Being Sick Sucks

UGGGHHHHH....I hate being sick. I got a fever on Thursday and it finally went away today, but my throat is really really sore and I can't talk, AT ALL!!!! It sucks, majorly.

Kevin & Me

Ok, so here is a picture of us. I still don't have the rest of them, but here is a good one:


Kevin & Me 

Don't we look so cute??? I still have to get the rest of the photos we took from when I was in California. This picture is next to the beach. It wasn't such a pretty day, but we looked cute and that is all that matters right??

Anyways, skating is going well. This weekend feels so long cause I have nothing to do. I'm gonna try and hang out with my friend, Sami, tomorrow.... maybe go to the mall or something. Kevin went off to Chase's apartment in Delaware, so I won't see him until Monday, boohoo!!! He cracks me up so much.
I called him to see if he made it to Chase's apartment ok and he was like, "Yeah I made it here, but I'm standing outside his apartment and he won't pick up his phone so I can't get it and I'm freezing."
And I'm like, "Well what is he doing??" almost freaking out and then I tell my dad and he starts freaking out and then Kevin is like, "No, I'm just joking, I'm inside."
The look on my dad's face was priceless. I wish I had my camera, lol!!!

Anyways, I better go. I've got some work to do.

The Training Begins

Ok, so today Kevin and I officially started training for the next season. I'm so tired. I haven't skated this much for about three months and I feel so out of shape. And I know Kevin feels a lot worse cause he sat in a car for three days, driving across the country. I also got killed by Cedric again. My arms hurt so bad, and I don't think they are supposed to. Oh well.
I made cupcakes today as well. For Valentines Day. By the way, Happy Valentines Day!!
Anyways, I have a pyschology test on Thursday, which I need to study for, so I'm off to do that. Hope everyone had a happy day!!!

The Beginning of the Games!!

Ok, so its Saturday night and I'm sitting on the couch with the computer on my lap, watching the Olympics. So far I've seen the mogul skiing, the luge, part of the pairs short program and now I'm watching the 5000m speed skating. I just love watching the Olympics. Hopefully I'll be there one day and everyone will be watching me on tv.
These speed skaters are amazing. Just watching them skate at full speed for six minutes straight is killing my legs. My legs are already sore from my training session I had on Thursday. My trainer, Cedric, loves to kill me. It is good for me, but it is torture. I'm trying to get more flexible and get my splits better, which I need for skating. My hamstrings are really tight so I'm working on those, but they kill in the process. I'm just waiting for all this hard work to pay off. I know it will, it just takes time.
Anyways, I just talked to Kevin like an hour ago and he is about 7-8 hours away. I can't wait till he gets here. I'm so excited. Oops...theres the phone, ttyl!

Welcome to my life!!

Well, welcome everyone to the life of Rachel.
Lets see, I'm an ice-dancer, a freshman in college, and a dog owner.
What more can I say.
I start out my day attending Montgomery County Community College. This semester I'm taking creative dance and pyschology. So far I'm having fun, but will see what happens after the first tests. My pyschology test is next thursday and I've already started studying. I hope I do well on it.
After school I head to the ice rink. I love to skate. It basically is my life. I'm an ice-dancer so I skate with a partner. his name is Kevin and he is actually driving out from California with his best friend, Matt. We practice every day for at least three hours and then go to the gym so my trainer can kill us.
Then I come home, play with my two puppies, R.P. (Rachel's puppy) and Stanley, do any homework I have to and then talk on the phone to some of my close friends.
Other than that, I like to knit and bake and go shopping (which Kevin got me into) and just plain hanging out. If I've got nothing to do, I'll be on the couch watching tv. What can I say? I'm a teenager.
