| I visited Sewanee on Friday with my mom. It's beautiful. I went at the perfect time; the leaves were all starting to turn and it was a little chilly. I can picture myself in those cobblestone buildings and on that wooded campus in a heartbeat. I realize now that I really want to go to a small school. I want to know that if I wasn't around for more than a day people would notice. I want to know that the teachers and advisors will know me by name. I want to know that I will pass the same person more than twice through the course of a semester. I think that's important. So I'm really liking the idea of either Sewanee or Davidson right now. Of course, they're both the most expensive and Davidson is the most selective of all my other choices, so that's just perfect, but I can't help but feel that I belong at one of those colleges. And I can't wait to be somewhere that I actually feel I belong. I've felt that I belong here less and less since I've gotten back from Chattanooga. I feel like other than my family and a choice few, no one here understands me anymore. Honestly, I feel like I'm outgrowing this place. As much as I'm scared about college, I'm so excited to go and experience new routines, new people, new ideas, new places. I've been surrounded by the same things since I was in elementary school, and while it's given me a strong foundation, it's time for me to branch out. Alright, that's all the insight my little brain can handle for now. On another note, as of Wednesday, I'm 17. Party. | | |
| So today has been... interesting. I didn't get up until around.. erm.. 1:30 in the afternoon. Heh. But then I got ready and had lunch, went and picked up my check, got my check cashed, got my oil changed, found out that I need to get my serpentine belt (whatever that does) replaced which is going to run me around $50, came home, got semi lost going to my aunt's house, watched her get drunk and dance to Persian music, found out that my puppy got parvo but fought it off, got semi lost coming home, and came home to Chris safeguarding our room against the yellowjacked infestation in the wall. Yay! But I'm coming home on the 5th. So that's good news. Also in good news I bought Marie a birthday gift today and Tyler a birthday card. I went in this little shop above the deli and couldn't resist them. They are different, and both very fitting. Party. =) More bad news is that I have not even begun my summer work. Poop. I'll do that while everyone else and their mother is at band camp. Maybe I'll take a break and bring everyone popsicles. Party! Well, I hope to talk to everyone soon! Hope your endeavors go better than mine! Love all. | | |
| I'm very proud of myself. I made a 5 on my AP English Lang & Comp test! Hooray! College credit for me!
I come home for good on August 4. So start your calendar countdowns!
*Edit* Xanga makeover. I was unhappy with the last layout. | | |
| To Whom It May Concern:
I am home today. Show me the love.
P.S. 1570 Days I've had this thing.. Damn. | | |
| A "name meaning" website said this of me. I don't know if this is right or not. It's one of those things that you kind of have to get other people to tell you whether or not its true.
- Although the name Rachel creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it causes procrastination, lack of confidence, and the inability to realize your goals and ambitions.
- This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the fluid systems, and worry or mental tension.
- As Rachel you are rather serious-minded, responsible, and stable.
- You have the gift of tact and diplomacy, and possess a charming, easy-going nature which endears you to others.
- You have a serious desire to understand the heart and mind of everyone, and could be very effective in a career or in volunteer work where you are handling people and serving in a humanitarian way.
- This name also gives you a love of home and family, and as a parent you would likely be fair and understanding.
I know atleast that I think the last two are semi-true. *shrugs* | | |
