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!

HOLIDAYS

I was so happy the Mijatovic family came to visit! Even though we're not related my blood, we're family! My lovely grandparents The newlyweds invited us and their friends to see the lights at Temple Square, then enjoy some pie and hot cocoa at their adorable apartment, conveniently located right by the temple. Such fun! Thanksgiving with the Siskins ....And everybody else ;)

The world is big. It can be scary. It can be a lot of things, a lot of adjectives because well, it's the WORLD. But there is so much  good  in it. Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
