| How many months can I go by without updating this silly thing?? the answer would be 5, yes almost half a year.. woah, and the sad thing is there is hardly anything new to tell. Life is life, nothing extrordinary. I only have a year of school left, hopefully. Then I will begin my many adventures across the world, Lord willing. I'm content where I'm at but I'm not thriving in my environment, unless I'm around foreigners. I miss Danish, and just learning another language in general. I'm majoring in Spanish but I'm not learning anything new in these ridiculous classes, perhaps a new word per week, lame. I seem to have lost a lot of ambition around here, I don't know why but it's annoying. Good news is that I'm going to Chile and Ecuador this summer, a much needed trip, it's been over a year since I've last been out of the country, and that was just Aruba. It's getting to be good weather again around here which means SWIMMING, yes that is my excitement along with hiking and dancing. But swimming is fun alone too, and relaxing. I really shouldn't be writing all this now cause I should be working on one of my 5 huge papers due in a week. Will I ever learn? Anyways I wanted to hear from all the ghosts of my past, so speak up!!! If anyone gets bored and wants a fun vacation, come visit me...please, I'm in desperate need of Normal..I mean Northern influence. | | |
| What am I going to do???I've just discovered the footprints portion to the xanga website and have realized that I must resign myself from my previous occupation of web stalker, on the off chance that I get caught, publicly humiliated, and possibly flogged. Alas. From now on I guess I'll have to resort to the old fashioned breaking and entering, car pursuits, and stealing from garbage methods. Be warned all ye xanga posters I might just be across the street watching through binoculars at this very moment. Jaralei put down the phone!! 911 is just a façade...no one can save you now! | | |
| I'm still alive...barelyIn case anyone is wondering my life consists of studying, singing with a gospel choir (though I'm still as white as can be), and that's about it. I hate research papers, the end! | | |
| ANNOUNCEMENT!!!So this is for all the CIMC folks: anyone who can and wants to is invited to drive or fly, up or down to Tennessee to hang out at my place for a while after Nolan's wedding. Lauren, Filip, & Charlotte were already planning on coming the first week of August, so I talked to some other folks and decided to make it an open invite for all the Master's menneske. We'll work out the transportation details according to the number of people who'll be coming and from where. We have a 6 bedroom house on the lake, and there's tons of stuff to keep us entertained while we're here: jet skiing, hiking, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nashville, boating, camping, and of course poking fun at the red necks. Spread the news to whomever you might see that doesn't read this site, which should be quite a number of folks. I'll post again soon with the exact dates and some pictures to entice ya'll, but until then just email me at rachaeldimond@hotmail.com to let me know if you're interested. | | |
| I feel doomed to be a full time babysitter for the rest of my life! Today at church yet another mother asked me first how old I was, which is sad that I'm still a babysitter at 22 and still mistaken to be under the age of 16, then asked me if I'd be interested in watching her kids sometime. Yep too bad I actually love doing it, if only it payed booku bucks, alas. So I've decided to stay in Tennessee this summer, which is a real oddity for me. I'm looking for Aupair jobs in the area so I could live at or near home until school starts. I think it's just cuz the weather is so freakin awesome right now and I just want to lay out on the dock or hammock all day. oh yeah I turned 80 last week, or at least my back did. I was carrying the canoe down to the lake with my uncle when I sprained my back, 3 hours later I was laying in my bed imobile and crying, which I don't cry by the way, that is unless my hamster dies or I am in an excruciating amount of pain. Then after a painful transport to the hospital I was forced to undergo some gruesome tests: stretches, shots, anal probes, the norm; then a few doses of Vikadin later I was on my way home and on my way to a better place. The pain lessened after about 2 hours, but I never got the high that everybody is talking about, what a rip off! I was just drowsy and an invalid for a couple of days and now I am back to doing stupid things like picking up kids with my "fragile" back. Yep, I think I'm a slow learner. Onto other news, my mom bought a little book about ADD, and she just happened to leave it laying out on the coffee table for mine eyes to see, hoping that I will take interest and admitt that I am an ADD laden child. She also has gone to the extent of attempting to read to me out of it, but of course after a few seconds my attention wanders elsewhere, "wanna ride bikes?". So basically as you can see there is no underlying theme nor point to this post, it is merely a smorgasbord of random thoughts and events written because I no longer have any homework to occupy my time with. I'll end with this,
Does anyone have any good suggestions for a book to read? | | |
