Who am I?

I am Rachael Lynn, born November 12. I am one of four children, two of which are half siblings. I lived in the small town of Cambria (approx. population is the size of APU) my whole life and graduated high school with a class of 63. I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life, but I am beyond confident that I am here to serve a higher purpose.

As cliche as it sounds, music is my life (but I don't want major in it). I couldn't possibly go into specifics, because I like all genres... well, except for heavy screamo scary music. That just doesn't roll well with me. I'm actually taking a Music Fundamentals course this semester and I get to play the recorder. NO JOKE! I'm totally stoked. They skipped my 4th grade class, so we never got to experience it, BUT! I can safely say that I can play a MEAN version of "Mary had a Little Lamb" on that piece of black plastic.

I guess you could say I'm having issues adjusting to being here at APU. It's weird not being right by the ocean, but even worse, I feel stranded without a car. I, like every other freshman, left my comfort zone for something completely new. Actually, now that I think of it, I really miss clean air (you will find I am very indecisive!). Regardless, I'm trying my hardest to embrace this situation with an open mind and heart so that God can kick my butt emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually this year.

That being said, I'll list a few less detailed facts. I hate feet. Well, no. This one comes with a story. My sister went through a hardcore hippy phase (as does everyone in Cambria) and decided to frolick through forests barefoot. Her feet were disgustingly gross! One day we were sitting on the couch, and she had the bright idea to shove her gross hippy feet in my face... I've been scarred ever since.

MOVING ON! I am lactose intolerant. My parents are divorced, and my dad is going to be remarried in October 2008. No, I'm not really okay with it, but I'm learning to deal. I thought of being a nurse, but I didn't want to be overwhelmed my first year. I want to help people (how cliche is that?). I love dancing, but not in public. I am outgoing, but I'm not really a night person. I love the mornings, but I have a feeling college will change all of that around for me. If I could pick a part time job to have while at APU, I would work for Clinique doing make-up. That would be AMAZING! That's definitely something I enjoy doing, SO! if anyone ever wants their make-up done, you know who to call!

I can say there is much more to me than what is written, but I fear I may get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome if I continue. So, the last thing I will do is answer your question. Why did I not use Rachael Lynn as my blog name? Well, Chelly is my nickname. It's actually pronounced like Shelly. The story behind THAT is that a friend of mine started calling me Chel (just like the last half of my name sounds) but someone else read it and thought it was like Shel instead. So, erego, my nickname, to be cuter than Chel, became Chelly.

Good day. Good blog. The End.
