DC Spring Concert



Dance company has been a big part of my high school experience. I think it's so important to be involved in something extracurricular with your school. It's motivation, involvement, and a deeper and more fun way of learning that often relates more to your occupation.
I made such great friendships that extended beyond dance and the studio. I learned how to work with others, how to follow and lead, how to choreograph, about college dance programs, about the elements of modern dance, and how to be a dancer who doesn't just entertain, but communicates something to the audience using movement. I learned to be unified with the other girls, and when and how to stand out.
Uniqueness was valued in dance company. Progression, research, dedication, practice and kindness as well.
I'm so grateful for the opportunities and experiences from DC. Concert was so much fun and so much work. I'm so happy with how my dance turned out and wonder at how it came to the finished product. Most of it was trial and error, happy accidents, experimenting, etc. My dancers were so awesome to try whatever I threw at them and always dance to their fullest and work hard.
Dancing with Ruby was so fun, even though we weren't in any of the same dancers except the entire group dances! We got to choreograph for Winter Concert together and spend 4th (Art History) and 8th period together every day. Ruby is so incredibly kind and patient. She was always willing to help everyone on DC; lending money when they forgot, going to get a prop they needed, lending hairspray, helping tie ribbons or fix costumes, never gossiping, etc. She's a gem!!!!
Thank you to everyone that came and supported Ruby and I! It meant so much to us!

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...

At The Car Wash

Registering my car has been quite the ordeal. I have class until 5 every day and rehearsals Tuesday and Thursday, so finding a time has not been easy. One of my rehearsals was canceled today, so I drove to an auto-mechanic to update my registration. I knew I could get Safety and Emissions done, but thought they could also register my car. Nope! I have to go to the DMV. Then my car was failed, not because of the fact that the rear-view mirror is cracked (I bumped it in my apartment garage on a pillar-not my finest moment) but because there is a smaller circular mirror in the corner of it. It seemed like a tiny adjustment to me and couldn't believe they couldn't repair it right then at the mechanic! But it's fine-plus the owner gave me a free car-wash! Not just any car wash, "The BEST Carwash". It was $9. So I pull into the car-wash and jets start spraying all over and I can't see through the window from all the soapy water. And I'm like this is so cool! I ...
