Recent Happenings in the Life of Rachel

- I have only been in school for a week and a half and it feels like 6, hah. Not a good sign.

-Ever since Angela and I moved our beds together its like a jr high sleepover every night. SO much giggling.

- Even though our wall space is almost completely taken over by pictures, posters, flags, leaves and poetry, I feel the compulsive need to find just one more thing to add to our already magnificently overwhelming room.

- I just went to Bikram Yoga for the first time and was happy to come out alive. Okay, exaggeration, but still... yoga in over 100 degree heat is not something I would like to do on a weekly basis.

- One of my favorite rings broke today, I'm either going to hot glue it or bury it tomorrow.

- I went to the beach in January. I'm still inwardly struggling about how I feel about this insane climate change. I still don't think I'm all about 80+ degree heat in January. Buuuut it was great. I think I'm leaning towards not hating it. Woot.

- I sat outside for 2 hours on a Sunday lunch after church with friends. Glorious.

- I discovered the best popsicle today. Coconut dipped in a hard chocolate shell. FANtastic.

- I realized that I love classical music, who knew? Hmm...

- I got a wooden art supply box and I love it more than I even expected. I might scribble on it soon.

- I'm super excited to see He's Just Not That Into You this weekend for dearest Shannon's birthday. I love my friends. Duh, cliche... but if you were here, you would agree wholeheartedly.

- I really enjoy/am deeply terrified of my figure studies class. I drew a 65+ year old man for three hours on Monday. He was wearing an uber skimpy thong and his prop was a baseball bat. He was sitting on a stool on a platform above me. He has no secrets from me, let's just say that....

- Gossip Girl is gonna be over soon, and its a bit distressing because there is so much faux gossip I won't have in my life to keep me entertained until next season. Hmmf.

- I am discovering the power and breadth of the Holy Spirit more and more each day. It can be exhausting to think about, His power is everywhere and in everything.

-Like I said, it's only the second week of classes and I've already skipped one, shoot.

- I miss Lawson and want to squeeze his chubby appendages and make him giggle.
