Bungee Jumping

On October 22nd I'm finally fulfilling my life long dream of going bungee jumping. Not many people are happy about it, but I can't even explain how excited I am. Of course I'm also extremely nervous, I'm jumping off a bridge to dunk part of my head in the body of water below! however, I am so excited for this rush and I'm glad that I am finally having this opportunity to go out and cross something off of my bucket list. There are many things to do, however this is and has always been on the top of my list. ...I wish that I had someone coming with me but, as I thought everyone likes the idea more than they actually like the reality of it. So it looks like I will be going alone. I just have to find a buddy to drive up to Idaho with me...That part I don't want to do on my own. But ahhh I still can't believe it, I'm actually going bungee jumping...this is so unreal to me, it totally feels like a dream!
WISH ME LUCK!!!
Here is where I am going!

"I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles"

Keep your head up

You know what? This may sound lame, but I don't even care. Whenever I'm feeling down, or feel like things just are not going the way I wish they would, I like o listen to this song. It's cheery tune, and wonderful lyrics remind me that "the sun will always come again" and helps me "keep my head up". I love it!

Keep Your Head Up:
I've been waiting on the sunset
Bills on my mindset
I can get deny theyre getting high
Higher than my income
My income's breadcrumbs
I've been trying to survive

The glow that the sun gives
Right around sunset
Helps me realize
This is just a journey
Drop your worries
You are gonna turn out fine.
Oh, you'll turn out fine.
Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

I know it's hard, know its hard,
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

I've got my hands in my pockets,
Kickin these rocks.
Its kinda hard to watch this life go by.
I'm buyin in the skeptics,
Skeptics mess with, the confidence in my eyes

I'm seeing all the angles, starts to get tangled
I start to comprimise
My life and the purpose.
Is it all worth it,
Am I gonna turn out fine?
Oh, you'll turn out fine.
Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

I know it's hard, know its hard,
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

Only rainbows after rain
The sun will always come again.
Its a circle, circling,
Around again, it comes around again.

Only rainbows after rain
The sun will always come again.
Its a circle, circling,
Around again, it comes around,

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

I know it's hard, know its hard
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.
Keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down.

Pat your head and rub your stomach

I'm so lost right now. I don't know what to do with my life...I feel like life is trying to teach me how to pat my head and rub my stomach.....dear life: good luck with that lesson. At least I've been having fun though!!!

I just don't understand!

I know that it' nothing new for me to be confused and not understand. But right now I just don't understand life. All the decisions are being thrown at me and I just don't know what to do. It's times like this I wish it was possible for me to hire someone to make all my decisions.

an arachnid horror story

Me, Jen, Malia, and My cousin Nichole went to California at the beginning of july to go to my cousin Precious' wedding. We went and spent two nights at our condo in Las Vegas and then drove down to Oceanside, California. We arrived there at our MOTEL 6. Jen and Nichole had looked it up online and seen pictures and it didn't look too bad, so they decided to book it. Bad idea. We had gotten there and it looked like a run down place where we could get diseases from sleeping in the beds. BLEH. Jen, Malia, and I are spoiled to have the opportunities to stay in our condo's as much as we have, so we're not used to hotels, let alone motels. We decided that we wanted to spend the least amount of time possible in that place so offwe went to the beach. when we came back we all were getting ready. We crammed into the little tiny bathroom, malia was in the little triangle bathtub. As I was walking into the bathroom to join them I all of a sudden had this HUGE pain in my foot between my big toe and the next one. The best way that I can explain the pain is a sliver on extreme roids. It was horrible. I was trying and trying to figure out what had happened making everyone examine my foot. Malia, while still in the tub, said "Maybe it's that thing on the floor." I ignored her thinking "whatever, my foot hurts."
As I continued to have everyone examine my foot, malia got out of the tub and declared yet again, "Court, really, maybe it IS this thing on the floor." I looked and it was a SCORPION!!! I couldn't believe it, I'd actually just gotten stung by a scorpion. My cousin, in effort to calm me down, told me the smaller it is the less poisonous. However, when I told my mom what had happened she told me the opposite and since the scorpion was barely the size of two pennies, it would be possibly extremely poisonous and we needed to go to the emergency room. I decieded that I should go ask the guy at the front desk if he has had this happen before. But I couldn't even make it down to the front desk, the pain was so excruciating and my foot had become nearly completely numb. I went back to the room, grabbbed everyone and we were off. When we got to the emergency room the girl at the front desk was snotty and obviously way into herself. She could care less about any of the patients and was too worried about her fake nails getting ruined.
When they finally called my name we walked outside of the hospital, and back in through another door...WEIRD, but whatever. They put me in the little room with a curtain around me. The nurse came in, asked me what was wrong, and as I proceeded to tell her she examined my foot. She pointed out that there wasn't much swelling--which I later found out was because scorpion stings don't swell. She then told me, and I quote, "Well I guess I'll just have to take your word for it." As if she thought I was lying. I told her my foot was completely numb and jen showed her the picture of the scorpion. She still didn't seem to believe us, said I guess I'll have to believe you and walked out leaving me and jen alone with the vital's machine still running, beeping annoyingly.
I later heard her and the doctor talking about iit laughing. I was upset that I wasn't being treated right and when the billing lady came in I asked her if there was anyway Iu could leave, pretend like this never happened, and come bacck if it got worse....I ended up leaving and delt with a numb foot for the next 2 days of my vacation. BLEH STUPID TRI-CITY HOSPITAL!!!---pictures will come later.

WHY?!?

With my 18th birthday and graduation just around the corner I'm in shock! I'm growing up and I'm so sad! Why can't I just be little forever? Why can't I play outside in the dirt without someone thinking i'm gross? Why can't I not do my hair and wear mismatched clothes and have no one care? Why can't I have a perminant red juice mustache all summer long without being judged? Why can't I just be little forever? It's just not fair. However, eventhough many are graduating and moving out to be on their own, I feel lucky to have the opportunity to stay at home while I go to UVU. I am so glad that I'm so close to my family and I hope that we stay that way forever...no matter how old I get. :( but...I still wish I could be little.
