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!

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...

A brief testimony

Excerpt from an email to a missionary friend:  I went to Young Women in Excellence last night and Ruby and Ari spoke. It was super neat because I was in charge of New Beginnings back in March and the themes of both nights were the same: Embark. Back in March I still didn't know what school I was going to, whether I'd serve a mission at 19, etc etc. And now, I kind of have embarked. I'm living on my own, I went to Europe for 6 weeks since then, I'm no longer in Young Womens, I'm at college and getting ready for a mission! It was a really good thing to think about, remember and analyze whether or not I'm letting Heavenly Father steer the course of my life. There are some stormy seas in life, but I am so thankful that I have a testimony that I know I can rely on and that Heavenly Father will work with and strengthen. Even if strengthening my testimony means more trials, I feel more peace and comfort than I ever have because I have come to see that God really...
