The Past Month in Review
Also titled, Yes I am Getting Paid to Screw Around Right Now.

In the past month I have taken a liking to coffee.
In the past month someone has fallen madly in love with me.
In the past month I have stressed too much about school and about work.
In the past month my body has broken down.
In the past month I danced.
In the past month I fretted about what I have gotten myself into.
In the past month I stopped sleeping.
In the past month the women in the Howard family have unknowingly complimented me--

Babo knows me as the girl with the fire. That sounds so cool though in reality it is her way of remembering who I am, the girl with the house fire.
Mrs. Howard thinks I am better than a Catholic girl. If you know Mrs. Howard and her obsession with Catholicism my ability to transcend religion is the most flattering compliment I have ever received.

In the past month the whole howard family has made me feel like a true member of the family.
In the past month I got a tattoo.
In the past month it washed off.
In the past month I was kissed beneath "mistletoe".
In the past month I ate my first candy apple.
In the past month I lied.
In the past month I was the girl with the short skirt and the long jacket.
In the past month I was reprimanded by cops while eating fun dip.
In the past month I was too busy to feel the world changing around me.
In the past month I discovered and wrote a dissertation on the meaning of life.

And to any of you who, in the past month, I have not been able to keep up with, I am sorry. Life has been a bit crazy since I took to being a workaholic. Hopefully I will find time to bug you other than the middle of the night, but if I don't, never feel like you are being a hassle by calling or dropping a message. It is yet another reminder of how I need to change things in the upcoming semester (NEW JOBS!) At the very latest, I will be free for a month-ish over Christmas break. Over break I will finally get the chance to recharge and just do nothing. Everyone tells me I need it, but in all honesty I'm thriving on the no sleep nights and stressed out days. It has gotten to the point where in some sick way, I think I like it.

Until next time...
Rachel
