Jubilation

I really want to just write away about my time here in Europe, my heart and mind are filled to the brim with inspiration, lessons, thoughts, ideas and jubilation! But it's just too dang hard on a phone! I've been very dedicated to writing in my journal however, so I'm prepared to transition that all on to the blog. Add our itinerary, to my own dialogue/memories and the hundreds of pictures I have....it will be quite the project. Looks like I'll be blogging instead of watching movies after my wisdom teeth are out :)
For now, just pinterest "travel quotes" and get over the cheesiness and perhaps how cliche they sound, because travel reallyrics is every good word you can think of.
And one life lesson I've learned, serendipity doesn't come from comfort. And bliss comes when you embrace the unknown and learn from situations that aren't easy or familiar. Sometimes they aren't your favorite, or even pleasant, but you can grow so much from them and usually with time, you look back to find that the memories have grown sweet. Boundaries, oceans, comfort zones-they're meant for crossing!!

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...
