Staring at Happiness...

Why Mel and I should no longer be on RCGA

Me: I move to cancel Wednesday.
Roomie: I second the motion!
Me: All in favor?
Me and Roomie: Ay
Me: All opposed: *silence* *crickets*
Roomie: Well, that passes...

I would love for you to make me wonder...

WOW,
So much wonderful stuff has been happening that I just can't wait 2 weeks to write it down ;) Thursday, where we last left off, was hot dog day. Yeah, free hot dogs, seeing about every one of my friends, and then a nice after party of sorts at the Student Center. But bigger news was that I got to go to Spamalot! My lovely neighbor Megan offered an extra ticket and I got to go. So I went of to NYC w/ Elyse and Steinhart, we got to go to Keats for a free meal then off to Spamalot, which was hilarious. Better than The Producers even. Icing on the cake was that Elyse got Tim Curry's autograph for the both of us and then I stuck around to get Hank Azaria's. I wanted to get David Hyde Pierces but t'was not meant to be, back on the bus for me, I did get to see him though. And we got to watch Batman on the Bus..hell yeah. Pretty much nothing will top that experience, I had so much fun, Elyse and I were floating on a cloud for the entire bus ride. Billy Crudup can call it priceless.

Sunday was training for RCGA which went suprisingly fast, and then dinner w/ the fellow student politicians. Always a pleasure.
I forgot to mention in my last post that I will be taking a graduate course next semester w/ Prof. Heumann. It's going to be absolutely awesome, as I don't have to do any of the graduate work, just work as a research assistant for Heumann, on a very interesting paper (that will most likely get published) Sweetness.
That's pretty much all for now, this pretty much means I won't be posting forever, classic rachel.

Random IM
(Me and Jill discussing the perennial Classic hit "Da Dip")
RainbowR21: seriously, i never listen to that
oHereinmyHeado: yeah rrrright
RainbowR21: really, the lyrics aren't that hard to remember..i can't recall, what happens after you dip?oHereinmyHeado: lol im laughing tooo hard

And you people who read but don't comment, I know you read this, I've had over 500 hits..so comment...unless you want to tease me about Da Dip, coz then u can just shove it.

Peace, Love and very small rocks

Photographs and Still Frames in Your Mind

It seems to me that the only free time I have to write in this thing is when I'm at work. So here I am, it's way too early in the morning, I finished my Africa paper, and now I'm talking to you fine people. Howdy.
This week has been nice and crazy. I WON REELECTION! As did running mate Nick, and buds Mel and Shawn, nice job guys. Thanks to all my buds who made an effort and voted, I truly appreciate it, you have no idea.
This week has been the sad reality that all our seniors are leaving RCGA. We had our last old body meeting on Tuesday, which was long, but fun and terribly sad as we realized it would our last meeting w/ Adam and Chris, and crazy Kristen antics, not to mention all the others leaving us. Grrr, I hate this. Its such a familliar feeling, like junior year of high school when all my senior friends left and I too had to realize that it wasn't long til I was gone as well. Thats probably what I'm most sad about. Facing the fact that in less than a month, i will be a College Senior, and soon a graduate..wtf, mate. Where'd it go?
Last nite was Passing the Gavel, the final of the 2004-2005 RCGA season, which featured kickass food at the Rutgers Club and a nice 3 hour dinner. I'm looking forward to next year on the body, we've got so much done this year, I can't wait to see what we can pull off in the future.
Better, was the following party at the Sigma Alpha Mu house, with the awesome slideshow, crappy beer, and the best part, drunk Pat O'Connell. He's even more hilarious when he's toasted. I got to chat up with a bunch of people I never really got to know, and Mel and I stayed for about 4 hours, got home just in time for me to catch like 5 hours of sleep before i had to come here *blowz raspberry* Josh Ontell was nice enough to walk us home to make sure we didn't get mugged, which was greatly appreciated, since I had no money on me.

All right, I gotta get ready to blow this popsicle stand and go to class. Just want to say to all the current and leaving members of RCGA: you guys have made my year. I've never had this much fun with an student organization before.

All the best, and stay in touch!

Love to the rest of ya as well ;)

So find a new lifestyle, a reason to smile...look for nirvana...

Buenos dias chicos y chicas!

It is a totally beautious day, so of course I am here working at the helpdesk..oh baby. It's slow as slow can be, probably because no one is inside looking at their magical computer box, they are out enjoying nature, becoming one with the earth and all that jazz. Today we got to have half of class outside, which was awesome..I haven't been able to do that since high school when we'd beg our teachers to let us roam. It was nice.
Spring break was 2 and a half weeks ago, now all I want is summer..gah. I have been hanging out w/ pals and Rutgers Clubbers, good times all around. Last Friday I got to go see Sin City w/ Steinhart's crew, and Elyse (yes, diet soda). It was mildly amusing, definitely a guy flick, which doesn't bother me, coz I like watching stuff blow up as much as the next person. And hookers with guns? Hell yeah...;) This week is elections for RCGA and my friends have been great, they all voted, so super shout out to you people..you're awesome. Nick and I have been trying to chalk up the campus, but apparently the maintance people don't appreciate it..psssh..
In other news, I am totally hating academics this semester. I can't seem to do anything right...Modern Africa (the class, not the concept) can kiss my booty. I think I just need to lock myself in the library this weekend and get my shit together. It sucks that I can't make it to any of my professors office hours because I have back to back classes everyday...gulp...
I'm trying to figure out what to do this summer. My dad says he's trying to get me a car, but he makes that promise a lot. I need at least two jobs, because I need to make some money. I think I'm going to tryp and work the deli on nights and weekends, and work in a law office, or maybe the courthouse during the day. I'm trying to see if I can get one of the paid internships at the Congressmans office, coz then I'll know who I'm working for, but who knows. I miss when summer used to = nothing. Sleep in, don't work, go to the lake, go fishing, etc. Big ole Sigh! All righty, time to pretend to work...see you kids.
