Being Busy

During this month of December I have been busy a lot. One of the things that made me busy was doing Madrigal Dinner. If you aren't familiar with it, I will tell you. Basically, it is put on by the choir. So, it is a dinner and it takes place in the middle ages kind of period. Most of the people in choir including me were wenches and pagans and the rest (those who were in chamber choir) were either beggars or they were in the royal court. There is no doubt that it was fun it just took a lot of my time. My family even came one night so that was cool to serve them.

This month it seems like my teachers are in the mood of handing a lot of homework. For example, I have been taking a College Writing class because obviously I like English. But I wasn't expecting the way the class is run. I like the teacher but she is kind of boring. We had to do this research paper and I didn't want to do it, but the good thing was we got to choose the topic. The thing is I have been so used to being able to have time to do my homework, but this month it has been chaotic.

So far, I have been able to go to some Christmas parties. One was for family and another was friends. The family one was fun but towards the end we all wanted to go while my dad chatted away. Also, for the white elephant exchange we do every year I got this hot-pad-towel-angel ornament thing. You would think it would be nice except it looked like it was made in the'50s. Honestly, I am not exaggerating. Well, at least I have a present I can re gift. The other one was also fun. We went to friend's house and had dessert and visited. They also had a movie going on downstairs and then after we did a Christmas program.

I am really excited for Christmas and also for the break. I am also excited to being able to get a new phone. The phone I have now, I have to share with my sister. It is also old. You can't hear that good in it because my sister supposedly accidentally dropped in root bear. I am looking forward to having my own phone.

Next semester, I have a class on doing an internship. I actually already have one which I am pleased if. I am going to be a ball/water girl for the UVU Women's Basketball team. This job fits perfectly with me since I love basketball. I am hoping it will be a good experience for me. I am sure it will.

That's cool that you get to be a water girl with the basketball team. You didn't tell me that you were going to do that. When do you start?

July!!!

It has been a very long time since I posted I decided I would update it with things going on in my life. A couple of weeks ago my family and I were able to do the Salt Lake Connect Pass. It gets you into 14 different attractions to an amazingly low price. There are different options varying from one day passes all the way to yearly passes. Out of everything we did the favorites of mine were the Zoo, the Lionhouse, and the Clark Planetarium. First off, who doesn't like the zoo! All right, there are probably a few who hate walking around in the 90 degree weather looking at animals. But I absolutely love it. I look forward going to the zoo at least once a year. I'll admit my favorite animal is one that people would think weird but I love crocodiles nonetheless. The only disappointing thing about seeing the crocodiles are that they are always sleeping. The rest of the zoo was a lot of fun. Of course I liked the Lionhouse for the food. What else do you go there for? The Cla

Going Skydiving

On April 19, 2014 I had the chance to go skydiving with my family. It was such an amazing experience and I will definitely do it again. Someone was nice enough to pay for my sister and I to go. I am so blessed to have some amazing people in my life. She sure do care and I am so grateful for their examples. We went to Urda just past Tooele to do it. It was very funny because before we went to get all suited up to go we watched this 15 minute video on what to do when you were going to jump out of the airplane. The guy had the longest beard I had ever seen. I was wondering if it was actually fake lol. He gave us different symbols such as chicken wing and banana. It was very interesting for sure. Then we all got suited up and each of us had a photographer as and a video man who filmed us and took pictures. I am so glad we signed up for that because those memories are going to last forever. Bri and I had also never been in an airplane before so that was pretty fun on top of being able to

You'll Never Walk Alone

Image
There's been many times in my life where I have felt empty and lost. There's a reason by why I titled this post about not walking alone. You'll Never Walk Alone is a beautiful song. Here are the lyrics which love:    When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of the storm There's a golden sky And the sweet, silver song of a lark Walk on, through the wind, Walk on, through the rain Though your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart, And you'll never walk alone, You'll never walk alone Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart, And you'll never walk alone, You'll never walk alone. With Christ we are never alone. He can empathize with us when we go through hard things because he suffered for us. In a world with billions of people, you would think we would never feel alone because of our family and friends we have supporting us with their love. There&#
