I rearranged my room and am LOVING having the Hong Kong flag in it. Seeing it every day makes my mission seem a little more real :)

I made my roommates dinner for the last supper Thursday during the week of Easter. This candied walnut, cranberry, spinach, pear, feta salad was a hit.
Sammy invited me into her room so we could watch an especially beautiful sunset. Her room, although closest to the noisy highway, has an awesome view.
Bowling! I literally hit ZERO pins, then on the last three rounds got STRIKES every. time. Crazy!
My Easter basket! I love my Swatch and am so excited to use my shock/water/freeze proof camera in Hong Kong!

MoTab singing The Messiah
My Swatch and pillow pet from the Easter Bunny ;)
Winco win.
While Ruby was in Amsterdam, I saw this little scene and thought it was like a teeny tiny taste of Holland, with the bike and tulips. I love campus!
Fav breakfast currently
I still can't believe I am going to know Cantonese in a few months
Mailing my old passport in for a new one. Getting a passport renewed before it expires, after you're 16 is kind of complicated. Hopefully I get my old one back! So many memories!!
Utah is nailing Spring right now and I hope it keeps up
Sammy made SO many cookies and brownies for her Trio BBQ and our visiting teaching people. Then no one came to the BBQ and our appointment with VT people got switched. So...we ate a lot of cookies, and gave away a lot. But still ate a lot.

Only a few more weeks of Orem apartment living!!!

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...
