Rachel Berry


About

Rachel is a powerhouse in a small package. She's very opinionated and won't hold back what she thinks, often speaking without thinking of a person's feelings. Despite her short height, she can appear very intimidating when angered. She also has a natural ability to act her way out of just about anything. When she signs her name, she always puts a gold star after it. It's a metaphor for her being a star. She typically displays a lot of confidence outwardly, though inwardly she's less confident. She tried her hand at bulimia once, though she discovered she didn't have a gag reflex (which she was told would be a blessing later in life) so it didn't work. After that, she never gave it another thought deciding that it wasn't for her. All of her attention is focused on being a part of something great, becoming a star. She doesn't give much time for anything that won't serve that purpose, especially boys. They're a waste of time and an unneeded distraction. Even so, she secretly wants to be loved, it's entirely possible that she uses her busy schedule as an excuse rather than a reason she hasn't dated anyone.

Hanukkah begins tonight at sundown. I would like to commemorate this with a Hanukkah song during Glee this week.

I've been listening to Evita practically non-stop since we did Rocky Horror, and I still think we should have done that instead. I would have been much more accepted by the audiences. I think we should do it this spring.

I went to visit Finn last night and I'll probably be going back tonight. As long as he doesn't tell me to stay away. So if you need me to pass anything on, please let me know.

A lot really can change in a year. A year ago, I was a nobody who got daily slushie facials. A year ago today, Finn and I went on our first date.

Now I'm a Cheerio Though I'm still not sure I like it. and Finn and I are still together. I have to admit I wasn't sure at times if we would reach this milestone.

Happy anniversary, Finn.

Back to the dance craze. I have a big recital coming up next week, a week from today, actually. I've been working overtime trying to get everything ready for it. I have the lead in two of the group numbers though I should have it in all of them and have one solo routine as well.

It's in the Harmony University theatre if you're interested in coming. As always, college students are free, high school students half off and general admission is $10 per person. I'm unsure of the faculty rates, but Nyota, I can get you in free since you're my sister.

Wow, there are definitely a lot of new people around here lately. I guess I've been too busy to notice, or maybe they really all came at once.

Hello to everyone I haven't met yet. My name is Rachel Berry and I'm a dance major at the university. If you go to the university, I'm sure that we will cross paths one of these days, though my schedule does tend to keep me pretty busy from time to time.

Speaking of my schedule, to my friends: I want to apologize for being so absent. You know how it goes, preparing for a recital can get extremely strenuous at times. I have a little free time this week, so if anyone wants to catch up, let me know.

This goes for you too, Ny. You would think that going to the same school my sister teaches at we'd see each other all the time, but apparently it doesn't work that way.

I have to say that I'm glad I'm taking no part in this madness. I have no sudden fiancès or boyfriends, which I might remind you is fitting since dating isn't conducive to my schedule. I have two dads as I always have and I have always had my sister even though I hate to admit it.

Speaking of my sister, Nyota, according to dads, I invited you to Pesach dinner next week or something, though I have absolutely no recollection of this and I'm not honestly sure why I would. But if you were planning to come, I guess you can. Whatever, it's a family dinner, even if it was my idea.

That is if you're not too busy reveling in the attention you're getting from your little problem... if you even really had a problem.

For someone whose already busy, taking care of my sister has proven to be quite the challenge, but I have put my dancing aside until I know she's doing better. So far there's little to no improvement, so it honestly makes me feel better to know that I'm doing something to help her. I just wish I could be there more, like during the school hours, but unfortunately I can't miss school, it was my dads' only rule on letting me stay with Nyota during this time.

On a completely unrelated subject, it just occurred to me that Pesach is coming up, only ten days after tomorrow. It was only after that that it occurred to me that I didn't know what it was or why it was important. Upon looking it up, I learned that it meant Passover, which is really important to the Jews. I might be a little confused right now as to why I suddenly feel like it's important that I recognize it.

I know I haven't posted here in a while, but I've been really busy with school and dance. More lately, however, I've just not really been sure what to say. Am I worried about the people who disappeared? I don't know know them, or in Light's case I don't know him very well, but I still worry. Not only about them but about everyone. What if this is only the beginning and even more people disappear?

Ny, if you start to think someone is following you or something, let me know, okay?

It didn't occur to me until today, but Christmas is only twelve days away.

I can't focus on anything today. Schoolwork, cheerleading but worst of all, dancing. I've never had this much of a lack of concentration for dance. Usually as soon as I turn the music on I'm in my own world, but today nothing.

I've been practicing back handsprings and round offs for hours and I feel like I'm not improving any. Don't get me wrong, I can do them well enough but tumbling certainly isn't my talent. I dance. I'm incredible at dance.

I just feel like something is missing. I'm just not sure what.

Maybe I'll go somewhere alone and sing for a little bit. That usually cheers me up.

I wasn't going to get one of these things. I don't really have the time with my busy high school schedule, but I suppose I can put aside a little bit of time to write in here once in a while.

My name is Rachel Berry. If you go to Harmony High, you probably know of me though I may not know you. I'm a sophomore and a cheerleader. I'm pretty sure most of you want to be me.
