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!

The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Help is a great book for young adults and mature teenagers. It is education, funny and insightful. It is 444 pages, but a definite page turner. I rated it 5-stars because it is such a great book. It is basically about how unfairly African-Americans were treated in the 1950s and 60s. It changes perspective about every chapter, but it's fairly easy to follow along. It is from the point of view of 3 women from Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. Aibileen, Minny and Miss Skeeter are the narrators. I thought it was unique that it had more than one narrator and it allowed you to understand the story much better. Aibileen (my favorite character) is a black women who is "the Help" to Miss Leefolt. She is kind, wise and smart. Throughout the story she develops a strong bond between Miss Leefolt's little girl, Mae Mobley. Miss Leefolt is very strict and rather  oblivious to Mae Mobley. She doesn't really know how to raise her, so Aibil...

Places

California is warm, humid. It is cool mornings of dolphins emerging from salt water, and surfers catching the dusty turquoise waves. Montana is earthy, wild. It is shy deer, proud bears, and lazy buffalo. It is walking around in cowgirl boots to town, and riding horses through dry grass. San Fransisco is bold, fun. It is the golden gate bridge spanning your imagination and adventure. It is China Town; red, gold, jade. Paris is rich, beautiful. It is modern galleries, and centuries old cathedrals. It is walking, crepe in hand, to a new place that hundreds of years ago, a King walked too.It is watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle like a new constellation that was made just for you. Idaho is comfortable, familiar. It is sitting by your cousin roasting marsh mellows and listening to the river and the crickets.  Utah is different, scenic. It is hot summers, and snowy winters. It is looking at a pink smear of sky, glowing like a constant candle behind navy and ivory mountains. It is ho...

On the seventh day of Christmas

December gave to me....early out from school! Davis made their goal of getting $6,500 in 5 minutes during our "Dash for Cash" and earned a 'Christmas Officer Talent Show Assembly'. Otherwise known as 'Go Home After Four Shortened Class Periods.' So we got out at about 11:45 and Emily, Amy, Ruby, Emily M and I went to Fiiz and Bowman's to get stuff for friend gifts. I got some Lindt truffles. We went to Emily's for lunch, then Emily and I went to Farmington Station for a successful holiday shopping trip. Then we went and got her little sisters; Christina and Ellie, and I got Ptolemy and we went to Alexander's Bad Day at Kaysville Theatre. My mom ended up going too and taking Xanthe and Tizzy, who we hadn't had room for in Emily's car. It was such a cute movie! Then I took Ari and her best friend Ellison to Yogotogo. They're such cute girls. It's funny to hear their Junior High stories/experiences/slang. Oh those good ole' awkw...
