About this blog
My name is Rachel, I'm 24, and this is my blog. I'm an aspiring writer with a serious case of wanderlust. I am currently writing from Compiegne, France, where I'll be until July 2011, while doing an assistantship through the French government teaching English to elementary school kids. I'm trying to make this blog something to be proud of, even if I lack consistency. I'll try to share my best pictures, regular updates on my life, links and news of interest, and maybe -hopefully- even the occasional short story. Comments, ratings, and other interaction is highly encouraged!-

Crazy third month
Ok, so I have to apologize for once again falling off the blogging sled. However, these past two weeks have been quite insane. As a result, I have a lot of catch-up blogging to do! First of all, the beach … Continue reading
Back in the ‘burg.
I’m back in San José, and I’m actually pretty happy to be back. (This is surprising for me because I am anything but a city girl.) I’m going to put up some pictures and posts tomorrow about the beach, which … Continue reading
Guanacaste
I’m currently spending the week (Aug 11-18) near the beach in Guanacaste, the northwest corner of Costa Rica. I should have some good pictures and interesting commentary on the trip when I get back. As for now, I’m without my computer, … Continue reading
WE BOUGHT A BUCKET!!!
Ok, for those of you with money or, you know, hot water, you may not appreciate the magnitude of this news. However, the other day, we went to the grocery store, and since I was feeling frivolous, we bought a … Continue reading

So apparently, my picture is on the cover of the Susquehanna University commencement DVD. It’s me with Brittany Wood, and I can only imagine what she would have to say about the picture.
In recent news
Sebastian busted up his knee on Tuesday (7/8/08), and is off of work for ten days as a result. He’s kind of bummed, mostly that he can’t skateboard, but nothing is broken so pura vida. He fell trying to jump … Continue reading
Getting found
So I’ve decided that getting lost is just a negative way of saying that you found a new route. Today, I pinned down one of my biggest frustrations and confusions. I have been having so much trouble approaching anyone here … Continue reading
Update on my life (ramble)
