Blog 13: Connecting

June 27, 2009 chelswwjd3

For this blog assignment I read a blog from a girl in the other english class. I was able to relate in some ways to Rachel’s Self Destruct blog. In order to control her lashing out at the people she loves, which I do not do, she jogs, which I love to do. Just like me, she said she runs to clear her mind and that it relaxes her. Just being outside feels like a relief to me. I love going on walks with my dog. Whenever I go out to eat I always ask to sit outside, even if it is hot, because the fresh air is relaxing. Like Rachel, I feel like I need to get away from people when I am upset, not because I am afraid to hurt them, but because I am afraid I will get angery and make a rash decision or say something that I will regret later, and yes this has happened. Then, I have wished more than anything that I could go back and change it. By getting outside, it gives me a chance to cool off and think clearly instead of feeing like I need to take action. Rachel is a girl who I think I could become good friends with. I read some of her other blogs and she seems really nice and we both love working out and jogging. I also saw that she goes to school in Waco so I am guessing she goes to Baylor, which I am starting at in the fall. Maybe we will run into each other.
