Happy Thanksgiving!
I got to go home this weekend and hang with family and friends. It was hackin awesome. Although the Utah weather has robbed me of my thanksgiving break... I had to leave Saturday night instead of Sunday night because of a stupid snowstorm. (But I admit it was a good idea, It is 8 inches and still snowing right now) Supposedly, there are a ton of car accidents on I-15 right now too. Wow this is cheerful.
Anyways, It was good to see family and good to see Harry Potter. But there were a few parts where all I could think was "Whaaaaat?" ugh bleh (during the movie and being with family haha!). The next movie is gonna be so sweet though! I spent the entire drive to Cedar City yesterday discussing Harry Potter and Smallville with a friend... Now I ask you. where does that put me on the dork scale? The drive from Cedar City to Salt Lake is soooo boring. And I absolutely HATE driving through Utah Valley. That is the reason why I will never attend BYU or UVU. I dont hate the schools, I just hate the location. Sorry!
Speaking of BYU vs. Utah. Utah wins by one point because they block the kick? How often does that happen? That is the only football game I will watch. And Yes, I am a BYU fan... ish. That is pretty complicated eh? I will never want to attend BYU, yet I root for their football team. In fact, I really want to go to the U for graduate school. uh? My mom graduated from the Y and my dad graduated from the U. My life is so complex and split... Can I just say that part of the reason I like BYU is because blue is my favorite color... haha lame reason? (I dont care at all about football, but school colors... is an ENTIRELY different story) I guess I don't mind the color red either. hmmm... i guess I am questioning my BYU loyalty. LIFE CRISIS!

Self Defense
hey hey hey
I have had an interesting few weeks. Final projects and tests have taken over my life. But I guess that is part of the college experience.
The Relief Society activity was about self defense this last week. We had it because a girl in our ward got mugged in a parking lot. They had two cops come in and talk to us about staying safe. I think they just made us all ridiculously paranoid. They talked about spyware and like cameras in our apartments and men hiding underneath our cars. They talked a lot about peeping toms and crazy stalker boyfriends. Most of the girls were completely dazed by the end of the meeting. They gave us all rape whistles and I won some sweet hackin Lipstick PepperSpray. (WHAAAA!) totally cool. I can't wait until someone tries to attack me so I can spray them with my pepperspray disguised as a lipstick tube.... I dont even wear lipstick. muahahaha. Then I will kick them where it hurts (I may or may not be watching to many action movies lately)
Also they totally convinced me to get a concealed weapons permit when I turn 21. Watch out world, Janessa is goin to be packin heat. The cop talked about his grandma and how she always has a weapon on her person. I just cant wait til I am old and people think I am defenseless.... but I am absolutely going to blow their minds when I turn into Granny Dangerous with a gun. O ya... (I am definitely watching to many movies lately)

Pity Friends, Babies, Cigarettes, and Group Projects
Happy November everyone!
So I have a sad/pathetic story. Do not think less of me because of it. It happened last week in church. I have been in salt lake and with family, so I hadn't been to this ward in a few weeks. I don't really know anyone there so I just went up to the front of the room and sat by myself. Big Mistake! Everything was fine until sunday school. (it was the fifth sunday, so we spent all three hours in the chapel) Anyways, the guy who was teaching sunday school was talking about being member missionaries and including everyone. He started to talk about how he sat by himself in his new ward, and that was when I knew I was in trouble. (i am still sitting alone in the front row) He says that everyone is sitting in groups, while I am shrinking in my seat just praying that he won't spot me. Of course he does see me and he says, "wait, everyone is sitting in a group except for you. what is your name?" The ENTIRE ward gives me the your a l0ser/i pity you look. I introduce myself and he asks, "is this your first week?" hahaha! nope, I have been here all semester. My reply results in about 5 seconds of awkward silence until the teacher just asks if he can sit by me next week..... o my hackin. you have got to be kidding me. I say yes, and by now I am bright red and the rest of the ward is just laughing at my loserness. So, of course, this week I had three people approach me and say hi and introduce themselves. The whole ward thinks I am loser with no friends. So now I have like ten pity friends in my ward... grrreat. Why couldn't I get through the semester without being humiliated in front of the entire ward?
I was at Walmart yesterday, and as I was checking out. The Walmart lady looks over my shoulder and stares...She then says, "ma'am! look at your baby" The baby in the other line had got into the mom's purse and found her cigarettes. The baby got a hold of a cigarette and put it in her mouth. The mom is still completely oblivious, while the older daughter sees and quickly gets rid of the cigarette. This is just a really funny mental image, but also kind of sad. I guess it is a "you had to be there story" But I thought that I would just share it anyways. haha, o man.
This week I worked on two final group projects....by my hacking self. Why do I get stuck with the loser groups who have the work ethic of a half dead sloth? I care too much about my grade to just fail the presentation and let the other group members learn a lesson. ugh I don't even know how to handle these kind of people. I know that I will always have to deal with people like this.... but I sure don't have to enjoy working with them though.
