I am officially 20

Alright so here goes another weekly blog. Look at this, so far I am doing good at keeping this updated...then again this is only the 2nd week.

First of all I know you are all so jealous because I got to go to the BYU SHUTOUTS! It was amazing. Everyone was going crazy and it was awesome to see us do that well! Ucla vs. Byu 59-0 and Wyoming vs. Byu 44-0.

Secondly this last week in school I passed my Anatomy quiz! I learned all the bones in the head, mandible (jaw), and rib cage, a total of about 90-100 bones WOOHOO! Now I am on to memorizing the rest of the bones in the body. This week it is around 120 terms so wish me luck. Also this week I have 2 test one in physiology and one in Human Development; I will let you know how that goes...hopefully I will pass. And I start work on cadavers this week in lab! So that should definately be exciting, the joys of the human body.

Thirdly I turned 20. I have surpassed the realms of a teenager and entered the age of an adult. I know I was technically an adult at 18 but let's be honest I was definately not an adult haha. I went to tucanos on friday with the fam and ate delicious food including Kristin's favorite, their mashed potatoes. Then Saturday was the "Day of Kelli" Yes that is right I dedicated a whole day to me. I went to the Wyoming BYU football game, went laser tagging, and watched the movie HotRod at my apartment with all my friends. Basically a fantastic day! And today I actually turned 20 and got to go home and have birthday cake and a yummy home cooked meal. All in all a GREAT week!

Here are some pictures of my recent escapades...

Camille, Haley, and I about to go disco skating!
Me and Julie ( one of my roommates) before the UCLA game. She is 6 feet tall!
Me and Ashlee on my birthday when she came to give me my present. My hair looks outrageously blonde in this picture. I promise I haven't dyed it.

OH MY!

Dirk said something to me about writing in my blog so I am going to try and keep it up this year so that all of you can read about my super exciting life (just kidding) But really I will try to keep it updated this year, just keep reminding me.

So this last week Mom and I flew to LA to try out for Tokyo Disney. I know that you called me to ask about it and I tried calling you back but you both never answered so..... here goes. I tried out in a big studio with about 150 other dancers there. I was a little intimidated at first but decided that I was just going to have fun! So that's what I did.

I was number 72, and after I got my number we all went into a studio room and watched a video with clips of the shows that they put on for Tokyo Disney to get a feel of what they expected. They then told us that they were looking for people with the right look? The right LOOK? What does that mean right? Anyways then we learned a ballet combination and practiced and they made cuts after we performed it in groups of 4. There were only 20 people that they kept...and 2 people that I watched and thought were AMAZING didn't even make it. They once again told us that they were looking for people that had the right "look" for what they were casting for. I guess I didn't look the part because I was cut.

I prayed a lot before going in and auditioning. I prayed that if it was good and right that I would be able to have this opportunity to dance in Tokyo. Since I didn't get picked I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Although it still is a little sad to not get picked. But I have thought of all the positives that will happen to me by staying. I get to keep going to school, I get to be with my friends and family, and I get to go on the family vacation next summer. (If you think of anymore positive things let me know!) So I am ok. Do not worry. It just made me realize that I love dancing! and I have decided I need to take classes while I am here at BYU so that I will be able to have that in my life still. So there you have it.

Also this week I had my first Anatomy lab.... which I think is going to be really cool even though I have to memorize 100 terms a week. It is really interesting to me so hopefully that will help out. I am currently memorizing the bones in the skull, jaw, and sternum/ribcage area...SUPER FUN! And we start working on cadavers in 2 weeks!

Also tomorrow will be a jam packed day of fun! First BYU vs. UCLA in football, then I am going on a hot date (mom was really excited for me haha), he is 6'1'', with red hair, dances on the ballroom team, and is really fun to hang out with, so hopefully the date will be fun. After that me and a bunch of my friends are going disco skating! ( I will post pictures ) Well so far that is my life.
Remind me to keep this updated! I love you all so so much!
