These are a few of my favorite things...

Two of my favorite things are peanut butter and giraffes. Peanut butter I eat out of the jar on a spoon. Nothing to supplement that pure joy. I once went through a 3 pound tub in 3 weeks. I shouldn't really be proud of that fact but I kind-of am. It was finals, I blame that. Another thing that always brings me joy is a giraffe. There are several reasons I love these awkward creations. For one, they should not work but do by God's grace alone. They are also adorable. And they are tall, an area where I fall short. I remember passing time in English by drawing giraffes with my friend Briana. She is impressively good, a talent I am not blessed to have. Another thing that I will never tire of: the smell of laundry. There is nothing better than that smell and I am probably the only person you will meet that enjoys doing laundry.

Now that you know my favorite things, introductions are in order. I am Rachael, a 20 year old college student trying to find herself. I am in love with my Savior who continues to bless me despite my sinful ways. He has given me a wonderful family and an amazing group of friends that continue to support me in whatever I am doing at the moment. I am a junior at the Colorado School of Mines, a school that I love despite everything it puts us students through. I am getting a degree in Bio-Chemical Engineering. I love engineering and especially the bio-chemical side of it and would want a degree in nothing else. This begs the question, why am I writing then? Learning engineering has severely hindered my spelling and grammar, but although I don't generally enjoy writing, I figured I would try blogging out, mainly as a way to talk through things with myself. I hope that you can get something out of this along with me.
