summa, summa, summa tiiime

i love getting mail and packages so much that i would post my home adress on this blog for the world to send me whatever they please, but i'm not going to just in case of crazy stalkers.

though, if you have my adress and are ever thinking, "man, rach's cool".. feel free to send thoughts via actual MAIL. emails are cool too. or you know, ask and i'll be more than happy to give my adress.

man, i've been kind of bummed in the recent past due to lots of crazy things. i mean, i'm moving on from the guy. so that's not so bad. (so long as i don't run into him at any more concerts..yikes) but working at clyde's waiting tables really hasn't been that much fun. i'm learning that i don't enjoy being a waitress. i want a job where i can gain something from what i'm doing..(something more than just money..i know, i know) and serving is physically draining. not in the sense that i'm getting a work out, but in the sense that my knees are being torn up. and all the information and crap being trained into my brain for that restaurant is very usless. so yeah, i might be trying to find a new job in the near future. pass some suggestions along if you know of any!

alright, but it's time to really kick things into gear.

i'm realizing that although i'm a really social person by nature, i'm really bad at making efforts to meet new people or get together with different people. i mean, i hang out with the same 3 people all the time.(and god knows i love them to death) but i feel like i need to practice branching out. not just for the sake of branching out, but because i really just want to.

my mom and i might make an end of the summer trip to the grand canyon! i really hope that we do it. i've never been anywhere out west.. and i would just love to go with my mom. last summer we had the best time traveling up and down the east coast. if we went to the canyon we'd fly there and then rent an RV and drive around all the awesome sites for five days or so.

man, i just want to say what a great time i had hanging out with everyone at senior week. i really loved our happy house of love.
