How I Spent My First Day of Spring Break:

...Mixed with some movies and food and friends. I am truly blessed.

Sorry my updates have been so short lately. So much going on. So much happiness. The only thing that would make me more happy: SUNSHINE AND WARMTH.
Winter just keeps trying to make a comeback.
I'm ready for summer. Ready for shorts and lying in the grass.

Dance = Love

Alright kiddies. Thanks for all of your comments and for the new followers and such.
I think I'm getting back into the groove of blogging, I've forgotten how much I love it! And I think it's all the better now because I am blogging about what I want to blog about instead of thinking:
"What do people want to read? What do they want to see?"
And then I remember what someone once said to me;
"Everything deserves a chance to be written."
So if anyone is following my blog, you can read about what I want to write about. And there's my thought process for thee bloggage.

I am so grateful that this past week is over with. It was hectic, exhausted, exhilarating, tiring
.....

OKAY. NOW I AM GOING TO FREAK OUT. MY COMPUTER JUST... LET'S JUST SAY THERE WAS A VERY LARGE ENTRY HERE THAT IS NOW GONE. SO. ANGRY. Hmph. Ugh.. And it didn't even save. DEVIL. It was huge and great and wonderful.

It was all about how I want fake black glasses for Christmas, as well as the new Tegan and Sara 'Sainthood' CD.
It was all about the Christmas season and what is going on for me this week.
It was all about my Christmas shopping and the amazing time I had at the Christmas dance.
It was all about me teaching a dance class [the pictures below].
It was all about how I'm pathetically addicted to lookbook and to organizing my room.
[I use me and I a lot...]

And unfortunately, I am just too frustrated to retype it all. So you get my watered down version. Bummer.

xoxo -Laur.

P.S. Below is my calling.

Lately

Lately, I have felt like this. No, not suicidal. [I realize she is on a railroad track, thank you.]
Tired;
Like I could fall asleep anywhere and everywhere.

I've had a lot of medication in my system lately; pain relievers:
My teeth have been murderously horrid to me.
Wisdom teeth coming in?
I sure hope not..
Although it has been rough, it still doesn't explain the tiredness.
Stress? --Very possible.

On Wednesday I went to a dance concert of Ririe Woodbury's Dance Company.
I ADORED it.
If you live in Utah and are looking for something thrilling and beautiful and artistic and inspiring,
Go to their concert: Configurations.

My favorite piece was their first piece, 'Bittersweet Chocolate'. It portrayed the ups and downs of love.
And literally changed my point of view on love.
[[Oh how I WISH they would have allowed photographs to be taken.]]

I used to be a cynic, well not anymore.
I was and am hesitant on posting about this because I honestly feel I can't do it justice.
You have to be there.
It made me cry, made me realize love is life and life is love.
You have to take the bad with the good and look at it for what it's worth.
Because at the end of the day, and at the end of your life, all you have is the people you love.

Go forward with faith that everything will be okay. I'm certainly going to try.
I think I'm starting to love love...
Who the freak am I?

I'm stuck on this roller coaster that I don't want to be on.. When's it gonna end?

I'm tired and listless and exhausted and just not up to par.
I dance 3, sometimes more, hours a day, plus work on top of that, plus school on top of that.
I really do love my life.

But sometimes don't you think it could just die down a little?
I mean take a break here and there?
Get off the roller coaster and get some cotton candy?

I'm too tired. I need to be doing homework, but I work 5 to Close tonight and I just don't feel up to it.
I'm so ready for a new chapter. I need a new beginning..

xo. Tired, Laur.

Whatever you call whatever I've been doing.

So yeah. My life is pretty much amaaazing. At least I choose to think so. I love being a Viking so much I could die. Dramatic? Yes. True? Basically. You only get to be in high school once. So I might as well live.it.up. Mhmm.

This week was Homecoming week. And what a blast. Whitewashing the V had to be rescheduled, but it'll be a blast when it comes. More on that when it actually happens.
I've started my internship at Bountiful High, where I help teach her beginning dance class.
SO. MUCH. FUN.
I then go back to Viewmont and help Bon teach her beginning dance class. So every other day, I'm dancing 3 hours a day. And the other days I am just doing one Advanced Dance class. Such a blast. Dancing is one of the greatest things in life.

I was also in the Homecoming Parade. Being an FBLA--Future Business Leader of America-- officer is just too awesome. We're going to a conference in October that should pretty much rock. So below are me and my awesome fellow Vikings, getting our float ready for the parade.
[I'm in the middle with the red sweatshirt.]
Thennnnn. Went to the homecoming game. I screamed EVERY. MINUTE. of the game.
Lost my voice. And unfortunately, we lost the game by one freaking touchdown.... So upset. But such a fun game. Layton High sucks. That's all there is to it.
Then. Stayed at the school till 2 am decorating for Homecoming. Fun experience I guess. And went back at 9 am to finish.. Bleh.
Hah. THEN. Get this, I got asked to Homecoming THE MORNING OF. It was the most hilarious and chill thing ever. I went with my friend Haus (I'll post pictures when he gets them to me). What a blast. That kid is hilarious. And drove the most beautiful Audi I've ever seen. Or been in.
Below are pictures of me getting ready.

I'm a dork :)

Sexy n sophisticated.

So yeah.. I totally used my prom dress from last year. Kinda lame, I know. But what am I supposed to do with less than 12 hours notice?!
Yep. Fun fun experience. I dance like a crazy person (: I love it. I can be a tad over the top... I still love it. Hah.

So I feel like this post was really cliche and average high schooler. But it's me. :) It's what I do, it's who I am. I am livin' up Senior year. Mm baby. It's too great.

Also been doing homework and reading and working and all that crap. Still looking for a new job. I've applied three or four different places.. I need money. But I also need to get out of my crappy job where I am too stressed for words and it is honestly the worst job ever.

Anyways, love to all. Happy Monday tomorrow! Hope y'all get through it and make your day an awesome day, as well as other people's days around you awesome, because of you.
xoxo

Day Eight. Short terms goals for this month and Why.

Well.. This month is practically over. Hm. Oh well.

Keep my room clean. -I've been doing so good at this for the past month, I just need to keep it up.
Start school off great. Do all my homework, etc. -It'll make everything much less stressful.
Keep stretching, get closer to my splits. -I'll need it for Adv. Dance..
Lose weight! -I need to lose several pounds.

Yeah (: That's about it. Really boring, I know. But. Alas. That's what I'm gonna try and do.

Love.
