My bad y'all Sun, Dec 8, 2019, 9:35 PM

 













So... it's been a while. Quick catch up. I'm still doing pretty well in classes. Finals start tomorrow so I might die, but like whatever. My mental health is subpar but that's how it be sometimes.


Last, last week. 
Me and my roommates had a delicious roommate thanksgiving. We all made one piece of the meal and it was heckin good. The next day we watched Pirates of the Caribbean and made brownies. During the movie, Khara fell asleep and stayed asleep until Wills and Elizabeth kiss. She sat up and went "yasss" then immediately fell back asleep. Me and Anna both stared at her inert form then decided it was time to go to bed. 
Emily also came over this week to watch frozen 2 with Anna and me. It was a pretty good movie and would watch it again. Emily also slept on the floor in my apartment and absolutely loved it. She didn't complain about it the whole next day and keep telling me how much her back hurt. No... she would never.


Last week.
We had Thanksgiving with the whole family and took family pictures. During Thanksgiving, we ate lost of great food and played family games. We are very original thinkers. Sam also broke Matts wifes foot during basketball and Adam blinded Pauls wife during a snowball fight that she was not part of. Ok, so Hannahs's foot was not broken, just severely bruised and Sarah can still see but she did get an eyeful of frozen snow. The only thing I can say about these events is I fear for the man that I chose to marry for he'll likely end up in the emergency room often during the holidays.


This week.
Not much. I studied and had a few mental breakdowns but other than that it was ok. Pray for all the tests I'm taking and my grades. Like, please start praying now.


As my testimony, I know that as we do small things God will give us great gifts. I know one of the reasons I have done pretty well this year is I have taken my scripture study and prayers seriously. As long as I put effort into being with god he will bless me with peace during turbulence and success during hardship.
I love you all and hope you have good week. See you next week... Hopefully.  Unless I forget. In that case see you next, next week.

  Dear family and friends This week was much better and I feel overall happier and less anxious. Since we last visited I have had a few really good things happen. First, off classes are still going good and I am still getting As. Thus far my classes have been *looks around to make sure no one is listening* pretty easy. I also spotted my sweet kitten friend but alas, he ran away from me. someday... I also have started enjoying my art again and really seeing the beauty in the world around me. When I go through particularly difficult bouts with my mental illness I stop enjoying artistic endeavors and kinda stop noticing colors or beautiful flowers or anything really. For someone who usually is star-struck on a regular basis by the most basic beauties and colors of life, it's very upsetting to feel like life is gray. But this week I feel like I turned a corner. I've started painting again with real feeling and excitement and just today was mesmerized by the sunset and all the color

  I'm so sorry I have not written in so long. I have been struggling quite a bit lately but I am determined to get back on the horse. School is still going really well. I'm going to all my classes and working my tail off. I am so excited for the end of the semester and am ignoring the fact that finals are happening. Please pray for my sanity. Good things that happened this week? first off I got all my roommates to cry again. How? Well, I casually asked Anna Z. what she was thinking about her major. Was she still considering nursing? And she talked about how she said that she was not so sure because she is aware of how hard it must be to lose a patient. Me, being a CNA who always wants to talk about it, talked about my experience with that very thing and how you learn to take comfort in doing the service for your patients even if you cant save them. Anyway, I went into a long speech about patients and losing them and when I looked up both Anna Z. and Khara were crying. So I hugg

Rachel's first week as an kinda adult 9/1/2019

This has been a very long very weird week. First off I was placed in my brand new home away from home known as university housing. Even though the building seems to have had a two-year-old scribble as a blueprint and the plumbing is sub-par, to say the least, it still is a quaint little place. I really am loving having my own room to have a few mental breakdowns a week and nurse my broken fibula. It's also very nice that the walls are paper thin so any said mental breakdowns can be heard by the whole building, sorry to my fellow alumni but I'm sure your time is coming. I am really liking my roommates. Both are introverted, which is ideal for me as we can all spend an entire day having quality time in our own rooms. Even though we are often hiding in our rooms we do occasionally meander out and meet together in the living room. When we do meet outside the sanctity of our rooms we have good conversation and spend time playing charades or introducing me to K-pop. They are both ver
