Goodbye winter semester!

This semester has literally flown by! It seems like just yesterday I was living in CA and working everyday. But, I guess everything of Winter semester is gone. All that is left of Winter semester are final grades. Ahhhh! I know that I have A's in all of my classes but Chemistry, which is on he fence. I have no idea what my final grade is in that class, but I guess that it is over, and there is no going back to fix anything. Well, Steph, my roommate is no longer with us, and if you want to know how much she brought to school, let me tell you. Actually, let me show you!

And I thought that I had a lot of stuff. I brought up with me only a trunk full of stuff and someone else and his luggage. I think that it will take a semi to get all of steph's stuff home.

General Conference was great! On Saturday morning we all made breakfast, and had about  13 people over and had a great time. here is a little peak of what went on that day...

Oh yeah I sold little Chester that day also. They are coming to pick him up Easter weekend. they think they will be able to fix him and drive him back down to Utah. Good luck!

May I add that little spare on Chester, has been manually changed by Stephanie and I! Yeah we are awesome, we had boys pass by and offer to change it for us, but we told them that we were almost done, and we did it all in about 15 min!


P.S. you know what i just realized? After this next semester, I will be HALF way done with school! That is a little weird for me to think... ahh!

Robert Bunsen this one is for you!

So, today in Chemistry Dan leans over to me and tells me that we should be singing Happy Birthday today. I was utterly confused... so he goes on to tell me that it is Robert Bunsen's birthday, (the guy who invented the Bunsen Burner). So he raises his hand and brings it to the attention of Brother Zaugg, who too thought it was funny, but we had no time to sing, because he had a lot to discuss today. So in honor of you, Robert Bunsen, and your 200th birthday, I bring this to you...

For some reason this makes me think of my brothers also. Maybe because we are always making up weird songs and singing, but especially the chemistry part of it.

Biggest Winner!

 

      Here at BYUI they have a Biggest Winner competition. On occasion, I have seen people in the gym working out together, and on Saturday I saw a bunch of people on treadmills wearing weight belts. I was like oh my goodness I would hate to be them.... and  now guess what I am! I got my skin fold test yesterday, walked into the Health Center to make an appointment so a doctor could check me off that I was eligible to participate, and when I went in they said they had an opening right then! Yay! I also had to get my blood drawn. And guess what I actually looked at the needle when it was in my arm, and I looked at the blood when it went into the tube, pulse by pulse it would squirt in to the tube. This is HUGE progress for me. When I was younger, I would not even enter the room without crying. I think that this day signifies to me that one day I could be a nurse, and do that to someone else and not get grossed out from it. Any way, since I got the doctor to sign the paper today that means I am one of the first 36 people to turn in the application which means I got a spot! it starts at the beginning of next semester! I am stoked now, but maybe not so much in the coming months. I do not know what the reward is, but if I lose any weight, it will be reward enough! Jillian, watch out because here comes your next victim!

      During it, Mon, Wed, Friday will be cardio workouts, and Tues, Thurs, will be strength training with the group. Every other Saturday will be a team challenge, some of them include 5k run, running with weight packs on, and other things like that. I will also have a personal trainer, and a meet with a nutritionist weekly. We also will have weekly weigh in's. Man I am excited, and a little nervous at the same time... ah wish me luck! 

Jimmer is no more...

Jimmer has a great season. Tonight with his last 3 pointer from at least  feet behind the 3 point line was a great way to end the season.

Well looking on the bright side Stadium of Fire is coming up and they are having  contest to see who will win $10,000 the top 3 will perform at the Stadium of Fire on July 4th. You can vote for your top 3 so here are my picks.

Manic Monday?

On Monday's I am usually at the library till FHE, then come back to the library, then I go to volleyball from 9-11. Today was different, and I don't know why. I had the same assignments but it took me WAY less time to do them. For my biostatistics class part of our assignment was to watch SuperCroc! It is actually a pretty cool movie. If you ever have some spare time and want to learn more about crocodiles then watch http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/supercroc/ . I am done so early in the day that I am a little nervous though...am I missing something?

My computer is back!

Brad, one of my awesome brothers, is so talented. he fixed my computer. My computer had fallen and the screen cracked. I was so sad. But... dun dun dun dun... it comes in the mail and it is fixed! thanks Brad! So it has been quite a while since I last posted. March has been the month full of birthdays. Mom, Summer, Stephanie, Kacie, and Marie all had birthdays! I have to say I am all caked out, well until next birthday...

 MMM... Oreo balls, a favorite of mine. Smashed oreos, with cream cheese, frozen, then dipped in chocolate!

 

Roommate sleepover! When all the beds wern't on the floor, we piled them all up and made a couch out of them, it made for a great conversation starter. 

Levi at the school desk! Only 3 more years and this will be him for real!

Wearing Mr. Potato head's glasses

So I thought I would do the same!

 

We were lucky enough to have Marie come to the cabin too! It was defiantly a blast!

Stephanie's 19th birthday

 

The celebration of Marie's birthday, on out way back from Pizza Pie Cafe (formally known as Craigo's)

 

Marie's Strawberry cheesecake, mmm that was way good! Great pick Marie!

I look at the last time I wrote on my blog, and I realize that it has been a while. I only have 3 more weeks from today of school. The I am going to go to California with my mom and dad to go help my Grandma for a week. I am so stoked! Let the count down begin.... 19 days!

Dad, I have met 5 new people!

I love my new roommies! They are awesome. I came up here with Marie who I had already known, but I got to meet 4 new girls that are wonderful. Stephanie is my room roommate, and she is awesome! we will be up till the late hours of he night laughing.


I am so glad that Marie and I can be roommates. I am so glad that I could meet Marie 3 years ago, we have been besties ever since. "L" ya girl!
 

Man, us girls can be crazy sometimes! When I get a chance I will take more pictures of the rest of us in 110.

Ps. Yesterday I paid the deposit on my cruise to that Bahamas! Man I am so excited, only 211 days left!

My Kind of Perfect

Dear David Archuleta,
    I am in in love with this song! I have had it on replay in my car for the past 2 days straight, and I drive at least 40 min a day. When I listen to it I also belt it out but I replace the words "she" with "he", and "beautiful" with "handsome". Can you tell that I am still searching for my kind of perfect?

♥ Jerica Jackman

My Kind of Perfect - David Archuleta

I was thinkin' about ya
I drew a little picture
But some things you can't put on paper
Like ya like shooting stars
Or write songs on guitar
Got more things to do than stare at a mirror

And I know I know,
He's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know, he's gotta be

Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right
Maybe I'll just let you walk by
What can I say, maybe I've known you all my life
Is he the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner, see my future
In a handsome face
Maybe

He's anything but typical
A sweet suprise
No matter what she's looking at the brightside
It's gonna be worth it
Cos that's what love it's
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect!

And I know, I know, he's gotta be out there, out there
I know I know, he's gotta be.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right, maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say, maybe I've known you all my life
Is he the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner, see my future, in a beautiful face
Maybe

They say, give it time, give it time and it will fall in line
But I keep wondering how and when and why I haven't met you...

But maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right

Ooohhhhh
Is he the one is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future, in a handsome face

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is he the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner, see my future
In a handsome face
Maybe ohh maybe yeah

I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect.

I am not in Rexbug anymore...

So, we have volleyball nights on Monday after FHE, and then we always go to Wendy's after and get frosty's. This was like any other Monday night until we hear a ton of cop cars heading our way. (We usually go to Wendy's after it has closed and only the drive-through is open. We end up parking,sitting outside and eating.) The cop cars pull into Wendy's and block our cars, and yell at the people in the car that they were chasing to get out! Oh man, at this point we were freaking out just a little. A big white woman gets out and the big black man that was driving tries to get away but doesn't because there are literally 12 police men surrounding him with their guns pointed. Man can I tell you I could have peed my pants right then. This is only something that is on the TV! And we witnessed it in real life. They must have been chasing those people for a while because the cops were from Benecia and we were in Concord. They were both double handcuffed and then were sent on their way to sleep on nice cold, hard beds behind bars.We could only leave once most of the cops left because they were blocking us from getting out. Man what a night! One that I wont forget about for a while... Night night big black man! If you never got the chance for your mother to tell you to go to your room and think about what you did, then tonight is the night. 

PS. Don't come out till there is a smile on your face.

Too much fun to keep track of ♥

4 Flights in 2 weeks. This month has been CRAZY! I have been to AZ and back then to UT and back, now I am on the last stretch before going to UT again. Arizona was so much fun. I love being around family and playing with my niece and nephews! 

When in Utah Summer and i of course had to go Black Friday shopping. while at the mall Summer wanted to enter in every raffle, to test her luck. And guess what? me, being the one who was not that into it, was the one who won something. A PSP3000 (up for sale by the way)!

Since being home I have gone to 2 basketball games also. One Cal game and a Warriors game. Both super fun! At the Warriors game we got a fan photo, heaven knows I am not going to buy it but here is the link. http://www.printroom.com/ViewGalleryPhoto.asp?evgroupid=0&userid=warriorsfanphotos&gallery_id=2371270&image_id=12&pos=9&image_id=12&pos=9 (Last picture on the first row of pictures)

After, when we were walking to the car, we found a little crepe store! Mmm, delicious! I got the chicken, pesto, and sun dried tomato panini.

Last Saturday, Kate Baldree and I were bored and had a sleepover! We made caramel apples. Oh boy was it fun making them! I love to do spontaneous things like this. We had learned a little trick, to quickly drop them in boiling water to take the wax off, and oh man was that disturbing. i never will eat an apple the same and not think of all of the wax that I am eating. This is how they looked after they were done. 

This is how they looked after they sat out while we slept!

We learned a great lesson... put them in the fridge once you are done making them so the caramel sets and you don't get all of the goodness that falls to the bottom. As you can see we put them in cups so they would fall back in place, yeah right! All of the goodness just fell off and onto the table. Some of them we were able to save, but the others we just gave to family to eat because we could not give those hideous things away, even though they did taste good.

Tomorrow is the charity ball, man I am excited, bought a new dress and am in the dancing mood! I will post pictures after.  

9 days till I see my family again : )

13 days till the family celebrates Christmas all together!

 26 days till Winter semester 2011 starts : }
