You did what?!

Ok so this will be a quick post.. but a post none the less. So we have this big research paper due on Nov. 2 at least the first draft, and at the last minute my teacher changes the due date to the 4th. I had already finished mine( Because i was on the ball for once) so i asked if i could turn it in on monday still so she could start reading it. I had a bad feeling when i was turning it in but i felt like perhaps it was because all of my frustrations of that hellish paper where being turned in. Each day when she was handing papers back that she had finished i was wondering why i hadn't gotten mine back. I got to my dance history class yesterday morning, and she said she gave "The last of them out". I'm sorry? The last of them? No. so i walked up to her calmly.... i think... and said umm Angie? I didn't get mine back? She then looked at my like i was dumb and them i continued to explain my early submission of the paper. she then had some choice words in her frustration and told me to go print off another and bring it to her. SHE LOST MY PAPER!!!! Ugh. So i went to the other side of campus to print another, and i walk into her office right as she find my ORIGINAL copy in her mess of an office. She finished it last night and this is what i got written on it...... (keep in mind that mine was one of the good ones)

There was that much writing if not more on the back of every single paper. What the crap. A week and a half left. Praise. Im leaving for thanksgiving tomorrow afternoon!!! YAY for me!
See everyone this weekend!

Oh My School Year.


So.. I know that it has been forever and i also know that i say that every time i post... but none the less here i am. This semester has been by far the hardest of my college life. Dance history is going to be the death of me. And I'm all kinds of confused between what is ethical and unethical in my ethics and values class. BUT my ethics teacher is the coolest dude. He seriously comes to class in velcro sandals, multiple toe rings, He has long shoulder length gray hair that has ringlets in it.. natural i think.. acid washed jeans, legit ones, and over sized button up short sleeved shirts. He is amazing and i look forward to going to his class every other day. So far in CDE(Contemporary Dance Ensemble) We are learning dances up the ying yang. Out concert isn't till next March which sucks.. but at east we will have time to prepare! Maybe.. I miss not going home as much this year but at least it is going by fast. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving to get here. Reasons: Bryant is coming with me to meet the Kingham side. DUN DUn Dun... I get to see my family, and relaxation time before finals a few weeks later. I have been teaching at some studios in Lindon and Pleasant Grove and i am having an amazing time. I am almost finished with one of their dances! What else... oh yes.. our sad little puppy Renee finally passed away, she was my favorite. She was 17 1/2 years old! I can't believe she made it that long but we love her and miss her. Living at Arlington in Provo is really nice.. but i want to slash everyones tireswho don't know how to parallel park correctly an leave 3/4 of a car length in front and in back of them. I am slowly but surly getting used to these Utah winters. Even though i hate getting the ice off of the windows and crap.. it is better than the bitter cold, dry wind in Vegas. Well! Thats about it for now.. I cant wait for this semester to be over so that i can have my life back, and be done with dance history! Here are some cute pictures just for fun.. Love you all!

My Cute Little Niece. I miss her.
Bryant and I went to bear lake with his family over Memorial Day Weekend. So pretty!!

I'm Moving Out

As the great Billy Joel would say, I'm movin out! (In a wonderful tune) I am finally out of Parkway/Wolverine Crossing. It took for freaking ever. Good thing i had Bryant hauling ALL of my crap down to the car, and my mom and Aunt Susan scrubbing every nook and cranny. They are awesome. My friends Lexie and Whitney who i will be living with in the fall, and letting me store all of my crap in their house now until we get to move into out new one in two weeks. It seriously takes up a whole wall and then some. I didn't realize i had so much stuff. One thing i will never do though, is be last out of an apartment or house. It was horrible! I am sure when the other girls left they cleaned but there was still stuff in the cupboards and things on the carpet. So when everyone left, i got all my stuff out, and some of their stuff they left, and there was so much dirt and grossness. Oh well i really didn't have to scrub anything cause the two ladies were so efficient. AAAAnyway... I am moved out and all is well. Now if only i could teleport all of my stuff to the new house. I'll let you know how that goes.
I cant believe summer is almost over. I'm freakin out. But i am so glad i have been able to come home as much as i have this summer so i can spend time with my cute litte lady neice. AND i have conned Bryant into coming home with me a few times. Meeting the family one get together at a time. Still workin on the Kingham side. Maybe next time... er....

She thinks i'm crazy.

Best Family picture Ever. The next one was nice.. but not as good.
Everyone was making fun of my square toes. Made for dancing.

New Start and Espana!

So i have decided i am going to be better at blogging. Probably won't happen.. but i will try! I finished this last semester with not so awesome grades. BUT the directors say my sophomore spring and junior fall will be the hardest semesters so it's ok, right? Oh well. After the semester was out, i headed straight for Spain. For three weeks! It was so amazing. By the last two days i was definitely ready to head back to the Americas where i didn't have to wonder what was in the food. My poor friend April (a vegetarian) was miserable. They are OBSESSED with meat. Seriously. She would tell the waiter she didnt eat meat, so they would bring her a salad.....full of tuna. And they were so offended if you didnt eat everything! I couldnt do it for long. After the first night of legit spanish food, the toilet was my best friend. Ick. After that, i learned that my best bet was to stick with Burger King and Pizza Hut.
We ended up walking 10 miles AT LEAST every day. (May be an exaggeration) But my shins sure appreciated it when i got back. Supa strong. Smething else i am going to complain about, is my allergies! They were the worst they have every been ever ever in my life in Spain. I felt like my face weighed 82 pounds all day every day. But enough complaining.. The trip was absolutely amazing and im so glad i had a chance to go. We went to over 11 cities and got to perform and take classes in two conservatories. The dancers in the first one in Caceres (pernounced Cathares. Strange? Yes.) were really great at flamenco and not so strong in modern and ballet, and it was opposite at the one in Madrid. My director said the the conservatory we went to in Madrid was like the Juliard or Spain. So that was pretty neat. The buildings were soo beautiful and the little streets made me realize why NO ONE had a car bigger than a Ford Focus. Oh! And i was also the designated nail do-er. I probably did twenty sets of nails! Its ok though.. it gave me some practice. It was a once in a lifetime experiance and i am so thankful i got to go. I will never forget it. Thanks parents! :] Well here are some fun pictures of some crazy castles and the beautiful buildings we saw everyday. I love everyone and im glad to be back!!
