...it's been a LONG while since I've written on here. I can't believe it's April already. There's only a week and a half of classes left, and then 2 reading days and then finals. This has been the fastest winter semester I've ever had, which isn't a bad thing at all. I honestly think it's because of all of my ballroom classes, they've kept me going all semester long :) It's been really nice, needless to say.
So a lot has happened since I last wrote on here. I quit/got fired from my custodial job, which has been super sweet. It's been nice not having to leave my apartment by 4 AM haha. I had DanceSport in February, and I did pretty well this semester. I got to the quarter finals in Rumba and Waltz (competing a level up) and got to the finals for Quickstep and Triple Swing :) And then I got a 92 on my Medals Exam for Latin, and a 95 for Triple Swing and Standard, which is basically like getting a 100, so I was pretty proud of myself. I've made ballroom kind of like my minor; I'm not actually doing the ballroom dance minor, but I have to have 8-9 credit hours of classes outside of history and the humanities for my major, so I just decided to make them ballroom classes. So I'll have three ballroom classes a semester for the rest of college, and I'm way excited about that idea :) I'll actually be taking a class where I'll learn how to teach social dance in the fall, and hopefully I'll get to be a TA for a 180 or 280 class in the winter! I'm really hoping that works out, and I'm REALLY hoping I'll be able to get onto one of the teams next year. I think I'll just have to practice stuff over the summer and make sure I get into pretty good shape so I'm ready to go when I come back to school in August.
So yesterday during Conference my grandma passed away. She was 96 years old and had been dying for years, basically. We're glad she's no longer in pain and that she can once again be with my grandpa. We know she's a lot happier where she is now. I got permission to miss class from my teachers, so I'll get to go to the funeral on Saturday, which will be kind of nice, I'll get to see my parents and my two younger brothers, and I'll get to be in Arizona, which is MUCH warmer than Utah is right now, I'm sure. We'll probably get to see some old family friends, too, which should be fun.
Anyway, that's about all for now. I think I've pretty much summed the last couple of months up pretty well. Basically, I'll finish out the semester, and then I'll fly out to Holland for the summer. I wasn't sure if I would go there right away or if I would go to California and work for a couple of months, but then I realized that Christian graduates next month and he comes to the States right after to save up for his mission at the end of the year, so if I waited our family wouldn't be all together at all this summer, so I decided we should all have one last summer together before he leaves on his mission :) On that final note, ta-ta for now!
