First Week of Sr. Year

Last week was one I was not excited about. In fact, I was dreading it. Senior year seemed like such a big deal, with so many responsibilities, changes, and expectations. And what if it wasn't as fun as everyone else says it will be?
Well, the first day I had French, Physics, Seminary and AP Art History. The day went on without a glitch. I have friends in every class and the subjects actually interest me.
Physics is nothing compared to Honors Chemistry last year. The new French teacher is really good, seminary is always great, and the Art History teacher is amazing.
B day was just as good. AP English, CE Math 1050, Interior Design and Dance Company.
On Friday I went to my friend's house and had s'mores and watched Emperor's New Groove. After the movie we talked. It was pretty late and we'd just finished the first week of Senior year, so we were all so out of it. We laughed at everything.
Saturday, Jess threw Emily and Zach a surprise party. It was their birthdays on Sunday. Emily was so surprised, Zach was too but his reaction wasn't as good as Em's :) He said he was really tired...perhaps from the party the night before :)

This week is going well. NUTCRACKER AUDITIONS are in two days!! That's so crazy! I've been working hard in class and I feel pretty ready. Yesterday I fasted with Ashley and Maddie and then we went to the temple to calm and center ourselves before our last Nutcracker audition. Ashley is the queen of pep talks and she gave us a pretty darn good one.
I'm so thankful for temples, and friends, and family, and dance and opportunities! Have a great Thursday!

Good News

Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...

Why I Am Choosing To Serve A Mission

Although this is very difficult to articulate, dare I even say impossible, I am going to try! I am choosing to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I will serve for eighteen months. I do not choose where I spend those eighteen months, or even in what language I will speak during that time. I will take a break from school, from my dancing and leave my family. It is a sacrifice. It is a sacrifice I am willing to make because I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ lived and died for me so that I can repent, learn to love fully, and become like him. To become better and to learn during my lifetime. I know that he died for every one . I know that he knows each of us, individually, and wants us to be happy. Heavenly Father also loves and knows each of us. He has guided and directed me numerous times, in ways that cannot be explained without fully recognizing His divine hand. The relationships, experiences, trials, and blessings I ...

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...
