america, fuck yea!

Well, here i am in our nation's capital! DC!!!! america, fuck yea! haha...seriously though, i'm here in lovely DC visiting the best girl in the world, Julieanne, here at GW. scary how much it looks like BU. the city is awesome and we've been having a blast so far. Julieanne has a single and it's huuuge! and while she's at class i frequently take advantage of her bathtub and catch up on my cosmo ;) such a girlie girl, i know. today we're heading back to georgetown (pretty much the newbury street of DC, for all you hott bostonians, mwah) for shopping round #2. Yesterday i finally found the kick ass shoes i've been looking for at ALDO, oh how i love shopping, thankfully i have a VISA :) i bet most of you who know my shopping habits are thinking, rachel mielcarek should not have a visa, but hey so far (to even my surprise) i haven't missed a payment for a bill, my car, or anything, i am soo on top of my money, impressed, huh?

Okay so let's get down to it, i haven't updated since March. A hell of a lot has happened since March, I've begun to start a new chapter in my life, rachel part II. Rachel part II was supposed to start last year, freshman year at BU, but things didn't quite work out the way i wanted them to. To make a long story short, i loved BU and living in Boston was the best everr, but academically they wouldn't allow me to do what i wanted. I wanted to major in exercise science and minor in dance, but the schedules conflicted and i would have to end up staying at BU for an extra year, and have to go during the summer which is bullshit, cause something as simple as those two major/minor should not take that much extra time. and i was putting out all that money for something i should be able to get done in four years. I was doing a lot of thinking and had an epiphany! well i guess you could call it that.

okay here it is, i realized that i need to be dancing everyday of my life for the rest of my life. I knew it was my passion but i thought through college i could get by with doing a dance team and taking classes- well that wasn't the case. I wanted to double major at a school that had a decent dance program. part II to the the epiphany...i was in steve's dorm and i was watching the discorvery channel, and they were showing a baby giraffe being born and these animals were just so fascinating. They also did a special on orangutans and how they're getting pushed out of their habitat because of deforestation; essentially if people don't take care of this issue these creatures will be extinct. They showed a baby orangutan in a cage reaching out his little fingers, and then i cried hysterically cause i felt so sad that these animals are suffering.

So i thought to myself, what the fuck am i doing with exercise science? I decided to go back to my original dream of working with wild and domestic animals and possibly going to vet school. So during christmas break of freshman year, my parents and i had a discussion about what i wanted to do and decided that i wouldn't go back to BU second semester and i would spend that time looking for and applying to schools that fit my needs. So i found Hofstra in Long Island and was set on going there, cause they had an awesome dance program and bio. I went to see it, i hated it. My friend Eric went there and he was also transferring out, but i got to visit him and that was fun to catch up and hang out. Soo i was like "omg where the hell am i gonna go?" Then found Roger Williams Univeristy...

(i'm gonna continue this in my next journal entry)

tanto amore,
Rachel
