A Day in the Life

....of Golda Cristine Dopp
After waking up at about 7:30 or 8:00, reading The Book of Mormon and having breakfast (and getting ready) I walk to school. It takes 10 minutes to get from my apartment to the LA building. I usually take a picture of the mountains because they are beautiful. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such beauty and going to school amongst the majestic mountains.




Sometimes after Modern and Pointe and Technique and Orientation to Dance (from 9:30-1:00 or 2:15) Sierra and I go to the library for some soup, or if we're feeling splurgy, a cinnamon role

Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my long days-school until 5 pm. Wednesday I usually volunteer at Timpanogos Elementary and I LOVE it! I go to the after school program that focuses on math and science, and the kids are all kindergarten to second grade. Today one of the little boys asked me if I was married. ha! They are seriously hilarious
When I get back to the apartment I eat dinner, do homework and maybe relax by reading blogs, planning out my life or watching Friends. I usually have a grilled cheese or cereal for dinner. If I'm lucky, Gentry will suggest going to get ice cream and we'll go to In N Out where I will indulge in a cheeseburger (Jennie-I don't even split it with her!)
I have Biology from 7-8:15 on Tues and Thurs, which isn't my favorite class or subject. We'll leave it at that.
Then I finish up homework, write a To Do list, talk to my roommates until late into the night
In my old room, I always decorated the dresser and my desk and nightstands in accordance to the holiday or my mood. I still do it, but on a minimalist scale :)




Randomly starting a Pinterest project at 11 pm is not a rare occurrence either

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...
