Soooo it's Christmas eve. I am not done with my shopping, but now I just have friends to shop for who I will not see until after Christmas. Ha, I am giving you all the shaft. Also my dad is getting the shaft cause I don't know if I'll finish his present in time. At this point, I'm guessing not but who knows, maybe I'll get motivated.
In other news, I discovered this wonderful new invention called "Reindeer Corn". It is delicious. If you enjoy high fructose corn syrup. I believe that is all I have to say. Have a good christmas.
Cat Stevens is on NPR
They're interviewing him and right now he's playing Peace Train. That's 104.1 for all you non-geeks. You should all tune in right now.
I got an email from my Spanish professor asking us if anyone was going to Traverse City and could deliver a package for her. She gave us her cell phone number just in case we were.
So I'm finally done with exams. I still have a paper to write though, and pack, and find something I lost that is of great importance. After that I get to go home. I better get crackin'
Tyler Epps
I miss my cousin. I don't even remember the last time I saw him. It had to have been at his mother's funeral in 1999. We're really close in age so we were inseparable for the longest time. Mom says no one knows where he is anymore.
I used google to search his name and found a picture of him. It's from March. I'm going to cry. I never realized how much I missed him. He's all grown up with facial hair and everything... Apparently he was still really good at basketball. Hey, Tyler. Ty Ty. I miss you.
Just in case you google yourself: this is Rachel, your cousin. You should contact us or Mike or someone. What are you up to? How is everything?
I was way too excited then quickly depressed today.
I saw Emily (!) whom I missed dearly which made me excited.
I also saw, for probably the last time ever, Micah, Tim from my creative writing class, CG and everyone in my creative writing class. Then in French I will have to deal with seeing Marah for the last time. Ever.
Stupid semester abroad. You screw up all my goodbyes.
I am thinking of totally not doing this paper for marketing but I sort of have to. It's all of my grade. But he wrote 0 notes on the one I have to rewrite (except for "good" and "okay maybe") so I have nothing to improve.
Exam week has me stressed and excited and sad. I miss people already.
We wear our scarves just like a noose
So tomorrow we are going to Chicago so I can get my French visa.
Emily was going to come with us but she has to work on Saturday so she can't. Which makes me more depressed than you can ever know.
In other news, I received a letter telling me who my host family was. I emailed the last two students who had that family and they both said that was the best family in France. I am excited.
