Early Christmas.

Goodmorning world. My family and I had our Christmas today since my older siblings are driving to Arizona tomorrow, and I must say it was fantastic :D I got many of the things I asked for, and I love everything I received. I especially love the charm bracelet, and waterproof camera I got. My parents know me so well :)

Yesterday I went shopping at the mall, and I saw soooooooooo many things that I would LOVE to buy. Unfortunately Rachel has very little money to spend. It really got me thinking I need to get a job, so I can buy things that I want when I want. Maybe I should do that today...

I'm going to Arizona Friday and I'm not coming back until January 3rd and I am SO EXCITED :D I get to see family I haven't seen in a long time. It's going to be so much fun and I can't freakin' wait :)

4 More Days Till My Christmas.

My schedule is finally slowing down, thankfully. I had my Chorus concert Tuesday and it went pretty well. Me and Leah had a duet, and according to some of the parents there, it was one of the favorites :D Frankly, I'm just glad it's all over and done with, and we don't have to sing the same songs over and over and over again. Last niught I was up late finishing my biology project, making Kyle's birthday/Christmas present, and making part of Haley's present. I stayed up till 12 because I thought we were going to have school today, and I wanted to get everything done. Much to my dismay, school got canceled. I stayed up late for nothing. -_-

Also, I lost my phone on Tuesday night. I think I left it at Leah's house or in her car and hopefully she'll find it soon. I miss my phone <3

Oh, the Weather Outside Is Frightful.

I have soemthing to do every single night tonight. Awesome. But I'm actually kind of excited about it. Tomorrow, I'm going to practice with Leah for our Santa Baby duet and then I'm going to see the Madrigal dinner :D I'm excited to go and see Malgie, and Liz sing! Oh, AND Jake too.... ;) Then Wednseday and Thursday I have after school Chorus practice which should be....interesting. I have a feel Mrs. Snow will get fed up with us by then and most likely have a meltdown. Great huh? Friday I babysit from 5-12 and then Saturday morning it's GAME TIME! State Championship, Davie vs. Durham at Wake Forest! :D Heck yes DCAW. I don't think anyone ever expected Davie to get this far, especially not me. It should be a freakin' amazing game.


You guys just got a sneak peak of a normal week in the life of Rachel Whitaker. You're welcome.


My future husband. <3 :D

Cause You Know I'd Walk A Thousand Miles.

Man am I beat. This week is killing me already and it's only Tuesday. I'm actually trying to pay attention and understand Englsih since I haven't been doing so hot in that class..and so I've been having to do more homework/studying. I started my Honors Biology project and it takse up like another hour of my night. Also, I started working out again this week, since I most likely gained about ten pounds last week, and boy am I sore. Even my butt is sore in some places. ugh. I'm tired. I probably should go to sleep soon.

I was recently informed that I haven't written about my wonderful friend Louisa ( Maggie) in my blog. So I decided to fix that problem right now. That girl is awesome. I am sad that cross-country is over and that I never get to see her beautiful face. But I'm super excited for next year and the amazing adventures we will have together, especially the silly string wars :D I love Louisa! <3

I wish I could paint. So I could paint the the things around me. Everything is so amazing I just wanna put it on paper so I would always have it with me.

 

 I love my life <3 <3

Eskimos or Eskimaux.

I was in some serious pain today. Like, I have no idea what was going on in 2nd period because I was in so much pain. I started complaining and praying that the pain would go away. And it got me thinking about Christ, and how much pain he went through for us. I know it's kinda weird to think about that when I was in pain, but it actually makes sense. The pain I was going through today Christ felt too, but it was only a tiny-weeny part in all the pain Christ felt, and he never ONCE complained.. I felt silly for complaining after I thought about it. But I'm so glad for what He did, and I have no idea what i would of done without Him doing what he did. Thank you Lord <33

 

So excited for this weekend. :DDDD

This Is Definitely A Fist Pump Song.

So I'm pretty sure this weekend was pretty awesome. The best in a long time.

Friday night I rode up to the North Davidson vs. DAvie game with Jacob, Liz, Tyler, and Megan. And we got wayyyyyyyyy lost. We ended up driving all the way down to Greensboro and the Corey Convention Center. Half the reason was that Megan was driving adn I think the other half was that us people in the back weren't much help because we were singing as loud as we could to the songs on the radio. But finally, after MANY phone calls for directions, we got to the game at the beginning of 3rd quater, where all the amazing plays started to happen. We were losing 0-10, but in the end we won  35-10 :D Yay for Davie! Way to pull off what no one thought you could pull off!

Yesterday I went to Chelsea's house and we got to be gangsters together :) We made up an awesome rap for our English project that we are very proud of. After leaving Chelsea's house at like 2, I went home and watched Lady and The Tramp for like an hour, and then I had to go to my rehearsal. I was at my rehearsal for about an hour and then I went to my best friends house. I love that girl so much. We can do anything together and have fun. Anyways, we made a card for Malgie's birthday, or at least Haley pretty much did. And then we were off to her big surprise birthday party! She was so surprise and she kinda just stood there for a while and tried to take it all in. Everyone there had so much fun, and I'm so glad I went. Malgie definitely deserved that party, I love her and I hope she has an amazing birthday :D

Well it's time for me to go watch another Veggie Tales movie, so catcha later bloggers.

King Like Mine.

Today I did pretty much nothing. I sat around and watched Disney movies. I love Disney movies. They make me happy. :)  It's good I got  lazy day today because these next two weekends are going to be busyyyyyy. On Saturday, I have a rehersal, I have to record me and Chelsea's project for English which I'm writing tonight, and I hopefully get to hang out with Haley. Next weekend is Haley's birthday so me and some other girls I think are going to sleep over at her house, and then the next day I have a recital and the XC banquet. I like having a lot of things happening on the weekends. I'm superr excitedd :DDD

Weather whores and Haley Ginther make me laugh. :)

Bo Burnham is my new favorite singer/rapper. "I hate catchy choruses, and I'm a hypocrite. Hungry, hungry hypocrite."<333

Historia Fresco Hermano.

So, yesterday was a pretty dang good day. I saw Carrie AND Haley before school started, which was pretty awesome. First period we didn't really do anything, and second was as boring as ever. Third period I have Spanish 1 and that class is always fun. Although, Ms. Davis raised her voice at Sarah after class because all me , her, and Amber do in that class is tell jokes and look up cool phrases in Spanish. I thought it was stupid how she got all upset, because we are all making an A in that class and we we're technically learning Spanish from looking up the Spanish phrases. whateverr.

The Davie game was crazy. Even though like there were barely any Davie Crazies. I got really into the game, and I actually watched and understood the game for once :D It was freezing cold, and the bleachers were wet. A great combination. I couldn't feel my toes by the 3rd quarter. Oh, and I got pressure into chugging Diet Coke from a vuvuzela. It was quite an intense experience. But, now that I think of it, it probably wasn't the most sanitary thing to do.

Today I gotten woken up at 6:30; great start to the day, right? Got on the bus to go to the stat XC race with wet hair, a jug of chocolate milk, and one shoe on. I talked to Liz and Holly most of the way there, or well at least they talked and I just kinda sat there and listened. They are some funny girls :) At the race, it was freezing and wet as all get out; I had about 3 layers on and I was still cold. The varsity girls and Alex did awesome though! I would not of been able to race that fast in the cold. They are incredible athletes.

Two of my best friend's birthdays are this month! :D

Two More Months of the Year.

Today was actually a pretty good Monday. In first period, we got to be a person in the older times who had cancer. And I was an African American who got breast cancer :( But on the plus side I didn't die! Carrie was a black Asian.....a Blasian :D And she wasn't good at school which didn't make sense because she was Asain. And all asians I know are smart. Well, at least all the Asians I've seen on TV. 

And then I got to see Brooke Hess and Sydnee Autry after school :D I love those two, I miss Brooke though, because I never freakin' see her anymore. But me and Sydnee vented to each other, and it was quite awesome. She is one of my favorite freshman <33

Blond Joke: What happened to the blonde tap dancer?
 She slipped off and fell down the drain.

How Great Thou Art.

So, yesterday my dad took me and my two other sisters to go see Carrie Underwood/Billy Currington in concert. And it. was. AWESOME. WE were in this suite , so we weren't that close to the stage, but it was still really fun. It's crazy seeing celebrities actually in person, because it makes them seem more real and down to earth and not as imaginary. And let me just say, Carrie Underwood has a freakin' amazing voice.

Today at church we talked about Christ's atonement. It's ridiculous how much he did for us. The pain he went through is completely unimaginable. If you measured how much pain the whole world was going through at this very second, it wouldn't even be close to the pain Jesus was in. We talked about forgiveness and how if we don't forgive others than we're pretty much mocking Christ atonement. I felt pretty crappy after that, because there are some people that I do hold grudges against and that I don't want to forgive. But I decided that from now on I'm going to try and be a more forgiving person because I don't want to waste what Jesus Christ did for me.

 ☼

I'm so tired of irresponsible people. I'm tired of being stood up. It's not a fun feeling. So, from now on I'm not even going to bother one bit. And you know the funny thing? Nothing will change.

Sometimes I wish I had moved to Tennessee.

☼

You wanna try being less of a jerk? OH wait! You can't..

Today was an early release day. Effff yes. We pretty much did nothing in all my classes allllll day long. Spanish 1, Amber, Sarah, Kyle, and me looked up jokes the whole period. All the jokes were mainly Helen Keller jokes, and they were freakin' hilarious. I love that class and early release days <333

The tornado warning scared the dump out of me. And I saw no sign of a tornado at all. Thank you, newscast, for making me scared out of my mind for no reason.

How did Helen Keller burn her ear? She answered the iron...How did she burn the other ear? They called back. :DDD

Cool Story Bro.

Today was the last XC meet this year :(( WE ran at West Forsyth and it sucked because I hate that course. But I got my best time! 31:41, which still isn't very good, but it's pretty dang good for me. It makes me sad, that cross country is over for the season though.I mean I LOVE the people on that team and how much fun we have together, I just don't like the running part so much. That doesn't really make much sense, but whatever. I'm ready for it to start again <33

Day Diez.

School, school, go away.

Why do you have to be so gay?

School, school, go away.

Nobody likes you anyways.

Day Nueve.

Monday.

   Monday
        Monday.

You know what? I feel bad for Monday. He's always the bad day. He is rarely ever a good day. And everyone is always hating on Mondays because it's the beginning of the week, and they can't wait for it to be over. And, plus it rains a lot on Mondays, which apparently makes it worse, even though I love rain so it doesn't make sense to me. Instead, everyone loves Fridays. Well what if Friday is a big jerk that always brags about being the favorite and is a big bully toward Monday? Now I admit, I do love Fridays most of the time, but I think I need to spread the love.

                                                                


















I love YOU, Monday.

Day Ocho.

I'm pretty sure I'm in love with Disney music. And not the new crap they have now a days; the old Disney songs from like The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin. That music is the stuff. My sisters and I blasted some of that on the laptop and we all sang along. It's so sad that most kids won't know what Cinderella is in like 30 years.

Chicken liver is disgusting. we used it today in Biology and I wanted to barf. It smells like dump, and people apparently eat it. They even have liver pudding.; hold on, I just got the urge to puke.

Chorus has offically become my favorite class. We barely do anything in that class other than sing, hah go figure. I love all the girls in there, even though most of them are silly little freshman ;D We sit there and talk, and joke around, and the songs we're singing are freakin awesome. I love Mrs. Snow.

Oh and Sydnee Autry is about to become my favorite junior varsity cheerleader. SQUADMATE! Hehe, I love her ;)

☼

Day Siete.

This weekend = awesomeness.

Saturday I got to have a Haley & Rachel day :D :D We have so much fun together. She tried to teach me how to 'flag'. It didn't work out so well; if I was in flags, I would of killed myself by now. We also ate Zekos, and I got stared at while I was eating spaghetti by an extremely creepy man, and Haley cleaned her pores with a siler ware sticker. Hehe, I love my best friend <33

I love days like today. Days where you don't do anything other than sit around, read, and go to church. These are the kind of days that get me through the week. I thank God for Sundays; actually I should thank God for everything. He's given me so much, and most of it I don't even deserve. I am so blessed.

Thank you, Lord, for my wonderful life.

☼

Day Seis.

I decided today that I could never ever ever be an English teacher. i hate grammar too much. Like with a passion. I try to get it, but it's a lost cause for me. I personally think it's a waste of time. I mean who the heck cares about a subordinating clause in a sentence? You don't ever use it other than in school. Pointless.

I also went to the first science club meeting today :D There were so many people there, but it was still exciting! We get to go on field trips and do experiments and sciencey stuff. I'm nerd, and I'm proud of it. :)

TOMORROW IS FRIDAY :D

☼

Day Cinco.

I miss you.

the end.

Day Cuatro

School makes me so stressed. I don't remember it ever being this strenuous last year. I feel like I barely have any fun, and everyday goes by so freaking fast. i mean what is it, like the third week of school? Already? I do not like it one bit. I think I should kick school in the butt, see how they like it..

Kyle wrote me a rap, actuallly two, in Spanish class a couple of days ago. I feel bad because I didn't get it to tell the the invisible person who reads this, so I'm going to put the lyrics on here right now.

 Rachel is a cheater

and we know he actions

to be awful and mean

is her fatal attraction

to the ones she hurts

by whispering

her breath should be no more...

this is her destiny

Racheeeel is a cheater

Racheeeel is a cheater

She tears apart people's 

souls and does not know

when to quit

Rachel....

she has no perfect fit

Because....She is 

a Cheeeater

Cheeeater

Cheeeater

and she has no bounds

for what I have found

is for sure

Rachel is a cheater

Foreeeeeeeever more!

Now that is praise-worthy. He spent like the whole Spanish class writing that. Those lyrics just made me feel all fuzzy inside. I was thinking of sending it to like Usher or something, and then I could say I started K-Dizzles career. :D

☼

Day Tres.

Today wasn't so bad for a Monday. First period-Biology, did a lab like the whole time. Second, English 2, drew most of class. Third, Spanish 1, easiest class like ever. Fourth, Chorus, I love because I mean who doesn't like singing with a bunch of freshman? XC practice we did trail, half mile-ish loops, which sucked.P.S I love Malgie Leszczuk! :D

After practice we( Jacob, Justin, Johnny, and me) went and made fun of Jason at the tennis match and talked with Evan for a little while. I decided Evan is my favorite freshman little man.

So that's pretty much my fun-filled Monday in a nutshell. Exciting isn't it? I think it's time for me to be done because I need to go take a shower because I still stink from XC; grossssssssssssssss.

☼

Day Dos.

Sunday. Woke up and sat around reading till is about time to go to church. During church I found out my Sunday school teacher was a total jerk in high school and said stuff like "I wished your parents had aborted you." It's all good now because he apologized and everything, but i still feel awful for those kids. I mean I would CRY my eyes out if someone told me that.

When we got home from church we had Jacob's family birthday party. He finally turned 17, and all he got was a card and money. That my friend, is sad in my case. When he finished reading the cards, I was like "That was it?"

Oh well, at least it wasn't me. Happy 17th Birthday Jacob! :D

Nothing really eventful happened today; nothing ever really does on Sundays. They're just those days where you don't have anything to do but sit around and read or take a nap. I like those days. Although, there was an Aladdin marathon on today, and sadly I did not get a chance to watch it, and it made me very upset because Aladdin is like the greatest Disney movie of all time :(

I got on Facebook recently today and it said I had two group invitations so I clicked on it, and this thing showed up that said 'Find more friends'. Jacob found that quite hilarious.

To anyone who is reading this, I am sorry for you. You must have no life if you are reading all this pointless stuff I'm  writing about..... But I don't have any followers right now, so I guess that means that no one is reading this, which makes me feel better. But that also means that I'm kinda writing to myself, which makes me feel like a loser.

☼

Day Uno.

It's Saturday. A very slowwwwww day. Got to wake up at 6:30 to get ready for a cross country 'relay' ( It didn't really seem like a relay to me since it was still like a mile and a half). Got there, warmed-up, and ran. My specific relay team lost-no surprise-but Davie girls won over all. Hooray for us :D We were all went out cold when we got on the bus on the way home; I couldn't see a single head over the seats.

Got to the school around 1:30ish, went to eat at Shikis with a bunch of guys, and four girls. It was hilarious. Let's just say that after some of those conversations, I feel sex as more of a deadly thing. Which brings me to my favorite quote of the day "The best birth control is to get an Aspirin, put it between your knees, and hold it there." :D

I didn't really get to do anything that I wanted to do today, but it still turned out pretty okay. The only thing that made me really upset was that I didn't get to hang out with Haley :(  I never get to see her anymore and I miss her. I miss a lot of people actually. It makes me wish it was last year again, but at the same time i don't want it to be. Very frustrating.

I just need to keep telling myself that whatever happens is what God wanted to happen, and there isn't anything that I can't handle with him by me.
