sleep is for the weak?

Well someone somewhere said "sleep is for the weak." If this is true then I am weak but my body doesn't seem to agree. I can't fall asleep at night. This morning I wasn't really even tired till 2:30 and even then I made myself go to bed to get at least 4 of sleep before my 6:45 wake up call. I could barely sleep. Anyway the semester has started and it's good. I'm dancing, and doing science, exploring career options, studying the BoM, learning more ASL, and writing. (so it turns out when half your ward is BYU professors it's easy to snag a class with them) Last semester I had a class from my amazing home teacher and a class from a guy who's son is on the stake youth committee with me, a math class from a guy who used to teach at Timpview (local high school) who is also friends with my brother-in-law, and the TA for that class was good friends/related to some of my good friends, my Chem TA is from Idaho and knows my cousins. I feel like it's a small world is really one of the best statements when you find out people you know, know other people you know.
This semester I have 2 classes from people in my ward. BoM and Writing. I have 3 female teachers and 2 males teachers. 1 of which is korean and deaf. But yeah. This is going to be an interesting semester.

P.S. (did you know that stands for Post Script?) ballet is kicking my butt.

first day

Have you ever said to yourself "Today is the first day, it's an easy class,  we're going to go slow, this will be easy"? Well yesterday I kept saying that to myself about my ballet class.  Well that came back to me. oh man, we started with our feet parallel and did port de bras, yeah we have to hold in second fir like 5 minutes. I don't remember holding that position that long ever. maybe I'm a wuss because I haven't danced in like 18 months. But seriously. then she made us élevé (going up on the balls of your feet, like 3/4 point, or like wearing really high heels without the shoe) in parallel and hold that for like 2 minutes. I told her the first day I had trouble with my 3/4 pointe because I had foot surgery and she came up to me and made me like stick my chest so far out I felt like I was falling over, and I couldn't hold up on élevé  because I cant bend my foot. So I kept falling off it and I was clenching my fist cause it hurt so bad. I can't bend my foot that far yet, let alone with half my weight on it. But I felt better because I bought this smoking hot leotard (pictured here).

But the problem is, it isn't BYU approved right off the bat. We had some black mesh and this is a leotard that is cute, comfortable and made by my favorite leo company. So I got creative. (I'll try to get a better picture)

We had to add some to the back too. I know the front mesh slants. It was a little loose so my mom stitched one side by had (the right one) and when she did she sewed the material like 1/2 inch below where it was originally sewn. But she worked so hard and I didn't want to say anything. But my teacher said she liked my leotard which isn't plain and boring as you can see.

Oh I felt super smart too because I knew all the words the teacher was saying too. And She asked if anyone new what a sur le cou-de-pied battement serre which pretty much is just beating your foot from around your ankle to had the back of your heel touching your calf in a repetitive motion. I was the only one who knew what it was and I felt so smart.

anyway apparently I like tight petoralis major muscles which is why it felt like I was falling over. I asked my chiropractor.  So he showed me this nifty stretch. anyway I'm really sore.

On a different note now I have times in which I have to wake up by in order to keep my bedroom door. On mon/wed/fri I have to be to school by 7:45 so I have to get up at 6:45. On tues/thur(sat) I have a class at 9:30 but I have to be up by 8. Sundays I have to be up by 9 (church doesn't even start till 11, I argued for 9:30). So I got woken up this morning by my dad holding my foot, yeah standing at the end of my bed holding my foot I had surgery on. It scared me.

So needless to say "it is the first day it's going to be easy." Who was I kidding? myself apparently. So it was a good day. I got my car fixed too (my back up light was burned out), and I got to walk to get it. campus isn't that far from the automotive shop. it was sunny and fantastic.

while I was not sleeping

Well according to my dad I was supposed to be asleep at midnight. oops. So now I'm putting "stick it" on to my computer. that movie is great. The lead actress is in a Canadian show called "Rookie Blue" it's about cops. it's cool. I love crime shows so it's good. The first day of classes was great. I'm so drained so I don't know why I'm still awake.  One thing I heard last semester that I want to try to do this semester is do all the homework the weekend before the weeks it's due. hopefully that makes sense/since. My brain is dead. peace out.

Party Time!

Have I ever mentioned when all my family gets together it's a HUGE party? Well if not, I'm saying it now. Here are some of the things I did over break.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR FUN FUN FUN!!! Tomorrow I'm off to a Stake youth committee meeting breakfast, did I mention it's at 8 in the AM? Good thing I'm grounded from using my car until I clean Jamie's room, and the breakfast is through the fence an two houses on the right. It should be a nice wake up call. anyway 'm done with my finals (with 15 minutes till the stroke of midnight) and have a new found freedom. I even want to clean my room. Which is much needed. Anyway... I'm tired so... hasta la vista, Ciao, au revoir, ลาก่อน, さようなら, hopefully I didn't miss a language anyone in my family know. So BYE... for now

Tonight one of my friends is in Christmas Around the World  at BYU, then I'm going to hang with my friend Alexi and we're going to watch modern family.

I saw my shrink today and he said I'm in the normal range of a college student and we're both proud of that.
