Aspen, Mckensie, & Marissa! I LOVE these girls!!
We stayed up at Snow College in some apartments by the campus. The first day, we got there and changed into our swimsuits and went and did "Snow Follies". It was a HUGE water fight and water games! So much fun! After Snow Follies, we had to change again and go to some classes.My AWESOME shoes!! Don't they look grand!? Ü
Tuesday, the second day, we had classes ALL day. It was quite tiring!! But they were good classes! And awesome people who spoke! Ü Tuesday night we had a talent show! Hunter and I were supposed to sing a duet, "Lucky" by Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat, but Hunter lost his voice during the Snow Follies so we weren't going to do anything. But 20 minutes before the talent show ended I decided to sing a solo. I sang "The Call" by Regina Spektor. It went alright...I won't go into details. And after the talent show, we had a dance! Well..we mainly just learned some dances for the 'real' dance on Thursday. ÜMarissa, Me, & Aspen!

After the ropes course, we went to the rec center down the street and played there. I played indoor soccer, and then went swimming!
Thursday, another day of classes. BUT it was the last of the classes! We had classes till around 3. Then we took a test on all the stuff we learned from all the classes. The test was to determine who got a scholarship or not. Each co-op had a different number of scholarships they give out. My co-op, Dixie Escalante, gave out 8 scholarships. (6 - $2,000 scholarships, 1 - $1,000 & Washington DC trip scholarship, and 1 - $2,500 memorial scholarship) After the test, we then got into our co-ops to choose a youth director for next year. A lot of people ran, including me. Then we put our votes in. (We wouldn't find out who was voted youth director until the banquet that night).
After the test, we had 3 hours just to hang out and PLAY! Ü Oh, and to get ready for the banquet too. After our time was up, we went and took group pictures, and then went to our banquet. We ate dinner, and then the scholarships were awarded! I got a $2,000 scholarship!!! Ü After all the scholarships were given, they then introduced to new youth directors. I got voted to be the youth director next year for Dixie Escalante!!!!! Ü I was so so happy and excited!!! And my friend, Aspen, got voted to be a youth director too!! Yay!
After all the awarding and presenting, we had a speaker, and after, we had our 'Black Out' dance! We all decked out in glow in the dark sticks and everything! Ü It was so much fun!
Then I got a 'lovely' surprise. All the new youth directors were called down under the pavilion Thursday night, and we were told that we had to stay up ALL night so as to make sure no one would sneak out of their apartments. UGH!!! Hardest thing ever for me! We had to stay outside too! It was sooo cold!!!
I had to keep taking pictures so I wouldn't fall asleep! Although, I still fell asleep every once in a while for about 20 or so minutes at a time.
Rhett, Mitch, & Cole - they stayed up for a little bit with us too haha Ü
Bored..and trying not to fall asleep!
I finally gave up at 5:45am and went inside to my bed. But hey! I made it till it was starting to get light outside, so I think it counts! ;)
Friday, we said goodbye to all the awesome friends we made. I'm seriously going to miss everyone so much!!! Haha, I made plans to go and play with my friends that I made that live up by Fillmore. It'll be fun. Ü They are AWESOME!!
Me & Marissa! Ü Love her! She's WONDERFUL!
Aspen & Me! She's AMAZING Ü
Mckensie, Marissa, and Me! Mckensie & Marissa are flippin' awesome!
On the way home, one of our bus tires BLEW UP!!!!! It was crazy!!!

We all had to just 'chill' and play while we waited for the bus to be fixed!
