Malachi might be fixed this weekend! That might not be exciting news for you, but I’ve been without Malachi for the past three months… (Malachi is my mini iPod.) He really just needs a new battery, and I don’t see how paying the Apple company $60+ for a new battery is really going to help seeing as how A. They’re out of style to begin with and B. Last time I checked, I had four dollars and a quarter to my name. Now, I just need to transfer my entire library and delete the tracks I don’t normally listen to. I miss my music library…

EDIT - March 14th 2007
Over and hour later, and I have my entire library over to my dad’s laptop. I’m a very happy Rachel.

The spring season has finally come, and I’m excited… I hate the coldness. ‘Coldness’ is in my list next to country music, orange flavoured tic tacs and mislabled soda fountain drinks.

I applied for the National Honour Society a fews ago, and I was accepted! For the first level at least… I still have to send in a few references, a self-evaluation and a few other things. It’s still a little overwhelming–I’ll be a seniour and in less than two years, I’ll be out of the house and starting my life. I’m not sure how else the National Honour Society will benefit me aside from a pin and something on the diploma, but *shrug* I guess it’s something extra I can brag about to my kids.

My leader from the France Reachout trip is coming over this weekend to speak at my church. I’m excited since it’ll be the first time in over eight months that I’ve seen someone from the trip. I’ve been talking/sending emails/facebook comment-ing everyone else, but it’ll be nice to actually see someone in person.

My piano teacher has been reassuring me of my skills and the level of difficulty I’ve come to in not only my theory but also my playing. I’m kinda skeptical, but… She has been a piano teacher, music majour at ECU, and a band/orchestra (whatever) teacher in Wilson for x amount of years. My ‘college level’ of playing has just reached Carl Bach’s Solfeggio in C minour. This kid on the youtube video is crazy good at the solfeggion on the electric. Now, I just need to transfer it all to the piano. I’ve got a few measures down, and I’m about a fourth of his speed.

I was I was cool enough to have magical fingers of dexterity.
