Whew. My last month has been absolutely insane...and wonderful. So many ends...
I went to my last Madison High School play as a student. Everyone was crying, but I was doing just fine...that is until my dear Don Lockwood(Trevor Smith) took me on a trip down memory lane across the stage. Kathy Selden couldn't quite hold it together at that point.
I had my very last ballroom dance concert with Idaho Ballroom Academy. Also a tough conclusion to many years of work...I just hope to have the opportunity to dance in college.
I went to my first and last Prom with Trevor. I had an absolutely wonderful time. I tried to add pictures...it didn't work out...
My last choir and orchestra concert were much less sentimental than expected. People mostly seemed happy to be moving on :)
I graduated from seminary! but more importantly...
I FINALLY graduated from high school! Hallelujah! I can't express how happy I am to be done. Words truly cannot describe.
Unfortunately, I had to go back to the high school only a few hours after the all-night grad party ended for a Vocal Spectrum rehearsal. Happily, my last Spectrum concert was fantastic.
I officially ended my high school career with a senior recital. And now, I can move on.
BYU, Here I come!!!

How to creatively (or stupidly) ask someone to a dance!
I recently asked a friend to the last girl's choice dance of the year, the Spring Fling. The asking involved some raisins and a whole lot of ridiculousness. In order to show you how awesomely I did it, I will be taking you through a step-by-step process with visual images.
Step 0: Buy raisins
Step 1: Soak raisins in water...preferably warm
For heating water...obviously...
Step 2: Dissect the raisin...remove insides...
Step 3: Write letters of name on paper, cut letters out, and cover in tape
Step 4: Insert paper into raisin (I know, it looks disgusting right?!? What the vomiting raisin!)
Step 5: Close the raisin so it's all innocent looking again (Ha, innocent raisin, impossible.)
Step 6: (Repeat until you have however many letters you need...) Let the humiliated grapes dry!
And while you're waiting, might as well take some fun pictures...
Eventually, we proceed to step 7: Assemble asking items, after extensive research.
On the bottom of the poster it says, "If you're hungry for my identity, have some raisins." The 12 raisins were in a bag at the bottom of the cup of raisins...
And then comes the oh-so-sneaky delivery!
Um...yeah.
SO, that's a debatably awesome way to ask someone to a dance! Yay me!
For those of you wondering, he did say yes :)
There will probably be more to come on the actual date...but I thought this was fun too... :P

Oops.
I've been sitting here, wanting to write something about my crazy month...or really something about anything... I just kept typing things, and then deleting them. And then I somehow accidentally published the post. "View Post!" Ok...On March 26, what does Hannah have to say? Apparently nothing.
But stay! I have much to say! Anything of importance? Probably not.
Well, I have begun my final trimester of high school. Government, orchestra, choir, English, and math. So far only one of my teachers hates me, so that's good...
I had several dance performances in the past month. And my team's swing routine took first in our division at the main competition of the year. So that makes us feel all cool.
I gave a talk in church that I was told was good...I don't like giving talks...But I talked about being an example to the world through the light of Christ we receive. See D&C 50:24, 84:46 and Alma 19:6...
I had my last spring choir concert...and participated in District Solo for the last time (Thank the heavens above!)
I went to my last General Young Women's Broadcast, or at least my last one as a young woman. The 13th Article of Faith was very focused on, with the first three talks focused on being honest and true, benevolent, and virtuous. Pres. Eyring talked a lot about hope and light, which was of great interest me, having just given my talk a couple weeks ago. Twas a great meeting.
I think that's probably enough rambling for now. I love anyone who's managed to endure all of this uninteresting post.

It's Coming.
That's right. The most terrible time of the year is coming quickly; the most dreaded day will be here soon.
Valentine's Day.
Oh yes. The day made just to torture me and other single females all over the world. Where the heck did this day come from anyway? Well, I've been doing some research, and to the best of my knowledge (and feel free to correct me on any of the following information), no one really evens knows who the original "St. Valentine" was...it seems there were a few Christian martyrs named Valentine, so Pope Gelasius I established St. Valentine's Day on February 14. Where did the torturous lovey-dovey, romantic part of it come from then? Well, it seems when my good friend Geoffrey Chaucer wrote Parlement of Foules he decided to throw in a little line about Valentine's Day being the day "when every bird cometh there to choose his mate," and thus came forth the idea that Valentine's Day was for lovers. Shakespeare grabbed the idea a few hundred years later and romanticized it, and then it just got commercialized and you have all these girls getting flowers and chocolates and cards...
Sigh.
If you want me during the next week, I'll be in my room with ice cream and a good romance novel. Or perhaps watching a chick flick. Or maybe burning my Chaucer bobblehead...

Happy New Year!
This year, I will not be doing new year resolutions. They appear to me to be a good way to look back and say, "Wow, I failed." I know that's a negative attitude, but I didn't really have any good ideas for resolutions anyway :)
However, there are several things I'm looking forward to in 2011!
-Participating in All-Northwest Choir in Bellevue, Washington
-Traveling with my choir and orchestra to Seattle, WA
-GRADUATING!!! This is a big one :)
-Going to England with my father
-Turning 18! Also pretty awesome :)
-Getting a job...I'm not really looking forward to this one, besides the paycheck, but it is part of my 2011 to-do list...
-Last but definitely not least, starting college! I'll Hopefully get accepted to BYU in the next couple months...if not, it's USU or BYU-I for me.
Happy new year to any and all readers I have :D I'll hopefully update more in 2011 (it's not a resolution...I don't promise anything)
Good luck in 2011!

Life...over
No. Seriously. I have nothing to do. I thought that once my play was over, it wouldn't be a big deal; I have finals to worry about, football to play over Thanksgiving break, and presents to plan for birthdays and Christmas. And what happens? No school...the entire week...due to the weather and the regularly scheduled Thanksgiving break. So, no finals till next week and it's Freezing outside. Which means I have spent all of today watching movies and browsing thinkgeek.com and Amazon. Oh, and quoting entire scenes from Singing in the Rain. Yes, I'm pathetic. Yes, I'm falling apart. Yes, I have nothing better to do right now than write an incoherent blog post.
