to eat
 Mom and Dad went to NYC, we babysat, they brought home Levaine Bakery cookies :)
 I had a horrible, long cold and then a sinus infection. Finally a doctor visit and antibiotics made me better
 Ruby's birthday!! Gpa and gma took us to lunch and to Sweet Tooth Fairy for a cupcake
 Put down Christmas from my room
 Saw Sleeping Beauty at Capital Theatre by Ballet West
 Olympics!

 Dance Company workshop/state at BYU. We got Superior on both dances and our President got a full scholarship and won best choreographer. The dance workshops were fun but I got my least favorite styles; Irish and Urban! I wanted Bollywood so bad!! All I could do was laugh. Improv and Technique were fun and even Irish wasn't so bad because of the teacher. The car ride home was hilarious!!

 Sleeping Beauty

The day before the BYU thing my mom, Tolly and I drove to and from St. George for a band thing. We saw the temple, visitors' center and Brigham Young's winter home. We also got Grape Oreo bubble tea at Swigg, yummy. It was such a fun, quick trip!!
 Tizzy's birthday! Can't believe she's two! I let her do my makeup and play her little flute. I give her my old curved head joint and she sings a note and blows into it. It's adorable! Next amazing flutist!

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 ...

Senior Flute Recital

*(I'm catching up)* November 21st Another rite of passage as my mom would say! Senior Flute recital! I had probably been practicing and preparing the repertoire for almost two years, not to mention the 8 years before that which allowed me to get to the level required to play the pieces. Cindy told me a Senior Recital wasn't required, but encouraged. It was good practice for auditions, stress and pressure management :) ;) and it was a good motivator to practice. I'm so glad I did it, even if it did seem overwhelming at times. I really started to love the flute during the months leading up to the recital. It was exciting to have something to work for and know that soon I could show what I'd been doing for so many years. I worked hard, but wasn't always the most dedicated student. Priorities often put flute behind school and ballet. Dance is my true passion and has been for so many years, but music has helped with dance and I'm thankful for the balance fl...
Graduation. Am I ready? Of course not. Was I ready for Junior High or High School? No. Or maybe I just thought I wasn't. Because it always ended up fine. So much has happened in my years of public education. I learned to read, was on Student Council, learned Shakespeare, sang Shoes in the Fourth Grade Program, was in Symphonic Band as a "sevie", was a Student Body Officer freshman year, marched in the 2013 Rose Parade, spent two awesome years on Dance Company (one with my best friend Ruby), choreographed for Winter and Spring Concert, went to dances, spent hours and hours on homework, studied my brains out, tackled really really hard classes, danced in The Nutcracker ten times, auditioned for whatever I could, threw parties whenever I could, wrote hundreds of essays, traveled with my family, imagined my future, admired my parents, went to Europe three times, set goals, got my license, got three new siblings since Kindergarten, got my first pair of pointe shoes, went...
