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 choice. Who knows, maybe I'll have another change of heart and go to Snow, the U or Weber, but for now- I'm a Wolverine!

Senior year catch up!

Absolutely gorgeous sunset


View out my room after the snow storm-in February!
State Dance Company!! My classes were Muscial Theatre Dance, Ballet, and Carribean. Our edjudicated piece went well and the night performance was amazing! We performed at Ogden High instead of Weber, since Weber's stage was in use that night. The school is done in art deco and looks more like a fancy hotel or beautiful campus than a high school. Each school picked one dance to perform. I was blown away by all the dances! And when I was performing Davis' piece, choreographed by my friend Chloe, I felt a connection to it. One of those amazing stage moments you want to snapshot and keep forever.

We had a wonderful fireside (it was actually by a fire) in the Yarbrough's library. It was so good and I loved this scripture~Proverbs 4:2 that they focused on
This, my fine friends is a Dance Company lunch. Amazing. One of the best parts about being in Dance Company ;) We have one at least once a month and the moms always out-do themselves and we get to relax, eat yummy food and enjoy each others' company outside of the studio

Some Valentines gifts
I subbed three modern classes at Clytie's on Valentine's day. So fun!!
Swan Lake by Ballet West. Basically it was perfect and inspiring and gorgeous and wow
This is me today, I just took it. We had a "Career Day" today that consisted of a mediocre speaker speaking for one hour, 3 sessions with different adults in various occupations I'm not super interested in, and shorter class periods! So, I learned how to be a good presenter, that authors are weird, and that speaking to a thousand high school kids in a gym is really hard. He actually did do a good job, I just felt it wasn't super applicable to college or careers :) But I went home with Emily during lunch and her mom made banana bread so all is right in the world

DC performed at the basketball half-time show with a hip hop number. Let me repeat. Hip Hop. Hip. Hop.
I think we did a dang good job for a bunch of bunheads :) Thanks Jennie for coming to see us!

    I'm so happy for you. I know you've worked so hard to achieve all of these accomplishments. Your future is so bright. Going to UVU will be such great preparation for the mission. However, it will be weird to not just have you across the highway. We sure love you and are proud of you. UVU!!!! Can't believe it is almost here.

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 ...

Senior Flute Recital

*(I'm catching up)* November 21st Another rite of passage as my mom would say! Senior Flute recital! I had probably been practicing and preparing the repertoire for almost two years, not to mention the 8 years before that which allowed me to get to the level required to play the pieces. Cindy told me a Senior Recital wasn't required, but encouraged. It was good practice for auditions, stress and pressure management :) ;) and it was a good motivator to practice. I'm so glad I did it, even if it did seem overwhelming at times. I really started to love the flute during the months leading up to the recital. It was exciting to have something to work for and know that soon I could show what I'd been doing for so many years. I worked hard, but wasn't always the most dedicated student. Priorities often put flute behind school and ballet. Dance is my true passion and has been for so many years, but music has helped with dance and I'm thankful for the balance fl...

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! :)
