So this week I've been really frustrated. I've been home sick for the past two days, and that just makes me feel worse. I hate just sitting at home, doing nothing, because that means that I've missed things at school. And make-up homework is the worst. So my mom has had to make me stay home, which I guess is good for me, but I still get bored. Also, I have a big paper due next week, and I'm having trouble getting started on it. I can't seem to find the research for it, which is really bothering me. Basically, this week has just been one big fail. On the other hand, I applied for this journalism camp that I reeeeeallllyyyyy want to get into this week! I won't find out if I got in for another couple of days, but I'm hoping that I do.

P.S.-For anyone that reads this, I promise it won't be so gripey every week! I just had a few bad days, is all:)

Welcome to my blog!!! Since this is my first post, I think I should start out by telling just a little bit about me. My name is Rachel, and I am a junior in high school in a little town in Illinois. I actually like school and learning, especially English and history. Also, I'm involved in a lot of school activities, which means almost no free time, but that's alright with me. In the free time I do have, I enjoy photography, which I love, and reading and writing and tennis. I also love to spend time with my friends, who are fun and great. I could go on about the things I love to do, and my interests, but that would get boring so I'll move on. Basically, I want this to be a blog about life, and my thoughts on it, and all that good stuff. I hope you enjoy!:)
