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 temporary photos as well and decorate it with twinkle lights. The couch is beyond helping. I think it would just be a travesty to put cute pillows on such an ugly couch. So maybe a trip to IKEA, fresh flowers and some framed artwork is all we need. Although, we're poor college students so that might take all semester. But hey, music and laughter is free! And as cheesy as that all sounds, it's all we need :)

I have some auditions coming up, so wish me luck on those. I think I might as well audition for anything and everything because it's such good experience and learning opportunity!
Also, new life plan. Go to Fall Semester 2016, graduate with an Associates in Dance, then go on a mission in the spring, come back, go to BYU and be on their Folk Dance Team. Let's see how long that plan lasts :)

Also- I need ideas for easy and cheap recipes. A girl can only eat so much oatmeal, yogurt and pizza. Merci et au revoir!

  1. I love all your plans, and I love how you are continually reworking them as you evolve. Sounds great! Cheap food: toast and butter. I lived on it until I was 17, then had that year of gluttony in the dorms, then lived on rice and bacon for the next 3 years. Yummy!

  2. Love your posts and your plans. It all sounds exciting. Here's a fast and easy recipe for you (and healthy / cheapish). Canned chicken... I know, it sounds disgusting, but it's actually okay. There are big and small cans. You add the rest of the ingredients based upon the amount of chicken. Sliced celery (super cheap), and plain or vanilla greek yogurt. Mix it all up and you have an easy chicken salad you can eat plain, on lettuce leaves, or on a roll. If you want to get tricky, you can add slivered almonds, craisins, or halved grapes - basically whatever you like.

    Another one is fish tacos. Buy a bag of frozen tilapia. That way you only have to cook what you want to use. Buy a package of small corn tortillas, a bag of shredded cabbage, an individualized size of plain greek yogurt (substitute for sour cream), and a bottle of lime juice. The tortillas and shredded cabbage last a while in the fridge. Broil the fish or microwave it, shred it on the tortillas, and add the cabbage, lime juice and yogurt. So good, low calorie, and pretty cheap.

    Love ya. Keep the updates coming.

Good News

Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...

Why I Am Choosing To Serve A Mission

Although this is very difficult to articulate, dare I even say impossible, I am going to try! I am choosing to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I will serve for eighteen months. I do not choose where I spend those eighteen months, or even in what language I will speak during that time. I will take a break from school, from my dancing and leave my family. It is a sacrifice. It is a sacrifice I am willing to make because I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ lived and died for me so that I can repent, learn to love fully, and become like him. To become better and to learn during my lifetime. I know that he died for every one . I know that he knows each of us, individually, and wants us to be happy. Heavenly Father also loves and knows each of us. He has guided and directed me numerous times, in ways that cannot be explained without fully recognizing His divine hand. The relationships, experiences, trials, and blessings I ...

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...
