Tuesday I had Ancient Legacies and the usual dance classes. I'm in the library currently, waiting to meet some friends to see Jurassic World (for the third time...it's fine.) Ancient Legacies and Biology are going to be a struggle. I prefer Shakespeare over Homer I think. But I'm getting smarter and that's sort of why I came to college right? My biology teacher is a hoot. She's from France and is really enthusiastic, a little sarcastic and long-winded. It's only a semester class and so far it's been a review of 7th grade biology. Anyone remember making a cell model out of cake and candy? Totally came in handy today. :) Adjusting pretty well, there are times when I just miss my high school friends or want to be in my own house, but learning to live on your own is so important, I'm just grateful for this opportunity and excited to get in the swing of things!
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...
Glad to hear it's going well. Can't wait to hear about your first wknd down there and all the fun activities.
