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.

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...

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...
