I'm an Agent.

I do really cool things."


I was only allowed to post these pictures of her if I let her dress me up. So here's Rachael the Geek, future Carnegie Mellon engineering student:

To all the AP Test Takers out There:

Give me a run for my money. All eighty bucks of it. This week is the easy tests, let's make them interesting.

Gatherings

Last night was a lot of fun. After government review session Alexandra, Carolyn and I went out to Red Robin to celebrate my birthday. I had initially asked about ten people if they wanted to come, but even with three people you can have a great time. Perhaps we even had a better time than if we were in greater numbers.
It was Alex's first time, and I think she liked it, even though she doesn't eat meat on Fridays. Carolyn hadn't been there for years, either, so it was a semi-new experience for them both.
I definitely fell for the, "Oh, I'm sorry, but I have to charge you for the next basket of fries," trick the waitress pulled (I haven't been there in awhile, either). Alex tried getting her back when the mud pie fell over and she said she wanted to talk to the manager, but you can't pull a trick like that when you're laughing.
I had a great time, and a great celebration. It was nice to get away from all this AP and college mess and just be able to sit and talk with friends. Carolyn and Alex are awesome people. We should have outings like this more often.

Notable Events of April the 26th

A number of note-worthy events took place today. First, though it's four days after my birthday, I got a birthday cake from my great friend Alexandra.
She actually brought it to school yesterday, but I was in Claremont visiting HMC so she was disappointed and had to keep it in a teacher's fridge overnight. And it was only that late because of the busy schedules that everyone around here keeps. Not that it matters whether I get a cake on my birthday, four days late, or even four weeks late. Cake is welcome anytime. (Keep this in mind when you have the sudden urge to bake something).

Second, I have made a college choice, which leads to the third notable event of the day, which is putting in a tuition deposit for said choice school. Which school, you ask?

This leads to notable event four: Rachael's blog readers explode with suspense.

I know, I know, it hasn't happened yet, but it'll be all over the papers tomorrow, I'm sure.

Then again, if that happened, I wouldn't have any blog readers at all. So I suppose I'll have to give in and tell you anyway.

I decided on Carnegie-Mellon. Out of all the colleges that accepted me, CMU is the best fit for me. It has a great engineering program, is situated near a major city with a good public transportation system, and I clicked with the people whom I met and and talked with there. Those among a variety of reasons, but I don't feel the need to give a ten-page analysis here. What is most important, I've heard, when choosing a college, is going with your gut. My gut tells me that CMU is the place for me.

And when your gut talks to you, that's usually a pretty good sign it's time to eat more cake.
