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 orientation. Then another guy who served the same miss up n as one of them came. Turns out he's th e older brother of one of my best old dance friends! And all three are from the Kaysville area. And they served where my friend just got to as a sister missionary. Small world. Convocation was good, there was a free BBQ that was yummy. Then we went to the other Honors housing to swim with the same boys. They went to Layton and Viewmont. It's so funny how high school really doesn't matter now, it's a clean slate and some of the things now seem silly! But one of the common "get to know you/conversation starter" is So where'd you go to high school? Which usually initiates a "oh ya? Do you know so and so?" Haha
I'm loving college! Dance, independence, meeting new people, convenient dorm, classes you want to be in, trust, newness. Ah it's just great. Happy first day of school!

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...

I Was A Stranger

My mom began volunteering at the Asian Association refugee center, called Sunnyvale, when I was still in Orem. She told me all about the kids she worked with, and I wanted to go volunteer with her as soon as I could. She has a gift of really seeing people, so her descriptions of their little personalities, challenges, likes, dislikes, talents, and persona were vivid and true. After the LDS church made powerful statements on aiding, accepting, and loving refugees, my mom got a tidal wave of donations, offers to volunteer, and questions regarding the specific needs of Sunnyvale. Our porch is hardly ever bare of kind and generous donations. It was so neat to see individuals be so service-oriented and charitable. They gave in whatever capacity they could. My mom is good at offering time. Does she have time to run me down to Salt Lake? Yes. Does she have time to stop at every neat-looking rock on a road-trip? Yep. Does she have time to volunteer for three hours five times a week while...

Good bye Nutcracker

Nutcracker is over and I'm sad! It was so much fun and I made great memories. I fell on the last night during the Maid dance which was a bummer. My tray flew off my hand when I fell even with the strap on the bottom. I just pretended it was on purpose and made some hand gestures like I gasped and then walked off. Luckily it was at the end of the dance. I still had Waltz and finale and I wasn't going to let one fall make me sad or not do my best the rest of the time. Strangely afterwords I felt really calm and didn't really care until after party scene. It was kind of funny and I didn't hurt myself. The weird thing was that right before the performance I felt like I was going to trip or fall....and I did. Hahaha, well I'm just the really clumsy maid now :)  Maddie is a pro photo bomber. I just wish she'd bombed one of the bad pictures instead!  My favors for the Waltz gals  Emma being me...haha she'd be a great Maid! :) Love her  Cutie...
