Skimming the weeks...


This is gonna be a long post since I haven't done any in Ages! The Last Couple weeks have been crazy!! A group of friends and I went to High School Musical 3 and the School's semi-formal dance and it was a great night which finished with chocolate fondue and Mormon games like the Ant and the Aardvark and the Tie game. On Halloween a couple friends and I went to Utah for an audition to be Disney characters at Disney World. The audition involved some pantomiming to see how well we could tell a story without talking; making it larger than life for the little kids (and the adults I guess). We also got to learn a dance and then we would perform in groups of five for the casting director. They also measured our height and looked at our faces to see if we could be princesses, but none of us will know if there's a possibility for that until we get down there. There were about 120 mostly girls with a few guys thrown in there. The trick with Disney characters is you have to either be really tall or really short. I don't think I've EVER found myself trying to shrink when they took my height before. When we found out we had to be there on Friday morning and would have nothing else to do the rest of the weekend we decided just to stay and play until Saturday night. Mandi aunt let us stay with her and fed us a lot too, so Saturday morning we raked up her leaves. Then we went and saw forever strong and to end the day we hiked Y Mountain. Having done EFY done there I saw it a lot but never had a chance to climb. It was listed as an "Easy" hike online but it wasn't so easy, switchbacks and steepness the Whole way! But it was worth it just to say you made it to the Y and sit on the white concrete covered rocks. Plus now if anyone asks how the Y and white, I know.
So it's official, I'm excited for classes to be over. I'm trying to tell myself not to wish my time away and I know as soon as this semester is over I'll be sad and miss everything about it (well...maybe not Everything). But I'm really looking forward to Christmas break and not having to worry about history research and how far behind I am on case briefs. I'm also looking forward to the family all being together for a while. With Ryan and Cec in Utah, Kalia in LA, and Brett getting ready to go on a mission soon I am excited for a traditional Christmas season! And Christmas break will probably be the next time I'm able to post something so until then...
