Trying to do my head a favor...

Recently I have been experiencing some symptoms of a sickness. No mom, don't worry, I'm not talking fever or signs of diabetes (though, it does cause my head to hurt at times). There are too many things going on inside of my brain; thoughts, lists, excitements, worries, questions, things, plans, etc, etc.. and I simply could not keep up with myself anymore. I have began trying to deal with my problem by means of temporary solutions. In my classes you can find me doodling lists and lists of lists that need to be completed, remembered, looked up, or thought about. I am constantly crunching words and numbers into the "notepad" application of my Blackberry. I have begun plenty journals in hopes that I will somehow find time to set aside each day and handwrite the happenings of "The Life of Rachel Ferry." These journals currently sit on the shelves of my desk, one page for every one-hundred has been inked. My hope is that I can successfully use this blog as an outlet.

Another realization I have come across over Thanksgiving break is that I have no recollection of the details of my college experience thus far. Sure, I generally remember most of the "main events" (which is probably a good thing, because it has only been three months ish), but I really regret not keeping account of every little thing that I have experienced so far. Family and friends would ask me at my huge reunion of a Thanksgiving break "Tell me about Texas!" "What's new with life?" "What do you think of college so far?" and my pathetic answers of "It's awesome!" 's and "Good!" 's frustrated me. I wished so badly that I could summarize my feelings and college happenings more effectively- very irritating! (At this point I am going to shout out an apology to my dad, for not using the journal he gave me to dialogue my college years as he did. You were right.)

This is primary meant to fulfill my own personal objectives (as listed above), but if anyone out there chooses to follow along, twice as awesome. And if not, I am not offended. Indifferent. Nevertheless, I am going to pretend that I am writing to a whole crowd of my biggest fans. I think it's more fun that way.

So is now the part where I give a goodbye? I'm not sure, still trying to figure this whole blogging thing.

Just one more thing... I'm really excited about this :) And my head is already starting to not hurt as bad.
