Well, I think I have come to the conclusion (with the help of my dad) that I will be returning to BYU-Idaho to take one final math class. I tell you what, Math is going to be the death of me! Ever since 4th grade, I have struggled with math. It has never been my forte.
Maybe there is a reason why I have to retake this class AGAIN. Maybe there is a reason for me to be at BYU-Idaho another semester. Maybe I just need to solidify my math knowledge more. Whatever the reason, Heavenly Father has a plan for me and I should follow it.

Disney World and Disneyland
I will be going down to Florida on Thursday and I am so so so excited! I have been missing Disney World so much since I got back in January 2009. I had fun when I went to Disneyland in November, but after going to Disneyland and Disney World in the past year, there is no competition with which one I like better: DISNEY WORLD!!!
There is just so much more to do in Disney World. I mean, you've got four parks instead of two, plus two water parks and many resorts within Disney World with varying themes. I may be a little biased because I spent more time in WDW than in Disneyland, but I can honestly say that I prefer Disney World to Disneyland any day.
I know that Disneyland has elements to it that Disney World doesn't, but still, I think Disney World is better than Disneyland.
One thing that's a little different about Disney World and Disneyland is that the characters seem to have more free space to wander around in Disneyland. They aren't restricted to one area. For me, that can be a positive or a negative. If you want to find a specific character in Disneyland, it may be a little more difficult to find them than in Disney World. If you want to walk around with a character, Disneyland probably will give them more freedom.
Castle-wise, I like Cinderella's more than Sleeping Beauty's. Yeah, they are both pretty, but I don't know. There's just something about Cinderella's that I like more. I like the blue colors on it more than the pink on Sleeping Beauty's (which is weird, since pink is my favorite color).
Attractions-wise, I do like Pirates of the Caribbean more at Disneyland. It's the original and it just has the completeness to it that the one in WDW lacks. I think I like the queue better in Disneyland too. They are both great rides, but I do believe that the actual ride is better in Disneyland. As for feeling more 'at home,' though, I like Disney World's POTC more. I spent a lot of time around the POTC ride in WDW and it really does feel like home to me whenever I am there.
I know there are more things that I can compare about the two parks, but I'll write about them later.

Dancing
I have always loved to dance. When I was younger, like in high school, I tried out for the cheerleading squad because I wanted to learn a new dance. I sort of bombed it, but I really enjoyed learning the dance. It meant that I had to get up earlier than I would have liked on school days, but it was a good thing for me because I got to learn something new.
I didn't necessarily want to be a cheerleader (because let's face it- the cheer coach at WHS worked the cheerleaders really hard and it was also really expensive), I just wanted to learn a new dance.
At BYU-Idaho, I hadn't planned on trying out for the Collegiate World dance team partially because I didn't want to get up early for practices (they were on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-10am and I wasn't too crazy about getting up that early). My friend that I had TAed for the year before recruited me to tryouts and I ended up making it. I tell you what, there are very few things that I am willing to get up before 7am and dance is one of those things. It was totally worth it, though. I had great teammates and we became really close friends. We learned four awesome dances- Bollywood (my personal favorite), Russian, Scottish, and a clogging dance. I had a blast.
I like to go on youtube and find dances to songs from movies that I really enjoy. For instance, I am trying to learn the entire dance to Jai Ho, which is a song from the movie Slumdog Millionaire. I am also in the process of learning one of the dances from the DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) Camp Rock 2. The song is called "Can't Back Down" and the dance looks like it is so much fun, so I've been watching the music video repetitively to see if I can learn the dance before the movie comes out in June.
I started choreographing a Bollywood dance last year before I headed back to school, but I didn't have enough time to really do anything with it, so I stopped. But maybe while I'm home this summer, I can learn some more dance move and learn the entire dance to "Can't Back Down."
