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.

There are so many things that make up a person. I know that "things" isn't the right word, but I can't think of something that adequately describes what a person even  would  be made of. Dreams, accomplishments, interests, regrets, mistakes, wishes, relationships, etc. I love ballet. I want to teach ballet, and I want to dance ballet. It's part of who I am. But my heart also yearns for the actress side of me. The little bite of real acting that I got at the age of ten in a production of Babes in Toyland in Salt Lake City. The countless drives to Ogden for rehearsals of Music Man when I was twelve. The ten-hour dress rehearsals of Jana's plays throughout high school. I miss that. My heart yearns for the flute. The peak of my playing my Senior year when I was practicing daily and could play Carnival of Venice like a pro. When I began to see what my practicing had accomplished and considered going on to play in a symphony. I miss French. Learning an entire other ...

Senior Flute Recital

*(I'm catching up)* November 21st Another rite of passage as my mom would say! Senior Flute recital! I had probably been practicing and preparing the repertoire for almost two years, not to mention the 8 years before that which allowed me to get to the level required to play the pieces. Cindy told me a Senior Recital wasn't required, but encouraged. It was good practice for auditions, stress and pressure management :) ;) and it was a good motivator to practice. I'm so glad I did it, even if it did seem overwhelming at times. I really started to love the flute during the months leading up to the recital. It was exciting to have something to work for and know that soon I could show what I'd been doing for so many years. I worked hard, but wasn't always the most dedicated student. Priorities often put flute behind school and ballet. Dance is my true passion and has been for so many years, but music has helped with dance and I'm thankful for the balance fl...

So my parents are off to Paris with Freestone and Tizzy. Lucky ducks! My grandparents are staying with us some of the time, but a lot of babysitting and homework is in-store for me this next week and a quarter so I was kinda stressed out. I spaced all my homework and remembered at 11 pm last night that I had a 100 question biology test, 2 Honors English assignments (That included reading) and 6 pages of math. So I woke up at 6, did it, planned to do the math during lunch and got ready in about 2.7 minutes. Luckily, I had tutorial so I went to get Algebra 2 help and finished that. Yay! And my science test turned out to be good, I could use notes and a textbook. I am so relieved right now and I think Heavenly Father helped a lot today. The Epic of Gilgamesh has nothin' on me today! :) PS Have fun in Paris guys! We'll miss you but not too much, I mean You're In Paris! :)
