CALIFORNIA, HERE I COME!

I AM GOING TO CALIFORNIA IN THE NEXT 12 HOURS!! I am seriously sooo excited. I am going with a big group of friends, my first real friends trip. It is going to be awesome and I will make sure to take lots of pictures, and hopefully I will actually blog about this fun experience since I do have my new goal to fulfill of writing something everyday. I am beside myself with joy for this new adventure. I have been needing an adventure in my life and here, this one appears!! WOOT WOOT!

and it would be a dog

According to my niece, if a girl and a girl were to get married they would only "live with a boy and it would be a dog." Therefore it is not good to get married to a girl if you are already a girl.

Curfew

I have a curfew and it sucks. I hate it. I am recently 20 years old and I have to be home at 12. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

A New Goal

Since my major is English Literature and I want to be a high school English teacher, I came up with a new goal last night: I am going to write a little something everyday. It can be something as little as a witty facebook status or as big as a ten page paper for school, but I have to write something everyday. I have my journal I can write in, Blog I can post on, school work papers I have to write, letters to write to missionary boys. Really I can write whatever I want, where-ever I want, but it has to be something every single day. I love reading the written word of other people, so I might as well improve my own writing and the best way to do that is to study the work of others and practice on your own. That is my goal. Peace out world. Perhaps more will appear written on this blog.

My Love/Hate Relationship with Proof-Reading

Once I do it, I love it, I like thinking of new ways of writing something or finding my mistakes and knowing that I made my paper better with my fantastic corrections, additions, or deletions. I even like finding my mistakes, I feel smarter because I was able to find a mistake. But the problem is that it is so hard for me to start proof-reading. I always procrastinate doing it, and my theory is because I don't want to address the mistakes that I made, because, well, I would like to be perfect every time the first time around. I don't like the wake-up call that I get when proof-reading. I am forced to accept, yet again, that I am not as grand as I like to think. Sometimes I like to turn papers in without proof-reading because then I don't have to be brought down to a lower level on the "Rachel-is-really-awesome-building" that I tend to reside in, even if my paper makes me sound like a bigger idiot than I am because I didn't catch mistakes.

Bednar and Boys Bathroom

Elder Bednar came to town and had a fireside. Me and these buds of mine went to it. It was awesome. He is so funny. Did anyone know this beforehand? because I certainly didn't. Also, before the fireside started, I went to the bathroom and definitely started to walk into the boys bathroom. It was awesome.

Sometimes I like to be Creepy with a capitol C,

Mostly when Tiff Tiff and Brenda bribe me with wonderful gifts.

 The bribes: 
Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins homemade by Tiffy, and 
1 shirt exclusively from Brenda (If you know Brenda, you know that she makes really cool shirts).

And all I had to do was one tiny, measly, little thing.
All I had to do was change my relationship status on FB to being in a relationship with a certain boy... he doesn't even have to accept my request for him to be my relationship buddy or anything (I think he denied the "being my FB boyfriend" at present though, sad).
I agreed to this deal in a heartbeat. It's probably the best deal I have ever made in all of my existence.
Now I will be slightly fatter with those muffins in my belly and a fabulous new shirt that I can stretch out with my newly-formed belly.
