early bird

these 7 am Wednesday shifts are going to be the death of me... seriously. I don't even know how I am going to make it through them week after week! Somehow.

But, good news! The semester has started!! My schedule has already changed like, oh 17 times, but that's okay.

I love the first day of classes though... I always sit there, listen to the professor read off the syllabus and then I get all excited and think to myself, "Oh boy I am going to read everything this semester and stay on top of things and be such a responsible student!!" But we all know that the excitement will wear off... and who am I kidding! I'll read, and i'll stay on top of things... But I won't be excited about it :) I mean, it's only the second day of classes and I am already figuring out what assignments I will and won't have to do... the longest procrastination time possible... how much breakfast I need to eat to last me until 6:30 pm... and that if I wake up at 6:09 I will have 2 minutes to spare to be on campus by 6:50.

Perfect :)

I love college!

I have this problem...

So here's the deal. once I get up to provo/college/myownapartment... My eating schedule and habits go down the drain. No joke. I don't know what it is, but I just can't do normal eating. Or I can.. I just don't. Hmm, weird.
For example:

Monday: I woke up. Drank some juice. Mowed gpa's lawn. hurried and packed everything up. Moved in. Ate In-n-Out at 2.... ate 3 Mini Snickers at like 11 pm. Went to bed at Midnight. Whoot
Yesterday: Woke up around 10, ate a sandwich and salad from Zupas (um, YUM!) with Kelc and Chels from home. Ate 4 churros at like 9:30. (hey, they were free... alright?!) Got to bed around 2 am.

Okay and much more. But what happens is that I usually only eat 1, maybe 2, meals a day. And eat like crap. Somehow I live off of one meal and 10,000 pounds of sugar. Honestly I don't know how I ate 4 churros last night, but it happened! And it felt oh soo goood... or maybe that was the FREE factor kicking in. Regardless, I ate like 12 dollars worth of churros. Oh baby :)

But here's to college. It's starting on Monday and I think I need like 1 more week of nothingness. I would love that :) But Monday is coming and I get to be a responsible person. Yay college. YML. ha. Okay the end. End! End Rachel, no one likes to read a rambling blogger... Alright.

P.S. I hope all you other college students don't die from your weird eating habbits like I probably will...

Ketchup

man I am bad. so bad at blogging. so bad that yesterday I got a text message from my seestar saying:

"I have checked your blog 3 times today hoping for a new post. do not disappoint"

Or something along those lines...So I must blog. If only for my sister :)

But its been too long. So I need to do a major majorr catch up. Its gonna be fun. Real fun. 

Okay where did I leave off.

This summer was reaaal good to me. After lake powell and the family reunion I did a lot of hanging out with Tara and the occasional horse back ride with Nate :)

Me and Nate went on a double date with Tara and Josh. They were oh so excited to go horse back riding even though it was just in the little arena, they loved it!! Seriously I have never seen two happier people. So that was super fun. Great company, great times.

But the summer ended and here I am. Up in Provo. All moved in and loving life and my new roommates. I can tell this year is gonna be good to me :) Real good! But looking at my schedule I am scared. and nervous. I have work at like 7 in the a.m. twice a week!! Holy moley. I am going to have to grow up and be a responsible person... But 7 a.m??? Gross. Not excited for that at ALL. At all.

But oh well. I know this actually wasnt the hugest catchup of all time... but I dont really feel like telling you all every single detail of my life... hmm weird? Nah.

So here we are. Starting a new year at the BYU. And i am pretty dang excited!! 

Now I just need to buy my books... ugh... 330 dollars out the drain... 

MIA

I know, I have been a terrible blogger... Shame on me. But not because I don't have anything to blog about, thats for sure!! I still need to blog about how amazing lake powell was, the beautiful mountains in southern Utah, Horseback riding in Payson, my obsession with Masterchef,  how much I love my sister... You know, pretty much my super awesome life!!

Sooo... if I am ever dropping off the face of the blogging world (like right now) then don't fret. It's not because my life is incredibly boring. It's most likely because I am having the time of my life :) Ha.

But I will shortly be in provo... aka, FRIDAY... and then I will have a whole stinking week of no class to update all 50 of my lovely readers on this super great life I have, because these next 2 days I am going to be busy. So extremely busy. But the good kind of busy, so it's all gouda :)


Ps... aren't we all??

thermopolis...

2 weeks

Currently I reside in Mesa Az, In 2 weeks I will be moving to back Provo, Utah.

YES.

Seriously, I love it here... Love everyone here... Love my family... But Provo is calling me.

I need change of pace. I crave my super busy, super crammed scedule. I love being surrounded by 20-25 year olds. Its like one big party. One big party full of lots of trips to the library and the testing center. Hurrah!

Anyway, I am stoked. To go party at the Colony with Lynz. To have irregular eating patters like starving during the day and over eating at night. To stay up late and wake up early. To make new friends and learn some new stuffs about life :)
 It's gonna be great!! Big room or no big room :)

 

Plus, I plan on doing a whole lotta this in provo.

:)



PS. This weekend was great as always... but wasnt long enough! Shocker. I think I could spend every night watching food network with Tara. Best Friday night ever. But now it's monday.
That dreaded monday...

backstreet's back {alright!}

Okay, so the Backstreet Boys are definitely not back... But I am! Back from a lovely vacation to Lake Powell and the Stratton Family reunion.

But that is not the moral of this post.

Moral of this post is...

See this cuppycake?! Yes I know, crappy quality. It was taken from my phone that is most definitely not smart and edited on picnik.

But i'm okay with it

Anyway... So today one of my most favorite coworkers brings this over to me!!!

She just stopped by this amazing cupcake shop called,  Mind Over Batter. (aka better than Sprinkles) and decided to get all 5 of us girls in the Tax Department a cupcake!

Yes, she is fantastic, I know :)

Just thought I'd let you know I enjoyed it thouroghly. Which I was nervous about because I have been sick lately... I know... weird. And last night the weirdest thing happened...

Someone gave a a fresh outta the oven, homemade, delivous smelling and looing brownie smothered with some vanila bean ice cream... aka one of the best desserts EVER aaand i couldn't even stomach it.

are you even kidding me?!

Here's the story: So I take one, and excited to devour it although my stomach feels a little weird, my throat hurts, and head is tired... and I just... dont feel great. But its a brownie and ice cream! There is no resisting that!

So I took one bite and immedately felt nasueaous. From a stinking brownie and ice cream. Someone tell me what is wrong with me?!

 Ha, It was at this point when I was really really reallllllly sick of being sick.

So I ate half of it... only half! I know. Sad. And I wanted to finish it to be polite as well.. but my stomach was just so unhappy. And I didnt want anything disasterous to happen. So I let the other half just sit there and watched the ice cream slowly melt away. It was a traumatic experience I tell ya.

The end.

so THAT is why I was nervous about this cupcake!!

But, I must be on the upside of this sickness because I defintely ate the whole thing!!!

Hallelujah
