Blah!!!

Blah!!!

:: 2006 5 April :: 8.09am

One year ago today, I was on spring break. I was excited about prom and waiting for my dress to arrive. I was going to graduate from high school soon and I was anxious for our physics trip to Cedar Point.

Today, I am tired and not on spring break. I am excited about my first year of college life to be over and I'm waiting for 8:15 to arrive so I can get ready for class. I am going to drive myself in my car to Aquinas College and I'm anxious for my two dogs downstairs to shut up.

One year from today, I will be in France. I will be excited about the next weekend trip Emily and I take and will be waiting for my turn in the bathroom after my host siblings. I will be going to class at a French university with students from all over the world and will be anxious because Emily wasn't feeling well last night and it must be hard to be sick in a foreign country.

A lot changes in a year. It's amazing. I never really stop and think about it but one year ago I was attending high school in Rockford, Michigan. Today, I'm attending college at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan and I drive myself to school everyday. One year from now I will be attending university in Perpignan, France and taking weekend trips to Spain.

Wow.

I can't say I'm not a little scared.

My name is Rachel.

I am cool.

I steal people's husbands by having hot icons like the one I have now.

I also do it by having ones like these:

Yep.

Yeah. I'm cool.

I spelled the word "happy" incorrectly on Kyle's celebratory entry.

I feel stew-pod.

In other words, check the 'con.

P.S. Hannah: "They made Evita look so nice but she was the supreme dictator of a fascist totalitarian government. If anybody's crying for her, it's because she's wiping out their families. Everybody did love her though. I have to give her that. Nice tennis shoes."

My family is awesome.

P.P.S. Kyle, remember that totally awesome present I gave you that one year? How was that anyway?

If I lived in Canada I'd be fuckin' pissed.

Hi again friends. I'm procrastinating homework again.

Rachel, WYCE just played more grocery store porno music. I thought you should know.

My roommate had a boy over yesterday and he didn't leave till 5 am. Now she's got another boy over but he lives 3 hours away and is in the Navy. She is such a hoebag. Ha ha, just kidding Melissa. I heart you. Even though you're not reading this.

Um yeah. I think that's it.

And her secret is revealed!
I really would not mind raising my kids in Rockford.

Yes, it's boring. It's also a safe and quaint little town. I like it, it's cute and small.

However, California or Georgia would still be awesome. Or Ashland, Oregon.

Hi all. I have a bunch of homework. So much that I'm wasting time here instead of doing it. So you know it's bad. This morning I got up at the crack of dawn (ie 9:30) to help out at the animal shelter. Not because I'm a good person, but because I'm suffering from dog withdrawal syndrome.

Also, I figured out that if I take like 18 credits every semester, and don't study abroad, I can get out in 3 1/2 years instead of 4! Then I can just go backpacking in Europe after I graduate! Then I won't have to learn philosophy in French! Woooo! Excitement! Ok I'm done have a good weekend.

Kelly!

Au Revoir Les Enfants is on DVD now.

Excitement!

P.S. The Lovely Bones is being made into a movie a la Peter Jackson. No, I'm not looking forward to it. I don't feel like crying and I don't think he can do sentimental/story about a girl who gets raped and stabbed to death then tells the whole story from heaven. Plus he's doing Halo that same year. Eh, not sure on how that'll turn out.

Hi all. I'm at the library. I'm supposed to be working on a paper for poli-sci but you know what? I don't feel like it. I wouldn't do it at all except that it's one of those wonderful group projects and we have enough dead wait as it is.

Also, I made my very first icon. I don't know why I always had trouble making them before, but then again I've had trouble putting a floppy disk in the right way.

Also, my dreads are starting to look more like dreads and less like I just neglected to comb or wash my hair for a month.

I suppose I should get back to my paper. Bleah. Good day to you all.

Why did you turn down FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, Morrissey?

Why?

I would pay that much to see The Smiths in concert.

I don't know if any of you have heard about these people from Kansas protesting at the funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq.

Usually, I'm all for protests. My first reaction was "yeah, war protest."

The dumbest thing is that they aren't even protesting the war in Iraq. They claim that the death of the soldiers is a direct result of God's anger at a country that supports homosexuality.

Okay. First of all, since when has the United States of America supported homosexuality? Second, isn't there a more appropriate place to state your opinion than at a funeral? Third, none of the soldiers whose funerals they protest are gay.

Sorry, Kansas kids. You might want to rethink how you're getting your message out there.
