blah. being sick is the worst! especially right when the weather decides to be nice..
yesterday i went to the hospital. for the very first time, other than birth. i was doing my best to refrain from hyperventalating, i don't know why, i feel like im going to die whenever im in a hospital..
the only benefit, i got one of those cool hospital bracelets with my name on it :]
oh, the reason i was at the hospital in the first place was because i hurt my neck at the homecoming carnival last thursday. i did this stupid slingshot ride thing, and flung back and my neck snapped. not snapped to where im paralyzed, hospitalized and on the verge of dying. no, no.
so i had to get a c-spine xray. pretty cool, seeing my skeleton on a computer, i must say. nothing is wrong with me, i just sprained my neck/cervix so i have to take this medication that makes me sleep ALL DAY LONG.
zzZzzzZ..

sorry to bore you with another nature/plant picture. :/
i bought these really fun rainbow stickers to put on your keyboard, but each sticker is the letter/symbol of a regular keyboard. it makes typing alot more fun :)
I didnt write the quote above, and no need to brag, but I think i'm getting so good at creating quotes. i guess it's just my current mood, but everything is inspiring me to create quotes of my own, just for my pleasure. haha
the pumpkin patch came yesterday. im not sure if i mentioned this last year (wow, i've been blogging that long..) but every october, our church, literally next door to us gets a big batch of pumpkins for people to buy. its so nice, pulling into our neighborhood seeing a big blob of orange :) and it really gets you into the halloween spirit.
mondaymondaymonday. worst day of the week for me, but today was really nice.

I've been feeling so emotional all day. I feel like I need to just go cry in a corner to get everything out. It's been swinging from how it used to be with all my friends actually liking each other, to this being the first Christmas without my grandma/dog.
People say, in your 40's is usually the time where you really miss your childhood, and want to go back. But, honestly, right now has been that time for me. I remember so much, mainly because I'm still a child, myself. But everything was so simple, I was so selfless and carefree. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my life right now and everyone in it, but to go back for one day, that would be priceless.

apart from trying to stay awake in class, today was very exciting. in anatomy, were learning about the integumentary system. there's so much i never could even imagine people knowing about. kinda interesting. monday, we did this body fat measurement lab where you pinch your body fat in certain areas of your body (i guess the ones with the most fat?) and measure, and you get a percentage of body fat for your body. mine was solved incorrectly. yeah, thats my mad math skills for ya ;)
speaking of the devil, in geometry, i had a test, and i think i did fairly well on it, whooo! that's a first! fingers crossed though, whenever i think i do good, i do bad..
i ran 5 miles in cross country today! oh yes. im getting back into shape! yesss :) i will nevereverever not run in the summer again..
toodles!

On the road again
Hello from the road! I'm once again blogging to you on my way to vacation. Haha this time I'm not going to Orlando. I'm going to Sanibel island with my mom and half family. Not really family but sure seems like it ! We did this once before a few years ago and I am so happy to be doing it again! We go to the beach and pool everyday so I will definately have a gorgeous back to school tan :)
xoxo,
Rachel :)

The ride home...
Hello again! Well I'm now blogging to you on my way home! Haha but Orlando was amazing! I had soooo much fun but I'm kind of anxious to get back home, even though I'm leaving again on sturday to go to sanibel island for a week!
Anyways, seaworld was so much fun. They had a brand new rollercoastEr that was crazy. It's called Manta, and your like on your stomach so alllls you see is the ground, 100s of feet below you. It was awesome. And then we went on the other coaster they have called Kraken which was so much better than manta. It was alot faster and omg just amazing.
My trip was really alot of fun!
When I get home I'll be sure to post some pictures of the shamu show and the shark encounter and all the other beautiful things I saw.
This trip really kind of inspired me to be some kind of marine biologist because I'm obsessed with sharks but also because the other sea creatures are so amazing too

hey everyone. its been quite awhile since i've last blogged. and as much as i say im going to be back with blogging, sadly, i think im done. it just doesn't appeal to me as much as it used to. don't get me wrong, i will definately update every now and then, like now, and adding some occasional pictures. but you can always check at my flickr for new photography.
but what has happened since i've last blogged?
i got my permit, im currently in new jersey for 3 weeks, and i've completely fallen in love with johnny knoxville.
