I don't know...

So, just a couple things that have been on my mind.. I have 3 weeks of school left! I can't wait but I think in almost every one of my classes I have a big project due, In programming I have an image processing program due, in Statistics I have some projects and portfolios due, in Web Design I have my website due (check it out at janamortimer.net) in Family History I have this huge compilation of family history work due, and in Social dance we have competitions and this weird performance thing we're doing as a class, In art I have this crazy 5 project thing due... And I still have finals in Web Design, Programming, and maybe that's all... I can't believe it 3 more weeks! and I figured out that there is like no way I can get an A in programming and a very slim chance of getting an A in Web Design....
The next thing that's been on my mind is a summer job... I'm not sure I'll get the job I had last summer, and I'm not sure I want it back. I would really like to get a job as a web designer or programmer intern.. I could do the bottom code for projects or whatever and I'd learn more stuff related to my major.. My problem with that is, I don't know if I want to live at home... I mean I do... but I don't.. I want to irrigate this summer and work in the yard.. but I don't want to wake up at 4:30 to help milk cows.. I like sleep... And my parents drive me nuts! They say I'm selfish, immature and lazy.. but I'm not! I'll do anything for my mom! and once I get up at 7:00 I'm up for the rest of the day and I do work! It's just annoying. So to solve this problem I'm trying to decide if I want to live in rexburg and just get an apartment or move to Logan and live with my Aunt and Uncle... I guess it all depends on where I get a job... haha well that's the main stuff that's been on my mind.. let me know what you think.. leave a comment! haha

My hair!

Before

So, last Friday I finally fulfilled a change I've been thinking of making since last summer! Last summer I happened to take some pictures with one of my cameras that does crazy things, and the lighting in my room and the way the camera took pictures it looked like my hair was super dark! It actually looked okay. I had a friend ask me if I had ever thought of coloring my hair dark around Thanksgiving time and it wasn't until February 6th I officially did it. Here's the difference: After (not a very good picture)

My Best Friend Jessica!!

Another one of my greatest friends is Jessica Roberts. Haha she's wonderful! She's someone who you can never depend on to be on time, or to show up when you want her to... but she tries her best. haha Jessica is a year older than me and always let me tag along in High School, I gained so many friends with Jessica's help. She's someone who is nice to talk to and fun to be with. One of our favorite things to do is to take pictures. We all get dress up and then one person poses while the other 2 take pictures... it sounds weird typing it out like this, but It's a blast! Haha Jessica and I met 4 years ago through our good friend Kim. I think... When we found out she lived so close to me we started doing lots together, if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have done many after school activities... She's a wonderful person, and you can depend on her.. you just have to depend on it that she'll be late... haha Jessica is easily one of my best friends and a great person to be around, she keeps Cara and I in line... until you get Jessica a Dr. Pepper... but then she's just kinda scary.. haha sitting on cookies... and watching movies upside down... haha I don't know where I'd be with out her.

My Best Friend Cara!

I met my best friend Cara my second day at Bonneville High School. We were in P.E. together and were automatic running partners cause we seemed to run at the exact same pace. At first I had a hard time trying to figure out where to eat lunch, but I finally found some cool guys to sit with and Cara quickly joined me at their crazy table. Pretty much after day one, Cara and I were inseparable, we would meet up before school if she rode the bus, and we usually had a couple of classes together, and then we'd eat lunch together, Lunches were funny in high school.. for some reason when Cara and I got done eating we didn't like to sit around and wait for the bell to ring, we would walk around the commons area, getting atleast 4 or 5 rounds in. haha but I think that was more our Senior year, our Junior Year I honestly don't remember what we did, I'd like to say we went around and hung out with all the seniors who were my friends, but Cara doesn't remember half of them.. I was popular with the seniors, I went to most of the Senior parties and knew more of the Seniors then the Juniors who were my age.. but this isn't about me. I remember Cara and I doing crazy things in high school.. like a foam soap fight, having skipping contests, and jumping off walls, it was great! We didn't really do alot in High School together other than lunch. I think one of my favorite memories from high school was when Cara and I asked some guys to a girls choice dance and she was getting ready at my house. My dad was sitting in the living room (which is where the girls in my family get ready.. that sounds weird but when there was 8 kids in the house and only 2 bathrooms it worked out best for us girls to do our hair and makeup in the living room.. ) talking to us while we were doing our hair and him being an artist was like "You guys look way too much alike, Cara, what's your last name again?" and he then looked up her last name in our family books and figured out that Cara and I are 3rd cousins! We thought that was pretty cool. I loved going to school at Bonneville, and now when I look back I wish I would have graduated from there, even if it would have meant I wouldn't have known half the people I would have graduated with, and wouldn't have been able to go to Indiana for FFA.. But.. once Cara and I got to College we were able to hang out alot more and we did. Now that Cara is actually focusing more on school, I have people always asking me where she is and why she's not with me. It's kinda funny and since we did so much together people always get our names messed up. She has always been a wonderful friend.

Introductions

Well, I'm kinda new to this whole blogging thing. But I really enjoy writing down my life.

All of my amazing roommates have blogs so they convinced me to start this, and they don't even know. I am a student Brigham Young Univerisity of Idaho, and I love it here. I never thought I'd enjoy such a strict school, but I really do.


I am the 4th of 8 kids.

















My syblings in order are Leslie who is 26, and just got married this past June to Curtis they are expecting their first kid in April, it's a boy, and I'm sure he's going to be adorable. He'll be the first grandkid for my parents and my first nephew, I'm excited!








Next in line is Diane, she is 24 and just got married in November to Demetrios, she would have to be one of my best friends, but since she's gotten married I haven't done much with her.

Next in line is Lane who's 22, he's always been one who has a different date every week but rumor is he might be getting hitched.. who knew.

Next is me, I'm 20, I'll be 21 next month and quite excited, in fact I'm always excited for anything and everything, it's really not a big deal that I'll be 21 since I don't drink or anything but I'll officially be an adult and I get to change my drivers license.

Next in line is Tyler who is 18, almost 19, he leaves for the Missionary Training Center March 25th, he's been called to the Minnesota Minneappolis mission.

Next in line is Michelle, who is 16, she also would have to be one of my best friends. She's sometimes a brute (bluntly honest) but I love her just the same.

Next in line is Brett, he's 13, and the hardest working kid ever, he struggles with learning, but is a great kid.

Ryan is the baby, he's 10, and by far the most talkative of all the kids in my family. He's hillarious, but very spoiled rotten, Ryan and Brett are fighting constantly, it drives me nuts, actually it drives my whole family nuts!

I come from a huge family, there have been few divorces. My mom has 13 whole syblings, she has 7 brothers and 6 sisters. My dad has 10 syblings, 3 sisters and 7 brothers. When we have family reunions on either side, they're huge, but tons of fun!

Since the year Lane was born, 1986, my family has lived on a dairy farm, I think we milk about 60 jersey cows, they're adorble! especially the babies. As you can tell in the picture. I love the cows, but I hate waking up in the morning at 5:00 to milk them, so I usually find a way to get out of it. On our little farm we have cows, two dogs (Rusty & Ace), tons of crazy cats, stinky chickens, devilish white rabbits with red eyes. I've got many stories from growing up on the farm.

Well, that's some of the main stuff about me, if you have any specific questions let me know.

Saturday Boredom Broken

Today was soooo boring! I woke up about 11:00 a.m. only cause I read my clock wrong and thought it said 12:00 noon... I ate breakfast, showered, and then totally got ready doing my makeup hair and everything even though I wasn't planning on going any where and then sat around until 5:30 trying to accomplish my homework.. but by judging how much I got done on my blog today.. I obviously didn't focus very well.. about 6:30 I noticed my sister Diane was on facebook, so I convinced her to go get my syblings from home and bring them up bowling (cause I really felt like going bowling) So I called home and convinced my sister Michelle to come bowling, which was really tough, she likes to argue... I finally convinced her and they came and picked me up around 8:15. Diane and her husband Demetrios picked me up along with Michelle and Brett. Tyler met us at the Alley with Tesha (his girlfriend) and Ryan. It was an intense game of bowling, on my lane was Ryan, Michelle and Brett. Ryan


was winning most of the game ( I think it's cause of the bumpers but even when we switched lanes and didn't have the bumpers he was still winning) but I came up at the end and won by 1 point! I had 112 pts and Ryan had 111, when I went to give him high five he tried punching me.. so I punched him back.. but it was still tons of fun. I love hanging out with my syblings, they're a blast and never boring... I'm sorry I didn't get any pictures of us bowling.. I always get sidetracked and forget to take pictures, the first picture is of Tyler and Tesha the second

The Bowling group: Me, Michelle, Tyler, Tesha Demetrios, Diane, Brett, and Ryan

Friday Night Fun

So, last night I had a blast. I called Jessica, Cristi, and Cara. We were all going to finally be able to hang out. But then Cara said her old roommates were having a party at her apartment so she said we should all just go there. After much confusion and mess, Jessica, Camille, Cristi, and I finally made it to Cara's around 5:30, we then went out to Chinese along with Cory, Rob, and Anna. It was fun. I think my favorite part about eatting Chinese is using chop sticks and eatting the fortune cookie.
When we got back to Cara's we watched the movie Bandidas and then everyone was just leaving, so we kinda got kicked out, which I still don't understand what was going on. So Cristi, Jessica, and I went ballroom dancing, where I sorta learned the guys part to cha cha, guy have it tough cause they have to know how to lead the steps where as girls just have to know how to follow. I ran into a little girl there whom I used to babysit when they were my neighbors, and she almost recognized me, and she said I looked like I belonged in college. She took me upstairs in the Hinckley building where I was able to hang out with her family, and played wii, in the meantime I had forgotten about Jessica and Cristi, I had just ditched them, but they found me and we went back down to go dancing and they wanted to leave, so they left and I stayed for about 4 more songs then met them at Cristi's apartment. At Cristi's apartment we had hot chocolate, and chocolate ice cream while we were watching the Sister Act with Cristi's roommate. It was fun. Then about 12:30 Jessica and I came back to my apartment where I offered Jessica my bed because my roommates were still up and in the living room where she usally sleeps and she kept complaining about getting up early so I figured she needed as much sleep as she could get. But about an hour later, I went into my room just to find out she was reading a book! So finally my roommates all went to bed and Jessica and I stayed up until 3:30 watching Sweet Home Alabama which I do say has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. But that was my Friday night. Even though it wasn't perfect I had a great time and love my friends!
