7 days
Well it's only 7 days if I don't count today or the day I get home. I just finished up the last of my constitutional law quizes for the semester. only 2 days of class left and summer semester is finally OVER. I never thought I could be this happy to go back to OS. I miss my friends a lot more than I ever thought I could, but i've just been presented with another chance to see them. so much for my brilliant plan to not come home for a year and a half. My brother has decided to get married and I am coming home for about 3 days during christmas, so I can go to his reception in town. Speaking of my brother, I think I finally realized why my brother is 4 1/2 years older than me but will graduate college only a semester before me (keep in mind he was on a church mission for 2 years during htat time). He's here to keep me sane. After my frustration last week with BYU and UT in general, we talked for acouple hours about how a lot of people here don't know any better, but that's their problem and I can only help show them that a world exists outside of UT and ID. It's up to them to actually try to understand it and experience it. Well i'm tired and don't really have the mental capacity to type much mor right now. I just want everyone to know that your family can be shit sometimes but they'll come through for you when you really need them (for support or a concrete alibi when one of your professors just happens to walk out in front of a speeding car.) good night world Current Mood:  exhaustedCurrent Music: the hum of the air conditioner | | Friday, August 1st, 2003 | | 2:23 pm |
tired of it all
Updated @ 3:49 DISCLAIMER: Not all people at BYU, in Provo, or members of the church are like those that I describe below for those that don't want to read my rant stop now b/c here it goes. I am so tired of this damn school and all of its damn Molly Mormon and Peter Priesthood Republican racist homophobes that don't know anything more than what has been shoved down their throats by their parents, friends, church leaders, etc. They've been following along for so long that they can't think for themselves, so when they have kids the wretched cycle will begin anew. People are different. Deal with it or shut your damn mouth and get the hell away from me. I don't agree with your ideas on the world and never will if it means being anything like you. And stop getting pissed at me b/c I don't share your little cookie cutter opinions on how I should direct my life. I want a career before I have babies. Is that so hard to understand? I want to watch a Rated R movie without you looking down at me from your lofty perch of perfection. I didn't come to BYU to get married or b/c it has always been my dream to live in UT. I wanted an excellent education and to get the hell out of MS for a while. You're not going to make me feel guilty and I'm not going to hide who I am. Would you rather me go around telling lies about who I really am and then blow up one day b/c someone cuts me off while I'm driving? If not keep your opinions to yourself and I'll keep mine. I don't try to change you, so why do you feel the need to change me? Don't get me wrong I love my religion and know its teachings are true, but some of the idiots that belong to it need a taste of life outside of UT before they spout off their opinions of things they know nothing about. To anyone that's offended. deal with it! I warned you in the beginning. So here's a big screw you to all of BYU!!!

the ramblings of sleep deprived girl
ok. so it's 5:05 AM right now and I figured I spend enough time on homework when I stay up all night so why not do something a little more interesting and post my journal. somthing I think about doing all of the time but never seem to get around to. Classes this term are good. definitely better than spring or even winter terms. No chemistry, no physics. all in all good stuff. I'm taking constitutional law and philosophy. unfortunately the reading for them have led to the obligatory sleepless nights for the past 3 weeks and there doesn't seem to be any indication of an end. Saturday night was the first time in about a month and a half that I fell asleep on one day and woke up the following. I actually got 10 hours of sleep in a row. Despite the growing lack of sleep and fear that one day i will start hallucinating, pass out, etc., i really like my con law class. a love of con law is basically the one good thing I got out of AP gov (well except for that free trip to DC) other than school, life is decent. my roommates are crazy molly mormons and there are thousands of hormone driven teenagers running around campus invading my study areas b/c of summer camps. my brother is getting married. total weirdness, but at least now my parents will get off mine and my sister's backs about dating, marriage, children and all of that crap. i can't wait to go home in a month. i never thought iwould think that but nevertheless the thought crosses my mind on a daily basis now. all i have to worry about in ms is whether or not i will have time to visit the colleges of my friends without pissing my parents off too much by skipping out on family time. which reminds me, i need directions to people's apartments at msu and ole miss. you usa people can just come home for a weekend. I was just thinking about it and I really think that i should go to jazzland when i go home. anybody up for it? it'll be mid to late august, I definitely think you people that will have already started school about a week before will really need a break. ok that's enough for now. i wasted 20 minutes. spellcheck? ahh who cares. back to the court cases.

Proof that a completely empty apartment is a bad thing.
I've been meaning to do this for over a month, but oh well, I'm doing it now. All of my roommates are gone tonight and I couldn't bring myself to hang out with my brother and his roommates and watch him make out with his girlfriend. That's just something you should never have to witness your siblings do. Life's been crazy recently. School's killer with finals this week, and I am starting to wish that I was going home this summer. I want to stay here and take a few classes, but I really want to see my friends. When I made the decision to stay in UT for spring and summer terms, I didn't think about the fact that I really won't get to see my friends for a year and a half. I rarely, if ever, get homesick, but right now I miss everybody in MS. Everyone there gets to see each other at school, on the weekends, or during summer vacation, but here I am a few thousand miles away and I'm missing out on everything important in their lives. I miss talking about anything and everything with my best friend and hanging out with my fellow Mr. Joe haters. I want to be there to find out about the latest gossip even if I know it's all crap. I feel isolated from everybody there. I may never consider high school the best years of my life, but I do miss the friends I made during that time. Tonight I heard from someone that I never expected to hear from again. Not that we parted on bad terms, but we just weren't really friends anymore when he left OS. It has made me think about the impact I have on people (no matter how small). I remember being in elementary school and teachers always encouraging us to do random acts of kindness everyday. I've been thinking about this a lot recently and have tried to make this a habit. I thought about the things that make me smile. Things like someone waiting an extra second to hold the door open for me when I'm entering/leaving a building or having some stranger smile at me for no reason at all or having the person in front of me in the line at the testing center say good luck. Although these things seem rather insignificant, it can make a real difference just know that someone cares enough to take a moment out of their life to be kind to a stranger. I don't know why I have been thinking so much tonight but I think I've done enough for one night. Sorry for my rambling. Short update on the rest of my like. I had a Mardi Gras Party over a month ago and it was a blast. I introduced all of these UT people to the music, beads, jambalaya, gumbo, and king cake (all made from scratch I might add). I got a job for the fall as an American Heritage TA, so I won't be broke next year!! Finals this week. Then I get a week off between winter and spring semesters, so I can relax for a bit. If anyone gets bored this summer, UT is a wonderful place to visit!! Not really, but it is only five hours from Vegas and you'll have a free place to stay. Good luck to everybody one their finals, whether they're this week or in a month. Hope everything is going good for you.

money!!!
I am so excited. I got a letter today from the scholarship office telling me that I got a spring/summer scholarship. This means I actually get to stay this summer and enjoy UT when it is not covered in snow. Too bad now I have to decide what to flippin take. Ochem and Physics are at the same time during spring and the physics I need is not offered in summer. Who knows? Maybe I'll just finish up my religion requirements and be done with it. Now if I could just get my fall/winter scholarship back, all would be right with the world. Until them I will definitely be satisfied if the volleyball team wins this weekend ;) Current Mood:  giddyCurrent Music: John Mayer- Love Song for No One | | Tuesday, February 25th, 2003 | | 8:56 pm |
groundskeepers and heated sidewalks
Well since last night, it has snowed about a foot and a half. All of you wimps at Ole Miss that got the day off can email me and I will send you a picture of REAL snow. Other than being forced to wear closed toe shoes today, Provo is good. Classes aren't exactly enjoyable, but what else is new? No tests this week. Thank goodness, but next week will be a killer (3 tests and 2 papers). Also I am planning a Mardi Gras party (Provo-style) for next Tuesday. That's enough stress in itself. I have never thrown a party here, so I don't exactly know what to plan for these people to do. Oh well. All else fails, I'll just kick them out when the foods runs out. Last weekend was great. Some of my family visited from CA, so I got to see my cousins and sister :D. My friend Phil went into the MTC last week. IT was good, but I won't get to see him for two more years :( ( A little introspection. ) you Ole Miss kids enjoy the snow, Don't forget to have a few snowball fights and make a snow angel before it melts ;) Current Mood:  happyCurrent Music: Norah Jones- The nearness of You | | Friday, January 24th, 2003 | | 11:16 am |

Another racist Jackass brought to you by the great state of MS! You'd think that he would have learned his lesson the first time he made the remark twenty years ago. I guess it goes to show you that once an idiot always an idiot. ;) Current Mood:  boredCurrent Music: the buzz of my computer as I write a paper | | Tuesday, December 10th, 2002 | | 8:41 am |

Well I got a new computer and I thought I would christen it by posting in my journal. I LOVE my computer!!!! I just got back from CA and it was wonderful!! I was hoping it would rejuvenate me for my last 3 weeks of school but no such luck. Now I just really want to go home and see my friends and family. San Jose and San Francisco were fun and I had a great time with my sis, aunt, uncle, and cousins. My brother and his girlfriend on the other hand couldn't stop making out long enough to talk to anyone else. I have 2 papers due tomorrow and haven't started either of them. Oh well that's what No Doze is for. So I can't wait to be done with school. Only 16 days left. All you people that get out next week can suck it b/c I get out in April and you don't ;) Well I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and ate to their hearts content. See you OS kids in a couple weeks! Jen Current Mood:  mellowCurrent Music: Boxcar Racer- There Is | | Monday, November 25th, 2002 | | 12:10 am |
let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Well it frickin snowed tonight. I was eating dinner with my roommates and we looked out the window and saw it falling like crazy. I had been hoping that the snow would wait until I had left for CA until it came but so much for that. Other than the sky falling, life is grand. Only 2 days until I can leave my wretched classes for a week and spend time in wonderful CA! I hope everyone has a GREAT Thanksgiving and has fun with their fams this week. I can't wait to see you guys in less than a month when I get HOME!!!! I am so excited. Love and happiness to all of you.

my rant about the weather
ok so I'm sure you guys are freakin' out b/c of my two posts in less than a month, but I just wanted to share a little piece of my life with you guys. Friday morning it SNOWED!!! It was just a little bit, but I am still quite annoyed. How dare it snow on the first day of November, especially when it is still warm and sunny outside. Then on Saturday being the klutz that I am, I slipped and fell on a patch of black ice while hanging out with my family. No bruises or scratches b/c the concrete was covered in ice but still not a fun experience. Other than cold weather life is grand. Classes aren't too bad and roommates are entertaining. Plus, I get to escape to CA in a few weeks and see my sis. Hope all is well in the land of MS and UT or wherever else you are.

here it goes
Yeah so a few of you may have been wondering if I am still alive, and others may not have cared. But I am a considerate soul and decided to spare you the reading of the recap of my life on your friends page.

Wal-Mart is the devil!!
Hey I was at Wal-mart earlier buying stuff for school and I saw something that is supposed to fix scratched CDs. Being the impulsive shopper that I am, I bought it along with a lot of other crap I don't need. Does anyone know anything about it and if it works? If it's a rip-off I want to return it so let me know before I open it. Current Mood:  curiousCurrent Music: My dad watching The West Wing | | Wednesday, August 14th, 2002 | | 11:17 pm |

That man is so repugnant. All those satanic murderers are.
Geraldo Rivera on Charles Manson. Well Friday and Monday nights were a blast. Here's the Readers' Digest version of the events. Friday: Went to Nathan's house w/Amanda. Chilled for a bit. Decided to do bumper boats after going to McDonald's. Ate at McDonald's and met John B. and Monica there. Played on playplace. went and did bumper boats/ Go karts/ Tilt-a-Whirl. Then we all went to Sonic for a bit. Brought Jacob and Angelina back to their cars and then brought Amanda home. Monday: Played chauffeur to Monica, John B., Meredith& Amanda in the Ghettoride. Met John P. @ Ruby Tuesday. Got our table and chilled while we waited for Cory. When he finally got there, we ordered and then got our food. We had a lot of fun talking and everyone else had fun making fun of my driving record. Everyone raced to Blockbuster after dinner and I still maintain that I would have won if that lady hadn't pulled out in front of me by Winn-Dixie. John and Cory may have made it into the parking lot first, but we beat them to the doors. Picked out a movie -Super Troopers- and went to Cory's to watch it. I watched a little and then went home. Well I don't think that was short enough for Readers' Digest but oh well life goes on. Deal with it. All in all, we had a great before the stress of school returns to our lives. And what is it with stupid southern schools starting so early? Why can't they be normal like the rest of the country and start the day after Labor Day? Oh well. I leave for school in a week and a half and can't wait to get away from my family. They are freakin' psychos. But other than that this has been a great summer. I'm going to miss everyone when I get back to school but I'll see you again in another 4 months! That's about it for now.

10:10 the perfect time!
Sorry but I just had to post again b/c I realized that I posted @ 10:10. As most of my friends know, I always say "10:10 the perfect time!" every time I notice that that is what time it is. Little random fact for you guys. In sales adds clocks are always set @ 10:10. Something about the way it looks makes people want to buy watches or something. Just thought I would share that so now when you see that it is 10:10 you can say, "10:10 the perfect time!" Current Mood: amusedCurrent Music: My little brother watching Toy Story 2 | | 10:10 pm |
Honey I'm home...
Whoever coined the phrase "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" obviously never met my family. My parents got home from their family vacation a few days ago and I really miss my peace and quiet. Three weeks of a house all to myself was wonderful. Unfortunately I didn't realize how wonderful until I was cruelly brought back to the real world as they arrived Tuesday night with my grandmother in tow. Oh well. They are family so I guess I'm stuck with them until somebody dies. j/k I love them but the liking them is the hard part for me. I'll be back at school in a little over a month and soon my friends from MS will also be starting school again. Hope everyone is having a great summer. And thanks to everyone that came to my thingy on the 4th. I want to see everyone again before you leave so give me a call if you want to go do anything.

Hey Ocean Springs kids!
I figured a LJ invitation would be the easiest way to reach all of you. Basically here's the deal. My parents are out of town for the next couple weeks and I want to party while they're gone. I'm going to be having a Fourth of July party @ my house this Thursday around 2. Feel free to come by and bring anyone with you that you want or invite anyone and everyone. I have the whole house to myself and it is getting a little boring there so I want people! I will be grilling and have drinks, chips, etc. Anything else you want to eat or drink go ahead and bring it. :-) Just write a comment to me if you need directions, info, RSVP, etc. That's about it.

The boycott on Star Wars has now ended.
Well considering I saw my first Star Wars movie EVER yesterday I thought this would be appropriate. I watched A New Hope yesterday with my dad and little brother ending my ban of all Star Wars movies. It was ok but really didn't have a plot except rescue the Princess and blow up the enemies. HOW ORIGINAL!! Now I'm sure I am going to get a ton of comments on how Star Wars is the best book, movies, etc. ever, but I guess I will have to see a few more of the movies before I can decide whether to name my children Yoda or Hans Solo.
