PHONES!!!!

   So, we have come too attached with phones and things that when you don't have a phone on you...well, lets just say it is rough.  So my phone was going to die the night I was checking into the dorms and I knew I would have enough time to find my charger and charge it.  So I looked everywhere and guess what I left at home?! Yep my charger, or at least I though.  I didn't end up leaving it at home but i thought I did.  How was I going to make it until sunday (when my brother could bring it up).   In the end i prayed and found it and even got in touch with my mom.  Just pray and everything will turnout fine and it will!  I almost didn't get to say good-bye to my mom, so I'm SO GLAD That my phone is up and running!  Especially when a cute guy gives you his number... (you will have to wait for this one).

There are two types of people to this world...

So I have realized that there are two types of people in this world.  I however am an alien and don't fit either cae

1. Those who can't wait to be done with high school and be adults.  They can't wait until they don't have to see all the people they don't like and never have to go back to high school.  And never come back
2. The others are the ones that are really want to be out of high school, but never really leave.  They come back to all of the football games and basketball games when they are out of high school for like 3 years.  Or they are the ones that never want high school to end (but come on they are rare).   
3. Then there is me! ("the rarest of them all").  I will miss high school, because of all the great memories and friends I have made, but I'm excited to move on and be on my own!

It is amazing at how many people are either one or the other. It brings me to realize that most people or most of the human race, are not satisfied with their current situation.  But why not? Life if hard, but will always be okay in the end.  We know that everything we go through is ALWAYS for a reason.  Why can't we just enjoy every moment?!  

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT!

Just a race

So running a mid-night run at 11 was great! Traveling to St. George, then running 3 miles and coming back.  I stayed up till 2! That has not happened in about a year! Anyways, so I end up getting 3rd overal for all girls and second in my age group and I got nothing! They had a problem with their computer and it took me out of my age group and put me in the overal group.  That means When they awarded the top girl only (they usually award top 3)and didn't award the first or second losers, I was forgotten  .  So when they awarded the top 3 in the age groups, I got nothing either! Oh, well I guess it is just a race anyways.  My happiness doesn't depend on just ONE race.  Maybe next year! ;)

Joking Jane

So last friday was a day of jokes on me! I never knew it until I sat down and thought about it.  I was very astonished to find out how many people don't know what day it is.  April Fools was quite some time ago, but no one seemed to care.

1. I got hit smack-dab in the face by a dirt chunk of some sort.  Another runner thought it would be funny to hit me, but was not aiming for my face.  That is one of the many reasons that people run, they can't aim.
2. My little brother thought it would be a blast to lead me on.  Let me further explain, my little brother, I call him buddy, won the geography bee at his school and was able to advance to the state competition.  Buddy was able to miss a day of school to participate and didn't end up winning which I was sure he could do, he called and told me that he won.  I believed him, of course, and then he continued to tell me how he would continue to the national geo-bee.  This endeavor however, went on for some minutes.  Then, laughing at me told me that it was not true.  I was almost mad that he lied, but I was too proud to be angry.  Great Job Buddy!!
3. My government teacher thought that it would be fun to make the project we just got the day before due on monday.   No one was laughing.

So what does Jane do to make her self feel better...play a joke on the track team.  I dressed up as a person with a big head. (Use a pillowcase as the head, which goes to the hips, then dad's old t-shirt, that ends up at the knees, and then shorts, that look like pants because they got the the shoes.)  You walk around and freak everyone out.  It took forever for people to notice me and they were running away or if brave would come and figure out who is there.  The coaches just looked confused and ignored me.  Once it was over, no one said a thing.  It was in a way pretty awkward and fun.

Just a Small Act

     Happy Easter! So my ward decided to go and help at a community center and help with the sacrament meeting.  we got there and the lady asked if anyone played the piano...of course everyone looks at me.  She comes over and asks me to play certain songs that I didn't really know how to play so I pulled the violinist to play the right hand while I played the left. (Don't worry she can play piano too!) Long story short, WE WERE SAVED! The lady's nephew came just in time and played the songs for us.  He just made everything so much better, and I even got to lead! However, I didn't get a chance to say thank you. So who ever you are, thanks for saving me!!!  It was a great day to go and serve and just talk with the elderly.  They are just so much fun to talk too!

New Start

      Adding something to your new routine when you are already supper busy is hard.  Saying you will do something that can take tons of time can also be challenging.  If you don't already know where I'm going with this then I'm talking about my blog, Jane has been very quiet lately.  She hasn't had too much to say, but plans to get better and speak up more.  It is also hard to tell you side of the story, when you don't want to offend anyone or already have a difficult time with sharing your emotions or feelings.
     I am one to hold in my emotions, not let others in when times are hard.  I have a personal Journal and use that because the internet can sometimes not be as trusting.  I guess I get that from my dad...we don't let others know how hard things can be and just deal with it because it is just life.  I always have a smile on my face, because I did when I was little and now, if I don't everyone with know something is up.  I need to be better and reach out to others, stay in touch with those friends that moved when I was younger.  Let others know how much I really appreciate them and all they are doing for me, because they really don't know how much they mean to me.  Thanks so much for being patient with me...I will be better.

New shoes...maybe

So this last week in practice, the coaches thought it was be very funny to do such a hard workout that I would end up being sore for the next four days.  I didn't think it was very funny, but they did.  Then, on the weekend, my dad thought it would be a great weekend to go get me new shoes! I love getting new running shoes, who would argue? So on we went to go get shoes, just one small problem.  I really can't run because I am so sore.  This never crossed my mind until...well...I had to actually run in the shoes to tell if they were the ones.  Running shoes have to pass a long list of requirements to be aloud to run if (of course!)  We drove this long way (okay 5 minutes) to go try on the shoes and I didn't want to inconvenience anyone so we bought some shoes.  And don't think we kept the receipt (you know if they actually don't work).  Well, guess what, they work! I now have the gift of picking great shoes when I can't even run in them!
