i heart jack bauer.

yep. its true. no matter what you say... i love him
or maybe just 24. but he is the good guy in 24 so i must love him.
but pretty much 24 took over my thanksgiving. i watched a whole season in like 30 hours.


me, my sister, nathan palmer, and my dad all started at 8:00 on wednesday night, got off the couch at 2 inthe morning and then went to bed
then, we woke up at 9 in the a.m. and resumed our positions on the couch. when i went to go put the next cd in we realized... that we accidentally watched the LAST 8 episodes instead of the first 8. hilarious, but very upsetting. so we decided to just start at the begining and then stop when we got to the end. sooo yeah, we knew how it ended, but trust me, it was like a whole other season. wierd. anyway so we watched until 1 in the afternoon but then we had to go eat an AMAZING thanksgiving dinner. 
darn. 
but then we got back from dinner at like eh 8:30ish and plopped our lazy fat selves back on the couch and continued to watch until 230 in the morning. so fun. as we got closer to the end it all began to come together. weird. so pretty much we watched it backwards but it was still just fantastic.


so i am grateful for 24. although... that show definitely does stress me out. big time. and thats not very good for me. 
and that lack of sleep made it so i am like not functioning and failed everything ACT related. great.
but oh well.

i love 24. love it love it love it. mmmm

oh and ps... happy thanksgiving. i am grateful for bunches of things. maybe i'll tell you later....

wait, what?

soo thanksgiving is in like 4 days. huh? yeah, it definitely does not feel like it. but its okay. it is a happy time because all of the college kids come home. yes. love it. i saw emily peterson AND carolyn kindt yesterday/today and it was GREAT! really love them.
also i decided that it is 107 percent laame that my brother Travis is NOT coming down for thanksgiving. WHAT? yeah. i am so mad. i need him to help help me on writing my BYU essays. ah  i am stressing out definitely a lot.
but whatever. yesterday for our day activity we did the
IRON CHEF : WINTER FORMAL.  
SO FUN!
really i loooved it. and i highly recomend it. although i had to get a back up date because good ol'  Joe Decker had to be in utah. lameface. but i had a blast and a half with Tanner Elsworth. we both are very competitive so it was grrreat. ha but i dont think other people appreciate our own competativeness as much as we do... baha.
also a downfall was the we didnt win. wierd right??? haha noo but although our chicken was AfreakingMAZING we still lost. the judges must have undeveloped taste buds or sumsing because our Grilled Chicken with Citrus Salsa was UNREAL! really though. but its okay that we didnt win. because it was soo fun and yummy tasting all at the same time.

oh, and i went to my last ever football game as a high schooler. sad sad. i teared up. no crying. just saddness.
this senior year is going by wayy too fast. or perfectly fast. i cant really decide. but it was fun.
stupid Mesa High beat Brophy. WHAT!? yeah, that was my reaction. that sucks. especially since its mesa high... and us TOROS are obviously better than them. ugh stupid. i'm mad. oh well. life goes on... maybe.
but good for them i guess.

well, i love life to the fullest.
i just wish travis would come home. i miss him.

sunday sunday sundae... mmm

so i love sundays! really. especially the nap part of sundays. the choir part with my ooh so best friend ever... sarcasm... is not so much fun.. but whatever.


but phantom of the opera was AMAZING! even though i was probably sitting on the ceiling... okay so the 4th row from the top, not quite the ceiling... it was still so great. but i definitely am appreciative of my mother who likes to get goods seats soo i kind of remembered what was happening from when i saw it liike 2 years ago. yeah. thanks mom. but it was fun fun fun


and when i arrived home on saturday i found out my favorite sister was home!!!! what?? who knew?? really. i had no idea she was moving back but it was a wonderful surprise! and she brought with her one of my favorite cousins kyla. yeah. so fun.
but, i felt like the worst friend ever because i was hanging out with my cousin and sister on saturday so i didnt even get to hang out with Chelsea Elizabeth Davis on her 17th brithday. i am truely remorse about that. sorry. i still love you!


also i had an amazing fun time at sister bangs cabin with the laurels.
if you have never been in a sauna before, you reaaally need to go. it sucks and you cant really breathe when its 165 degrees in there but it is fun. like i never have had sweat drip off my elbows before. gross, but its something you need to experience. ha. and it makes you feel good after.


but yeah, i would say my life is pretty good right now. okay always...
what is good in your life??

arrrgg

ACT tutor. yes he is coming right now...

sad sad sadd... there goes an hour and 15 minutes of my life. oh well. it will pay off.

also i am going to have an AMAZING weekend! im super stoked.

wanna hear??

okay. laurel retreat at sister bangs mansion/cabin...

then then. on saturday...

oh and ps. coaches HATE, HATE, DOUBLE HATE, and LOAATHE it ENTIRELY  when you need to get out of practice for either

1. piano crap or 2 church stuff.

yeah they reallllly hate it

i am definitely preeettty sure my coach came this close to killing me today.

scary huh.

he thinks i am obviously i am not committed to the team... lies... i am. i am just committed to like 12 other things. okay no lets count... soccer, track, piano, choir, family, and church. sheesh thats a lot. 6.

whatever... too bad i am no good at either of them... oh and i forgot school/getting good grades so i can get into college.

7... cool.

whatever... he will just have to get over it. and so will everyone else.

r.s!

so i decided today that i miss my sister

a lot

and i was looking through old old pictures on the puter and found some i just love and they make me miss her...

serously. love her.

like its my job.

so since this post is all about my sister whom i just love and adore... how much do you love/miss/love/loveee my sister??? not as much as me. promise.

be bright

soo... Bulgarian singer people are my new heroes.
one day i will sing like them...
hahaha... and i am 100 percent serious. yes. maybe? you decide.

also this weekend i went to Jesterz... i strongly recomend it if you are up for a good laugh or 2, or a million...
hilarious.
my cheekbones wanted to fall off. let me tell ya... these guys are good good good at improv. seriously.

ouchie

so yesterday my toe/foot got ran over by the girl in the wheelchair.

and no, i do not call her that out of disrespect... i just dont know her name... okay so she almost runs me over every dayy of my whole life... but today i was out early and out of the way and somehow she managed to get me. on accident of course... i guess she needed a speed bump of something??? yeah, i dont know... but i am here to testify that it hurtt. a lot. who knew?? yeah. still to this day hurts. probably my little pinky toe is broken. orrr probably not. but still. it HURT

sooo watch out for these little suckerrss...
they'll getcha.

the start of a new chapter

soccer season has started.

yay?

yay.

soo anyway this means life as rachel knows it will change drastically.

drastically in what way?

in the busy/stressed/overwhelmed/burdened kind of way.

this is what my life will consist of for the next... eh, 3 months.

• go to school. at 715. wait whhat? i dont have an a hour!! but... i do have shin splints that neeed to be taken care of... thank you body for hating me... but then i should count my blessings that they arent nearly as bad as diamonds and veronicas...
• come home at like 2.
• then... sit on the computer/eat/waste time/possibly nap until 330 when i definitely should be doing something productive with my time. but really... its hard to get motivated when you know you only have an hour of time..
• then run my brains out at soccer. why? because thats what we do. gross.
• then, get home at like 615.
• then teach lovely little kids the piano at 630
• then eat food at 720
• then listen to my ACT tutor tutor me at 8 until 915
• then dont do homework so i can sleep... (really though. if i go to bed past 10 i am like a walking zombie until like 6th hour... I need my sleep.)

yessss.

what a fun fun life i live!

well at least i only have the tutor guy until the ACT...

but still.

life is stressful. and i stink at running and feel like crap when i am done with it. yeah, i dont even get that feel good feeling. just here, hold on a sec while i puke out my guts. 
bleehh
oh well.
life goes on... i can do anything for 3 months
oh wait.. then track starts.
yes. there goes my senior year


whatever
november is not a good month. december is when the good times come...
