Thoughts from Cleaning

          I just spent the last few hours in a very clean-y mood.  And while I cleaned, I thought (because it's a thing humans do).
          I miss my mom.  She's in Las Vegas for a few more days, and yeah, I miss her.  Not for any particular reason, but being home without her is strange -- even though it seems normal for me to be away from home and not really miss my family much.  I'm definitely not the type of teenager who can't wait to leave home and my parents.
          College is scary and overwhelming.  I was cleaning out my "stack of stuff" and pulled out literally five inches of brochures/letters/"you're special, Rachel, we really didn't mass produce this" things colleges have sent to me.  And I set them aside again, because I've already decided that I will not deal with any college stuff until summer.
          School is blah.  I'm terrified that I might not pass my AP tests, because... man, I have a pretty big stack of study materials too. :-P  But I will do what I must do.
          Weevil freak me out.  (Not the beetle weevil, those things I call weevil but probably aren't really called weevil that eat grains and stuff.)  Years ago I found out that some lived under my bed (which made absolutely no sense, as the only food was a couple of packaged Air Heads) and now just seeing them freaks me out.  They're gross.
          I enjoy the fact that I like '80s music almost as much as my dad.
          And finally, I love my family. :-)  Even if we don't have as clean of a house as most people I know, we don't let messes get to us, and I'm good with that.  A house is meant to be lived in.

Don't forget to be awesome!
