First Friday

FRIDAY! whooohooo! On Fridays, the dance department allows colorful leotards, so I pulled out my single non-black leo my mom got me (thanks mom!) And walked to class at 9 am. Modern was good, ballet was good, pointe was short, orientation to dance was good. Had lunch with my new friend Sierra then headed to a dance audition. I went for the experience and I'm so glad I did! It was for the fancy modern ensemble called Synergy. Modern is an interesting style. You have to find ways to add your personality and still keep the feel and movement of the choreography. Today was just so fun! I learned a lot from watching and I was next to Chloe, my dance friend from high school. Go numbers 18 and 19!! We find out Monday, which is a long time to wait, but I know I didn't so I'm just stressed for chloe who really wants to make it. She's a gorgeous dancer: she's got it in the bag! Going home tomorrow or tonight after the tailgate, soccer game and green out dance. I have a farewell on Sunday and I need to see Tizzy!  This has been an amazing week, but also like the longest week of my life. Lots of change, new faces, lots of dance,  my wisdom teeth emergency, still big cheeks, my roommate already basically falling in love with an RM she just met, events, ttying to eat once in a while, buying books, walking to campus, you get the idea.

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...

Celebrating, Italia style

My awesome mom took me to Settebello's tonight to celebrate my 4.0! It is an Italian pizza place in Station Park. It's the real deal. Italian pizza! It was first time going and we got two pizzas; all the toppings included roasted pine nuts, sausage, olives and artichoke hearts and mushrooms. YUM! I also had to get gelatto there. I've been craving it for so long and the ultra fresh raspberry and the hazelnut/chocolate flavors hit the spot. It was so cozy in there with delicious food and the pretty snow outside. Such a fun night talking to my mom about whatever and celebrating all the work that went into my first term of High School. Thanks mom!

A brief testimony

Excerpt from an email to a missionary friend:  I went to Young Women in Excellence last night and Ruby and Ari spoke. It was super neat because I was in charge of New Beginnings back in March and the themes of both nights were the same: Embark. Back in March I still didn't know what school I was going to, whether I'd serve a mission at 19, etc etc. And now, I kind of have embarked. I'm living on my own, I went to Europe for 6 weeks since then, I'm no longer in Young Womens, I'm at college and getting ready for a mission! It was a really good thing to think about, remember and analyze whether or not I'm letting Heavenly Father steer the course of my life. There are some stormy seas in life, but I am so thankful that I have a testimony that I know I can rely on and that Heavenly Father will work with and strengthen. Even if strengthening my testimony means more trials, I feel more peace and comfort than I ever have because I have come to see that God really...
