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.

*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!

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.
