Rachel's Random Ramblings

2008-05-08T20:01:00.001-07:00

I feel like everyone has returned home for the summer but me. Sometimes I wish I could just go home. I miss my MoM.

Happy almost two year anniversary to me!

2008-05-03T06:51:00.000-07:00

Off to the Scarborough Renaissance Festival!!!!!!!! This is where Jared is taking me for our second year anniversary.

Are there times when you look out your window and the only thought you have is. . . "we need a lawnmower." Times when a person leaves a note on your door, "I can mow, edge, and blow off your yard at ____ for $ 25.00. Call Forest at. . ." Times when you wish you talked to your neighbor enough that it would not be weird to walk over and borrow their lawnmower. . . Times. . . when. . .

2008-04-15T19:39:00.001-07:00

This evening in the bathroom, I heard a concerned mother ask her 4-year-old daughter, "Now, Honey, how many seconds do you wash your hands?" Her daughter mumbled something and the mother replied, "Yes, good, 20 seconds." After they left the other woman in the bathroom smiled and said, "Yes, 20 seconds and then you touch the door handle and get them all back."This evening I thought I would try

Teaching first grade can be tough. Knowing this, my father-in-law sent me a joke to keep me smiling. He did not say where it was from so I will just put it here. . . thanks to whoever wrote it.My six-year-old was having a tough time adjusting to first grade. At least twice a week, I received a note from his teacher outlining his latest infraction. Finally, I sat him down and laid it on the line

One year noniversary

2008-03-27T19:23:00.000-07:00

It has been one year since I posted. I think I will try and keep up my blog again. We shall see.

2007-03-27T17:09:00.000-07:00

I thought life was hard until it got so much more difficult. Over the last week, I have had to say goodbye to 18 wonderful second graders who adored me, lose my supervising teacher, and move into a classroom of out-of-control-fourth-graders-who-know-it-and-are-PROUD-of-it. To begin, my supervising teacher switched me out for another student to save on driving time and to stay out of her

Junk

2007-03-25T10:13:00.000-07:00

Today I decided to go through and check all my email accounts and make sure that there were no emails I was dying to read. My yahoo account had over 100 emails and my hotmail account (which was recently reset due to me not checking it enough) had 80 emails. What is up with that? I can never find the emails I want because I get so much junk mail I cannot get through it all. I do not need to

2007-03-25T10:09:00.000-07:00

My first placement has ended. I will truly miss those 2nd grade kids. It is my senior year and the last semester. In less than two months I will have to go and get a real job. That is a scary thought. My plans for the summer so far consist of trying to find a summer job. Yeah, nothing really fun or interesting. Also, Jared is trying to get a group together later in the summer to go to the

Children of Men

2007-01-14T10:22:00.000-08:00

Children of MenThe horror of a world with no children. Have you ever tried to picture it? No children means no diapers, crying, interruptions at the movies, and no one to blame for locking your keys in your car. No need for schools, daycares, midwives, teachers, pediatrics, birth control, abortion . . . or toys. Santa Claus would be out of business. But was this the main point the movie was

2006-11-26T18:48:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving is over but classes are not. How sad. Jared and I went to his grandparents houses and had a blast. Now I am back at school, looking at major projects and wanting to cry.

This is an exam that LeTourneau gives us to see if we are ready for the REAL exam! 80% and above to pass. I have been studying about five hours or more a week in study sessions, class session, and on my own. This last week it has been cramming week. We have been meeting at our

I cannot think of what to put here. A number of things would suffice, but I think I will leave that up to the person who looks at it. All I can think of is, "wow...what a jump..." Anyone have a better caption?

I am now a little over half-way done with my first of three summer classes. The history we are covering in class has finally gotten interesting. The last worksheet looked at the Jacksonian era and this next one is on pre-civil war/civil war. I am going to taco bueno for lunch after I am done with my homework to get a cheap burrito and hang out with my husband (who gets an hour off for lunch

2006-05-28T15:12:00.000-07:00

Mid-Honeymoon Update

2006-05-10T14:35:00.000-07:00

Jared and I are having a wonderful time on our honeymoon. We are spending a week at Holly Lake Ranch which is out here nearish Gilmer, TX. We drove into town to come to the library to use the internet. A day too soon to check grades unfortunately. On the way here on 154, we went through Harmony, TX. There wasn't a library there so we continued on. We are going to check out downtown before

Jared and I started dating exactly 1 year and six months ago today. It is hard to imagine so much time has actually passed. Ten days left until our wedding. That is a scary thought. In ten days...I do not know if that explains my lack of posting or not, but I also have finals to complete between now and then. 1 British Literature Journal Set1 Marketing Exam1 American Literature reading

2006-02-25T02:30:00.000-08:00

It has been so long I do not know what to say. This semester has been hard and busy for me. I am physically and emotionally drained. I am taking two Literature classes this semester, and I usually cannot keep up with the reading or understand the reading. I just took a test in both of them, and I have yet to hear how I did. I will eventually have a presentation in American Literature on

School

2006-01-15T11:50:00.000-08:00

School has started once again. I do not have any education classes this semester. I am taking two Literature classes, and Paige is in both of them. As of now, I am three weeks ahead in Fed., State, Local and caught up with everything else. Well, I do not have much to say...so ta ta for now.

Guatemalan's are nicer the further you are from the airport. The internet has been down since Christmas and Jared is impatiently sitting across the desk from me waiting for me to finish. He posted so check out his blog for an update. I have enjoyed wandering around, shopping, watching TV, and playing X-Box. Other than a gang war that closed the roads around us and the internet and phones

Guatemala

2005-12-15T11:06:00.000-08:00

I made it down to Guatemala with Jared with no major issues other than being very tired. Doug dropped us off at the airport in Dallas and we went and waited through long lines to get to our gate. We arrived ten minutes before our plane was supposed to leave...and then sat on the plane for twenty minutes waiting for passengers from connecting flights. We take off and all goes well...but as my

Traditions

2005-11-23T10:13:00.000-08:00

Traditions Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that most Americans remember from their childhood. Thanksgiving was a time when the pilgrims came together with their families and celebrated what God had done in their lives. Now it is still a holiday of reflecting on the blessings of life rather than on the problems and issues that confront us every day. I think it is fortunate that we have a

From Pencil to ink...with a few more trees and animals...There are nine animals...but the picture of the picture is not very good.

2005-11-19T14:23:00.000-08:00

I must not forget my pencil drawings... In class I usually get picked to draw the pictures for class projects. This is a doodle I did in class.

This is my work in progress...

This is a new way I found to cut up my assignments...It is just regular paper I cut with an exacto knife.

Sorry about the small pictures...I will try to borrow a camera to get better ones. My new finger puppet I made out of one of the skirts my grandmother sent me.

I hope that this comes out...Some new things I have been trying out in the art section. This one is of Half Dome.

2005-11-07T19:52:00.000-08:00

Didn't have much to say, other than I have been working on homework. I decided to put a picture of my favorite place in the world up instead of more of my boring homework assignments.

Passport to...Christmas?

2005-11-05T00:20:00.000-08:00

Today in the mail, a package arrived for me. Upon opening it, I found my new passport. Now everything is in place for my trip to Guatemala this Christmas. We are flying out of Dallas. I hope it will be fun.

With a ring on my finger and a smile on my face, I dance around the room recounting the story. My boyfriend, Jared, and I have been dating for one year now. To celebrate this wonderful occasion, Jared made plans to take me to Olive Garden. By the way, he added, we were also going to Shreveport so Daniel and Randy could do their extra credit assignment for Dr. Watson, just like he had to do a

Still...can't...sleep...

2005-10-22T01:30:00.000-07:00

I cannot sleep. Thus, I turn to my blog once again. The newest thing I am trying lately is paper cutting. I think it is fun. I take paper, fold it, put it over a piece of cardboard, and cut it with my exacto knife. So far, so fun. Yeah, That's all. I think I will try sleeping again.

Fall Break is Here

2005-10-20T18:19:00.000-07:00

The half-way point has finally come. It does not feel like it has been that long. I am tired enough though. Thanks to the head of the education department, all my Friday classes were canceled. My five days off has finally come. First thing on the list? Well, after this post that is, I will be SLEEPING!!!! YAY!!! Then doing homework for the rest of the break. Another yay...

I finally made it in to get my passport renewed. I have had my passport since I was 15. It has been "misplaced" only twice, which means I put it in a "safe" place and forget that place. I handed my passport to the lady behind the counter, and watched in horror as she picked it up and stapled it to the form. STAPLED! She said I would get it back after they cancled it. I hope I do.

Facebook

2005-10-09T21:38:00.000-07:00

There is this new (or old) thing to bring college kids together. I have been playing around on it and I found three old friends from my childhood. Two I went to school with between K-4th, and the third I went to church with in LaHonda. It is so awesome to find these people. Other than looking for old friends, I have yet to find the point to it.

Fall Fest time...

2005-10-08T15:53:00.000-07:00

It is a sad, sad day when your dinner is interrupted by the sound of screaming girls and toy guns. Therefore, today was a sad, sad day. My old floor, now Davis 3, the lambs decided on a western theme and they came into the cafeteria to pick the person they wanted to be king. At the end, popular vote decides who the "lucky" man will be who is crowned king. A queen is also chosen in the same

For my father's birthday

2005-10-08T15:46:00.000-07:00

I did remember my father's birthday. I had it on my calendar long before MoM told me about it. It took me longer to finish my father's present than I had thought it would. I mailed it out regular mail...Since I am, ya know, a college student. I drew a sketch for my dad. It is of two elephants standing in front of a sunset. It is all done in regular pencil. I then made a black backing/frame

2005-10-03T12:09:00.000-07:00

Can I get credit for THINKING about posting? Since arriving at school my life has been a jumble of work. I am trying to think of something interesting to write, but nothing is new. I wake up every morning M-F in time to get to 8AM and 8:15AM classes. I am sharing a room with Sharon and an apartment with Paige and Emily. I usually spend more time with friends than on my computer this semester

Honey, I'm HOME!

2005-09-04T23:37:00.000-07:00

Sorta, not really, kinda, yeah. I am at school. Classes have started. I think they are fun so far. Creative writing, movement and games for children, children's literature...are all turning out to be fun classes. I must sleep now, but...I will return...I will...somehow return. Tomorrow our teacher asked us to show up 15 min. late for class. So I will. :D

2005-08-25T13:05:00.000-07:00

We are off to school. We should get there this sunday if all goes as planned. Talk to you all when we arive. Jon and I are driving out. We leave...Now.

Jared's visit...Part two

2005-08-20T22:38:00.000-07:00

I think my last post was a bit too detailed. We then went to LaHonda. It was a lot of fun. We stopped at the light house on the way up. Totally not very exciting for me, since I had been there once, and that was like, too many times. We pull in, its foggy like normal, luckily we all had sweatshirts, and we get out and walk toward the light house. There is a really pathetic shop with

Jared's visit...Part one

2005-08-17T16:54:00.000-07:00

Pre-Jared's visit, Dad and the boys were telling of all the mean tricks they would play on Jared. Like fill his room with grasshoppers, throw him overboard while sailing, and such stuff. When it actually came time to discuss what we would do, my dad and Jonathan decided they were in charge of it. So I sat between them, with the calendar in my lap, vetoing ideas. My dad made sure that everyday

Classes...

2005-08-17T16:26:00.000-07:00

I made it through all my summer classes. I finished one off two weeks after school ended. I then got home and started my two online courses. Then I started Chemistry. I finished Home, school, and community with an A. I got an A in Romans. I finished off Chem II and Applications of Technology with B's. I somehow managed to get a 182 (A) on the final out of 200. It does not really matter

Problems...

2005-08-17T16:02:00.000-07:00

This summer I received a phone call asking me to remove three posts from my blog. I did not know that I was not allowed to share my experiences from observing in schools. Due to the school I wrote about calling the Dean of Edu. at LU and she calling me and "asking" me to remove the posts, I have been nervous about writing more. I know it is silly, but I do not like it when I make mistakes that

Bit off more than one can chew

2005-06-30T20:00:00.000-07:00

Well, I had never really heard that saying much. Usually the one I got was "Your eyes are bigger than your stomach" after I would not eat about half my food. But this summer, I think "You bit off more than you can chew" applies to the way things are going. I am taking two online courses, Romans and Applications of Technology, they are eight week classes and I am over half way through them. I

Head & Shoulders...Stories of Andrew

2005-06-09T17:53:00.000-07:00

I just had a very unusual conversation with my little brother Andrew. Have you ever had to explain to a child which part of your body the head & shoulders shampoo cleans? Well, I just did. When Andrew showers, we put him in the front bathroom with the door slightly ajar and any big kid walking by usually goes in and checks on him. Well, this time I decided to go in and check on him. I asked

Hurm...who wants to know?

2005-06-08T23:57:00.000-07:00

Well, It is always difficult for me to tell people what is going on here. Which one of the many things that has happened do you want to know about? Do you want to hear about my work, and how I had to work seven days in a row? Do you want to hear about the accident and the wind storm? Do you want to hear about the fight I was in? Do you want to hear how it is raining tonight in California...

And why am I at LeTourneau?

'Hogan's Heroes' Actor Leon Askin DiesThe dude was like 97 years old. Its funny that I had just brought Jared's copy of the movie home and my parents started laughing at the memory of 'Hogan's Heroes'. It was cool that there is something that my parents and I know that none of my siblings know anything about. The main thing they remembered was "I know nothing...nothing!!!"

Weekend after returning home...

2005-06-02T18:44:00.000-07:00

Well, arriving in California was alright. First thing that happened was I got really cold...evenings in San Jose...yeah, I wish I had carried on my jacket. I get to my house and in bed by 1:00am California time...ugh 3:00 am Texas time. I find out that I work the next day...Luckily my manager decided my first day should start at 12. I work, not knowing exactly what I am doing...being glad my

Well, I sit here...on my new Laptop typing away, talking to Sarah online, and yes, generally doing online stuff...I finally got my laptop a network card and so now I can do online stuff from my room...YAY! Must be off now, summer classes have started and the homework looks like a mountain and I am out of rope, so we shall see what happens.

Sitting in the labs...Pretending to look busy.

2005-04-28T15:15:00.000-07:00

Yes, I am a pretender...but hey, no one cares if I am doing my thank you letter or a post right now anyway. I think they prefer it, it keeps me from talking.Some shocking news I am still trying to get over...If I get a 75 or above on the accounting final, I get an A in the class. I still cannot believe that my grade for that class was a D at midterms. My other classes are not as happy as I would

2005-04-17T23:30:00.000-07:00

I got a new toy...it should arrive soon. It is to help me with homework. I am so happy.

Long time no time

2005-04-11T00:46:00.000-07:00

I have not posted in a while, and I miss it. I feel like I need some sort of interesting fact or disturbing link in order to make a post. Or at least a topic or an interesting story. Alas, I do not have any of those. Yes, it is the boring life of a college student. I have not missed classes lately, I only slept in a two lately. I just finished my practice set for accounting...and that impresses

2005-03-10T22:36:00.000-08:00

Where are you spending your spring break? Yeah, Well, I am not where this picture was taken, but I am hanging out here at good old LU. But doesn't that picture make you think of relaxing? No more classes for a week for this chick. It's break for me! Oh, and the picture is from Nick's Cove...my family went claming there, I have never been.

A Poem-Why Should I Burden You?

2005-03-09T23:29:00.000-08:00

Last semester or so when I was having trouble, Sarah Tucker...my good friend wrote me this poem when she ran out of words to comfort me. Again, I feel as if I am down in the depths of despair. Here, I let you read it. I hope you enjoy it, I sure have. I named the poem since Sarah did not title it, and I choose that last question and only question because has run deep in my mind and I think I am

Well, I have not posted in like forever. Mainly because I am having a wonderful time wasting my free time and have enough homework that that free time is not very much. I am almost through mid-terms and have about four presentations, two papers- one essay and one research, five book reports, random Texas assignment, and about three weeks of accounting homework to do before I can enjoy spring

2005-02-19T22:33:00.000-08:00

Tonight I had the most wonderful evening. Tonight was symphony. Jared and I finished our homework for the day, and then we both go to get ready. Sharon meets me in my room after i get out of the shower. I get into a purple prom dress. The guys, Jared and David (Sharon's boyfriend), meet us in the lobby, and we all head out to Olive Garden. We had some wonderful food. Then we enjoyed the music.

Take the quiz: "WHAT RELIGION BESTS SUITS YOU?"True ChristianYou are humble, gracious, kind and extremely Christ-like. You believe in the bible as your law, but read it in its original language. Perhaps you're not a scholar, but you're not an armature either. You normally don't feel church is acceptable for your form of worship, and if anyone believes different from you, you might try to learn

Christmas was great. I love my family. Sometimes the things they do annoy me to death! but they are still wonderfully great. I only bought Julie and Rebecca something, and made Rebecca and Raquel something (loosing Raquel's gift before I had the chance to give it to her) and made my MoM some things. I did not get the males of my family anything, and they did not say anything or hate me at

Christmas eve was weird. I worked the whole day Christmas eve from 9-4 and it was interesting. We had some strange people come in. It was slow until noon...so I continued working on the computer doing pot labels. Then this guy came in with long hair and hippyish clothes. He started giving us his life story, where he played different instruments, how he grew up in Hawii and layed naked on the

Well, I have made it through another day. I was going to blog yesterday but a headache took me under. I spent the first half of the day getting up, eating spaghetti for breakfast, brushing teeth, and grabbing shoes, hair brush, and stuff and running out to the car. The first group had already headed out at eight that morning. We arrive at the dentist's office...and they start getting us mixed up.
