Two worst things in the world:

Unfortunately, both have happened to me in the last 24 hours.

Here I am. Sitting in the library waiting for my next class to start. Surrounded by the smell of coffee that I don't drink and books that I need to read. Just like freshman year. Except this time it's my last first day of school here. This time I'm more experienced. I know where I am. I have a job. I had a conversation with one of my professors that knows me. I even gave someone directions. And yet I feel kind of sad. I feel like life is moving on without me and I'm not ready for it. Do you ever get comfortable just as everything changes? That's me right now. The last three years of my life have been lived here. I've worked and studied and preservered toward this end and I don't even know if I'm ready for it. And so I sit. Waiting for the next adventure. Waiting for an answer. Waiting for myself to catch up.

4. I don't know what to do after college.
5. My name is Rachel.

Alas my friends I have updated the formatting of my blog. It was desperately needed and I quite like the new look. I don't really know what to write about today. I am doing summer school again so my time is very full of homework and summer social activity. My family also got a new doggy. Her name is Lolli and she is ridiculously cute and sweet. She watches the tv like a person and she barks when animals come on and commercials. I already love her! That's what's going on around here! Bear Lake is t-minus seven days. I'm so excited I could pee. The end.
