Dance life away!

Dear Readers,

Wow, talk about a long weekend. It wasn't horrible, but it was sure long. Saturday and Sunday were both about 16 hour days full of vigorous activity. I would like to give a shout out of my utmost gratitude to Katie for making our CD in our Disney show. We were working on it for about 4 hours and finally we got it all done.

Going to the M.A.C. took up my Saturday night, after my sister's birthday party. She's 24 now, isn't that weird? :) Tee-hee. I can just imagine the scowl she'll give me when she sees this post. We went out to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, which isn't all that great if you ask me. Maybe it was just my dumpy mood that made it seems that way.

At the M.A.C., I discovered how tiring it is to dance for hours on end. There were several dances where I didn't even know what I was doing, just twirling my partner around. I say my partner because they weren't always girls. Just for the record, though. I did NOT ask any of the guys to dance with me. They volunteered. :) I may have made a mistake while I was there, though. I took with me a letter written by a friend of mine. There was this other friend there dancing with us and she doesn't approve of some of my opinions of late. I took this letter in an attempt to show her that her theory was based on ill-founded facts. It was a big leap trying to let her understand, but to no avail. My sincere hope is that sharing that letter didn't do more harm than good and that the author does not think me petty or rash for sharing it.

Sunday was a good day during which we learned about Noah's Ark. Did you know it was 450 ft. in length? That's almost two whole football fields! I mean, the Titanic was 1000 ft. long, but look what happened to it...

While most people most likely turned the superbowl on after church, I feel quite proud to say I went to my Mission Preparation class being held in our stake. It was really nice to go, too. We had Judy and Rich Cannon, former president of the MTC down in Johannesberg, South Africa. They gave us many good insights into preparing for our personal missions in the future.

Of course, my Dad had turned on the superbowl while I was gone. Upon arriving home, I got sucked in and watched the second half. I really shouldn't have, but I did. There were so many other things I could have done with those 2-3 hours, but I sat on my rear watching football. How grand.

I did manage to finish the worst book I've ever had the displeasure of reading, though. "The Catcher in the Rye", no disrespect to J.D. Salinger, is a terribly-written book. It's all about a teenage boy who seems to have no ambition in life, whatsoever. His favorite phrases(besides the 5 or 6 sayings that swear every other word) include: "No kidding", "That kills me" and adding "...and all" to the end of every sentence. The whole story takes place over the time period of about 4 days. During this time, the main character gets drunk twice, gets in two fights(both of which he gets destroyed), hits on more than 4 women(all of which leave frustrated or angry) and smokes three packs of cigarettes. That's just the tip of the iceberg. He's an idiot and makes terrible decisions without even giving them a second thought.

Yep. What a long weekend it was. Especially the night times. I haven't been able to sleep well. Stress, most likely. Suggestions on how to get better sleep would be very much appreciated. Go out and have fund this week!

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
