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.

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! :)

Happy New Year!

2014 will be a great year! It's 1:46 am right now so I will blog more tomorrow but I just can't believe it's January and the start of another brand new year! Yay for 2k14!!! On New Years Eve I went to a friends house to party! We watched Back to the Future and had treats, played games, and talked. We counted down, watched the ball drop, made fun of Miley Cyrus. There were a lot of people so it was really fun. On New Years Day we visited Nana, saw Frozen, went to Coco's and dad, mom and Ruby and I went to dinner. I'd been wanting to go to Rio Grande for awhile so we drove up to SLC. When we got there it was closed! So, change of plans, we went to Royal India in Bountiful instead. I'm so glad we did!! I love Indian food and it was delicious!! We got garlic, regular and a sweet naan and lamb sagg, coconut chicken and butter chicken and a mango lasse! Heaven. It was fun to just spend time with my parents and Ruby. They are really good about taking time to give u...

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 ...
