It has been an interesting Spring Break... yep. Nothing really cool happened, but I somehow managed to read like eight books in five days. wow! I also managed to get NONE of my homework done... (not very impressive) I kind of have a twenty five minute presentation on Wednesday that I haven't even started to look through the material. ah!
I am trying to get an internship at TOSH. I got all of my immunizations and stuff done this week. ouch. Pertussis shot, blood drawn, and Tuberculosis test. I think that I have had my fill of needles for the next year at least. Also the red cross is stalking me, so they can steal more of my blood... hmmmm.
Okay last thing. I had an entire week to just sit around... Most of my friends still had school so..... what is there to do? nothing. And somehow everything goes wrong the day before I have to leave for Cedar City. My car didn't pass hackin inspection! The brake lights turn on when I turn on my headlights. Ya, that might be confusing for all of the other drivers out there. sorry! It also cost over 200 dollars to fix! unbelievable. I plan on making Artem become a mechanic so I never have to pay for labor again! Shawn, Devin, and Dad are going to be my home maintainence crew. Chelsea is going to be my designer/style expert/decorator(wow chels has quite the list of jobs. haha!) . Artem is the mechanic. My mom has to help me with everything else (including making me actually call people on the phone... is it weird that I HATE talking to people over the phone? I prefer email, text, or face to face. My mom literally has to dial the number and hand me the phone. ugh) Phones are just so awkward... okay anyways. I need to go do my taxes (When I say I... I actually mean my dad is going to do my taxes) Add doing taxes to my dad's job list. Lauren is the photographer. hmmm I am not sure about Aubrey... What else is necessary? And I can make some amazing kick butt exercise programs and help anyone with injuries or rehab after surgery. yes! My family rocks!! Wow this is quite the random paragraph. o well.

My biomechanics professor is very... passionate. He reminds us daily that we aren't good enough college students, and that he is teaching us concepts that we should already know... what? I didn't take biomechanics in high school! bleh. well, I was working on the homework, and the last question was a trick question... The professor's rule is if we ever have any questions or need help we can ask anyone but him.... does that make sense to you? whatever I had another professor help me with the problem and we figured out an answer. We are allowed to work on it in groups, so before class I told about a third of the class how the other professor solved it... (it had to be the right answer right?... wrong!) We corrected it and there was one final step that we didn't do... I could just feel the hostility directed at me from about a third of the class. ugh. I am trying to keep my head down more. Because one point in that class is a big deal. bahhh. I pretty much raced out of that class as fast as I could. Also we got another question wrong becuase when he asked for the answer, none of us spoke up and told him. We paused/choked for a few seconds so he told us that we all got it wrong. Needless to say, I am a little afraid of him, (and about a third of the class).
Anyways... I have one more thing to vent about... I have turned in my graduation papers, but! I also needed to fill in a diploma form. I went to go turn it in and the lady said I needed to pay a fee. Wait wait wait one second. I have been paying this school thousands of dollars each semester, and I have spent two and a half years at their school. I only get one tangible thing in return for all of my hard work... I get a piece of paper. And they are going to make me pay fifteen bucks for a diploma?! are you hackin kidding me? bah!! ridiculous. they won't even pay for a diploma.

Trees, Internships, and Aliens?
It has truly been an uneventful month... wow. .... anyways, I spend every single week day in the PE Building. Many hours have been spent walking to the different classrooms in that building. My whole life is in this building. Then one day, something really strange happened. We had to leave the classroom when a girl started to have a seizure... (that isn't the strange part) and I was just standing in the hall when I saw it... A half dead tree in a pot right next to the classroom door... what? I thought, "I have never seen that hackin tree in my life" This was a good sized tree too... Like taller than me. If you walk to close you get a face full of leaves... How come I have never noticed it before? what the!? (I know it seems I have a lot of issues with trees on campus, after the couple sleeping in the pine tree incident) I walk past this tree at least four times a day! So then I broaden my vision, and find two more trees down the hall!! ah! I am going crazy. Naturally, this is when I ask every stranger around if these trees have always been in the building. They say yes, and their nonverbal communication says, "this girl is a crazy" yep,... and they are absolutely right. I spent the rest of the day puzzled by the "invisible" trees. Those trees still freak me out every time I pass them.
I am trying to get an internship at TOSH in Salt Lake City. They need me to prove that I am a student for liability reasons before they accept my application. (Like so the people won't sue me if they trip in front of me and break their leg.)... what has our culture come to? seriously. But then the school wants the internship to count for credit.... so guess what... I would have to pay tuition. So I would pay SUU.... to work for free... at TOSH. I am paying someone to work for someone else? does that make sense? blast! I need to go talk to them again.
Okay... who doesn't like aliens and slapstick comedy? I recently discovered that the old tv show 3rd Rock from the Sun is on netflix play instant. ahaahahhah! I LOVE it! I have watched five episodes in a row. wow. I am leading quite the exciting life as a single college student... watch out world here I come.

Cruise. Boo Ya!
Greetings, how is everyone's January?
I just have to start with this. There is one really funny thing that only female PE majors get to laugh at daily. ... We get to laugh at the male PE majors. yep, thats right. These guys can be seperated into a few groups.
Group 1: the men who are above 30 and coming back to school. They think they are superior to everyone in the room, and they can't help but comment about their many years of experience in the real world.
Group 2: The shy ones. They always sit in the back and never say a word. You forget that they are there completely after the first day of introductions. Usually they are also the smart ones.
Group 3: The normal guys. They just come, learn, and are usually married. (dang it!)
Group 4: I don't want to be racist but... the asians. They are in every PE class and they always sit together. They barely speak english, and they look like they have never lifted weights in their lives.
Last but not least. (The ones I laugh at everyday, I never get sick of it)
Group 5: The guys who check themselves out as they walk into the room. haha! I have never seen so much self absorbtion in my life. These guys walk in sit down, flex their muscles, and stare for the first five minutes of class. These guys are usually the athletes, but not always. They try to act all cool, but you can tell that their appearance means everything to them. I wonder if they know that other people notice how much they gawk at their own looks. All of these guys have to sit next to each other in the class. They also just stare at their reflection in the huge windows in the hallway. I don't know why, but I think it is just hilarious.
My classes are going well. I am a little overwhelmed, but I think that I will get into a comfortable pattern soon enough. I got a Gold's Gym pass, so now I won't get fat this winter.
The Cruise:
I went on a cruise last week to the western Caribbean. I had a blast, I can now say that I have been to hell and back. Hell wasnt that impressive, but I got a cool postcard.
The plane ride was different. A college student going to Tampa University sat next to me on the airplane. He started talking about marine biology and the genomes in sharks curing cancer... 2 hours later...... I had totally lost all understanding of the conversation. He mumbled his name so I have no idea who he is... oops. Once we got to Florida, he was in the same shuttle as us when my mom said, "Hey Janessa! That boy was sitting next to you! where was he from?!" I tell her he is from Chicago and that he is two feet away from her.... and everyone starts laughing. He scampered off pretty quick... sorry for the embarrassment dude. The bright side is at least my mom didn't ask what his name was... Because I had no idea! That would have been a slightly more awkward situation.
We had a couple formal dining nights on the cruise ship. It was fun to get dressed up and fancy. I didn't spill food on my dress(phew) and I didn't accidently trip the waiters. But! something embarrassing was bound to happen when I was in a fancy dress, heels, and on a rocking ship. We were out on the deck after dinner and we all had ice cream cones (best part of cruises) I was walking across the deck toward our group (which included my family and Mrs. Hansens family) They are all waiting for me to join them. I was trying to concentrate on not falling, but I totally slipped and almost fell on my face. Everyone laughed again. My sister was kind enough to tell me I looked all fancy and graceful, until I slipped, and then I just looked like an idiot. awesome.
My dad decided that we needed to go to this abandoned beach on Cozumel. The reason no one went to it because you had to go off road and onto a bumpy sand road. We had jeeps, so we went even though the renting place told us not to. We later found out that insurance would have been voided if they found out we were on the bad road. woops. We got there, and it isn't a sandy beach. It is a rock beach. But they had huge shells all over. We gathered sweet and free keepsakes. The Hansen family is really prone to motion sickness, so needless to say, they did not enjoy the forty minute bumpy drive. Nothing happened to the jeeps so we didn't get into trouble. We went to the beach three islands in a row. I got an okay tan. We also went on the zip line through the jungle. It was amazing and beautiful. (and no bugs!)
The food was absolutely fantastic. I ate way too much. The last day was really wavy, so all of us got sea sick, but it wasn't that bad. I would like to give a shout out to Dramamine. Motion sickness medicine is the best thing that ever happened. ever
We finished our cruise and exited the ship on Sunday morning. We waited at the airport for four hours, then we were on a plane for six hours. They made three stops between Tampa and Salt Lake. Ugh! The last stretch was delayed an hour because the pilots weren't there on time. So we got home at eleven p.m. and then I had to drive three and a half hours down to cedar city. I got four hours of sleep that night, and then I had five hours of classes the next morning... I am still suffering from slight sleep deprivation. I don't do well without sleep. haha! in fact, I get kind of hysterical. My room mate didn't have to witness Janessa's lack of sleep emotional breakdown. It didn't help that I was still kind of swaying and losing by balance from being on the ship for a week. I don't know if the lack of coordination was from exhaustion or from the ship rocking. I guess I will never know.
I have got to go catch up on homework. ugh

New Semester!
Greetings... uhhh ya
Christmas was awesome. I literally sat around my house for four weeks... I never found a job, and I just sat around and waited for the new semester to start. wow. I passed all of my classes last semester. yaya!
Okay so my classes went okay. I am in all PE classes. woot woot.
I managed to only slightly humiliate myself so far. I sat down for a class and suddenly all of these HUGE guys come sit next to me... They were freakin scary, and then their conversation was totally ... inappropriate, gross? I was seriously thinking that they were going to beat me up after class. o man. have you ever sat next to scary people? ugh, I guess i shouldn't judge them, but holy cow. I was in the middle of the class when suddenly my throat went totally dry. I don't know why, but I was like choking. I start coughing and trying to moisten my throat. The class is dead silent and the professor is talking in this monotone voice. People are kind of side staring at me. crap, and the scary dudes are freakin glaring at me. I try not to cough, so my face turns red. I am like literally choking in the front row next to these scary guys. The professor notices, and kind walks over next to me. I am pretty sure he was about ready to stop and help me out. But I stopped in time, my eyes are watering and i am bright red. Everyone is staring but I just keep pretending to take notes... ugh it was only slightly embarrassing on the first day, right?
I totally get to go on a cruise next week. woo hoo! I am missing the second week of school, but hopefully I don't miss too much stuff. And my biomechanics class has reminded me how much i hate physics... bleeeggghhhhh. Well, I am go sleep, now that i am early morning classes. (gag)

Birthdays and Hymn Books
The week of finals....... O Hackin'
I finally finished my last week of school and I am about to dive into my finals week. Woot woot. I am so ready for this to be over. I only have three finals and they will hopefully be pretty easy. So ya my birthday was last thursday.... it was extremely uneventful. I went to class and then came home... thats it. wow. But I did get a few texts, phone calls, and a million posts on Facebook. What did we do before facebook? We were supposed to watch smallville, eat muddy buddies, and go to a comedy show on friday for my birthday. For some reason there was no signal from the CW so we didnt get to watch smallville, and Everyone forgot about muddy buddies, and the comedy show really wasnt that funny.... All in all. A little disappointing. I guess I shouldnt get my hopes up. haha! At least my room mates got a delicious ice cream cake for me. That was super awesome.
I was in my last institute class of the semester and the teacher was in the middle of a super serious lecture, and I look down at the inside cover of the hymn book on the desk. I just break out laughing, and everyone just gives me the "you are totally weird/no one sat by you for the entire semester for a reason" look. After "the look" the teacher kept on teaching. BUT! before you judge me of my weirdness like the rest of the class. I have to tell you what I saw... Okay it isnt that funny or clever when I tell you.... you just had to see it.
The institute had obviously had a thief problem, so they had put a sticker on the inside of every hymn book that read: "STOLEN FROM: Cedar City Institute Building" hahahah. Maybe it is the finals week jitters that has my sense of humor derailed, but at least all of my fake friends from church who sat by me pretended to think it was funny. Well good luck this week! I am off to a good start.

Thanksgiving
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!
