New Start!

So this is a new start for my life:

• I am taking new classes :) (CNA [certified nursing assistant], Chemistry 2, Interpersonal Communications, Psychology, Yoga)
• I am now the VP (Vice President, yeah :) whoo) over Advancements on Student Alumni. (I am sad to say I got this position because the old VP is quitting. I will miss him dearly, he is a great friend and really did well with his job)
• It is the new year! I will work on things for myself, school, family, and just life. I have been making new goals and I'm excited to see where it takes me!

I can't always hold onto the old things, I am getting older and maturing. It is time for me to begin the journey of a new chapter! I am very excited to see where this road takes me and if you want to, come join me for the ride! :)

Christmas break!

So this Christmas break has been pretty fun! It all started with finishing my LAST final of the semester. I am not gonna lie but I honestly didn't even care anymore. I was sick of studying and taking tests. Once the last one started, I just buzzed thru it and didn't care. I ended up doing good in all of my finals and ended up with 2 A's. 2 A-'s. and a B. (I am still mad about the B, It wasn't even my fault, the teacher was never there so I could turn in my work and talk to him) I was just relieved and felt all the stress wash away after I completed my test! I remember telling my dear mother, "I feel so happy now" which was so true. It was a good start to the Christmas break!

We then went to my cousin, Allie, wedding in Provo. It was very nice and she looked GORGEOUS! It was freezing up there but I got to see all my cousins. I drove up with my aunt and uncle and their three kids. They are super cute, but a long drive in the car was close to all that I could handle, I don't know how I will have kids.... I stayed at the twins house and slept on the ground. It was actually pretty comfy! The next day was the marriage day. They had a reverse order and did the reception the night before. They were glowing after they came out the Temple. I loved it! I cant wait to go there someday. I hope it's soon! We had the luncheon and then me and chipper headed off to Salt Lake to fly home! or so we thought.... We got to the airport, checked in and was all ready. As we patiently waited, and my mom frantically calling A LOT, we noticed the flight was cancelled. SLC wasn't snowing or raining so what was the deal? We talked to the nice lady and she said it was cancelled because they couldn't land in St. George, it was too foggy and rainy. So, WHEN HAS ST GEORGE EVER BEEN TOO FOGGY OR RAINY?? geez! so now we were stuck in SLC till the next day. Thank goodness Dani lives in SLC! We ended up going to Denny's (which isn't good if you reheat it :/ ha) then sleeping over at her house. See one nice thing for us, is since mom works at skywest, we get to fly for free! But with that advantage, having the parents drive down, we just gave them our bags and we would see them soon.... or not! I didn't have a single thing that i needed. I had, me, my clothes i was wearing, blanket, ipod, and wallet. I went and bought a Dora tooth brush! But everything else was Dani's. (thank you to her). I didn't have a jacket so I probably looked like a fool in a big brown/green fuzzy blanket! Finally the next day was sunday, Dani left us for a meeting she had for church, then came back, and took us to the airport! Our flight was scheduled to leave at 3:20 and we were there around 12:30 so we went and got some food and played on our ipods waiting. Next thing we know it got delayed, and then again.... we did not leave the stinking airport till after 5! It was the worst flight EVER! I hate flying even when it is calm, but no, this plane was torture! The pilots cant drive straight or something but the clouds we went thru were HUGE! I was gripping onto my blanket for dear life almost the whole way. My hands were aching so badly. Chipper my dear brother was laughing at me so hard and, I even caught the flight attendant laughing. Geez! what is this world coming to?

I finally got home and the rest is history!

For the rest of the break, I got to hang out with my sister after she came home, play with my bestest friend Kelci, and just finally relax! ha :) Christmas was way fun, I met new people, I got a new phone, (Fascinate, yeah i know your jealous ha) and relaxed some more! life is great!

new hobby....

So just barely on Friday November the 5Th (can you believe its already stinking November :/ that means its cold now) I got hypnotized! ha second time ever and I love it so very much ha it feels so good and refreshing. I love making people laugh so being hypnotized really does the trick. its awesome! people are all coming up to me and saying how funny i was and i was the most animated and their favorite. I feel like a celebrity at school now! Miss Jacee Whatcott! ha we did so much different stuff that it is gonna be kinda hard to remember it all but a lot of the stuff we did was very similar to the same things i did last time i was hypnotized on the cruise ship.!

• of course you gotta have the dirty smell (which was accompanied by a nasty green color)


• a wonderful amazing smell which i couldn't get enough of (he would say roses and i would smell that smell which didn't smell like roses although it had that color to it) the smell was coming from someone next to me so i was started smelling the guy next to me and o my goodness it was amazing. i couldn't get enough so i tried to eat it and bit his pants. it wasn't enough so i apparently (from what people say) i was straddling him trying to get more of that smell... oops!


• we danced like ballerina's and i could not stop curtsying and fixing my tutu and smiling


• performed 'bye bye bye' by N'Sync (of course, i got the real mic and sang to everyone)


• we went and sat on peoples lap in the crowd we didn't know and then had to be a baby. i was a sleeping baby then he put us back to sleep (that's what the picture is of on the right)


• we had a relaxation color (blue) and a energizer color (green) and i still use them when i need energy or to relax. its weird!


• we had a 4Th grade teacher and when he looked at us we would smile so big and the bigger the smile, the better the grade. o i was smiling so big i had to use my hands ha ha but when he turned around we hated him so badly and would make faces, pretend kick him, and all sorts of stuff


• this guy talking to us had clothes on the front but when he turned around he didn't have anything covering up his behind. it was so funny! (for those of you who have seen "patch Adams" the movie, at the end patch doesn't have clothes on the back at graduation and that's the image i saw. priceless) second part to that was he told all the girls that he was brad Pitt's butt and o my goodness was it just gorgeous! i saw this nice tan muscular body and a perfect butt! o i wanted it so badly or just to touch it! i was in love with that butt


• one point every ones tongue was out of our mouths and we couldn't get it back in. o my goodness i was going to hurt someone. the harder we tried the more it would stick out. even if i closed my mouth with my hands, my tongue would still find its way out. grrr!

there is so many more things that happened that i cant fully remember right now. my memory is slightly hazy still but i remember if people start talkin about it. I loved it. its my new favorite past time! ha whoo! L.O.V.E this

People I Miss Dearly

So through out my stressfull and lonely and boring and fun times, I have realized, I miss people! There are certain ones in my life that I just straight up miss! I wish that they would come back to me or I had more time to go visit them! (these are in no specific order)

1. Kelci Simmons: she is my bestest friend in the whole world. I would do anythin for that girl. She is up at SUU (which i remind you is only less than an hour away but feels like forever). She is playing softball and has a boyfriend. We have so many inside jokes that no one understands. Anytime I think of just one, I will always crack a smile. She helps me stay calm if mad, happy if i have a bad day, or extremely hyper if Im being goofy that day. We can laugh, cry, yell, jump, twirl, run, dance, sing, talk, or even be hypnotized together. She has always been there for me and I will always no matter what have her back. She is someone that I l.o.v.e! (shout out....) Kelci, Thanks for being such a wonderful friend. Youve touched my heart in so many ways. Love you!
   
2. Dani Shay Whatcott: She is my sister and no one can beat that. We have such good random moments together and Im glad we can share them together. She is up in the cold area of Utah attending the University of Utah. She is majoring in Psychology and has a really boring job where she watches kids take extremely long tests. Most of her friends are Latino, wouldnt be surprised if one day she marries a Latino and names her first born Tristan. I love just being around Dani because something is always bound to happen between us, whether is the wierd ways dani says words, or my blonde moments, or random trailors doing complete circles, or burning gizzards, or just anything you can think of. She is my sir and forever will be my sir. (shout out....) Sir, I luff you! Thanks for being shorter and younger looking but, in age years, older than me. I look up to you. Your such a great example in my life! Luff you mucho.


3. Man: That random man in my life that I should be dating right now. We have not met yet which is a shame. I dont plan on marrying you, I just want to have some fun and date. Nothing wrong with that. Its time for you to stop hiding, come out of the closet (so to speak) and ask me out. Hopefully Im not busy and we can make great converstaion. Thanks! (shout out....) Man, I am single! The end.
   
4. Other people I miss: I am on antibiotics right now from being sick and so I can not think straight so excuse me if I forget to name you. I miss my cousins (every single one) They are so much fun and I love spending time with them and making memories. Its the best! Friends from high school. I made alot of friends as i went thru the routine of going to school. Mainly it was just social hours for me but it was still fun. I miss having those random moments that I grew so fond of. (shout out....) I miss all of you. keep in touch so I dont have to miss you as much! thanks :)
   
5. Swim: I know its not a person but still. It was an escape route for me when I was under a lot of stress and had alot of things going thru my mind. Just the feel of the cool water pushing past my body, the ache of my muscles in a hard set, burning of the lungs when doing no breathers, the laughs with all those who i swim with, floating (well trying to) on top of the surface, the feeling of being underwater but still feeling free, being free of gravity, and just all else. I am at such a loss when I dont have swim because it was my life and its like a piece of my heart has been wripped from my chest. Its almost like I cant prove to myself anymore since I used water, and my times, to show that I was working hard, pushing myself to new heights, and obtaining victories. (shout out....) I will return one day, you just be ready! I know I will be. See you soon....

ScHoOl....

School is officially in session now. And man its starting to really get difficult. But I think I can handle it, well most of it. I really am enjoying my Human Anatomy class. It’s really fun and I just love learning about the body. It’s so intriguing. We get to look at cadavers (dead people) and normally I think that would completely gross me out but it’s so neat. The body is so mysterious and I just can't wait to learn more about it. So far we have learned about the skull and brain. Now we are on the facial arteries, and muscles, cranial nerves, and such stuff in the arm. The body is just never ending with information ha I have now decided I would like to be a pediatrician. How fun would that be? I am with kids all the time and they are so much fun. Putting together two things I love (kids and medicine) I have determined that pediatrics is probably for me. The only thing is, Chemistry class is whoopin my butt! It is so hard for me to grasp the concept of it all but I am getting there! Hopefully soon I will have it down to a science (ha no pun intended :) ha) Student Alumni is a fun group I’m on. I am learning a lot and working on my leadership skills. We just held a Zumba night at the college. Me and this kid named Jared were in charge of the whole thing. I almost had a mental break down ha but instead I got sick and had to get antibiotics the day before this event took place. Although I still had a super fun time all dressed up in 80’s :) That’s my life now. I rarely work so I really want a new job and do something that is more towards my major and goals in life. Anyway, we’ll see how that goes! Until next time!

summer...

so here is an update. i am terrible at keeping up a blog! ha well as of June 15, 2010 i am officially an adult. i passed into the 18 year old phase and still have a skip in my step! hahah this summer i have just been bein myself like normal. 24/7. i work pretty much every day. i teach swimming lessons. private one on tues, wed, and friday. ill start doin normal lessons with work on june 28th. im excited. i like teaching swim lessons =] im just like a kid so we get along! i also life guard still. this is my third summer can you believe it? i work mostly at the city pool for now and i enjoy it. in the sun, by a pool, makin fun of kids who belly flop, life is great =] i go to the lake sometimes which is nice, news flash! dont go to the lake when it is windy, especially if your going to go swim around from rock to rock. waves make it alot farther and harder to swim around in~ just hang out and swim and enjoy life. summer is the best! its warm outside, no school (except for those smarty pants who think summer is just another semester at school), hang out with friends, feel the sun beating down on you, burning bare feet on the ground, and so much more! hope your summer is going funn as well! :D

party with my sir!

so this weekend i made plans to go up to salt lake to play with my sister. not only be with my sister but my cousin was suppose to come home from his mission in Ireland. due to the volcano in Iceland, he can not come home. the skies are way to full of ash and tiny rocks that will get stuck in the engine of the plane and ruin it. i want him to be safe so he is staying there for now in the mission home. we will see when he will finally make it home. i hope it is soon =] anyway up here in slc, i am suppose to be looking for a dress for Sr. Ball. i am royalty and will find out on Wednesday who is king and queen, ill let you know if i become queen. ha but since it is going to be pretty much my last dance and i am on royalty i am kinda forced by the mother to go. i am not to angry bout it but it is quite difficult to find a dress. i have been dress shopping at LOTS of different stores and haven't found any dresses that are me and isn't less than 150$. i am okay with finding someone who has a dress that will lend one to me. i just have to find one before Wednesday for the assembly. o and i haven't been asked to the dance yet ha it is in one week and i am still dateless. but that is okay. have no fear! my younger but bigger brother Chipper said that he will take me. i think that will be fun so i am okay with not getting asked. =] so back to slc... me and Dani have done much! flying here was a train wreck. i was very scared but managed to get back to land safely and in one piece. we went and ate at a cute restaurant and i ate a bit to much =] whoo! after some shopping we went and hung out with Dani's friends Andrew and Dan. we went over to some girls house and 2 other guys showed up and we had fun swinging on swings (in her house...) played pool (which i suck at) and slid down the fireman pole. it was quite a blast. now today after shopping at the gateway, going to the U's bookstore and riding the trax, we will most likely be going to Dani's friends house, Tyler, and having a dance party. i get to show them all my moves =] YAYAY!

spring break

o my so spring break for me was march 6th to the 15th. and i was lucky enough to go on a 6 day cruise with my best friend and her parents. we went to cabo for two days and also to ensanada, Mexico! joy of my life! i made new friends. created new memories. spent money. and toured the world (well only two cities but still). ha we were lucky to know a few people on the boat. we had some friends there and so we hung with them plenty =] and we saw some people that go to college with us and met people we didnt even know existed ha we were probably the most known people on that ship other than our cruise director steve. (i am not a fan of him) me and my best friend kelci played around all over the boat, we went to every dance party, we started one of the dance parties on the "lido" deck, we were loud, we went to every night of karaoke (we are good singers, dancers, and back up singers from the side of the stage), and we also got hypnotized! amazing experience! hypnotizing is very sketchy in my mind until it really happened to me. i thought that it wouldnt work and it would be a fake and i would be taken off the stage but when i woke up for real, i didnt remember a single thing and things around me were different. ha i felt like i was up there for 5 to 10 min when truely it was almost an hour! we did all sorts of things. and after wards people were telling me for the rest of the trip that i was a really good dancer ha yikes! the hypnotist told us to go and shake his hand afterwards and we would remember, so we got 4 ppl that all went under together and shook his hand. wow was he right, things were slowly coming back to memory! we did so much different things.

• played the air guitar
• ballet dancers
• tango dancing
• imitated Elmo (we got tickled, shaked our booty, danced etc.)
• did the conga (had no idea what that was)
• got shot with pretend sleeping gun (it was his hand)
• had a magic thumb that could put people to sleep
• hands super glued together (harder you pulled apart, harder it was to separate) made me very mad because i couldnt separate them...
• watched a sad movie (yes i had tears, make up stains to prove it)
• funny movie (tummy hurt so bad i couldnt breathe)
• scary movie (voice hurt afterwards cuz i screamed so much from being scared)
• super cold! (i had goosebumps, shivering and violently shaking. he sprayed us with a water bottle i guess, everyone said that but it honestly felt like pelting hail)
• nasty nasty nasty smell. used our and neighbors shoe as a gas mask. yuck! (i swear that smell was coming from andy the kid that was sitting by me from California! one of my best friends now! ha anyway i thought he was the source of the nasty smell but then we were told it was us making it. uh oh! i was so embarrassed.)
• belly dancing! geez what was he thinking making me dance like that??

at karaoke, my group was known as the "Utahns" and if it was just the girls, usually it was but we were the "utah girls". it was very fun and a blast =] i wanna go back so bad. wanna come? =]

April fools

april fools is the best. i have got some people to believe me on different occasions. wouldnt you think some people would learn by now that some things you just dont believe on april 1st. some jokes on april fools is messed up i think. like today some "smart" person put april fools with window paint on the driver side window then put toothpaste underneath the handles, make me so mad! who do those fools think they are?? geez! i got some good pranks tho. with my injury i told this one kid i had a rare disease called "sirenomelia" which is where your legs are stuck together and you have like mermaid legs. ha that was funny. i told this one guy i was 2 months pregnant and he offered to be the father. it was bad so i ended that one quick. he told me he was serious! too bad he isnt my type haha i pulled some other ones and helped my friend pull one as well it was priceless. she is like the prank master on april fools day. its her favorite holiday and i got her. she is sketchy bout it but i played it off cool. she was at practice so i havent said april fools yet. but the night aint over =] hope you didnt get tricked to bad heehee

life without swim

my life is still BUSY if not almost busier. i feel like i have even more to do now then i did while swim was going on. that may be the case because now we are in the 4Th quarter of high school. so weird. i am graduating very soon! i dunno how i feel bout it. i don't want to get older but then again i do. i get to move on in my life and as some say "start a new chapter" or on this i say "write a new blog" ha ha =] but i get to finally prove to people the real me. high school seems to make you be a certain way because you have to get things done on time. you get in trouble for almost everything. your babysat and have to behave. the real you comes out when your on your own and free to do what you want. i know that my parents have taught me very well and they should have faith that i will be okay! just like my sister, she went away and found herself even more and is doing things on her own that are now more important to her such as going to church or school. no one is making her, she is choosing to and her knowledge of things around her are becoming into better perspective! i tried on my cap and gown today cuz we finally received them and it was the weirdest feeling. its my time to move on... FINALLY ha =]

state

well state wasn't my favorite event of my life! lets just say i don't have the fondest of memories of it! what a great way to end my last year of swimming =/ i did end up medalling in all of my events. i swam the 100 fly and dropped like barely any time but still did alright. i went in third and came out third ha =] i beat the girl from my team who was placed ahead of me, which was sad for her but happy for me ha... in the two relays we placed third. one we dropped time and placed better than we started out but the other one we started out first and came out third. it was very depressing! and then my 500 free ......... this race was not pleasant at all. i don't want any sympathy but lets just say that pain took over and killed me. i added 5 seconds :( i couldn't handle the pain. i was in complete confusion. i was on some pain medicine that made me feel so good with barely any pain and then i hurt that bad? did not make any sense to me. but o well. swim is over. time to relax and see how the pain i have fizzle away or intensify!

meets leading up to region

so before i get to the best part,,,the region swim meet i have to first describe what lead up to it. I had other swim meets before and in one i swam the 100 fly. my previous time was a 1:09 and i swam it with all my might and it felt so good and i was relaxed and ahh amazing. i ended up with a 1:05.27 :):):) i am so happy! i also swam the 500 free and this whole season i have not got anywhere near my best time. my fastest was a 5:52.52 and i was swimming in the time of 5:57 so i was like whatever lets just swim it and see what happens. i swam and would just randomly decide to go faster and o my heck i went faster and i ended up with the time of 5:46 ahhh! it was amazing like i was so happy and dont know where that came from. i held 35 seconds on each of my 50 for the whole 500. (need i remind you that there are 10x 50's in a 500). the meet before this one that i am describing i swam the 200 freestyle. that is a very tough race because it is a distant sprint! anyway my fastest was a 2.08 but just like the 500 i was swimming in the 2.12 range, not fun. so i was nervous but way pumped up for it. i ended up swimming a 2.07.66. havent been so happy haha!
