So... I have a problem!

So I've realized I have a problem. Yes, it's true I have a flaw! And the problem is... I procrastinate! It's a disease really. I constantly put things off to the last minute. Take this last week for instance. I knew that I had to give a talk on Sunday. I knew for a whole week... I didn't start until 1 in the morning the night before and ended up finishing about 5 minutes before church started! But hey, at least I finished it.

I think the worst is with school. I can pretty much count on this always happening towards the middle of the semester. I don't want to do my work, so I pretty much don't. Ok, let me rephrase that. I don't want to do my work, so I pretty much wait until the night before it is due to start on it. I know that my grades will end up suffering, but I think I lack the drive that I did towards the beginning of the year.

I went to a concert the other night instead of writing my paper. But the good news is I finished it... the class before it was due. Yes i know! I am an idiot! But at least I know that I have a problem. That is the first step to recovery right?

MJ said the other day that I really need to work on this problem, and I think that she is right. So right now I will stop blogging and finish my English project that is due tomorrow. I only have 2 papers to write. No big deal. Well... I best be off. If you have any tips to help me with not procrastinating let me know. Feedback is much appreciated! Shalom! :)

YAY!!!

Sound the trumpets! Praise the heavens! Start the parade! Why am I so happy you ask? It's because I am no longer totally pissed off at Weber State University! That's right they accepted my math credit!! WHHHHOOOOOO HOOO!!!

As you know I was just a tad upset when they refused to give me the credit that I worked so hard to get. So I called the head of the Math department (he was a major jerk btw) and he basically said that my math wasn't good enough and refused to make an appointment with us. So... we put all the evidence in a nice little folder and dropped it off at his office (he had conveniently left for the day).

Anywho, I got an official looking letter in the mail today and it said that my math was SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY OUR QL REQUIREMENTS AT WSU!!!! YIPEE!!! The funny thing is it was signed by the Dean of the Science department, not the head of the Math department! Ha ha! (I realize he is the one that probably had the authority to write the letter, but I thought it was funny!)

So, now I am happy at the school again. There are no hard feelings. Well, as long as I still get to graduate, which I better be able to. I have all the credits I need. If not WSU can expect a smack down! (dun dun dun)

This pretty much made my day, and the fact that there is no school today either! Happy Friday to you all! Peace!!! :)

I am nerd... this I know!!

Ok... I'll admit it! I'm a dork/nerd/geek! Whatever you want to call it. But the fact of the matter is, I have accepted it and moved on. And quite frankly, you should do the same! Are you confused by what I am talking about? As if my many hobbies don't give you the first clue, here is the subject to which I am referring.

Next week a movie come out... but not just any movie.... HSM3! That's right! HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3!!! I am not ashamed! Mock if you will and judge if you must, but I do not hear your remarks! Because let's face it, this movie is going to be huge! It has already broken box office records in the UK and the movie hasn't even come out yet. Also, the first 2 movies broke cable TV records. So take that and put it in your pocket!!

Not only is Zac Efron quite the leading man (if I could steal him away from Vanessa Hudgen's I totally would...) but he has a nice little singing voice as well.

But Rachel, isn't High School Musical a kids movie? NO! it most certainly is not!! It is a family friendly joy ride that can be enjoyed by all. It may be targeted to the tween audience, but I can guarantee that there will be many 20 somethings at the movie as well.

But Rachel, isn't the movie is cheesy? And to those of you who ask this I say, yes YES it is! And that is why it has become so popular! Because it's cheese factor is one of the highest!

But Rachel, the music and dance moves suck! WHAT?! Who ever says this needs to say that to my face! I will sing "Breaking Free" and "We're All in This Together" at the top of my lungs and then you will change your mind!!!

But Rachel, why are you blogging about this? Well... that is a good question. I am blogging about this because on my radio show tonight, I was made fun of shamelessly be the other 2 boys! This blog is proof that I will not back down! I will stand tall against adversity and will prevail to the end!!!

So pretty much I am super stoked for this movie. I am planning on going with some of my peeps and if anyone would like to tag along you are totally welcome to come! Just give me the heads up!

And if there is someone out there that has no idea what movie I am talking about... well... what rock have you been living under? Here is the trailer to help you understand. Be prepared for some pretty sweet moves and some cheesy moments. My fav is when she stands up in the middle of the crowd! Lol! It's gonna be great! :)

Conference Weekend was fun? Why yes... yes it was!

Wow, Richard is a guitar pro!

That is me! And that is Michaela!

Rachel Smith and Rachel Jenkins. When our powers combine we are "The Rachel's"

Basically our personalities in a nutshell!

So apparently when you get really stressed out... you get sick. Who knew? Still no word on whether this whole thing with Weber State is going to work out (see previous post if you are confused), but I am confident that it will. I have lots of evidence to back up my case.

So, back to being sick. It sucks. I sound like a man! And it is hard to get to sleep when your throat is hurting. Hopefully I won't contaminate anybody. All I can say is Clorox wipes are your friend!

Well, before the whole fiasco of me being mad at my school, I had a great weekend with my peeps. (Yes, the same 2 peeps that I have blogged about before!) Saturday Rach and I went to Mimi's and got a bite to eat and then took a muffin to MJ at work since she was unable to join us for the fun filled evening. After, we went to her house and watched a movie while her husband went to Priesthood session.

When Richard came home he tried to make some sticky popcorn for us... tried being the key word. It was, shall we say, interesting. But it was the thought that counts right?

Sunday we all went over to MJ's to watch General Conference. It was so much fun! Who knew that conference could be fun? I think that is the first time ever... EVER that I have actually sat through an entire session of conference and payed attention. Rich and Rach dosed off for a bit, but they regained consciousness in time to hear the closing remarks by the great President Monson.

I loved it. I actually watched some of Saturday's session and a little bit of the first session on Sunday before MJ's. I can't wait for the Ensign to come out so that I can catch up on the talks that I missed. Wow, I am becoming so righteous! ha ha! :)

After, the famous Richard Smith showed off his mad skills (again) on the guitar. I was able to show some of my skills too, but he just made me feel inferior. (Richard I shake my fist at you!) It was fun! We took some pics while we were at it too, just to prove that we are actually friends... I look like crap in these pics... it's because the sickness that has now taken over my body was making it's way to the surface... I should have known... ok I am done rambling! Until next time my friends! WORD! :)

WTF WSU!?!

Ok another freaking blog about school. First of all, I have no idea what to do on my homework! Freaking English! What in the world am I going to do this project on? I can't concentrate!!!! I am so lost and really don't feel like doing this. I am getting to the point that I usually get to around the middle of the semester where I procrastinate so bad that I get depressed and then nothing gets done right... or on time!

The thing that is really bothering me is WSU! That's right the stupid administration at Weber State University!!!! I went to an academic advisor earlier in the week to see if I was all set to graduate, and she said that everything looks good. All they were waiting for was the department heads to look at my transcripts and make a decision. She even said that I should have nothing to worry about and that I should expect to graduate in December. So all this week I was super stoked because I was planning to graduate. NOW, I look at my transcripts and it says that my math from MTSU will only transfer as Intermediate Algebra, when I need college algebra to graduate. WTF!!! The thing that I don't get is the class title from MTSU is college algebra! I just don't understand how you go from a class that was CLEARLY college algebra to intermediate algebra! I am not going to take another math class when I took it 2 times last year to get a better grade!

I am so pissed right now! What the H is going on with Weber?! Why won't they just accept it? Me and my dad are going to talk to them tomorrow and see what they say. I will even show them the course description from the MTSU catalog and see what they say then! I am really hoping that I can get this fixed! I DO NOT want to take another math class when I have already taken it 3 times (I'm not the brightest when it come to math...)

This sucks! I had an amazing day watching conference with my friends (I'll post on that later) and hanging out with Rach and Michaela... this is not the way I wanted to night to end! Grrr... I am so bugged. We are for sure going to appeal and do all we can to show that they are wrong! I am hoping that it'll get changed! If not then you can probably expect another very angry blog!!!
