Copenhagen

Traveling makes me happy! So here is a tid-bit of information, pictures and thoughts on places I've been
Travel is a passion of mine, so I threw it up on this blog of mine. ENJOY




København 


Copenhagen was such an amazing city to explore. I had never been before and it's not a city that's underrated in my opinion. I didn't know what to expect which made it exciting and mysterious!
We got the flight for about $400. $400!!!!!! That's the only reason we went. My parents could not ignore airfare that cheap. The catch: the flight was from LA. We live in Utah. That's right, we drove 12 hours just to get on the plane. We spent an hour at the beach after the long car ride, then headed to the airport. I left my new, warm, convenient, awesome, basically magical parka on the flight. It's the kind that could roll up into a little bag and it rolled away under my seat and I forgot it. And Copenhagen in March is freezing. So I would suggest not losing your parka. And...
  1. Wear a scarf. Everyone in Europe does it and they look fashionable and classy and sophisticated. Yes, even the men. Especially the men. I think American boys should follow suite ;)
  2. Wear leggings under pants. Helped so much!
  3. Invest in a good pair of walking shoes with good insulation, room for thick socks and strong soles
  4. Layer up! 
  5. Insulation! Copenhagen was the bone-chilling kind of cold because it's surrounded by water and far north. The humidity can soak through cotton and most fabrics, so wear wool or polyester or coats like this <And they're on sale!! Seriously, these coats are so warm and are not bulky or heavy
  6. Wear gloves and hats. Remember: no cotton. Also comfort, warmth and durability are more important than fashion

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 ...

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! :)

You need a little chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star ~Friedrich Nietzche Doesn't that quote just give you chills? Since I'm a dance major, it really applied and hit me when I first read it. But really, couldn't it apply to everyone? Everyone needs that inner fire, the unorganized but driven, passionate part of their souls. One of my ballet teachers explains it as a dragon, sleeping below your ribs, ready to be awakened. I love that image because it makes me want to take initiative, to be strong, to let go of fear, and be a little wild. It's exhilarating, and freeing for a girl like me to tap into that more powerful, tenacious part of myself. For me, dancing lights that inner fire. I feel free to express myself and I feel vibrant and strong. Sometimes it's strange to have what used to be my "hobby" and "outlet" be my focus of study and possible career. You have to balance the academic, progressive part of it with the passion an...
