Classical Rome & China,

are what I just finished writing an essay re-write about. awesome, right? ( :

Anyhow, I have so much to do this weekend, it's not even funny! Saturday I'm basically busy all day, seven hours of which I'm babysitting. & on Sunday I'm running the slide show at church for the first time ever, & I'm kind of nervous about that, because I hate it when slides are wrong, so I REALLY don't want to mess it up.

But with such a busy weekend, it means that on Saturday I have to be by the lake at 8:15, & on Sunday I have to be at the recreation center (where we meet for church) at 9. Looks like there will be no sleeping in for me! Bummer.

Anyhow, it's been getting colder here recently, which really excites me! I took the PSAT on Wednesday, & am pretty anxious to get my scores back [IN DECEMBER! I mean, come on!! It's all by a document, does it really take THAT long to complete?! Well, I guess with every sophomore in the country taking it, it does.] But I think I did alright. Although I'm pretty sure I'll be taking it again next year, just for precaution.

Oh my goodness it's almost midnight?! Yikes, I guess I'll close off with saying that j* posted the pictures from Katelyn & Michael's wedding on Sunday on her blog today!! I'm pretty sure I'm going to be looking through that slideshow very often ( :

Oh, & you should totally listen to this amazing song that I'm in L.O.V.E. with!!

xo, rachel!

I dislike,

school assignments that are due on Friday. Because, who really wants to spend all of Thursday night working on a lab report that their partner won't help on & is due the next day? Not me! Especially with this being a three day weekend & all, I just can't wait!!

Saturday I'm going to spend all day finishing scanning pictures, then I'm going to a friend's 18th birthday bash. Sunday will probably be the normal church, & then hanging out at home (& of course stalking Katelyn James' wedding!!). Then Monday I plan on sleeping in late, catching up on some DVR stuff, watching a movie or two, & working on a Sims mountain house that I love. ( :

Anyhow, I better get back to my lab report, I'm about halfway done, & I also need to somehow squeeze in reading the first three chapters of Lord of the Flies by William Golding before 9:45 tomorrow morning. Awesome.

sincerely,

the school despiser.

p.s. I'm really enjoying following along Aura Joon on her pregnancy journey! I love seeing that she has a new post!!

p.p.s. today I officially ordered my tickets for the Rocket Summer & He Is We concert in November!!! I'm SO STOKED!!

Tonight,

I just want to sleep.

today was,

enjoyed.

I got 9 1/2 hours of sleep. A luxury that I make sure to take advantage of every Saturday morning. It's the only day of the week I can sleep in, so I keep sleeping until I'm no longer tired, or at least relatively tired. Today I woke up three times before getting out of bed.

& then, I had mac & cheese. Which is basically a Saturday tradition in my world.

Then, I watched Julie & Julia with my mom & little sister while cutting ties for a quilt. Every time I see it I want to just learn to cook. *sigh*, one day.

Then, I worked on my desk. It's a laminate & right now I'm having to sand a light layer on it, & I'm about 60% done sanding. Awesome. NOT.

I also now have a Funfetti cake thanks to my mom. I love Funfetti,<3

goodbye for now,
