The Keys

It is so hot here, the lotion is melting off my legs. Ever since I lived in Texas for two years, I've loved the heat, so I'm not complaining. J'adore the heat. Where I live, the weather is awful. It changes constantly, but most of the time it's cold. This change is welcome. Of course we did suffer from the snowpocalypse this February, it was brutal. I ended up missing over a week and a half of school!

I recently started writing a story. I've written a lot of random short stories, but most of them are really bad and never get finished. I started one called The Keys. I've posted it on FanFiction. I'm only one chapter in so far, but I've been working trying to continue it. I have a big twist I want to include, and every time I want to stop writing, I think about that twist that I want to add so badly. Here is the link, thanks for checking it out: http://www.fanfiction.com/~rachelkeeler

School has started becoming hectic, and I know it's only going to get worse. Tomorrow we have a school picnic for half the day, so our schedule is running on a half day one. Thursday our entire grade gets to go to a local amusement park! On Friday we have a graduation ceremony, then leave school (I'm going to Ichiban with friends), and come back for the dance later. Next come finals. Teachers have already started talking about them, and just the mention of 'finals' stresses me out. I keep thinking about all the studying I have to do and I just collapse. Wish me luck.

Summer is getting closer and closer. Our school is over June 9th....or 10th I'm not sure. You would think that I would know that. Anyway I have been getting so excited, thinking about my summer plans. It turns out that I get to visit old family friends while I'm visiting family in Vermont. They recently got two horses that I get to ride! I'm not a big horse person, but who wouldn't at least want to try it? It was their son that taught me how to drive an old stick shift, hopefully I can get more practice this summer before I get my license! It is Vermont let me remind you, and their house is on this huge hill with fields beyond, perfect for driving cars or riding horses, did I mention they have a pool? Not to make it seem that I only visit them for the things they own, I always have a fun time with them at their house or not.

With the summer starting soon, it makes me think about the next school year. I know it's a far ways away but I always love the beginning of the school year. The shopping for school supplies is fun. I'm not sure why, but I love having empty notebooks and binders just waiting to be filled with papers/notes/folders etc. Of course the new school wardrobe(: and you get to reinvent yourself. Sure it's the same people from last year, but summer is the time for change. People become hotter *winkwink*, different hairstyles, different personalities, etc. So fun!

Before I go, here is a song that I just happen to love.


You know the drill....thanks for checking out my blog.
