Graduation was...

Graduation was on the 7th, but I am going to talk about it now.
There was a lot of photography. Most of the photos my mother took. Which is totally great because I wouldn't have them on Facebook now, if she was so persistent. There are over 500 pictures for graduation 2010.

That's me with my silly face!

So there weren't any butterflies in my stomach. There weren't any jitters. I wasn't nervous at all before the ceremony or during. The jitters came right before they called my name. I mean I wasn't nervous, I was over excited. Over excited with content and relief and every positive (non-sexual) feeling in the world. The ceremony was approximately a hour and a half. There were many speeches. My principle tried to crack some jokes, only the PTA laughed. And I believe they laughed because they knew no one else would. After all that stuff (speeches, awards, honorable mentions, recognition), they started calling the names. By the way I was the fourth girl to graduate. How cool? Yes it was. And once I got my fake diploma I shouted out to the audience "WOOOHOO!!!!!". I am very special person, becuase I am the only one expressed my happiness everyone else just smiled for the camera and went back to their seat. What a bunch of boring people. Oh well. There was one guy who did chest bump our principal, but it was in the script. And another guy who kissed our principal's head, but it was evident... Okay yeah I think I am done for today.
I am burning daylight. Peace out homies! And comment please.

Memorial Day

Hello my lovers,
So how was your weekend? Was it good? Mine was AMAZING!!!!
You may ask why? Well let me tell you why. First off I went to Harrisburg,Pennsylvania for the weekend. I am apart of this youth organization and three times a year we all meet up from different sections of the Atlantic Region. Mainly Maryland and Pennsylvania.So with in these two states, we have the Greater Washington chapter, the Baltimore chapter, the Philadelphia chapter. there are many different types of mini chapters in between. Anyways why would you care about this? Because I do. And I was one of the chapter Presidents for the Greater Washington chapter. How cool right? I know I am so special. And a bit conceited, apparently.
I went to Hershey Park!!!!!! I t was so much fun. I sat in the front of Storm runner and in front on Fahrenheight and in the middle(lame) of Tidal Force , which is the coolest water ride ever because no mater where you sit or stand on the bridge you get completely soaked. By the way I can't spell. It';s so sad. Then I got some henna yeah.. then I bought a hot dog then this and that and this and then that bla bla bla. Does this remind you of a Ke$ha song. side note....

Then out of no where came the drama storm and it was BADDDD.Look at my two headed goldfish. neat-o! I love DISTRACTIONS!

So this weekend went pretty smoothly , emphasis on the smooth, until dun dun dun!!! our chapter coordinator decided to tell our whole region(approximately 200 people or so. That we have a new President for the up coming year. Which was a total shocker. It didn't affect me as much as it did my co-president. Because I am graduating in a week so I won't even be here next year. (By the way this youth group is only for high school). It was... um.. how do I explain this? Well first off the new president was supposedly best friends with my co-president, who is also my best friend. So on his(new president) part he was a shitty friend not telling her(former president). It ruined a beautiful night that could have been. And so I decided to try to help , support her, you know what friends do for one another. But I truly believe it's our coordinators fault. It was so embarrassing and he(douchbag of a coordinator) is messed up anyways, My thoughts are going to be scattered in this blog by the way. I really hate drama. So yeah. I don't know what more to say. basically friendships were broken. trust doesn't actually exist in life. And bad people should be in hell.
Wow that felt good to write and spread on the world wide web. Yay!!!!!!

Okay enough about this topic. New topic!
So I just got a text from the drama people I mentioned above.Blarg!!! (that is the sound or frustrated human being)
new topic please...
By the way let me just say I love the fact that I got comments on my last blogs!!!! I feel special. you know how you get that special feeling inside and you never want it to leave? Yeah that's how I feel and I don't want it to go away. So don't stop commenting!!!! Or else I will find you and hunt you down... Maybe... I am feeling kind of lazy right now.

Also in later news, I have a car! I know I am soooooooooooooooo (emphasis on the "sooooooooooooo") happy. But I truly feel responsible to drive with out parental guidance. I may be a late bloomer, but I am thankful. Even though I have had my license for almost more than a year. Sarcasm.

Oh I want to try something:

SoOoOoOoOo...

Hello fellow people,
My internship is complete and now I am sad. I really loved working with those smarty tarty kids. I made so many friends. Even though they all were three and four year old, I truly believe that they are my friends.

Hmmmm... What should I blog about?
Oh by the way I'm going to Hershey Park this weekend that should be fun. I am pretty pumped. Seeing all my buds from near and far.I love Hershey! I love chocolate! I love roller coasters! My weekend is set. I am also attending a banquet, getting a few awards.

WOW!!! The lights just went out for a sec. It's storming over here on the east coast.
I have an idea I am going to ramble on and on and on and on and on and on.....

I like Pandas!... Yeah only one person may agree with me.. or many.. let's find out...and a good way to find out is if you all comment.
Comments are nice even if they are mean because until I read the actually comment I see how many I receive and it makes me feel special for the split second. So leave your thoughts in the comment box below.. I think I will also post another poll. So yeah. I love all my readers.

That's all folks!

it's been a long while.

Hello. it's been 3 months or so. What has happened in the past three months you may ask? Well, a lot. I turned 18 about two months ago! WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! eh the excitement only lasted about a week. I was so excited to become a legal adult, but then I realized it wasn't much different then what I was doing before. My lifestyle was pretty packed. Anyways, for all you minors out there turning 18 isn't as cool as it seems. Now I have to register to vote for President and I could care less about politics and the government. I just have no interest in political science at all. Also I can purchase tobacco products and lottery tickets. Whoop di do! I bought 2 lottery tickets and a carton of cigarettes. The cigarette carton is still not opened and I didn't win the lottery. I could also buy porn, if I wanted. But I didn't. Last time I checked I wasn't a pre-pubescent teen age boy. I checked this morning. I haven't yet gone to a night club yet, but that is something I would like to do.
I also recently just started my internship. I work at a preschool as an assistant teacher. with 3,4 and 5 year olds. are you wondering if that's what I to do in life as a career. No. Well not really straight on early childhood development per se. But I wanted to be a doctor. Family Practice. And who do you think my first costumers are going to be? Children, young children!!! The kids I work with are so cute.. And so smart. How many of your children, if you have any ages3 - 5,can count to 100? Or want to read bigger books other than Sam I Am or Hop On Pop. These kids want to read mystery books Like Detective Dinosour. ha ha ha.. Well they are a different generation, than what I was, but When I was their age I only read Dr. Seuss.
By the way, getting off on tangent, but did anyone see DATE NIGHT, with Steve Carrell and Tina Fey? Hilarious!!!!!!!!! I recommend every one seeing it.
Look at the time, I need to run to work. My little kiddies are waiting for me.. I think I'll play doctor or blocks! :)
Thank you all for reading my Blog I will try to be more consistent.
Love you!!!!!!!!!!!

Let it snow!!!!

Hello snow bunnies and gents.
It snowed haven't you all noticed. The total for today is 28 inches of cold snow! That's a lot of snow! In the news it's called the snow storm of the decade. There hasn't been this much snow forever. It is so nice and fluffy, but I can't get out the house. I have been trapped in my house for 2 days so far. I would like to get out soon. Tomorrow I am most likely going to shovel the driveway and get out and do something besides lounge around and watch TV.
I actually have a lot of school assignments that I have been pushing off for a while. When would be a good time to start these. Well, the fact that they are about a month overdue, tells me I should probably start:Right. Now. ish.
I don't really want to do this, but I have an obligation to write up a proposal for my Senior research paper, otherwise I can't graduate high school. That would be bad, because I really just want to get to college already.
I want to become a doctor. I think I already mentioned that before, but I really do want to, so in order to get there I need to go to college.
OK. So what's for dinner? Hmm. How about pasta? With roasted tomatoes, seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground cracked black pepper. And we need some meat to go with it or tofu! I made some yummy ginger glazed tofu yesterday! Now I am not a vegetarian, but I will eat almost anything. I actually used to be a vegetarian for six years, and I wouldn't mind going back, I liked it, but I kind of like chicken at the moment.
Well,that's all for today. I want to say thank you to the comment that you like my painting. Yes it took me about a month to paint that. Don't forget to leave comments.
Lots of love.

This is The Rachel Report.

Feburary 4th was yesterday.

I painted this. Look how talented I am? :D
Hey people who read this stuff by me!
I should have posted yesterday because yesterday would've been exactly one month before I become 18! How exciting? VERY. No one has commented on my blogs except for my mom and two other people who I happen to know. Yes my mom is the one who leaves the long comments, some that are longer then my blog entry itself. I don;t know what to blog about today. I just wanted to let you know that I will be legal in less than a month. That's all.

Leave a comment if you want my opinion on something. Anything! Everything!

It's been a while

What has been going down?
I know it's been a while since I last wrote an entry, but I've been very busy and looking into to possible plans for next year. The upcoming school year is either going to be spent in college or a year abroad studying different cultures. I would prefer the second one just because this would be a positive life changing experience. I would like to live on my own, or at least with a couple room mates. I also realized that I now know what I want my true profession to be. I want to become a doctor. What kind of doctor you may ponder? Well I want to be a Family Practice doctor. You know the one who you go to see every yea for your annual check-up. Yeah, so that what I want to be. Want to know how much schooling and requirements I have to accomplish for this title and position? So, first I need to go to a four year college/university. And I have to take transferable classes for medical school. That will include many science courses. Then after I graduate from the four year basic college I will be about 22 years old, then I will go to medical school for another four years. When I finish that I will have my PHD (YAY!!!). So I will be about 26 years old by then.( The are many tests and papers I will have to complete, that is all included with the schooling) Not bad Rachel. Then after that , there's more, I would have to do an internship for about a year to three years working most likely in a hospital with other new doctors. So the time I will be able to be the Family Practice doctor you go to see once a year I will be about 29 or 30. Which actually isn't that bad. My salary will be very nice ;). I think it will be worth it in the end.

Well I have homework tonight still so I'm done for now. I will update more when I feel like it or when you give me a topic to discuss.
Feel free to leave comments. I love reading them.

I had a good weekend.

Hello!

This past weekend I went to Towson University. I stayed at my friend's off campus apartment. But it was still close enough to walk to campus. I got a really nice tour lead by her and her friend. I want to keep my options open for college, so spending the weekend there was a great experience.

I haven't updated this blog in a couple days, I just been so busy (a.k.a. too lazy to write). I think my blogging schedule will change from daily to weekly. Or when ever I have something interesting to talk about. If you were to give me ideas it would be a lot easier for me to starting writing about what I think on the topic. A mind only has so many ideas before they need reinforcements. So if you give me a topic that you want my opinion on feel free to leave a comment explaining the desired topic of your choice. I have an opinion about anything and everything. All I need is your ideas.
So this is about it for tonight. Don't forget to give me a topic and I promise to give you my honest opinion on it.

This is The Rachel Report.

Hello Everyone

Hello everyone who reads this thing called a blog.

So today I will be talking about something interesting. About dating, online dating, flings, hook ups, relationships, chat rooms and so forth.Sounds great. I originally didn't ever want to get into this topic, but I didn't know what to write today. So I was talking to my friend and he told me that this would be a fun topic to talk about. I don't think so, but whatever I will. So you want to know the 411 on what I think about this? Well there's a lot to say. I don't even know where to begin. OK I thought of something! Let's start with dating, regular dating where you meet the person in person. That seems to make sense. Well how does that start? Does it start out as friends? I mean what gets you interested in a person? Some people say it's a person's strengths or it's their flaws. There is personality which is the social make up of a person. But that shouldn't be the only reason. There should be many other reasons. Honesty and confidence are key. Successful relationships are built on the right morals. I know that sounds sappy, but it's true. If a relationship is all physical then, when the fun is over what else is there to look forward to? The next hook up? Yeah, that can be fun for a while, but then when you realize that's all it is it can become dreary, don't you think? Then you are going to want to move on to something more exciting the next big thing. So then there's the break up. The break up is always a drag no matter who is dumping who. Wasn't I talking about good relationships? OK so good relationships should be fun, not too serious at first. It should be like a game, you just want to get to the next level and next. And if you loose the game, all you got to do is start over, but with someone new and better. Just like buying a better version of the game. Let's say you were playing Mario Bros, now you would play Guitar Hero. See it's as easy as pie. But pie isn't that easy, it takes time before the pie is ready and so does a healing heart. Wow look at all these metaphors, I'm on a roll. What's next? I really want to change topics, but I won't. Relationship, that's about all I think. What about online dating? That's kinda creepy. I mean you can't see the person through the other side. Unless of course video chatting. It's all bogus. You don't really get to know someone for real just over the computer. You can find out their interests and hobbies and likes and dislikes and turn-ons and turn-offs, but is that what it's about? I think it can be fun for a while, but what do you do the rest of the time. Don't want a real hug and a real kiss? Someone to hold you in their arms for real? All these false promises made through the cyber world is very depressing in the end. It has to be tangible if it's going to be something; meaningful. What about flirting? That's fun. It depends on the person, though. Some people are good at captivating their potential lover, but what about the shy or socially awkward people? Well, those people are the ones who retreat back to their computer or just give up and wait for someone will come too them first. To be honest, I'm kind of like that. When I like a person, it's really hard for me to communicate with them, so I either wait for them to come to me or it never happens. Now, if i don't have any interest in them, only for physical enjoyment or friendship then I am able very confidently to approach them. I know it's so weird, seriously Rachel why can't there be a balance? Well there can't. And that's just that.When I do get into relationships, I naturally become more prude, than I usually am. I like to get to know the person for who they are and not just what they want from me. I guess it's because I want them to see me for me and not just the physicalities. I also like the sweet little things, some of which may or may not be cheesy. Effort is the best, if a guy puts in a lot of effort to keep me, then I see it and I like it, unless of course the guy is a total creeper, who stalks me and won't stop talking to me 24/7. That is the biggest turn off. I need my space, too. I am very independent and like to keep it that way. I mean, I have friends who are in relationships and sometimes I wish I had that, but I know that he will come to me, I don't have to go looking for him. It's like I live in two different worlds. One, family and friendship values, thinking about the future seriously, striving for the best, for what I truly want deep down inside. And the other, is the definition of Hedonism, almost. I like to enjoy life. The enjoyment of meeting many people, attending parties, living a fun, care free lifestyle, is also a great aspect of my life.

OK. Now it's time for a new topic, this one is getting too touchy-feely. Tomorrow will be my last midterm exam. YIPPIE! Let's not get confused with the militant hippie group against the government during the 1960s. Yep. So I'm all out of topics for now, because I used all my energy for the previous one. So that's all for today, I hope you enjoyed!

Please feel free to comment! Oh before I forget thank you to anyone I may have asked for their opinions referring to the "romantic" topic. Yes, I asked some friends' opinions to help me think about this particular topic.

I feel special.

Hello my dear readers.

I feel special. I make sure all my friends read my blog at least once, and if they like it they continue to read it daily. This makes me happy because most of my friends who have read it, say positive comments to me in person. It's that good feeling everyone wants to feel. That's good. Who is this?

So today I had review sessions for my upcoming midterms this week. I only have four more to go. After tomorrow I will have only 2 left. I can't wait until Thursday when it's all over.
This is going to be a short blog entry. I have major studying to do today for tomorrow's exams.
If I finish and I am not too tired I will post a longer entry with my honest opinions and deep topics that sometimes I can't even finish the point I was trying to make when I started them. Ciao for now.

This is The Rachel Report.

hello all!

Hello!
Sunday rhymes with Monday and that's what tomorrow will be. Which means school.. yay... OK not really, but at least I will be learning something constructive in my time right? Right. I have to say right because we, students, are supposed to be learning something that will benefit our lives and help us when we reach the real world. Technically we are in the real world already. We are alive. Check. We are able to start working, part-time anyways. Check. We can control everything we do. Check. So what are they preparing us for again? Oh right for college. That's why all these overloading assignments are piled on to use before we graduate. The faculty wants to give us as much work as they can before time is up. It's like a race against time and all the teachers are trying to compete against each other and see which one can give more work to us before the whistle is blown. Let's see what I have on my agenda from now until I graduate. Daily in-school work. Daily homework, assignments and projects. Internship. Senior paper. Researching a topic for my paper. Researching the material for the topic for my paper. Finishing the paper before the internship starts. Have I ever mentioned I'm a procrastinator? Probably haven't. Well I am. So I haven't really started on any of these. And I realize that's not so good. I will get to everything eventually, though.

I went to the mall today. I browsed around. It was a nice experience. I also saw Avatar(I know it came out like a month ago, but I never really intended on seeing it because I am not much of an alien sci-fi person). And it was such a great movie. Like wow. This movie better win some kind of award. It was fantastic, and surreal. "I see you" Wow the bond between Jake Sulley and Netiri was so strong and unbreakable. I cried at the end of the movie when Netiri runs into the portable and saves Jake helps him back to like by putting on that breathing mask. She revives him to life. That movie was not what I expected at all. No wonder the box office is still sold out with with in 20 minutes or so before the movie begins. If you haven't seen Avatar yet, go see it! That's a command. It was so brilliant beyond words. Go see it!

I have to prepare for exams this week so I will be ending this entry right now. :)

January 16, 2010

Hello to all my readers out there in the world, who read.
Today is January 16, 2010. Is there anything significant about today. Well it has been a very peaceful Saturday. And that's about it.Tomorrow is Sunday. I will be reading the Sunday comics. And it will be very amusing and that's about it, as I know so far because unfortunately I can't read the future. I don't have that capability. I know it's sad. Wouldn't it be so cool to be able to see into the future? I think so and I'm sure other people would like to possess that ability as well. But that would defeat the existence of time. Time itself works in mysterious ways. If you think about it knowing what your going to do next before you decide defeats the concept of free will. But then again if you know that your about to make a mistake, then you can prevent it from happening. It a very deep topic, I don't have enough learning experience to really get into this. I also don't want to discourage anyone's beliefs. I don't want to get on the topic of God or deism*. That itself is a very controversial topic. OK. New topic.

My friend called me today and told me there was a rumor that Johnny Depp died. What a horrific rumor, that someone spread. He is such a great actor on so many levels that it would be a very tragic fact if it were true. I was glad when I later heard it was false. But isn't off that all of a sudden many celebrities are dying recently. When I say recently I mean with in the past five years or so. I mean let's count back Anna Nicole Smith died 2007 at age 39. Heath Ledger died 2008 at age 28. The King of Pop, Michael Jackson died 2009 at age 50. Brittany Murphy died 2009, at age 32. Now I won't mention all the celebrities that died in the past several years, but it's like who's next? I grew up watching these stars and it seems so unreal when you hear they ended; literally. And if you analyze it, it was the same reason. What do all these celebrities have in common besides that they no longer are here on planet Earth? Drugs. They have so much money and they spend it on drugs. I think this Hollywood fame just too stressful. So much paparazzi following them all the time. Tabloid magazines always trying to find their latest scandal. Yes, it can be interesting to read and gossip about, but what about how they feel. They have the most pressure of all. They either try to keep a good reputation in front of the camera or show indifference and just do what they want to do: party with booze and drugs. The message I am trying to convey is one that will persuade paparazzi and other obsessed, crazed fans to give celebrities a break. In my opinion, I truly believe that is one of the major reasons, they take their own lives. They don't mean to attempt suicide, they use the drugs to calm down and relax from reality. They just over do it and OD**. They can't deal with the pressure, stress and anxiety.

This is all for tonight. I will be retreating to my sleeping quarters soon. Good night to all and shall sweet dreams come to you. If you are reading this and it is morning or afternoon, or evening but your not going to sleep now or anytime soon, then when you do decide to take a slumber may it be a peaceful one.
Quick side thought. Do you ever wonder why there is a difference in the word "evening" and the word "night"? OK so you say "good evening" as a greeting and you say "good night" as a farewell.. just a thought. Think about it.
Don't forget to comment or ask me anything that is on your minds. I'm referring to you, yes you the person who is reading this now. Well do what you please, because I have no control over that. I wish I did though. :)

*A belief in a god of nature -- a noninterventionist creator -- who permits the universe to run itself according to natural laws.- That's Google's opinion anyways.
OD** if you aren't abbreviation friendly it means "over dose"

Friday finally!!!

What do you think about this picture? This picture is very interesting, don't you think? It looks like a girl who became obsessed will sprinkles! If she licked her lips, would she get a sugar high? Probably not. I'm just rambling. I don't know what to write. I posted this picture to try to get me thinking of what else to write about. I mean in like a paragraph or two I will being complaining about my day, as usual. So that will be good. I guess, WOW I have nothing to say. How am I supposed to get to the next paragraph if I can't even finish this one. Well, for one, I will just keep rambling until I run out of rambles to write.

OK. Let's talk about my day. So this morning I had my English exam. Another two hour exam. This time, instead of taking two hours and fifteen minutes to finish it took me two hours and a half. And a half? Where did people who invented the language of English decide that you can just say "and a half", half of what? I mean we know it means half of an hour; thirty minutes. But why do people become so lazy that they just say "half". I don't know and probably won't know. Well, you can give me your opinion and I'll just criticize you or not. It's up to you to post the comment or not. And maybe I won't criticize you, maybe I'll agree with you, won't that be nice? I bet it would.I'm talking complete nonsense.I tend to talk about nonsensical topics when I'm sick. Would you like to know why I'm sick? Why I'm tired? Why I'm writing today if I'm sick, you may think in your minds? Well, this morning around two I saw my bed. And it was so nice. I barely got any sleep, though, because I was forced up around six. It is not healthy to only have four hours of sleep right before an exam. So now I'm a bit under the weather and hating it. I feel lethargic and I have a bit of a stuffy nose. I kind of sound like a mooing cow when I talk. If that's even possible. Sounds so wonderful. I know right! But to look on the bright side it's FRIDAY! Which means tonight and tomorrow I will be sleeping. Which also means when I do finally wake up I will update on here. I will tell you my dreams! Doesn't that sound enticing? Oh, I know I will not leave a single detail out, well as much as I can remember anyways.

This is going to be another short report by me of me because I am too tired to keep writing. But before I leave... Oh darn! I forgot what I was going to say. OK, so I wrote "But before I leave" then I switched tabs because I got an IM, then I came back and forgot what I was going to say. Oh well. That's too bad. I guess this is it for today. I can't remember still. Hmmmm.

Please feel free to give me feedback or leave comments because they will mean a lot to me. I would love to read about what people think about me and my blog. Or just me :)

Midterms= H.E. double hockey sticks

Hello lovely, lovely people who like to read, in general.
Do you think I'm too innocent for not spelling out hell in my title? That's so cute. But I am not innocent, like that anyways.
Today was a long day. To explain "long" I will do it without pausing until I finish, yes I am being repetitive. Which means no punctuation. Well it started with an exam I had two hours to complete it then I finally completed it two hours and fifteen minutes later Is that even possible no but I did it then I had a one hour break which flew by super fast then next exam same process. OK I need to punctuate from now on. I have a thing that I need to punctuate. I took English for two year in this private school and the teacher instilled this method to punctuate; now I can't live with out it. If something is incorrect grammatically I will know and I will fix it.

So now I have five more midterms to go. English is tomorrow, how ironic? Very. I really can't wait to finish the last one next Thursday. What a relief it will be, to relax and not worry about studying for anything else. Plus, second semester seniors! That's when we are allowed to slack off. At least that's what everyone else is doing. I caught a bad case of senioritis* in sophomore year. And I have had this virus still with me, but for midterms this year I actually made an effort and studied. For real. Many students, my peers, think I slack off and don't take school work seriously, but I do. Recently.

I realize that this will be another short blog entry. Due to the fact that it's one-ish and I have another exam tomorrow. But before I go I want to make a shout out to all the people who read my blog. Thank you. I am saying this not to sound even more conceited than I sometime can be, but I am saying this because one of my friends told me they read my blog religiously and I truly appreciate it. Thank you again.

Good night. Farewell. Avedazen (I can't spell). Ado. To you and you and you and you and you. Imagine the Sound of Music playing in your mind as you read.

This is The Rachel Report.

*senioritis= when a person about to graduate high school, in most cases, decides not to decide. Just to do nothing at all and doesn't care anymore about the school assignments. Symptoms to look for: sleeping in class,talking back to the instructor of assignments, rude and random comments randomly in class full volume, and any other disruptive or incompetent behaviour. If your son or daughter or both have these symptoms, then they may have a case of senioritis.

This will be short.

Hello.
Today I won't be blogging as much due to the fact that MIDTERMS start tomorrow. So I need to study very hard to do well. I need to make an effort. This is probably the first time I am making an effort for school. This is also unusual. I usually don't care for school as much as I do for my social life outside of school. Well everyone changes from time to time.

I do want to ask if anyone knows of a good diet that is easy to abide by and effective. I want to lose 10 lbs. by the end of the month. It may seem a bit drastic, but if your were carrying around extra weight, that is not necessary at all you will realize that 10 lbs. is not a lot. But it's a good start for an effective future for healthy weight loss.

This will most likely be one of my shortest blog entries yet. I don't plan to write short entries, but when any stressful event (such as midterms) occurs I won't have the energy to write anymore after countless hours of studying and reviewing over material that is most likely not so interesting.

Good Night. I will try to write more thoughts tomorrow, but I can't guarantee because I will most likely be exhausted from the two midterms I will be taking tomorrow. On Friday, however, I will make up for this short piece and blog like there's no tomorrow.

Please leave any comments or questions you feel an extreme urge to write down.Don't be shy, I won't bite... or maybe I will. :)

Another day goes by.

Hello people who read this.

What am I to write when no words or thoughts come to mind? What if people didn't think? What if people didn't think about what they do; they just did. There probably wouldn't be such a thing as morale or a conscience. How would the world work? This is a very deep, thought- provoking question. I can't even imagine a world without thoughts. How would one answer such a question? Well, for one, this person would have to be a very intelligent being. Genius. I'm sure even if you called Jimmy Neutron*, he would not be able to answer this. This is a very serious matter, in my opinion anyways. What if the world was run by Big Brother, like in the George Orwell novel, 1984. In this fictional, futuristic story, the world is run by this "Big Brother" figure, who tries to minimizes the thought of the human mind. some people in the story realize the difference and try to rebel secretly against it. The rebels who get caught go through a process of pain and brainwash, until they believe what Big Brother is doing is right, no matter what logic would say... anyways this was a great book if you want an exhilarating read.

I got off topic, didn't I?... I tend to do that, it's just that one thought leads to another and my fingers just keep typing and I get all excited and then when I reflect back, I think what a waste of thought it would be to just delete it.

Want to know one reason why I wanted to start a blog? No? Well I'm going to tell you anyways. I want to express myself. I want people to read my opinions. I want people to one day see my name and it will mean something - positive. I just want to write. What more can I say? Well honestly I could say a lot more.

Has anyone ever had an off day? Well let me tell you mine. First, I woke up and did my daily routine of "getting ready for school". This consists of waking up and getting out of bed, AND staying out of bed. I tend to roll back in bed and request a couple more minutes. Or say "yea I'm up" (when I'm still under the covers, curled up in cozy, warm blankets... ahh just like heaven. What about that phrase? "just like heaven"? I know I'm getting off topic again, but I can't help my mind from wondering. "Just like heaven" how could people say that if they never experienced heaven. Some phrases should never be taken literally. What if, hypothetically, someone wanted to actually experience heaven? If no one ever actually experienced heaven and came back and told the tale of what it's like to be in heaven, where did this phrase come from? It's obviously a metaphor, for something wonderful. What little kids are taught, is that heaven is for all the good people and hell is where the bad people go. This...., well I don't want to offend anyone's religious beliefs so I'll just drop it. Oh! I could care less of what other people think of me and my opinions. (I tend to write a lot before I actually get to my point; much more superfluity to come! :D) I believe that this heaven and hell is nonsensical.

Guess what? Time for a new topic!!!! YAY! Well it's going to just finish what I was originally going to say about my day today.
So let's just skip through breakfast and drive to school. I'm at school and BAM! a test first thing in the morning. How great is that? I know right. That went well, I had a good feeling about it, anyways. OK, the rest of the day was blah (a.k.a not important to discuss) until after lunch. After lunch is my History class, the one where I was supposed to write this argumentative essay on some controversial topic, I handed my paper to the teacher, and he handed it back to me, again. Apparently my argumentative essay didn't have an argument. At least he's trying to be nice, I got another extension: Friday. Friday also happens to be the same day as my English midterm. Can my week get any better?..but my day kept going. Today, I had my vivre** exam in Anatomy. This is actually my favorite subject, I'm not very good at speaking on the spot, so I don't know how I did. With all my joking around and dramatic pauses, the possibilities are endless of what my score may be. I'm not too worried. And that's how my school day ended, with an exam. It started with an exam and ended with an exam.
This will also be the end to my entry, for today. There will be more tomorrow!
Please feel free to leave comments or ask questions? If you want an honest opinion, I give you my word. It will be honest.
Farewell everyone.

*For those whom don't know who Jimmy Neutron is, I will tell you who he is. I used to watch Nickelodeon when I was a young child a.k.a. two years ago. Yes, occasionally I watch cartoons. That has nothing to do with Jimmy Neutron though. OK he was a super genius whiz kid. A fictional, computer animated kid.
** vivre- it's a word used in the UK, my teacher is Britsh but he expalined it as an oral examination. It sounds sexual, it this case it wasn't. The root "vi" means "live" in any language with descent to Latin. So this makes sense, that it is a live exam, a personal exam. Which involves talking in this case.

Day 2!.. eh

Hello to the people my blog interests. So today was a quite ravishing day!... -_-
Today I was actually thinking of what to write here tonight.

So I turned in my history paper, but it wasn't good enough. You want to know how I knew it wasn't good enough? Because my History teacher handed it right back to me and told me that my 5 page outline was not part of his requirements. To my dismay he was right :(. SO.. What do you think I did? I wrote the essay in his requirements as best I could. Just now. I just finished it. It's due tomorrow. And now it's 3 pages long. I feel pretty accomplished.

What else happened today? Well I ate lunch... by myself. This is a very sad thing. I usually have many friends who surround me and I feel so wanted and loved. OK that is a lie. I do have friends, they just weren't around today or busy with "their" stuff. Which I totally understand. I mean to be a little bit selfish I would rather have them to myself, obviously. Do I sound a bit conceited for writing that? Maybe I am, but who isn't now a days. I mean we all want the best for ourselves. We all are self absorbed and only want what will benefit ourselves, right? Right :)

Unfortunately, in todays' times, the world has turned into "survival of the fittest". Especially trying to get into college. Today it is very competitive to get into a good school. They only want the best. But what exactly is the "best"? Who ever get the top grades, gets first choice in what college they plan to attend. And college will most likely choose the top students. Even if a struggling student puts in so much effort and still fails college won't care for them unless they can show it on their transcripts. But what if someone is trying every hard to understand the material? and puts in as much effort as they can? and crams all night to make sure that the work they will be presenting will be top notch. And the student fails or gets a lower score than they hoped for. This event will most likely bring a student's self esteem down, to a very low level. Then they won't want to put in as much effort next time.
In my opinion, colleges should evaluate prospective students on their effort and not just the letter that appears on the report card. There are students who put in the hours and want to get accepted to the colleges of their choice, but they don't make the grade. It's not fair! I, for one, would like to receive that acceptance letter come in the mail any day now. The wait for what my future may be or not be depends on six letter word. One word is positive. ACCEPT. One word is negative. REJECT. Both words have six letters, which makes the wait even more suspenseful. Which word will it be? The stress grows more everyday. The wait becomes more exonerating everyday.
Well that's a pointless way to spend my life. Once those letters come, I think I will be fine, no matter was the conclusion is. At least the wait will be over. But then the panic starts. If the "acceptance" comes, I am bound to panic on how to register and what to buy, and who to ask advice from. How will I want to spend my college years? There are two options: party like a rock star and drop out (everything I worked for goes down the drain, along with the tuition money) or I could study very hard, join different clubs and activities and become something in life. I can become a professional! wow! *sigh*
But what if the "rejection" comes? I will most likely freak out and say something like " Oh! My life! What am I to do with myself? I don't want to live at home until I'm forty." Or I might take the positive route and apply to community college. Yup that's what I'll do, very calmly.

Well I believe this is where I will end today
Please feel free to comment or ask anything you would like my opinion. I will be here tomorrow around the same time.
Good night world!

This is The Rachel Report.

The First One

Hello people who read blogs! My name is Rachel and I just had the thought pop into my head that I want to write a blog. When I hear the word "blog" i think of online journal or diary. Yes that's what comes to mind. So that's what I will be writing about. I will try everyday to update you with every little thing that happens in my life. The good things and bad things will appear on here. I will let you enter my mind. I just want to write it all down so one day I can reflect back and say "Wow, my life is interesting, witty and full of surprises".

I have a passion for threatre. I have participated in many plays and musicals. I also love to see musicals and plays. I believe I favor musicals over plays because I also have a passion for music and dance. Recently I saw NINE in movie theatres. And it was fantastic. I went to the nearest Starbucks and bought the soundtrack. Everyday when Idrive to school I listen and sing along to it.

I live in the Washington DC area. I will become a legal adult on March 4, 2010! Yes, I am very excited to turn 18. Don't you ever wonder about the human aging process? I feel mature enough to be 18, but not biologically. Personally, I think that we should start counting the age from the moment we are conceived. Why shouldn't it count, I mean we have to sit for nine months in the womb of our mothers. At birth we loose nine months. Isn't it true that once we have a heart beat we are alive? I think so anyways.

Well that's a little intro about myself.
Please comment. If there are any topics you would like my opinion on please tell me. First off I will be flattered. And second I will give you my honestly blunt opinion. Plus I will answer anything in my next entry.
