i miss evphil.

Don't get me wrong... I'm loving orchestra at BYU izzle. But ev was THE BEST. haha. And we were pretty legit too :]

From Disneyland, to playing frisbee during our concerts when we weren't playing, to cello parties (sectionals), to frolicking around Europe and squeezing 90 people in a small gazebo, to laughing uncontrollably in the middle of rehearsal with Brady, Ev was where it was at! Good, good times :]

So yah, needless to say, I've been spending a lot of time on this website lately...

Tchaik=LOVE.

yah, I know, it's good stuff.

music classes.

I signed up for music classes for spring and summer!!

This is my spring schedule:


I'M SOOO STOKED!!!

livin' in the HFAC, ahhh yeaahh.

home.

So, I went running today. Orem run to be exact. (5.77 miles) but anyway... the point is. I love being in a place where you know enough people that you can go running and have people yell your name out car windows, or honk and wave. It's sooo fun! I've never really thought about p-town as home, but it's growing on me. Which is good. haha. cuz I'm gonna be here for a while.

Love, Pono

10Ks and Pi Day!

This weekend was a fun one! Although I spent a lot of it writing my history paper, I gotta get out and do some fun things. Saturday morning I ran the Rex Lee 10K. Here's the thing... I was abismally outta shape come race morning. Like it was bad. But, I did it. My goal was simply to get under an hour. And I knew that would be a bit tough. But, with the help from my good friends Becs and Andrew, I was able to do it!! We got 57.13. Which is about a 9.14 mile. So I'm pretty happy with how we did :]

Also, Monday was pi day! So, like usual, I threw the party of the century that night, just like every year :] It was sooo fun! I had a good turn out! Like more than 50 and there was lots of pie and lots of fun. I luuuhh it.

So yah. fun fun! Here are some pics of the festivities!!

when you're having fun :]

I know we still have like a month ish left and then finals, but I've been feeling all sentimental, so what the heck. This year has been AMAZING. Like I can't even explain. It's been too much [to quote the double rainbow youtube video.] but I'm serious. I've been sooo blessed. My testimony has been strengthened sooo much. I have AMAZING people surrounding me all the time. The best roomies ever, the most amazing ward I could ask for, etc. Basically, this year has just been AMAZING. Like wow. Here are some highlights of the past year. Amazing things that I've accomplished and been able to check off my bucket list.

~I ran a half marathon. 13.1 miles :]

~I've started saying morning prayers [used to be really bad at this]

~I've gotten to room with my best friend, Elise Osorio :]

~I played in my first orchestra pit [Peter Pan at BYU]

~I'm an AUNTY!!

~I got into Women's Chorus and am Alto 2 subsection leader.

~I got an AMAZING job at the HLRC.

~I went to a pre premier showing of Harry Potter!

~I've gotten to go singing almost every Sunday at a nursing home :]

~I've gotten even MORE stoked to serve a mish in just over a year.

~I've made some AMAZING friends that I'm sure I will keep in touch with.

~I've decided to stay in P-Town for spring/summer.

~I'm officially a French minor :]

AND:

~I got into the cello program at BYU!!!

I love life. I will forever treasure this year and all the memories that I've had.

To LIFE :]

practice, practice, practice.

Ok, so it's been two weeks since I heard that I got into the cello program. And life is kray, but good. My life in a nutshell. Wake up at 5 and be at the HFAC to practice at 6am. Then go to work [most mornings] at 7:45. Then class from 10-4. Homework, maybe a little nap, maybe go home if I get the chance, then I go back to the HFAC and practice some more at night. No. but seriously, I've like opened and closed the HFAC for the last week ish. Ridiculous. And I know I should prob get friends. But I just wanna learn Lalo super fast! So yah. I learned the first two pages this last week. And its sooo fun! I luuuhh it. Can't wait to get the rest of it under my fingers.



And here's a picture of me being really productive... bahahah. jk. I think this was actually from before my audish.

Anyway, I love life. And cello.
