Last week I finally got my car back from the accident. Then it turns out that the hose that connects the power steering fluid reservoir to the engine was rubbing up against a belt, so that got a hole in it... but they were very sweet when I took it back and they replaced the hose while I played Wolfenstein on my iPhone for about an hour. I've been putting a lot of my books up for sale on ebay recently, I need the money plus I'm never gonna read those books again, I have no more room left in my drawers for more. I love books but honestly I just have too many and it's becoming an odd obsession. Ebay is also saving me a ton of money because I found a replacement AC adapter for my laptop for like $15 as opposed to going through Toshiba to get one for twice as much... that is if they still have them. Other than the obvious "pain" of going to physical therapy three times a week I'm doing fairly well, summer is moving slowly I don't care what everyone else says, although I prolly only feel this way because I'm looking forward to next year for quite a few reasons =) |

Here comes my period posting. I say period because I usually only post once a month. The skating show was good, a bunch of the little ones kept calling me "single ladies" because that was part of our song. It's like every year I get a nickname... first it was Princess Fiona, then it was Ariel, now it's Single Ladies. I don't really feel compelled to say anything so I'm not sure if I should stop here or venture on. I don't post that often so I'm tempted to go on, but I'm afraid of what might happen if I try to think of something to say. I should be doing homework. There. I said it. Post over. See you next month. |

AAAAIIIIEEEEE MOTHERLOVIN SNOW DAY! I am celebrating with hot chocolate and toast and facebook and livejournal and food network. I straightened my hair yesterday without thinking about the forecast, we'll see what happens. I'm able to wear hats when my hair is straight so it might work out. I have my AIM "Snow" away message up. If you don't have AIM this is what is says... "And so it came to pass when the Lord spaketh unto the clouds saying "There shall be snow upon this day, so Reach can roll around in it like a doggie" and it was so. And all was good in the eyes of the Lord. And Reachie too." My birthday is coming up and I don't know why I'm excited. I think I'm just used to being excited because I get to eat crabs, drink some boh (ok not boh, maybe some bud, boh is just piss water mixed with poo) and eat cake. I usually get pretty awesome gifts too but it's not the gifts really... it's def the food. I can forgo the gifts if need be. I want to go to Friendly's on my birthday so I get free ice cream haha I should just walk around the mall on my birthday and see what free stuff I can get. I'm not even asking for mature gifts like useful things, I asked for guitar hero and the legend of zelda for my nintendo ds. I apologize to everyone who replied to my last journal entry, as you can see I rarely come on LJ, I never check the email that I signed up to LJ with either. I'll try harder to respond next time because I don't like to ignore people and I don't want anyone to feel ignored. This entry has no real purpose so I'm getting a little lost. That's usually a good time to end it. |

Today is Mommy's birthday! Which means less than a month until (dum dum da DUMMMMM) my birthday. Which is on Friday the 13th. If I didn't have such an awesome yesterday I might actually be worried about this. I suppose I should update on myself since quite a lot has changed since last month. 1) I quit Staples (they stopped scheduling me pending a phone call or something retarded, so I just stopped going) I miss some people, but I'm facebook/myspace/lj friends with most of them anyway. 2) I picked up more hours at Rice (school job) and I am being promoted and given a raise. Note that I am still making less money than I did at Staples, but I don't have to drive an hour to get there and an hour to get back, I live 30 feet from the building and I am above all appreciated for what I do. Bonus: My resume is gonna be THE SHIT when I'm done. 3) I stopped going to physical therapy because my body is "in the normal range of motion" but I still get back pain/weakness and stuff so I'm gonna have to figure that one out soon. 4) Mike and I are HAVING A BABY 5) Just kidding... Mike is actually the one having a baby. I'm not quite sure how/where it's going to come out though anatomy-wise. He keeps craving sweet pickles and butter pecan ice cream so it's kind of annoying going to the grocery store all of the time... but I love him anyway. 6) Have I mentioned that I really haven't been sleeping? 7) School is going fairly well, I'm taking this awesome self defense class so if any of you decide to attack me I may actually have a chance of surviving. My senior seminar class is going to kill me because I can't get any NPOs to respond to me and I have to have this proposal in by next Saturday. Other than that I love all of my classes and my professors are awesome. Notre Dame is awesome. I have yet to have any doubts that my transfer here was the best decision I could make. (Just wait til the bill comes in) |

My mom and I just got back from Yia Yia's Bakery, which I now admit is my new favorite place. They have galaktoboureko! I'm surprised I spelled that correctly the first time... anyway it's my favorite greek dessert EVAR, especially when Mike's Papou (grandfather) makes it. Greek Easter is seriously the best holiday ever. Yia Yia's is awesome, they also have a deli and serve subs and salads. http://www.yiayiasbakery.com I wanna get some crepes next time cause they use nutella =) Mike's birthday was quite uneventful, I bought him a bottle of Stoli as part of his gift and we drank. For the rest I'm just gonna buy him new sexy clothes or something. (By sexy I mean stylish, he likes when I pick out his clothes because I only wanna make him look good) If you ever want to get a good vodka and have the money I highly recommend Stoli, it is smooth and packs quite a punch so you don't need a whole lot. I was doing really well the past few months with my food consumption and my spending, oh well it's the holidays. |

Christmas was good. Williamsburg with Mike and his parents was... interesting. MIKE AND I STOPPED AT SONIC ON THE WAY BACK! We seriously need a Sonic in Maryland. I'm waiting for Mike to come over because it's his birthday and he seriously hasn't told me what he wants for dinner. Mike's parents got me a 4gb MP3 player for Christmas which was like... the shock of my life. I think that makes me the favorite now? Mike bought me a Nintendo DS holder, it even comes with little pouches for the games! It's the exact one that I wanted too! Squee! I'm so excited. The BIG gift (so to speak, I guess the main gift?) was a pair of diamond earrings that are oh so shiny. He always picks out the best jewelry for me. What was your favorite Christmas gift? |

I really need to empty my trash can. I mean. Really. I'm barely ever home, and when I am I only have time to accumulate trash, not discard it. It's almost the end of the semester and I am super excited because this means I get to sleep! The Christmas Tea at church is this Saturday. I get to go to Williamsburg after Christmas! Then next month is Elijah's 1st birthday! I get to go to the NEWSEUM! and I get to NETWORK MY BUTT OFF IN WASHINGTON DC! I would get excited about Christmas in this entry, but that is enough to fill many more entries that I don't have time to make. Now I must go to physical therapy. |

I was talking to my advisor the other day about my classes for next semester and I figured this much out... If I dropped my second major I could graduate in the spring. If I keep my second major then all of those classes that I've already taken for it were a waste of my time... but then I wouldn't graduate til spring '10. You know what? I'm down with that. I want that second major. Plus I have enough credits for the Italian Minor so I just need to declare that. I mean seriously... I'd have a BA in Computer Information Systems and International Studies... with a minor in Italian. Hello, Mr. Really-Sweet-Job-If-The-Economy-Picks-Up-B Now here's the stupid thing, I really wanna do grad school. It is almost a necessity these days, and I can totally see it kicking me in the butt if I don't get ahead of the curve and go for it. Also, if I wanna work in the government(I want to be a super secret international spy of course) I'm gonna need to get more schoolins. Hi, My Name is Rachael, I'm a Super Secret International Spy who is going to kick your butt now. |

Right now I'm generally sad, I think it's because that most wonderful feeling in the world has alluded me for about a month now. (Plus I have cramps and that's never fun) I'm talking about sleep. Sleep is blissful and amazing. It's my time away from the world. POO! I say, to the old scared rabbit who took it away from me. I don't know what else to say about it because it's just an unfortunate event. Plus I can't exactly get my sleep back by being a bitch about it. I just find it ultimately sickening because I constantly have to remind my professors and everyone else of my physical limits. People don't think of me any differently, but I duno if that's a blessing or a curse. The pain and discomfort is not noticeable (I don't want it to be, I hate getting sympathy unless I need it) so I guess people think that I'm faking it. I'm not slacking because I'm lazy, things just aren't panning out for me right now. Here's another frustration... I have a lot more to write, but I have to go to physical therapy before work. All I need do is get a good night's sleep, and I'm sure my attitude will change dramatically. |

Okay so I haven't updated in a while. Someone ran into my car the day before labor day and now they want total it. For a while it seemed like everything was falling apart but by the sheer grace of God I am staying afloat in school. Can't really say the same for anything else. I really don't know what else to say. Life kinda... sucks right now. I'm not down about it, I'm just frustrated. |

I am so excited! I am in the Outer Banks and I have WIRELESS INTERNET! I am pathetic for being so excited about that. We are like 20 yards from the ocean, and there is a door in our room leading to a lovely deck where I can sit and read. Or type ^_- I have taken 50 pics so far so be prepared come next week I will have an insane amount of pictures for you to look at. |

I would just like to say that I accomplished something wonderful... I got my mom hooked on caramel macchiatos. Before I got the espresso machine she wouldn't really drink coffee. She never had a Starbucks either. I duno if I can go back to Starbucks after this though, I make coffee that really suits my preferences. Plus their espresso is always bitter. |

I FINALLY got Mike to go to an Orioles game with me. He's convinced that something bad is going to happen to him every time he goes downtown. Well nothing happened and we had a wonderful time. We also ate like 4 trays of food(they were all-you-can-eat seats) and drank a buttload of soda. http://reachie.shutterfly.com |

So I finally got the pics of my highlights up. And of the flowers that Mike gave me for 4th of July. http://reachie.shutterfly.com I really wasn't in the mood to crop them or anything and I just kinda randomly picked ones out of the 50 million that I took. I think the fluorescent-type lighting makes it look more blond than it really is. I am on my 3rd Frappuccino of the day right now. I bought some peppermint extract and made a simple syrup so that I could make Mint Mocha Frappuccinos. My mom isn't really particular to mint so she decided to complain. "It smells like Dad's toothpaste in here." I know, but at least this tastes better. Michelle is coming up to visit for the weekend! I'm so excited because I haven't seen her in a couple months, and nothing really all that great has happened this summer. I think we're going down to Little Italy to see whatever is playing there, and then sometime this weekend we're going to see The Dark Knight. I've already seen it, but there is nothing wrong with seeing it again ^_- |

I am in love with my new espresso machine. I am excited at the prospect of saving money, so I invested in an appliance that will get me through this next semester. (My classes start every day at 8am) Instead of paying $4 every time I want a caramel macchiato I can just make one at home. For the espresso machine, coffee bean grinder, coffee beans, vanilla syrup, milk, and caramel I spent about $60 total. The first cup made it ALL worth it. Of course then I'd just be taking a $56 loss... so then I made another cup. Although the time and gas I would have spent to get to Starbucks (even though it's right up the street) is incalculable. Ha. I just used a very fun and difficult-to-say-very-quickly word. Go ahead... try it. Never mind, I'll save you the trouble and tell you that it comes out "in-cow-able". And that... well I won't get into that word. I still can't find the cord for my digicam to get those pics up here. Oooh I went to BB&B the other day w/ my mom because I got this coupon in the mail. (I'm always getting coupons from them) Of course I ended up spending way more than I was planning to. But I wasn't exactly buying things that are going to last maybe a day or so, I bought this stackable shelf thing to organize stuff. I mainly bought it for my dorm room because my closet was a mess last year, but it's working out nicely in the basement. Mike and I saw The Dark Knight on Friday. It was amazing. I'd go on about it but then my journal entry would be much longer than I'd like, and you would have stopped reading after the 7th paragraph. Go see it... now? |

I got my hair highlighted yesterday. I would have pictures to show but I can't find the cord that connects my camera to the computer, but I did find the button that fell off of my jeans a couple weeks ago. I lose something every time I move to or from the dorm. At least my hair looks good =) Not that it didn't before, it just looks different now. Very blonde. Of course Mike didn't say a damn thing about it. He didn't last time either. He noticed right away when I wore a pair of jeans that were a slightly different shade. At least I know what's on the forefront of his mind. |

Eek! They're all over the couch. I'm sitting on the couch. Now I am well aware that a bug could actually. literally. crawl up my butt. But wouldn't that just make me fit in with the world a lot more? Maybe I should put some Utz on my shirt? Cause in addition to having a bug up my butt I'll also have a chip on my shoulder. I'd prolly end up dipping it into some sour cream and eating it though. Mmmm Haha that would make a great photo. A super greasy potato chip sitting on my shoulder, and me trying to eat it. Cause I'm a fatty just waiting to escape the confines of a decent looking body. |

Copy Center always undergoes a major change during the summer. It's never for the better either. This week has been so impossible. Several major fuckups on top of me being suckered into working an 11 hour shift. Some days I really enjoy my job, but this week has made me realize that I can enjoy working anywhere as long as I'm not dealing with the general public. Plus, Copy Center is no future... that isn't a career. Anyone who makes a retail Copy Center their career is in for a real amount of unnecessary stress. |

Whenever it comes around the time I should be making a journal entry I just don't feel up to it. I love to talk and all but honestly do I really want to look back on this stuff when I'm older? Yeah. Will I be ashamed? Hopefully not. Which is why the entry ends here. I am preventing myself from future embarrassment. I can thank me later. |

Last weekend was the skating show. I didn't get a chance to really choreograph the ending to my solo so I made it up every night. It was interesting. I got flowers from Mike, and Jeannie gave me a rose... and of course Katie gave out the fake flowers. I love em cause they last forever. |

It's amazing what switching schools can do. Nothing but good news in the school dept. i love it here I Love It Here I LOVE IT HERE! My midterm grades rock! Four A's and one B. My GPA has skyrocketed since I left Towson. It's crazy stupid how much fun I'm having. I didn't know that college was supposed to be this fun. The only thing that's kinda pissing me off is that I fell at work and I feel like my body is taking forever to get over it. I am so stiff and sore. WHITE MARSH SKATING SHOW IS NEXT WEEKEND! I am ecstatic. |
