You are open and adventurous. You're interested in young people and what's new in the world.
You don't carry any emotional baggage with you through life. What's done is done, and you've moved on.
You start every day fresh. You are optimistic about what's to come. |

Well. There's not really any other way to say it.
I'm thinking of phasing out and terminating this journal. I don't really post to it much anymore, and I have taken to using other outlets, such as Facebook. There is a chance I would restart with another journal name, but for now, I'm feeling guided to put this one to rest.
I know that many of you are already Facebook friends with me, and if you're not already, most of you know my last name, and/or where to find me. :)
That's all folks!

This is the part where I figure I've procrastinated/rested enough by this time of night, but Spanish still hasn't made automatic sense of itself. Cue freaking out now.
I think I'll eat delicious natural fig bars. Mmm, yummy. What'd they do, change the recipe..?

Oh yay, homework, sleep deprivation, and an itching, slow, backburner sort of sense of panic (all at once, overnight, just like that!)- yeah, I'd say school's begun!! Lol.
Well, anyway. ;) |

| Life thoughts: nice |
[Aug. 26th, 2007|01:41 am] |
The theater retreat was great, but very intense because of the sheer number of people (in a smallish communal cabin/cottage/"retreat thing"), and because of my own lack of sleep. I found I had to "recover" a fair amount today. I had a three-hour nap and just sat around talking to members of my family today and doing Saturday cleaning of the bathrooms and catching up on some dishes (especially since I traded turns with Elizabeth while I was gone). I did a lot of thinking about my major and how that combines with medicine as well this week, and I'm frustrated not only with the angsty thoughts of school just on the brink of starting and me having lots of thoughts of theater involvement and trying to hold lots of new (and pertinant) scheduling and other information in my mind, but because I didn't necessarily do everything I had wanted to do today to keep planning for school starting. My main concerns are really that my bedroom still seems to be an unacceptable mess in lieu of starting 5 courses on Monday with accompanying books and materials to potentially get lost in the mess, and that my school email account is still overflowing. (That part, the latter, really bugs the crap out of me. SIGH.) The email is particularly annoying, because there's a lot of it, but it's so pertinant to school that I certainly don't feel that I can really leave it as one of those "projects that stays undone until when school lets out again.") Darn?!?!
I guess sleeping now as my body and mind are urging me to would not be uncalled for, and maybe I can worry about the clearing-everything-out later. Everything else pertaining to school- the important legal, financial, logistic, transportation, outside duty, employment, college major, and even social concepts- are all taken care of. As my brother and I said to each other a couple weeks ago this summer, "We probably ARE completely ready to go to school. We MIGHT be able to go right now if it were to start! That's probably why we're freaking out and worrying."
With peace and anticipation,
Healthnut |

| L.A! :) |
[Jul. 20th, 2007|04:37 am] |
I'm so excited about L.A. We're leaving in 5 days. :) Today we went to Fort Wayne, and got healthy-food snacks to take on the plane (we're avoiding fruits and veggies because of the whole produce-into-California thing that the airline mentioned, so we tried to find packaged stuff that was sustaining and not total junkaroo). I know the airports would just love you to buy anything and everything there in the nice little vending machines, but we feel better when we eat better, especially under stress, so fancy "health junk/snack food" it is. Ha ha. I also got some face care items I wanted to restock on and an all-natural sunscreen (avoiding the chemical sunscreens in favor of one who's main ingredient is titanium dioxide), but the ingredients looked a lot more suspicious to me than the same brand I bought last year. Ouch. I really like it when I can find products that really appear to be as natural as they claim. Sigh. Still... I'm gladder to find a sunscreen with some dubious chemicals WITHOUT the active chemical ingredient, then a sunscreen with chemicals AND the active ingredient being dubious as well. I guess that's a long way of saying it should be better than nothing, right? I just wish Aubrey Organics hadn't appeared to change their formula. *very sad face* Being sensitive of skin and allergenic and whatnot, too, it really is invaluable for me to really avoid chemical crap, because after awhile it all just starts to build up and person doesn't feel so good. Doing all this healthy stuff and forcing myself to do it even when travelling, instead of the obvious easy stuff that travelling tends to breed pays off, I think.
Anyway, I don't really know why I'm on the soapbox. I'll get off. I just love geeking around health food stores for hours, that's all. :D lol.
We stopped at Kohl's and I tried on a shirt, but it turns out when I grabbed the same size in the color I actually wanted off the rack upon leaving, I got one that had been mis-hangered, and ended up with two sizes too big! Great! :(
I've decided much of what I want to take along... so I feel prepared and very happy to be that way... I have lists... I have plans... I know what bags/suitcases I want to bring. Heh heh. This shouldn't be too hard now. :)
Yeehaw. ;P
The earlier part of today kind of sucked (sleepy, overcast rainy day, not wanting to be/stay out of bed or get moving AT ALL), but by early evening when we went to the city... things got better and I got happy. :P
With love...

I'm likely going to do a friends list cut soon. I never did one that I had announced recently, but I'm getting more overwhelmed/confused by the volume of connections I have, so I think it's time.
Just keep in mind it's not personal, it's to keep my life sane. ;P I'm sure you may have all been there. :)
Thanks for understanding,

| Peace? |
[May. 19th, 2007|01:42 am] |
I am deeply at peace. (Exams and the entire school year are over now, but that could be cause for strain or angst, too.) I really, really loved my stage makeup class, and I will miss it. Today was beautiful. It was really nice/lovely in it's own quiet way. But yesterday was perfect.
I'm at that stage of the year where I shop for and buy all kinds of natural makeup and products and try things and try to make it all work. It probably has to do with my birthday, where I like to buy myself some gifts, and the impending summer which calls for new looks and exciting thoughts of hair and makeup and seeing relatives and other people we haven't seen in a year, and going to weddings and graduations. All those things make me want to think about makeup and natural makeup at that. :) |

I sat in the backyard and made myself a really, really long, inclusive list of things to do this weekend through ALL of next week, and there's no break, ever, and it's really, really long. :(
But, I will get through it! :) After this weekend, it will be the last week of school. Somehow, strangely... oddly. ;)
The backyard was beautiful after dark.
love, rachel |

Bored.
(Antsy, tense, tired, busy.)
...And concerned. |
|
|
| Hmm |
[Apr. 16th, 2007|08:05 pm] |
Did an email assignment I needed to do before tomorrow, but alas it wasn't one of the Big Projects. Ha ha ha. Ate dinner. Checked my email and all that. Made a list of non-homework things that I need to do before school is out, lest I forget. Cleared out of bunch of school email. Looked at Facebook.
Well, I'm bored. And soooo tired. I don't like doing this anymore. I've started to value sleep!!! ;) |

| Your Ideal Relationship is Serious Dating | 
You're not ready to go walking down the aisle.
But you may be ready in a couple of years.
You prefer to date one on one, with a commitment.
And while chemistry is important, so is compatibility. |

You Are an Afternoon Person
|
You can find energy any time of the day ... or night!
You prefer to be out and about when most other people are.
Very early mornings or very late nights aren't really your thing.
You're practically solar powered, and the afternoon is when do best.
