My Final(s) Blog!

Hello everyone! I am sad to announce that this is the last week of school, and that this will be my final blog! Tomorrow is my final final (haha) and I now have a whole year's experience of being a Dixie Rebel under my belt. I can't believe that next year I will be a Sophomore! It is crazy how fast time goes by. I have had so much fun being able to write this blog and if anyone wants to keep in touch, feel free to e-mail me at dixieamanda@gmail.com I hope everyone has an awesome summer! So far, my plans are just to work, and go on a few vacations! I am very excited to be going to New Orleans, LA sometime in June. My best friend (Chris) is adopted, and he just got in contact with his birth mom and we are going to go meet her for the first time. Hopefully I will get to travel other fun places as well, but I am mostly just excited to have some time off and be able to relax for a few months before it all starts up again :D The chaos, as I like to call it! Good luck, and I hope to see you at Dixie State next year!

Love Always,

Amanda Jacobs

P.S. I will leave you with some gorgeous photos of the Ambassador banquet that took place last week!

The lovely ladies of Ambassadors 2007-2008

Now that I'm not a freshman anymore I won't be getting beaten up anymore :) haha This is Pat, our Ambassador Advisor joking around...at least I hope so :S

Working Girl with a new 'Do...

Hi guys! It sure has been a fun week. First off, I finally got that haircut I've been blabbing about (look up if you want to see!) I really like it. My mom said "It's so Vanity Fair!" She is really funny! I think she meant to say Vogue...ha ha! But, on to today's subject. One of the most important aspects of life is, sadly to say, money. But i'm happy to report that I have lots of fun earning mine! I work at the local movie theater, and i love my job so much. My job is working in the box office, and I am really lucky because I am aloud to do my homework and read magazines in between movie times! It's so much fun. Also, 2 of my close friends, Taylor and Miriam, work at the theater with me. They call us triplet sisters because thats how close we are! Work is never a chore because we always end up working together or coming to visit another one! In the photo above, Taylor (aka Twin) is on the left, and Miriam (aka triplet) is on the right. Our nicknames have to do with our age: I'm the oldest and I'm called Big Sis (19) Taylor (Twin) is the middle girl (17) and Miriam (Triplet) is our baby sis (16)! Here are some more of our hilarious adventures captured on film from work last night:

You might be asking yourself, "Where can I buy this amazing lip gloss? It's so vibrant and wonderful." Well, it's Taylor's Special Dark Chocolate Recipe. Just smear, lick and dab for a shock of dark brown color that is sure to get you noticed.

And that's our finale!

The Great Race

Hello everyone! I am here to fill you in on one of my *new* favorite activities on campus. Well, its not new to everyone (it's been going on since the 70's) but it is new to freshman like me! It's called The Great Race, and it is a blast! Honestly I'm disappointed that they only hold it once a year. I can't believe I'm going to have to wait that long for another one! But, every year during D-Week, a time honored tradition on campus, students compete through different obstacles to be the winner. Some examples are a mud pit, a slip and slide, and even a rollerbladingrace! It looks like a lot of fun to compete, but also very tiring! I'm much better at rooting on people from the sidelines :) but afterwards there is a carnival for the whole community to enjoy. I was babysitting that day, so I took my favorite neighbors along with me to enjoy the fun! My favorite part of the carnival was the balloon animal man! We waited in line over an hour just to meet him. He was so nice! He made me a flower for having to wait so long. Here are some pictures of the race (the mud portion! ha ha) and the carnival:

Such a day...

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful April. First off, I will start by telling you all about one of my favorite holidays, April Fools Day! As anyone who knows me knows, I am the prankster queen extraordinaire, so you better watch out! I told my brother that I ran out of gas in a town about 20 miles from our house, I pretended to choke on tortilla chips in front of my parents, and I told my best friend that it was all over the news that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's baby had died! Those sound serious, but I promise I would never trick someone in a mean way...But it was really fun to lighten up and have a good laugh. Today, on the other hand, was not as care free!

It was Sterling Scholar Day on campus and the Ambassadors had jobs to help around campus, and me and my buddy Courtney were supposed to sit in front of the fountain and direct the students to their locations and help any judges find their way as well. It was fun catching up with Courtney and relaxing, doing our homework and reading Seventeen magazine but I have to tell you by about 11:00 am I was regretting not wearing sunblock! Its only April, but i guess its still St. George so I should have known better. I was so happy when it was time for lunch! I got to sit with some of my other Ambassador friends and we had fun talking and eating hamburgers. By this time, I was turning a lovely shade of pink, and if you look at the photo below you can just barely see it showing up. It's much worse now, I match the font i'm writing in but it's just my arms! I will never understand how that happened. But after lunch, we laid on the grass and had a photo session. Here is (from left to write, top row and then bottom) Sabrina, Courtney (my table buddy!( Megan, and Me (rockin' our sweet shades haha) and on the bottom is Lindsey and Alissa.

Alissa and I both love fashion, and it was fun talking about what brands we love and some of the cool stuff we had collected. Too bad Quin isn't in this shot, We always joke about how we are models! This isn't my best model pose though... I will have to post one of my pics from my last "session" with my best friend Chris...we love to goof around like that! I am so excited for tomorrow...First, I am cutting my hair into a chic bob, and I am going to dye it dark (dark for summer? I know i'm very original haha) I am headed for LAS VEGAS!!! We are watching my brother and my dad race their ford mustangs at this event called Midnight Madness and on Saturday we are doing my favorite pasttime....SHOPPING! I can't wait to go to Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Vera Wang! I have been saving my moolah for some cute jewelry! I am hoping to find something cute at Chanel since that is my favorite brand and I only have knock-offs so far...But don't worry my darlings...I'll be writing all about it next week!
Much Love,
Manda
