Ready....Set.....Nutcracker!

 Even though Em stopped doing ballet this year, we're both excited for Nutcracker week!
 I'm so funny.
 My room is probably the most prepared...

 Actually, we were both just in the mood for an impromtu photoshoot. Luckily we had all the Dance Company girls there to take phone pics right before class. Here we are in the dance hallway, which is also the Wrestling Room and Weight Room hallway. So that's fun.

 Look at this sunset!
Ruby and I are choreographing a dance for our Winter Concert. It's in the children's half and based on a book called One Winter's Day. 
 AP Art History is my favorite class. I have to miss it twice this week; one for our Winter Concert dress rehearsal today and on Friday because I'm going to a dance workshop at UVU.
I drew this Degas-inspired Little Dancer last week because it was the end of term and I had a bit of time.

My Nutcracker bears! Noel, Gema, Bennett, unnamed, Cinnamon, Valentine, and Scarlet.


Also, just so you know...

Parents and seniors, <<<That's me! I'm a senior! gah!
It is College Admissions Week we encourage all seniors to take this week to start or complete their college applications. The University of Utah will be here Wednesday during Homeroom and Tutorial to help any students with their applications. 

Just as a reminder Dec. 1st is priority deadline for many colleges and Universities. Transcripts need to be postmarked before Dec. 1st, we will be closed for the Thanksgiving Holiday from Wed. Nov. 26th to Sunday Nov. 31st. Please encourage your student to at least request their transcripts, even if they have not finished their application, to be sent before Tuesday Nov. 25th. 


It's also Application Week. May the force be with me. 

 PS: This is my last year of Nutcracker. I've done it every single year since I was eight. It's going to be emotional and so so sad. Feel free to come drop by and talk to me and convince me that life after high school will still be fun. (You're especially welcome if you bring chocolate)  I'm getting teary eyed already. 
Maybe someday I can be a party parent.

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...
