here it is for all of those who have been waiting for it. and for a heads up, it will not be that exciting.
wicked was really great! i had such a good time going! it was an amazing performance. i did the same thing sydney did and thought that the show was over at the intermission. it's too bad the night ended with someone getting sick!
the next day, i left for salt lake. it was kind of nerve-racking having to get on a plane by myself especially considering the last time, and the only time i remember, flying was when i was ten didn't really help the situation. luckily i had nana to come to my aid and go with me to the gate.
efy was amazing. i made so many new friends. i wish i could have stayed there forever with them because they were some of the nicest people i have ever met. i thought it was funny that out of eighteen girls, only four of them weren't from gilbert and out of the ten boys, most of them were from lehi. i'm hoping i can see all of my friends again soon. but for now, i'm excited to go again next year!
on the way back it was kind of funny. a lot of our plane was filled with kids that were coming home from efy. i saw a few kids that i remember seeing at efy and some kids came from other sessions.
we had lots of fun at lake powell the week afterwards. of course i didn't like having to pack for another trip when i had just barely gotten home and was really tired because of all the sleep deprivation at efy (no joke, we didn't go to bed until midnight and i got up at three-thirty so i could take a shower everyday). i learned how to wake board on this trip and i am very proud of myself. i also had a lot of fun tubing. unfortunately for me, every time i went tubing i started bleeding because of a tubing trip at the beginning of the week. now i have a scar from tubing.
we didn't get to do our annual river rafting trip this year because of school but i am looking forward to next year's.
school...is school. nothing to exciting. i have the greatest a hour ever, we just get to run around taking pictures of things. i love my spanish teacher. she is so much fun. my math teachers okay. she doesn't give us a ton of homework but i can't get mine done in class because the girl that sits next to me is constantly nagging me. seminary is pretty good, i just don't like playing the piano in front of people. my science teacher is so confusing. when she tries to make sense she doesn't. i'm not sure she is capable of explaining stuff. i really like my english teacher this year. she gives us homework everyday but she is nice and does fun things. yoga...for any of you who think this is supposed to be relaxing...think again. it is mostly muscle training. as matter of fact, my mom told me about an article in reader's digest about the most important thing to stay healthy. the most important thing ended up being keeping lean body tissue and the most effective way of doing that was by yoga, not by weight lifting. it already feels as if i have been going to school for centuries. it's too bad they started school even earlier this year and are ending it even later.
