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!

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...

So my parents are off to Paris with Freestone and Tizzy. Lucky ducks! My grandparents are staying with us some of the time, but a lot of babysitting and homework is in-store for me this next week and a quarter so I was kinda stressed out. I spaced all my homework and remembered at 11 pm last night that I had a 100 question biology test, 2 Honors English assignments (That included reading) and 6 pages of math. So I woke up at 6, did it, planned to do the math during lunch and got ready in about 2.7 minutes. Luckily, I had tutorial so I went to get Algebra 2 help and finished that. Yay! And my science test turned out to be good, I could use notes and a textbook. I am so relieved right now and I think Heavenly Father helped a lot today. The Epic of Gilgamesh has nothin' on me today! :) PS Have fun in Paris guys! We'll miss you but not too much, I mean You're In Paris! :)
