So on riday night I went to the Ballet Theatre in Concert that was playing on campus because I am taking a class that requires I go to two dance concerts during the semester. It was West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet with a fifteen intermission in between the shows. West Side Story was less ballet and more jazz. The girls moved like ballet but there was a lot of partnering and the comstuming was more like a play than ballet. It was really cool. Romeo and Juliet, which I didn't like as much was much more traditional with the chorus dancers and more of the solo dancing and the girls all on pointe. I didn't like it as much, but it was a good experience because now I can say that I have seen real ballet.
Last night and today was stake conference and we had the blessing of having Elder Ballard come and talk to us. It was so nice! This morningafter the meeting was over, Elder Ballard stood and told us all to hold out our right hand and he did the same. Then he told us to shake our hands in the air then go home and write in our journals "I shook hands with Elder Ballard of the twelve and Elder Stone of the Seventy." It was funny. He seems like not only an inspired man, but a very, very nice and friendly man.
And I have said goodbye to the unwooable boy. I decided that I didn't want to waste my time wanting someone that didn't want me. What? Did you think that I went to the ballet alone?
