The velocity of my life...

is absolutely ridiculous.

Within the last 6 months I have:

• been engaged to be engaged
• had the most nasty breakup I hope I'll ever live through
  
• sent in mission papers
• had mission papers sent back
• failed classes
• failed a dance team audition

and finally

• decided to transfer to BYU-I to start over.

It has been nice to finally have a plan that seems like it is going to work out.

Until last week.

I was denied admission to BYU-I.

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

But things are beginning to look up again. I went to Idaho this weekend and got to talk with the guy who got me started on the whole BYU-I thing: Gary Larsen. He assured me that he wanted me there, and that he had friends in high places and would work this week to get me accepted.

All I have to say is thank goodness for Gary.

So now I'm back to planning the next 3-4 years of my BYU-I education and activities. Here is the crazy list so far (this just an ideas list... it's all tentative):

Schooling:

• I will be working to get my BA in dance
• with mini-minors (BYU-I calls them clusters) in Exercise Science and Sports Medicine
• I'm also looking to see if I can get my seminary teaching certificate
  

Teaching:

• Beginning World Dance at BYU-I (170)
• Beginning Clogging at BYU-I (171)
• Irish at BYU-I
• Irish at Gary's studio
• Flamenco at Gary's studio
• Clogging at Mom's studio
• Irish at Mom's studio
• Dance/ movement therapy classes at Journey's center for developmentally disabled
  

Choreography- different dances and styles I have ideas for and would like to do:

• clogging
• irish (hard shoe and soft)
• israeli
• turkish
• spanish flamenco
• hungarian gypsy
• step dancing mix- irish, english, welsh, canadian...
• russian
  
• ukranian
• and more.....
