The extent of my break has been me sitting on my bed catching up with all this stuff that I normally wouldn't get the chance to watch because almost all of my life from about 8am-1am is taken by Champlain College. Classes, work, homework, 2nd job, more homework, and oh yeah, I have an internship to throw in the blender for next semester as well. Yippee! So while I can, I am watching everything I can get my hands on. I've watched season 1 of Hereos (amaaaaazing show!), season 1 of House (I like him!), and a BUNCH of movies I stole (read: borrowed) from my roommate, Ashley.
Well, good news. I've finished everything I stole from her, and now I'm just trying to catch up on LOST before the new season begins Feb. 2nd. Only 1 small problem though with the new season coming out. :( It's on a Tuesday night. Unfortunately, that is the same night that Ryan and I will be in Music Makers... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
So I guess what's going to have to happen is that we'll just have to wake up early Wednesday morning to watch what happened the night before. Which is going to be kind of awful. Haha. Oh well...
Oh, and another thing I have to do: Watch the show Charmed from start to finish. My fantastic friends Velvet and Ryan decided to help me finish off my collection by buying me 2 seasons a piece for my x-Mas present. Awwwww. You guys are so sweet!
I'm at a loss as what to give Velvet for her present though. See, I did give her a present, but then she basically blew up at me and wanted the receipt to go return it STAT. Sooooooo......glad I tried. -_- Idk, I'm out of money so she'll have to either just deal with what she got or wait till I win the lottory so I can have some spending money. No worries, I still love her--I'll just have to think of something else.
So, now everyone knows why I am a blob. Hey, at least I am keeping my mind sharp. (If I wasn't watching movies like I was on a nightly 9pm-3am vigil, there wouldn't honestly be anything else to do, anyway.) Lyndonville's "stuff to do" resources are highly limited.
You see, the closest movie theatre is 15 mins drive away. The closest Wal*Mart is 45 mins drive away. The closest "mall" (consisting of: Job Lots, JC Penny's, Maurices, Hallmark, Optical Expressions, Olympia Sports, Payless, Fashion Bug, and Sears) is a 10 min drive away. We don't have any roller-rink places. We don't really have a club....unless you count "the Packer." (I tend to not count it, but that's just because I haven't actually been there yet....hopefully that'll change...Toria and I want to try to go next Wednesday.
Oh, Toria! I don't think I've introduced her to you all on here yet. Toria is my first black friend! Hahahaha. :) Our friendship started back in 8th grade. She moved from the capital city in VT to my little, tiny school. We became friends, and have stayed that way ever since. She's halarious. <3
Okie doke, that about sums things up I think. I'll leave a few personalized endings to all my peeps on here:
Jess- I'm glad you were ok in your car accident! How about the car, the other people, the other car? I know you were still shaken up about it so I'm just curious how everything is going now. :-S Keep me posted!
Ashley- I miss you! I love your eyeliner/talent post! Hope the Cape is treating you well!!!!
Velvet- Come back to me!!!!! Have you gotten a new phone yet??? Can I get yo numba, can I have it, can I git it? Can I git yo numba, can I have it, can I get the 7 digits plus area code that comprise your numba.... Hahahhaha. :P Don't worry, I'm still trying to find some other gift that can be as personalized as the other one was, but hopefully you won't throw it back in my face this time.
Ryan- Go to Macy's, go to the customer service counter. There will be two $500 gift cards waiting for you. BUY SOME CLOTHES. Hahahaha! I miss you, hun! Hope work @ the grill is going swimmingly for you! I'm doing some household errands today to get my room spiffied up. We'll see how well that all works out. :) Luv u!
Luke- Hey babe! Just wanted to let you know I'm still alive and that I'm pretty sure tonight is my last night of work till Monday. Speaking of which, I have really weird hours next week. Our store is open till 9pm, so generally if you're a Part Time person you work the 4-9 shift. Well, I'm working 2-7's next week.....I don't get it. Oh well. Love you, babe!
And that's a wrap!

I'm Still Alive! I Promise!
Hello, Hello everyone!
I hope you all have had the best Christmas ever. Mine was awesome. And I love my family. I don't appreciate the fingerprints...but we'll get to that in a bit.
So, where have I been? Basically for the past two days, I completely disconnected myself from the internet. (GASP!) I know, I didn't think it was possible, either!!!! Because I stole (read: borrowed) a TON of dvd's from my roommie (read: Ashley) over break, I've been spending my break on my bed completely self-absorbed in movies and seasons of various shows. And I've watched everything...except the last 5 episodes of Season 1 of Hereos. Ok, that show is SOME shit! Hahahhaa. Hayden (she plays Claire, the spontaneous regeneratory cheerleader) is awesome. Niki/Jessica is crazy, and everybody is else is like NYGAAHHAHHFHAHHAAH!!! Yeah, toes!
Besides wasting my brain cells by watching a crap-load of videos, I've been working hard on Ryan's present. The real one. The one that he's probably going to keep for years and put on display over his fireplace mantle when he gets his own house. Yeah, it's going to be that good. One little problem, I'm turning my room inside and out in search of something. This something I want to add to his present, but I can't find it!! AHHHH!!!! Granted its a few years old, and with my computer crashing a couple of times a year hasn't really helped the cause. I don't know if it's in existance anymore or not. :( I know I saw it about 6-7 months ago and I knew I was going to keep it because it was something I wanted to give back to him, but now I don't know where I've stuck it. *Sigh* FML However, if I can find that thing perhaps I can continue with what I wanted to do.
For those of you who think I am ignoring you or mad at you: I am not! (See the paragraph above this past one.) When I watch stuff, I like to be focused on it otherwise I'll miss what's happening and be really very lost. So, disconnecting myself from the internet is a great way to zero in on what I should be focusing on for a while. :)
Raise your hand: who here has heard of an ipod touch? Ok....who here has ever touched an ipod touch? If you're a part of my 308 gang, you will get that chance soon enough. My mom is fantabulous and got me an 8gig ipod touch for Christmas to replace my 3 gig nano that still cringes everytime it sees my itunes collection. Hahahahaha. My Christmas was excellent, and I hope that you're Chanukkah, Kwanza, and/or X-Mas was just as fantastic!
New Years is around the bend, and to commemorate, I'll post a few pictures of the past, those I am thankful for, and those I can't wait to spend more of my life with!!!!

I Know What You're Thinking
WHERE has she been? WTF, I want another post!
Well, ladies and gents. I have been busy. I have almost successfully navigated my way through the Fall 2009 semester. One more exam in about 45 mins and then it'll hopefully be just about done and over with...
GIFT EXCHANGE is tonight! I'm still working on the most EXCELLENT Christmas present for Ryan. It won't be done in time for tonight, but apparently we've both created gifts for one another that is going to make both of us sob uncontrollably. Can't wait! Oh! Spyro is almost done!!!! Hahahaha. We haven't totally "beat" the game yet, because we have to go back through all the other levels and collect ALL the gems in order to get into the final level. But we're definitely working on it.
Speaking of gifts, I can't wait for Velvet to open hers. It's mostly a gag gift, but it is also something she will hopefully find useful, and that will make her laugh, giggle, or at least smile once every morning. :)
Finals are overall going extremely well so far. Is it bad to phrase this line like this: "I wonder how many A's I have?" Hahaha. I feel like I did really well this semester in despite of all the crap that happened.
Ugh. But, I've almost made it.
Ryan, Joe, Ashley, Velvet, (maybe Jess?), and I are going to have our last fantastic night in 308 maple tonight. Send us your best!
xoxo
Love,
Megan
P.S. My ex-supervisor is AWESOME. This is a shoutout to Meg, who offered to let Ryan and I borrow her vehicle for transporting college kid stuff from Jeanne Mance to 308. Meg Ryan (our combined stage name) thanks you!!!!!

Ow
Today I did something pretty epic. I made a radiator resonate....for 30 seconds....with my face. Actually, my head, and it hurts. But that's ok. Awesome times.
LOST. Working my way one episode at a time through season 1...then on to season 2!!! BINGO!
SPYRO-I have almost beat the game with my partner in crime....Ryan. We're toes awesome at this game together. No lie. :)
LI-I feel so bad for Kylie (old friend/SCE survivor.) The new SCE teacher is apparently extremely inadequate and most of the members are dropping out/have dropped out since she's started. :(((((( NOT FAIR.
XMAS-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX That is all I have to say on the matter. :)
Love-! <3333333333333333

Wow
So,
I had my Winter Music Makers Concert last night. It was awesome. The wearing of Tap Shoes, busing through phlegm to spit out a duet/solo, seeing my mom & gram & Ryan's parents.....it was all so epic. :)
I haven't showered today. Not because I didn't want to...but because it's stormy outside. I keep hoping that by some miracle class will be cancelled and I won't have to go and take this quiz. Every other school in the Northeast basically has today off as a snow day. But nope, not Champlain. Because all/most of the professors live so close, they are always able to get here, and so we always have class.
NOOOOOOOOO. Why? :'(
Granted after today I only have 2 more days of class (Friday and Monday [I have no classes on Thursday]), but still. Can't I just be done with this? PLEASE??? Do I really have to do 20 pages of work before Monday....6-12 of them due by Friday, 8 of them due by Monday?
Really?
..............Well FINE...

My Own Personal Episode of Crime Stoppers
Who likes to make their own ice cream? I do! I do!
Last night and tonight as well I have been sleeping in Ryan's dorm. He got the cold that I had earlier (and am still working on getting over), so I'm sleeping over to help re-coop with him.
What is the connection between ice cream and Crime Stopping? Well, let me fill you in. Tonight was a Make-Your-Own-Ice-Cream thingy at Champlain--so I took Ryan. It was a blast! An awful movie, your fingers burning off from the cold ice and the rock salt...awesome! Truly an AWESOME adventure.
So, on our way back and in between tree-hugging every tree between my campus and Ryan's dorm, we come across this truck.
"Look, that truck has its window rolled down! What the hell?" I said to Ryan.
"Oh, look. That truck actually HAS no window! And the console is up...everything is gone..." I added.
Yes, we had come across a black mazda pickup that had the driver's side window punched in, and all their cd's and whatnot stored in the conole were gone. I feel SO bad for the owner of that truck! I hope that they didn't have anythig too valuable in there.
Anyway, Ryan called his campus security. They transfered him to BPD. (Burlington Police Dept.) After giving name, birthdate, and home address, we waited for the officer to show up. After both Ryan and I had been interviewed for this information in person by the Lady Officer, we were free to go. I hope that the owner of the truck is able to be contacted. That SUCKS.
Well, I have just finished an Antoine Lavoisier paper, and I am drained. I'm off to go relax and play some Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. :)
Enjoy your evening! If you are sick at home, you should visit Ryan's blog here:

Get some hot cocoa! Makes you feel better!
Lots of Love as Always...

Your Internship Awaits, M'Dear
GUESS WHAT?!?!?!!?!??!?!!?!?!?
Enough with the gloom and doom! I, Megan, have successfully secured myself an internship for the Spring 2010 semester!!!! YAAAAAAYYYY!!!! And it's on campus!!!! BIGGER YAYYYYY!!!!!
I am so excited to do this. :) I don't remember if I have explained it in my previous blog, and for fear of sounding repetitious I will refrain from going over it...(again?) Eh, I'll double check. If I have not described it well I will do so in the future.
I am so relieved to just relax, chill out, and go with the flow from here on out. Gleastwick night was fantastic last night--big turning-point episodes!!!
Right now I'm just foucsing on finishing up 2 group projects, both due this coming Tuesday. Yeah, not fun. So much to sift through! ARGH!!!
Regardless, thanks to all of you who wished me luck. It worked. :)
Everyone stay strong. Don't get sick (like I did.) Drink lots of tea, decaf coffee, or whatever your preference of a hot beverage. It helps with digestion and keeping sickness at bay! :) Sore throats and stuffy noses suck!
Hanging in there as always,
Megan

Gleastwick!
My new favorite term for Glee/Eastwick nights. Only two more Glee nights, and Eastwick is going to be cancelled after this season finishes. WHAT THE HELL????
...And Glee won't be back till April according to Ryan (http://www.ryhowland.blogspot.com/). :( NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MY WEDNESDAY NIGHTS?
Anywho...big news....I'm hoping by 10 am tomorrow I will have an internship confirmed. WISH ME TONS OF LUCK!! I really want this particular job. King St. has so far gotten back to me, and that is my close second choice. But I'm hoping the Social Norms Campaign works out for me. :)
Keep me in your thoughts until about 1pm tomorrow. After then, life will be good.

There is a Light at the End of the Tunnel
Sooooo much has happened since Thanksgiving break.
To sum it up in a word: STRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I'm freaking out over this non-existant internship that I must have confirmed by Friday, and I also had some more personal issues going on as well.
THANKFULLY the personal issues have now been solved and everyone I think is good standing once again. The internship issue however is...well...a work in progress.
I've applied to King St. Youth Center. I would love to get in there. Also, I have applied to the HowardCenter. Hopefully someone gets back to me today! Then: all a sudden...IT HAPPENED! I remembered an e-mail one of my professors had sent me over break. There's a Social Norms campaign starting up that is going to be in full swing by next fall. And there's a possibility to turn it into an internship!!!!! AHHH!!! That means I wouldn't have to leave campus!!! And slip and fall and break something! (Which I'm probably more prone to doing than most people realize.) Hahaha.
Keep you fingers crossed for me. Life is starting to get good again.
:)
Much Love
Megan

Sore Throat and Filling-less
So I am currently home on my Thanksgiving Break. My brain is thanking me up and down--it isn't screaming at me in agony anymore. Whoo hoo!!! Friday night when I got back home, I went to go see New Moon. LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 Hours of pure Awesomeness.
Yesterday I went to go get my hair cut. LOVE ITTT!!! It's so much lighter and I can't wait to wash it myself to see what I can do with it on my own. Yesterday I also went to the dentist thinking that I was supposed to be getting a filling. Nope, not even. Just a "First Time Patient Exam." Sounds miraculous, right? Yeah, NOT. While doing the exam, they found about 3 MORE CAVATIES that need to be filled=4 in total. WTF?! My previous dentist hadn't seen these, why are these people finding them all over the place. And it's not like I don't brush my teeth....so what's up with this?
Anywho, $131 later for the exam and 2 mini- X-Rays they took ($30 a pop,) I went to work at Kinneys from 4-9. I couldn't even do that right. Ever since I've been home, I've had this sort of nasal drip into the back of my throat. My nose isn't running or even that stuffed up, but my throat has been dry and scratchy since I got here. Well I thought nothing of it until I was at work and it was getting to the point to which I couldn't swallow, talk, or smile. Yeah, FML.
So now that I have just woken up from my 12 hour slumber, I feel extensively better, although my throat is still a bit sore.
Now that I'm home--all I want to do with my free time is sleep, relax, and do the things I want to do. However, I am supposed to have an internship confirmed by next Friday. I am terrified. Meg and I worked on my Resume and a Cover letter for about 2.5 hours last Friday night which helped immensely, but I feel like I'm drowning in panic. I don't know what to do! I'm in Lyndonville, so it isn't like I can just skip right on over for an interview today. :( And now that my throat is sore, I don't think I could even do a phone interview. Again, FML.
I also have homework that I have been working on interspersedly. (The motivation comes and goes.) All I really want to be doing is curling up in my bed with my Twilight series and re-reading all the Epic Adventures of Edward and Bella and Jason for the rest of my vacation.
ARGGGHHHHHHHH. It's ok though. Hopefully this time next year I will be on the beach, drinking Fuze and getting sun with Ryan. :) TOES going to be awesome. :)
Wednesday night (now--only if I'm feeling better,) I was/(am?) planning to go down to B-town to pick Velvet up and have her spend the night at my house. Why? Because Thursday is Thanksgiving, silly! She had to stay up here this week to work while everyone else got to go home on break. And I felt awful that she wasn't going to be able to have a Turkey din din, SO I'm taking a little road trip after I get out of work at 9pm Wednesday evening and picking up my girl! I have an entourage of people coming with me to do so, so this should be interesting. :)
I will end by saying how much I miss my roommates, Ryan & Velvet, and being at college in general. Being home is nice to recoup, but I still miss being able to walk down to Champ Farms at 2am just to buy gummy bears. :)
Much Love.

I'm in Lyndonville, so it isn't like I can just skip right on over for an interview today. :( And now that my throat is sore, I don't think I could even do a phone interview. Again, FML.
I also have homework that I have been working on interspersedly. (The motivation comes and goes.) All I really want to be doing is curling up in my bed with my Twilight series and re-reading all the Epic Adventures of Edward and Bella and Jason for the rest of my vacation.
ARGGGHHHHHHHH. It's ok though. Hopefully this time next year I will be on the beach, drinking Fuze and getting sun with Ryan. :) TOES going to be awesome. :)
Wednesday night (now--only if I'm feeling better,) I was/(am?) planning to go down to B-town to pick Velvet up and have her spend the night at my house. Why? Because Thursday is Thanksgiving, silly! She had to stay up here this week to work while everyone else got to go home on break. And I felt awful that she wasn't going to be able to have a Turkey din din, SO I'm taking a little road trip after I get out of work at 9pm Wednesday evening and picking up my girl! I have an entourage of people coming with me to do so, so this should be interesting. :)
I will end by saying how much I miss my roommates, Ryan & Velvet, and being at college in general. Being home is nice to recoup, but I still miss being able to walk down to Champ Farms at 2am just to buy gummy bears. :)
Much Love.

Dobra Tea, 40 Pages, and Rasputins
I have discovered something about myself. Apparently, I do what I gotta do. Like it or not. I wrote an 8 page paper, a 17 page project, a 3 page paper amongst other various assignments all within this past week. (The 17 pager was completed in 24 hours or less!)
To celebrate my success, Ryan took me to Dobra Tea on one of our many sibling dates. Sooo0o0o0ooooooOOOOOOO good. UGH! (In a good way.) The atmosphere is AMAZING, and I am really excited to take Luke there some evening if he's able to come back up again. :)
After this, I went back to my hidey-hole to finish the rest of my assignments. When I was truly finished everything, everyone decided to go out to Rasputin's. (Rasputin's is one of the few clubs we have in Burlington--so much fun!) Because I didn't have any cash, (I'm in college, what do you want?!), Velvet paid my way in. Unfortunately, Ryan couldn't come with us because A) He's not 18 yet....but soon!, and B) He had another performance for his play.
After dancing until 2am, and getting to bed at 3am, I had to get up at 7am for my 8am class. I was up and running from 7-5 that day. THEN I was able to pack and go home. YAYY!!!
Dunkin' Donuts did not schedule me to work at all this week which I am kind of upset with, however, Kinneys has me working about 15 hrs. I am going to let my boss know that because I did not get scheduled with DD's, she can feel free to call me if someone doesn't show up for their shift. I NEED THE $$$$$$$$!!
Speaking of $$$$$$$$!!!!! Camp Champ finally has the textbook listings on their website. I bought two of mine today. The rest aren't going to cost that much. I am sooo excited. Because I'm taking 4 actual classes, and my 5th class/3rd job is a required intenrship of 12 hrs/wk, and because I'm taking part II of a course, the textbooks for those two classes are minimal--or ones I already have. YAY!
My brain feels better now that it has been rested for a night. I can only hope that it will continue to get better while I am home over Thanksgiving Break.
I am going to get back to finishing up my Scary Movie-fest. (I'm on the 3rd one right now, and then I am going to bed.)
Love you all--stay out of trouble. In the timeless words of Velvet, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" (FYI--That doesn't narrow it down-----at all...)
X.o.X.o.
Love,
Megan

2010 Turkey Break
So, in a previous post, I think I had slightly touched on 2010 Thanksgiving Break, and my plans for this particular holiday.
FLOOOOORRRRIIIDDDDAAAAAA, here we come!!!!
SOOO excited. Don't know where the $500 is coming from, BUT we shall see. Perhaps I should ask simply for money for my birthday this year...and save everything for that. Hahaha. Yes, good plan actually.
So, how did this all start?
Well, earlier this year I had determined that my junior year of college was going to be a laid-back, take-your-time kind of year. I wanted to take an acutal, stereotypical college Spring Break with Ryan, but seeing as how UVM, St. Michael's, and Champlain all stagger their spring breaks, that wouldn't have worked out so well.
Solution? Thanksgiving Break!!!! They CAN'T stagger that break because it all falls on the same week. HA! Beat that logic, Plato!
SO, my Spring Break is going to be my Thanksgiving break for the 2010 year, and I'm spending it ON THE BEACH.
Basically (we still have to ask Ryan's grandparents if they'll be ok with it, but more likely than not it'll be a yes.)
Again, re-cap of the hilights of this trip: we get to travel and make the plans by ourselves, BEACH, we get to travel and make the plans by ourselves, TURKEY ON THE BEACH, and awesome tan after Turkey Break is over. Yeah, pretty much.
I'm really pumped. Cannn't wait!!!! I just had to devote a full blog post to this particular subject matter because I am JUST. THAT. EXCITED.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Ahem, ((regain my composure.)) Yes, the awesomeness is abundant.
I shall keep you posted!
Love Always,
Megan

Happiness Is....
Seeing your boyfriend for the first time in about two months. :)
I love that I can take a step back from the constant, neverending grindstone of college, and BREATHE. Granted, I still have two 6-8 page papers coming due in about 5 days....(Wednesday night is going to be AMAZING!)
That being said, as of Wednesday night, I feel that the projects/papers/CRAP that comes along with taking 5 courses will have come to a slow. Glee and Eastwick can be enjoyed to the fullest extent, and we can all finally take a breather. WHOOOOT!!!
Ryan in the mean time is breaking 80 toes with each performence. (The equivalent of breaking a leg...but we've combined Ashley's favorite number with 'toes', and breaking 80 toes=break a leg.)
Awesome. Envy us.
Life is good and I am going to sleep...forever. Hahahaha.
Love as Always,
Megan
(or Magan as Ashley would say.)

2 Hours/9 Mins
Ok, so I hav 9 minutes before my group meeting to tell you all what the 2 hours is all about.
Thats how much sleep I got last night. Ryan and I stayed up till 5 AM talking about the world in general, our plans for next year's Thanksgiving (FLA anyone???), and fresh and old friendships.
We miss certain people in particular, but that is now the past. We've decided that we're just going to be the most awesome friend/family system that anybody has ever seen. Velvet is going to be our next door neighbor, Jess and Ashley will also live in the neighborhood. And Luke and I can have our own bedroom in a house shared with Ryan and his adopted children. YES! Hahaha. (Yeah, I imagine most of the people mentioned would have some objections to this.) Hey, I can dream, right?
Next Thanksgiving is going to be SO awesome. Hilights include: travelling by ourselves, place to stay for free, tanning on the beach, travelling by ourselves, $500 gone forever, and travelling by ourselves!!!
Yeah, I'm kind of pumped. Too bad I only have 12-13 more hours before I can sleep again.
Hmph, well I have to get downstairs. Group members are going to start showing up. :)
Love you all,
Megan

In Honor or Janet Bird
A spunky lady I once knew ruled her roost in Danville. NOBODY could tell her otherwise, regardless of what it was. If you would say left, she, of course, would go right. This woman had a mind of her own, and enriched the lives of many around her.
Many of you probably remember me as a shy little girl who wouldn't speak unless spoken to. (And even then it was "iffy!") I loved watching people that were so sure of themselves, so absolutely positive that they knew exactly where they were in this world, and where they planned to go. Janet was one of these people.
Janet had a way of using this particular hard-headedness of hers to coerce you into a meal. 98% of the time if you were to visit her house, there would be some sort of food that she would offer up. Whether it was leftovers from a meal just cooked that day, or something fresh-baked out of the oven, Janet was ALL about her food. Nobody ever left hungry, that's for sure!
Recently, I have discovered a TV show that I am in love with. Perhaps many of you have heard of it. Glee. A show with songs that describe every emotion you encounter within your life. The chorus of a particular song, "Keep Holding On" is one that is applicable here.
"Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through."
Janet was an amazing woman. I am proud to be related to her. I find I get many things from my grandfather, but with regards to being a woman, she one type I want to be. Someone who has her head on straight, knows what she wants from life, and goes out there to make sure she gets it. My mom is, of course, my first and foremost role model, but Janet is a very close second!
Remember Janet with peace and love. Keep her close to your heart always, and remind those still left in this world how much they mean to you, as often as you can. Life is short, and sometimes people we love are taken from us far too quickly. Cherish them. Love them.
Always and Forever,
Megan

Death
Wow. That's all I really have to say. Within the span of 3 days, 1/3 of my famliy members have died. (Granted that's only 2...but I don't have very many family members that I am/have been close to in my life.) I consider the family members I do have left to be very precious, and should be "handled with care."
I recently re-connected with Uncle Mike. He's been basicly everywhere in the world. Guess thats a benefit of being with the military. I would LOVE to get the chance to travel the world, but considering all the factors and limitations in my environment and surrounding community, I doubt very much if that will ever happen. Especially with the line of work I am going into. Social Workers are lucky if they make 30k/yr. Yeah, not going to be fun. Why couldn't I have been better acquainted with numbers? Then I could be an Accounting major and get a STARTING rate of like 60-80k/yr.
Ughh. FML--over and over again.
Right now, I'm just looking forward to spending the weekend with my boyfriend. I just need to clear my head, screw it back on straight, and buckle back down. I feel like a cat that is trying desperately to cling to a curtain with her claws, while the owner is trying to free her nails of the curtain. I don't WANT to be moved from the curtain. I LIKE THE CURTAIN!!!!!!! STOP IT!!
I was talking with my mother on Yahoo Messenger and I asked her to please not die, at least for a little while. Because this spurt is really rather depressing, and I have too much to deal with already just trying to make it through school. I don't need to be worrying about whether or not my family is making it through day-to-day life at home as well. Grr.
I believe things happen for a reason though. Perhaps I'll be able to get closer to "that" side of the family again. (If they all don't decide to hold grudges...) We shall see.
Right now I should be writing/finding examples for a paper I have to write that's due Monday...buuuuuuut I feel blogging is more important for right now. My head hurts, I just want to go back to sleep (actually, to the gym would be nice too.)
But nope, can't do that. I have class at 11-12:15, working 1:30-4:30, PA Meeting from 4:45-6:15, get my Music Makers folder back from Ryan, Music Makers from 7-9, and then--THEN maybe I can take care of myself.
Is it Friday yet? This is my last stressful night for a while I hope. Tomorrow night is Glee/Eastwick (and they're soon to cancel Eastwick.....FML--again and again), Thursday night is Kickboxing (which I will desperately need), and Friday night is Kickboxing/catch the bus to Luke's. I need a weekend of pampering. Perhaps a day at the spa? Psh, yeah right. Not with my budget. Not hardly. But thats where boyfriends come in??? ;) Haha.
Well, the best I can do is hang in there. I hope both my gramps are doing ok. One lost a sister and the other lost his spouse. Not a good time on any side of the fam. Hang in there everyone, things'll get easier soon, I hope!
Ok, I should probably get ready for class now.
Love you all, and stick with it. The semester is almost over!!!

...And I'm Back!!!
Anywho, so I'm not sure if I've talked about this yet on my blog or not, but Ryan and I should basicly be related. He's my twin. We say the same thing, think the same thing, and tend to do the same thing at the exact same time or within minutes of each other. For instance, my sneakers have been acting up with me since Halloween-ish. The soles keep slipping up and around the back of my ankle while I'm trying to walk. NOT fun. So I had to go get new sneakers, which I accomplished yesterday.
Yesterday, Ryan's dad came up to have him go get the H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccination. (Ick.) And Ryan's sneakers are actually ripping apart. Can you guess the rest of the story??? Yeah, he now has a brand new pair of converse sneakers that look AWESOME on him. Seriously, he's hot. Hahaha. My baby brother is growing up!!! Awww.
Anywho, I am furious now that I have found out EASTWICK is being cancelled because ABC doesn't think the ratings have been good enough. WTF. I LIKE THAT SHOW. STOP THAT! ABC, you CAN'T just take something off the air when it has as complicated and interesting a plotline as Eastwick. WTF?!!!?!?!
On a lighter note, Glee will be back on this Wednesday, so that's good.
My butt, thighs, abs and shoulders hurt. Kickboxing 2 nights in a row (Thursday and Friday) is INTENSE. I asked Luke if he maybe had punching pads at his house, because the origional plan was for me to go see him this weekend. (More about the origional plan later.) But he didn't...soooo I can't work on anything this weekend. I really just want a partner to come with me to the gym to hold punching pads so i can keep working on that (my favorite part.) Velvet would be the ideal person since she's about my height and stature, but she has to work. I TOES understand that. So, yeah. I'm kind of tempted to just ask a random guy in the gym to work with me. I find I like punching things, it's an excellent stress reliever. I'm not generally a violent person, but that kind of exercise makes me feel good. Sometimes I like being my weight and height, it allows me to withstand more things than if I were 145. :D
Back to the "origional plan" of this weekend. I was supposed to go see Luke this weekend because we haven't been able to get together in a while. However, my Great Aunt Janet passed away Friday night at midnight, and I really want to be at her funeral. She was one of the few family members I got along with and liked outside of my immediate family, so I want to be there to say my goodbyes. I'm worried about my grandfather. I inherited a lot of things from him. The tendency to bottle things up until the bottle explodes and shatters EVERYWHERE is one of them. I really want to be home with him so I can talk with him and have him get some of his feelings out, but since I have class and work that won't work out too well. :( I have Janet as a friend on Facebook, and the last comment that had been posted on her wall was a "Happy Birthday" comment, because her b-day had come on Oct. 22nd of this year. I added a fresh comment of (mind you this is paraphrasing), "RIP Aunt Janet, you will be dearly missed. I'll help take care of your baby brother, no worries." It's hard to imagine that she's really gone. If you wanted to have some excellent food, you just went to Janet. She had the BEST baking skills I've ever seen, and that woman knew how to whip up a meal for people. I hope that she's happy, wherever she has moved on to.
And on my grandmother's side, her brother is in the hospital. He's having a hard time breathing on his own and getting oxygen into his system, and he's a very sick man all around. Darthmouth is doing what they can to care for him, but nobody knows how well this is all going to work out. He doesn't have Swine Flu, but because he has black mold all over the trailer he lives in (that he's been breathing in for years), nobody is too sure how this is going to come out in the end.
Life is full of unexpected surprises. The best you can do is to just try to roll with the punches. People you love could be gone in an instant. Make sure the last time you talk to someone isn't a talk full of anger and hate. Nobody wants to part with dischord, especially with someone you love. Look out for one another, take care of one another, and make sure you have some sort of support system to help get you through things like this. No one should have to go through a death alone. Be a team, do it together.
With that, I will go. I'm a little hungry and I want to do an hour at the gym before I eat real food. Hahaha.

Love,
Megan

This Weekend...was Awesome.
Where do I start in telling you about this weekend???? My goodness! Well, first off, I took Ashley home with me for Friday night. We ended up driving around St. J, Lyndonville, stopping @ P-chops for food & a Redbox movie, going to Cumby's for more food, and staying up till 3-3:30 am reading all the magazines that had come in the mail for me as well as trying to watch The Shortcut.
We had planned to go to the big St. J/LI Football Game (the 105th one mind you), and actually that didn't happen. But LI won 14-0!!!!! Kind of a little bit of domination there. :)
Then, after scrambling back to Burlington, we got ready for HALLOWEEN. What a blast! After Ryan and I put on all our makeup, we made a pretty kick-ass Sweeney Todd and Ms. Lovett.

Why is Ryan's hair SO not awesome? :) Love it! We had fun trying to get Joe's hair to do the same thing essentially. Good times. :)
So, after our failed attempt at Trick-or-Treating (no one wants to give candy to college students....what's with that?) we dropped everything back off at the dorm. We are people just like anyone else, are we not? We deserve a night to get candy that we don't have to pay for seeing as how we're more broke than you most of the time. Psh. Whatev.
Anywho, after that, we decided to go walk around Church St. & City Park to take pictures.
And then other than the drunk people asking "Where the F#@! is my F*$R&#g Pirate Cup?" and Ashley totally dominating one conversation with random people, it was pretty uneventful.
We ended up walking to Winooski, and decided to walk down under the bridge.
Yes, it was a good time. After all this, we walked back to Ryan & Joe's dorm (after me sprinting for about 3 minutes straight because Joe somehow walked really fast and got really far ahead of us without realizing it,) we took a pee-break, and came back to my dorm for the night.
We ordered Wings, I stared and couldn't breathe after eating, then we went to bed.
I LOVE my friends so much! In conclusion, this weekend was AWESOME. One of the best I've had I think! It was my first spent with Ryan, my first spent "out on the town" with friends, not being followed around my family. Pretty exciting stuff!
Lots of Love,
Megan

Sad Day at Camp Champ
I just checked my mymail account for my school's portal. Apparently, some kid in my grade died last night after going off campus to visit friends.
Last night, Champ. had a Halloween Dance. Ryan came. I walked Ryan "home", except then he walked me back to Main St. because we both realized that it is kind of sketchy in Burlington at 12:30 am. After finally going our seperate ways, I decided to run, all the way back to my dorm. I have not had the motivation or urge to run in about three years. Coincidence that someone happened to die the same night, probably after attending the same dance I did? I seriously doubt it. I am a FIRM believer in my instincts, and it has saved my A$$ on more than one occasion. I am also a firm believer in watching out for myself, and realizing when I don't feel safe, and BOOKIN' it out of there as soon as that happens. Everyone-PLEASE be careful around Halloween time. I know it's a LOT of fun, and it can be if you do the holiday right. However, I know there are a lot of stupid, spur-of-the-moment decisions that people sometimes make, and those mistakes lead to big trouble. I don't know about you, but I like my friends. I would do anything to protect them. So please, just keep everyone safe, and save the stupid stuff for a night that everyone isn't walking around drunk looking for other people to mess with.
On a lighter note, Ashley is coming home with me tonight! I am leaving my laptop here so unfortunately I will not be in contact with you all for a while, but not like you'll be avidly awaiting my next entry on the evening of Halloween. Psh, who does THAT?! If you have a life, I would suggest that you get out there and use it. :)
I'm also taking a "SHIT TON" (thanks again to Velvet for this awesome term) of laundry home with me this weekend. My duffle bag is going to consist of a TON of clothing, and my hair brush, tooth brush/toothpaste/floss/fluoride, deoderant, and perfume. Except maybe not even perfume, I have some of the cheap stuff at home that I need to use up. :) So yeah, good times.
Well, other than the good time I had at the dance last night with Jess, Velvet, Ashley, Joe, and Ryan, not too much is happening for me. Just kind of hanging in there for the moment.
As I have nothing of further interest to speak of at this moment, I will sign off.
Love you all,
Megan
P.S. Do you ever feel kind of like Pocahontas when the leaves blow and billow up and around you? Because I know I do. :)
Last night, Champ. had a Halloween Dance. Ryan came. I walked Ryan "home", except then he walked me back to Main St. because we both realized that it is kind of sketchy in Burlington at 12:30 am. After finally going our seperate ways, I decided to run, all the way back to my dorm. I have not had the motivation or urge to run in about three years. Coincidence that someone happened to die the same night, probably after attending the same dance I did? I seriously doubt it. I am a FIRM believer in my instincts, and it has saved my A$$ on more than one occasion. I am also a firm believer in watching out for myself, and realizing when I don't feel safe, and BOOKIN' it out of there as soon as that happens. Everyone-PLEASE be careful around Halloween time. I know it's a LOT of fun, and it can be if you do the holiday right. However, I know there are a lot of stupid, spur-of-the-moment decisions that people sometimes make, and those mistakes lead to big trouble. I don't know about you, but I like my friends. I would do anything to protect them. So please, just keep everyone safe, and save the stupid stuff for a night that everyone isn't walking around drunk looking for other people to mess with.
On a lighter note, Ashley is coming home with me tonight! I am leaving my laptop here so unfortunately I will not be in contact with you all for a while, but not like you'll be avidly awaiting my next entry on the evening of Halloween. Psh, who does THAT?! If you have a life, I would suggest that you get out there and use it. :)

A Bloggable Moment
Hello, dear readers.
I just went through a Haunted House at Bankus Hall. I think I peed my pants a little. Uhm, so people walking around with the syringes, people screaming at you on the stairs, and our effing tour guide who "couldn't find the light." Yeah, awesome.
Pretty much almost jumped on Ryan and dove under Jess' jacket. Hahahahaha.
Haunted things and I do not get along.
Like our dorm. Which is apparently haunted. Everyone's computer has experienced technical difficulties since we've moved in.
Ahhhhhh. Zombies and poltergeists and ghosts n' shit!
Speaking of which, have I ever explained the whole "n'shit" business?
So, when Ryan first attended UVM Orientation, his Orientation Leader (OL) and him went to a party they were having for the first years. Single Ladies came on, and she said, "Lookitchu DANCIN' n' shit!"
Henceforth, the "n'shit" has stuck, and is really catchy. Hahaha. It is a bad habit to get into, buuuuut whatcha gunna do...n'shit?
Enough with the swearing: anaaand onto: sleeping habits!
The past few nights I have not been able to sleep well at all. Tossing and turning has become a regularity, and I can't tell if I'm sick or not because all the thermometers in Feeley are on the fritz. Stupid poltergeist...
Well, I feel this is sufficient for my endeavors to date.
I'm going to get comfy, and try to maybe get some sleep!!!
Love you all!

Update on My Life
So, the past 12 hours have been pretty much insane.
I somehow had a temperature of 95 degrees this morning, and yet I felt much better when I got up compared to how I felt last night with a 96.something degree temp. WHAT is this?
Also, I have put in my application to be approved for a Discover Student Credit Card. Whooo hoooo!!!! I can finally start building up some credit by charging all of (and only) my school textbooks on the card, and building up some good, responsible credit so that I can maybe get a car or house later in my life. YAY ME!!!!
Kind of excited. (This was after debating with my mom on the phone last night for about an hour...with her telling me I'm almost 20 years old and she isn't going to tell me what to do.) Yes, of course you're not going to tell me what to do. I just wanted ADVICE!!! Is this a smart thing for me to do at this stage of my life, etc? If you read my previous post, you see the distess I had pertaining to this whole situation, and whether or not I thought I was capable of managing a credit card.
But again, thanks to SUPERVELVET (her name from henceforth,) I have confidence in my skills. (That girl is still my hero, just fyi.) :)
Besides fleeting illnesses and applications for evil credit cards, I have finished my scientific revolutions paper as well. (Speaking of which, I have to get going in about 10 mins because class will be starting here, shortly.)
It is finito, I feel better than I did last night, and I hopefully have the gateway to me building credit coming sometime soon.
That's all, folks!

Megan-Building-Credit-So-She-Can-Have-A-Life-After-College
2 Posts in 1 Day!!!! Oh boy!
Well, here we are. Velvet again has inspired me. (I love that girl.) :) My mom and I have tossed around the idea with me getting a credit card to help pay for school (specifically, textbooks.)
Now, let me give you a brief recap of what happened my first semester last year of college.
Megan: received an extra $1,000 from her Dad's SS check somehow? Megan: Blew it ALL.
Yeah, so who's Captain of the Fail Boat now? That, ladies and gentlemen, would be me, yours truly.
WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME???
WHO BLOWS $1,000 ON CRAP? Apparently, I do.
So, now, show of hands. Who thinks I should get a credit card?! ......Thats what I thought to.
Update: This year, I've finally got my sh!t together and have finally reached some sort of fiscal maturity. No more blowing $30 on seasons of Charmed (which I'm still trying to get all of by the way!) No more late night Dominos because I'm hungry. NOTHING. (Well, okay, I've spent money on a few deliveries this year, but I actually was starving, and I actually did have EXTRA cash for the hours I put in.)
I e-mailed my mom about 15 mins ago re-proposing the idea of Megan+credit card=Megan Can Maybe Get Her Own House/Car After college. NOTE: My mother had suggested that I get a credit card specifically FOR textbooks and college-related items, but my grandparents shut us down because they didn't think I was quite ready yet. I tended to agree with them after looking at what I did to myself. $1,000 could have paid for my textbooks for the rest of my 2.5 yrs here at Camp Champ. Again, WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME??????
Anywho, where was I? Ah, yes. Back to Velvet. Ok, so I had explained all of this situation to Velvet this year, and after looking at me like I am a dumbass (which I don't blame her for,) for blowing $1,000 on crap, she suggested also that I get myself a credit card to start building up some credit. She told me that she has a Discover Student card, which is based around the idea of building up good, responsible credit for college-age students. Kind of an innovative idea, right?
Of course, I don't remember all the particulars about the good stuff that comes with getting the Discover Student Credit Card, but I'm sure I'll have more time for speculation and discussion and debate with Velvet as we find time to chat.
I am seriously considering getting myself one of these cards. (The fact that you can also "personalize" your card by picking out your own design is kind of AWESOME too.) If you have thoughts and/or comments and/or questions, please leave them below.
Lots of Love!

WHY is Registration so EASY? Except, not?
Ok. So today is registration day for Ashley and I. We have our courses planned out for next semester, and now we have to go online and click 'register' when our Registration Window opens. Easy, right? Yeah, NOT. Whats with all these technical difficulties???????? I NEED TO REGISTER FOR CLASSES!!!!!
Because I switched my major after my first semester of college, I'm playing catch-up in the SWK program. Essentially, this semester I'm backtracking and taking all the classes I should have taken my first semester of college. So when I'm registering for classes that I'm supposed to be in right now, it's telling me that I'm not meeting the prerequisites (because I'm actually IN the Pre Reqs right now.) WTF?! C'mon people....step it up!
Julie R. (in the ARC) is doing an AMAZING job at handling everyone's techie difficulties. Girl, you amazing! Someone should give her a gold star!! Mmm!
So, after fighting with my registration window and getting my Pre Reqs. waived so that I can register for 3 of my 6 (yes, 6) classes, I think I'm all set.
Still a little nervous about how I'm going to manage three jobs and 6 courses......buuut we'll see. Wish me luck, I will DEFINITELY need it!
x.o.x.o.

Megan
PS-There are these little things called "Reactions" at the bottom of this post. Check one (or two...or three!) of them! :)

Gramp Was Right
So, this past summer I worked two jobs in order to pay for my college experience. Kinney Drugs and Dunkin' Donuts. Whooot!!! While I was working both of these jobs, my grandfather kept joking with me that I should get a third one, It'd be "good for me." (He was being sarcastic...but he did have a bit of a point!)
Anywho, I still have essentially two jobs here at college this semester. Buttt....guess what's happening next semester? You in the back, you get a prize! That's right! Next semester I have the distinct "pleasure" of working three jobs. The two I currently have, as well as an INTERNSHIP for my Social Work program here at Camp Champ. Oh boy! Why am I not going to be crying about 3 weeks in? Hahaha.
Onto more fun things: I went to see Paranormal Activity last night with Ryan, Jess, and Ashley. I sat between Jess and Ashley, and Ashley and I ended up huddled into each other, and Jess was basicly laughing, and Ryan was physically shaking by the end of the movie. Yep, GREAT movie! Actually it was pretty good....so well done, in fact, that I actually got so terrified that I ended up crying. WTF?!
So, after we get back to the dorm, we end up watching The Haunting in Connecticut. THAT was a weird movie. I didn't really understand much of that till the end. Zombies in the house....awesome. Strange, but I'll take it as it is I suppose.
Tonight I am supposed to be writing my 6-8 page paper. I got to the top of page three and I needed a break, hence BLOG time!!!! :)
Just thought I'd check in and let everyone know I was still alive.
Oh! Big news! GLEE IS NOT AIRING THIS WEEK!?!!!???!?!?!!?!?!? WHAT IS THIS?????????????????? Kind of not impressed, but that means that I can take a break I suppose. I have a paper due Tuesday, a paper due Wednesday, and then hopefully Luke will be coming up this Thursday night, Halloween dance here at Camp Champ, then go home Friday with Ashley and Ryan to go to the St. J/LI game. WHOOT! Ashley gets to experience some of the awesomeness of VT, and schools stooped in deep traditions. Here we go!
Ok, well I've procrastinated enough. I'm going back to try to get past page three, then page four, then five, then hopefully I can stop at page 6 or 7???
Wish me luck with my epic paper writing! I wish you all luck with your respective lives, keep on keepin' on!

Whatchu Doin' On Blogger n' shit?!
Hey, all!
Just preparing to go see Paranormal Activity tonight with Jess, Ashley, and Ryan. I wanted Velvet to come with us, but the only showing they're having tonight is at 9:40, and she only gets out of work at 9:30. Sooo...kind of a fail... :(
Oh well. We're going to get fucking scared out of our minds and then Velvet will be laughing at us all being so paranoid...cuz you should all know this about me: Scary Movies=PARANOID MEGAN for like....3 MONTHS!!!! Hahaha It's a great time.
I'm really nervous to see this movie....it's going to be SOME shit (as we would say.) :)
Hope the popcorn isn't about $12 for a small. That would not make me happy. GRRR.
GOOD NEWS THOUGH!!! I do have the $80 for my Planned Parenthood appointment so my family doesn't have to come up with the money to help me out. WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I'm trying SO hard to become as financially independent from them as possible, but it's really hard. Making the amount of money I do, its VERY difficult. But I think I've been doing a DAMN good job for what I've accomplished so far. Yeah I slip up every now and then, but who doesn't? I've finally reached a point in my life where I think I've become very financially mature, and with much thanks to Velvet, she helps keep me in perspective. THAT girl has gone through SO much shit to stay in college, she is one of my true heroes. :) BE COOL! STAY IN SCHOOL!!!!
MUCH LOVE!

Another Dreary Day...
Hello, everyone. How's life? Life in 308 has been pretty stressful lately. Not too much time for fun. :( Between midterms, Jess' flu, and me needing to get going on busting out a 6-8 pager, and a 4-6 pager for 2 different classes, its a pretty stressful time.
Last night was Glee night. Glee was awesome as ALWAYS!!!! In Music Makers on Tuesday night, Dave (one of the co-conductors), played the Glee version of Don't Stop Believing. It. Was. Awesome. EVERYONE started busting out that song the instant it came on. Hahahhaha!!!
My girls and I (Ryan included) have decided to start doing mini-webisodes. I will eventually give the link to the blog that we are considering starting that will be JUST for our webisodes. They will also be posted on FaceBook and possibly on YouTube (just to make sure we can get some good feedback from friends and family.) :)
I'm still working on trying to convince my mom to get FaceBook, by the way. I would LOVE to be able to write to her and keep in contact with her that way, because FaceBook is my MAIN social networking site. Buuuuut she's kind of old-school and doesn't think people her age should be on FaceBook. Wonder what she'd say if I told her that Ashley's mom is on there? Hehe.
Well, thats ok, too. I'll do what I can.
Luke is trying to meet up with me today in the Big Burly World, however because of my schedule and all my requirements of my time, I'm not sure I'll be able to see him. :( FML. Hey, and I just looked out the window and there is a lady bug crawling up our screen! CUTE!!! Sorry, back to Luke. Yes, I miss him terribly. Unfortunately, for my own well-being, I am not able to spend all of my time on my computer anymore. The "free time" that I have is generally spent directly on homework, and the rest of my free time is spent with my friends that live here. Right now they are the main ones who are keeping me sane. I'm very much a physical person. I naturally get really close to the people I live with and see everyday. They are my rocks that keep me from floating away. I loooooove Luke to death, but by the time I'm able to get online its about 8:30 at night and by then I'm so exhausted I can't focus much on what anybody is saying to me. I feel like such a failure, but how things are working now is just about the best I can do. Next semester, I'll be taking 6 classes instead of my 5, and I'll be working 3 jobs. Soooo....my prospects for trying to fix my awesome mistake aren't looking so great right now. Luke, if you're reading this...just move to Burlington! This will solve everyone's problem!
If anyone has any advice, please post below. Thanks!
Love you all,

House
WHY DOES FOX SUCK SO MUCH!!!! House was delayed due to Angels/Pats claiming superiority over the lives of everyone, and I am not too impressed.
At the moment (in case you cared) I am sitting on the couch, eating Jess' popcorn, and drinking B-town tap water. Yes, I am that classy. After listening to Ashley yell at the TV for the game to finish before she did something she was going to regret, we can finally sit back and enjoy the episode of House.
I miss Luke because I have not seen him in forever, and I miss not having my daily dose of Ryan. (OK, we don't actually meet THAT often, but close enough. "Where, oh, where of the boys all gone? Oh where, oh where can they beeeeeee????"
Oh, and I have come to a distinct conclusion. Apples to Apples is an EPIC game. When its still going strong at 4am you know THAT's some epicness that cannot be questioned. Ever. :)
I have also discovered that basicly I have no free time until after 2pm on Saturday. Sooo much for working on homework. Also, my PA job is conflicting with my scheduling of my work study hours (but then again, what else is new?)
I hope you all are having a fantastic midterm session.
I'm going to get back to watching House wallow in his excellence, and try to track down my boys. :)

After listening to Ashley yell at the TV for the game to finish before she did something she was going to regret, we can finally sit back and enjoy the episode of House.
I miss Luke because I have not seen him in forever, and I miss not having my daily dose of Ryan. (OK, we don't actually meet THAT often, but close enough. "Where, oh, where of the boys all gone? Oh where, oh where can they beeeeeee????"
Oh, and I have come to a distinct conclusion. Apples to Apples is an EPIC game. When its still going strong at 4am you know THAT's some epicness that cannot be questioned. Ever. :)
I have also discovered that basicly I have no free time until after 2pm on Saturday. Sooo much for working on homework. Also, my PA job is conflicting with my scheduling of my work study hours (but then again, what else is new?)
I hope you all are having a fantastic midterm session.
I'm going to get back to watching House wallow in his excellence, and try to track down my boys. :)
xoxoxo
Love,
Megan

Anton van Leeuwenhoek
...is dead. He died a long time ago, in fact. And my partner Amber and I have to try to come up with a solid reason of why he was important, and why anyone should give a damn.
Actually, he was kind of a cool guy. He was the first to look through a microscope and discover bacteria and germs and all that fun stuff. (He also discovered sperm...but thats another story.) This could potentially be a really epic presentation. We're going to try to make a powerpoint with pictures and a "shit-ton" (thank you, Velvet for your NY vocabulary!!) of music. Hopefully it won't come out looking like crap. Oh yeah, and did I forget to mention there's a 5 pg paper that accompanies all of this? Yeah, NOT FUN.
Anywho, I am sitting in the library waiting the last 15 mins for my partner to show up so we can get to work. It's going to be a fantastic time. I just hope we can get it done and have it look really excellent by the end of today. We shall see, as always. :)
Anywho, I'm going to go to try to get some FaceBook time in inbetween doing this project and spending the rest of my life doing homework.
Lots of Love!!!

Black Hole
Soooo...according to current.com there's a black hole on Earth. We're all going to die...a.g.a.i.n. Shit.
OH! Onto more positive things.....FILMING!!!! I helped out one of Jess' friends finish her film project that is due sometime soon. The cast: Jess & Ryan. The techies: Megan, Ashley, Sarah, and Britney. KIND OF AWESOME!!!!!!
Jess and Ryan memorized those lines like NO TOMORROW!!!! It was awesome. Ashely and I shared holding the "Boom Stick" (AKA that really long stick with the microphone on the end of it in order to get better volume.) It was bunches of fun except for the fact that we froze to death. we probably should have done the smart thing and took a break midway to get dethawed, then come back to the set. Buuuuut...timecrunches. Most of us know how that goes.
Anywho....the movie is 'wrapped', and we're all avidly awaiting our own, personalized copies. :)
Tonight is going to be an epic night in 308 Feeley. Brittany and Rachell have a friend coming to stay the night....and Ryan is going to be staying the night....yeah, this is going to be some shit. Party in Rm. 203 in 308 Maple!!!!!
LATEEEEEEEEEEEE NIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT!!!!!!!
(Ok, so about that....I didn't think I was going to have time for lunch this afternoon because I had forgotten about a group mtg. SO, I run back to my dorm, pop a bag of popcorn. That's my lunch. Yep, thats it. This was at 2pm. It is now 8pm, and I am STARVING!!!! But there is still another half hour until late night food. Sooo...yeah.
Anywho, I'm going to gooooooo and dethaw some more.
Love you all.
Stay warm, and enjoy the warm weather (if you still have such a luxury) while you can!!!!

GLEEEEEE!!!!
Soooo...guess what today is? GLEE DAY!!! (And Eastwick immediately following!!!)
What a fantastic evening this is going to be...and Sir Ryan and I are planning on taking a BUNCH of pictures to let everyone from home know JUST how much fun we're having at college. Tonight's the night...get pumped!!!!
I am finally done ALL homework assignments in one of my classes for the rest of the year. (Not including group projects and stuff like that, but all pre-assigned hw readings and papers are complete.) KIND OF PUMPED!!!! I'm working on my remaining classes...I'm about 1/3 done the rest of my hw for another class, and still trying to do what I can with the remaining 3. My two COR classes actually don't count seeing as how they do not let you know what your upcoming homework assignments are going to be, but for SWK Methods, Human Behavior, and Intro to SWK, I'm working on. (Intro SWK is complete...so actually TECHNICALLY it's just SWK Methods and Human Behavior.)
Mmmm whatcha sayyyyyy. I have another riddiculous 7-8 pager coming due in about 2 weeks that I'm trying desperately to get started on....we'll see how well that works out. ;)
Anywho--I miss contra dancing. I want to take Luke sometime. He, however isn't so keen on the idea. Hmph, well fine. Ryan and I had an epic time (especially since Velvet and Ashely had fun with it too) so thats ok. However, IDK how well Luke will fare around the 12th of Feb...but that's another story. :D
Halloween is also coming. I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited. October is my favorite month of the year and Halloween is my FAVE holiday (Christmas being a close 2nd.) Mmmm...holidays. Such fantastic inventions.
Ok, well before I start boring all of you with the morbid details of this Aesthetic Expressions paper, I am going to go get started on that.
Love everyone, and stay safe!!!

Good Morning, Sunshines!
Ughhhh. Soooo incredibly tired. Today is my official homework day, and seeing as how Ashley and Velvet both have to work up at the library from 12-5 today, I'm going up with them to go get some help on something. :)
It's going to be a great time. Ryan would be going with us except he's off gallavanting through Burlington with a friend from home to go have lunch at Applebees (again?) So, he'll probably join us later.
Right now it is 46 degrees outside and I don't want to get dressed. But pj's will not suffice in this temperature...Awesome.
Ok my lovelies, I'm off to go get some homework done.
Love ya'll and ttyl!!!

Contra Dancing
...is THE most amazing experience of my life. Not only was I really excited to go with Ashley's family and Velvet and Ryan, but I was REALLY excited because this was my first official couple's dancing experience. (As in the kind of dance you need a partner in order to do...not the clubbing shit that you can do by yourself or with someone else.) BANK! (Bring it On reference, anyone?) Ha ha ha, but I digress. Contra dancing was THE most epic experience of my life, and even though it only happened last night, I am STILL excited about this whole thing!!!
Now--my physicality. Might you be wondering how I happen to be doing at this particular moment in time? Yes? Well, then let us proceed. My thighs are SO SORE.
List of Megan's Exercise for the Week:
Wed. Night- Beava <3'in Dance. 3 Hrs of semi-ok music. Kind of hard to dance to, but there was a few good songs.
Thurs. Night- Kickboxing. 1 Hr of INTENSIVE cardiovascular kickboxing n' shit.
Fri. Night- Contra Dancing. 3 HRS of INTENSIVE 20 MINUTE dances with NONSTOP action.
Oh boy! Yes, so hopefully I will be losing some weight on Weight Watchers by this coming Monday. We shall see!!!
Tonight in 308 Velvet, Ryan, Ashley and I watched Zombieland, and Serendipity. (Awesome combo? I thought so, too.) Unfortunately Jess has gone home for the weekend so she missed out on those opportunities, but it's ok. :)
Generally speaking my life in 308 lately is AWESOME. Free time this weekend and Monday (due to Columbus Day) to do homework, SLEEP, and maybe I'll even go to the gym tomorrow and work up a sweat. Who knows? Anything is possible, "...whaddaya say to taking chances?" (Thank you Celine Deon for your amazing musical talents.)
I will leave you with Celine Deon- Taking Chances (on YouTube).
Enjoy your evening!
Love as Always,
Megan

RIP Moon
WTF NASA? WHY ARE YOU MESSING WITH OUR MOON? WHY DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU NEED TO GET YOUR GRUBBY LITTLE HANDS ALL OVER THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE? LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE!!!!!
Nobody is happy about this. The entire country is in an uproar, and I believe there are going to be riddiculous amounts of protests going on tomorrow. If this moon gets out of orbit and the oceans get messeed up, I am NOT going to be a happy camper.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
In news closer to home,
I am trying to work on my Sci Rev paper that is due tomorrow at 11. This is soooome shit! Hahaha. Wow-yep. Ryan is living with us until Sunday, and I get to get my computer looked at by the Help Desk tomorrow in order to get the Trojan off that has managed to work its way in. I am having them wipe my entire harddrive of everything and anything, and starting from scratch. YAY!
Anywho, I must get back to my paper. It's about half done, but not quite there yet. Love ya'll incase I don't ever get to write to you again.
x.o.x.o.
Love (hopefully not for the last time,)

Mmmm Whatcha Sayyyyyy
Is kind of an awesome song. Hahahhaa. This is a bit like "Waterloo" in the sense that the only word/phrase I know is "Mmm Whatcha Say," and "Waterloo," respectively.
Tonight is the Beava' Feva' Dance @ CampChamp! Whooooot! Sooo excited to go dance and have some fun!
Ashely is working till 8 tonight, Velvet works till midnight so she will not be with us until a bit later this evening.
However, Jess, Ryan, and I are allllllll set to go. We've been waiting for this since last week. You can only imagine the excitement build up. :D
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
Anywho, Glee and Eastwick will be caught up on by tomorrow evening at the ABSOLUTE latest. :)
G2g get ready 2 go n' shit! Hope you all have a wonderful evening, and stay out of trouble. Wednesday nights are the BEST nights for school dances!
Leave a comment and let me know how your life is going!!!

Why Do I Have SO MUCH Free Time?
That was sarcasm by the way.
I love running all over the place. A woman from Student Accounts called me this morning saying my Work Study Financial Aid Contract has been adjusted, so I need to find time in my day to run all the way down there to see her, sign it, and be on my way again.
I'm kind of excited because I get one of my first papers back from the hardest grader of a professor I have ever encountered. I feel like I did a good job on the paper, but only time will tell. I'll know around 1:45, but seeing as how I won't be back home and off campus till about 10-10:30 tonight, I may or not get back to you with the answer right off. Perhaps tomorrow?!
Today I have been doing research on Antoni/Anton/Antony van/von Leeuwenhoek. Yes, there are that many variations of his name. Ryan and Velvet and I had an EPIC BATTLE at UVM Medical Library yesterday. There was a book I needed to take out, and seeing as how I was allowed to register at the regular UVM library as a Champlain student, I figured maybe I'd have the same luck at the Medical Library.......or not. "Absolutely not!" was the answer I received along with a huge grin from the guy behind the counter. Ryan whips out his UVM ID like he's 007 and the guy behind the counter has to relent. It was epic. Ryan handed me the book right after he signed it out. :)
I printed off about a million and one pages from the school library as I did not want to waste my own paper. It's all good n' shit!
Weather: looks like it may clear up. I don't feel like I'm being squished by the clouds anymore now that they have lifted. Yay for mild relaxation!
And while we're on the subject of relaxation...meetings with ALL of my advisees are FINISHED as of 5pm yesterday. SUCCESSSSSSSS!!!!
My body can now breathe, and I can get back to focusing on myself, how I'm doing health/weight wise, as well as mentally. Megan needs time for herself, too, ya know?!
I'm going to peace out to go check Facebook. Leave some comments to let me know if the blog is going in a direction that you like!

Love,
Megan
P.S. Feeley house is still there! Nobody has managed to burn it down though...although Jess and I did smell something like burnt marshmallows or burnt s'mores last night. Not sure what that was all about...but oh well. :)

Velvet Visits Vermont
This weekend, I took Velvet home with me to the boonies of VT.
We drove everywhere, including Littleton, NH (tax-free state!!!), and even up around Willoughby Lake. It would have been perfect if the rain had disappeared.
But at least most of our leaves are starting to have turned, and we have lots of yellows, reds, and oranges up my way. Can't wait to get into the full swing of fall. :D
Weight Watchers has pretty much gone out the window since Thursday, and I'll have to jump back on the bandwagon starting tomorrow. Velvet and I made another PIE for my family--and it looks fantastic. MMMMMmmmmmmmmmm.....pie.
Being home has been nice (I got to drive my mom's standard again...yay!!!!!), but I can't wait to get back to Burlington and the dorm life. Growing up as an only child has been great, but I'm used to the hustle and bustle of the dorm life with people running and stomping up and down stairs at all hours of the night and day. I kind of miss that. :(
I will keep everyone posted when I get back to Burlington bright and early tomorrow morning!
Chin up, kiddos. The rain won't be here forever. :)
xoxoxo

Lyndonville
I am taking Velvet home with me to Lyndonville in about 15 minutes.
She remains extensively skeptical about this whole situation.
I'm kind of pumped.
Will write more once we get her home! (This sounds like I'm bringing home a new cat!)
Love as Always,
Megan

FUDGE-BOTTOMED CANDY CRUNCH PIE--will you marry me?
Please?
I promise to buy you a ring as soon as I get paid.
Love Forever,
Megan

For the Last Night in September 2009...
Ryan came over to watch Glee with Jess, Ashley, and I. Velvet works Wednsday nights till midnight, so unfortunatley she can't join us this semester for Glee.
However, things went pretty well.
There were multiple Gleegasms, and then Eastwick came on last night as well. FANTASTIC shows!
Ryan and I got up this morning and walked down to Champ. Farms to get Ben and Jerry's ice cream (the Chunky Monkey kind!) for breakfast. Unfortunately, when I tried to enter this into my Weight Watchers Tracker, I discovered that apparently Weight Watchers doesn't believe in Chunky Monkey ice cream or Ben & Jerry's. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?????????? So I just estimated my points worth....which could be potentially dangerous. But we'll see how this all works out.
Todays plans: Kickboxing. OH boy. Can't wait to come out drenched in sweat, and hoping I don't pass out. Granted, I definitely need it. (See above paragraph about breakfast.) I am hoping I will survive with my consciousness still intact. We shall see!
I am on campus all day today meeting with my advisees. I am a PA (Peer Advisor) and so I have about 14 Freshmen assigned to me to help guide them through Champlain's LEAD program. Completing LEAD is IMPORTANT because if you DON'T you will NOT be able to register for spring classes. I gave my advisees the ultimatem that today was the last day they are going to be able to meet with me, and my first appointment has ditched me......
WOW. Way to take responsibility for your college career. I am torn between telling him that no, he cannot reschedule an appointment with me, and relenting and making an appointment sometime on Sunday, or early Monday morning. This sucks. He needs to be more on top of his game. Welcome to college, and such!
Unfortunatley, I'll have to make a decision. I would love to call it quits, but I feel like my supervisor would make me reschedule with him regardless, so I might as well automatically do so after I meet with the rest of my students today.
On to more important matters: PIE!!!!! Velvet made us a Fudgey-bottom something or other pie which includes LOTS of whipped cream, and chocolate pie crust, and a candybar of your choice. Well, there goes my points for the whole week. Psh...who needs points anyway? My only drawback for this pie is that I don't really like whipped cream....yes, I know. This probably makes me Captain of the FAIL boat.
\Deserts and I sometimes get along. I tend to be verrrrryyyy picky unless there is chocolate involved. I will try anything as long as chocolate is involved. Fruity pastries, donuts, and custard-based deserts I do not have a fondness for. The ONLY donut I like is a chocolate glazed one. But since donuts are worth lots of points, I tend to avoid donuts all together. GOOD PLAN!
Well, I hope this catches you up on some of the stuff that went down last night. I will spend the rest of my day waiting for advisees who may or may not show up, and doing a group meeting, and waiting for more advisees, then going to kickboxing, then more advisees, (supper may or may not happen), and THEN I can go home to do homework.
Velvet is coming home with me tomorrow so I can show her what Vermont REALLY looks like. Really excited, but if I don't get my homework done I don't know how much I'll be enjoying my weekend.
Bottom Line: Wish me luck, and send me positive thoughts so I can get through today without breaking down into tears! Stay strong, and never look back (unless there was something that made you smile.)
Hope to write again soon!
Love,
Megan

I am torn between telling him that no, he cannot reschedule an appointment with me, and relenting and making an appointment sometime on Sunday, or early Monday morning. This sucks. He needs to be more on top of his game. Welcome to college, and such!
Unfortunatley, I'll have to make a decision. I would love to call it quits, but I feel like my supervisor would make me reschedule with him regardless, so I might as well automatically do so after I meet with the rest of my students today.
On to more important matters: PIE!!!!! Velvet made us a Fudgey-bottom something or other pie which includes LOTS of whipped cream, and chocolate pie crust, and a candybar of your choice. Well, there goes my points for the whole week. Psh...who needs points anyway? My only drawback for this pie is that I don't really like whipped cream....yes, I know. This probably makes me Captain of the FAIL boat.
\Deserts and I sometimes get along. I tend to be verrrrryyyy picky unless there is chocolate involved. I will try anything as long as chocolate is involved. Fruity pastries, donuts, and custard-based deserts I do not have a fondness for. The ONLY donut I like is a chocolate glazed one. But since donuts are worth lots of points, I tend to avoid donuts all together. GOOD PLAN!
Well, I hope this catches you up on some of the stuff that went down last night. I will spend the rest of my day waiting for advisees who may or may not show up, and doing a group meeting, and waiting for more advisees, then going to kickboxing, then more advisees, (supper may or may not happen), and THEN I can go home to do homework.
Velvet is coming home with me tomorrow so I can show her what Vermont REALLY looks like. Really excited, but if I don't get my homework done I don't know how much I'll be enjoying my weekend.
Bottom Line: Wish me luck, and send me positive thoughts so I can get through today without breaking down into tears! Stay strong, and never look back (unless there was something that made you smile.)
Hope to write again soon!
Love,
Megan

Another Day...and More Awesome Randomness. Also, Introductions Are In Order.
So, tonight at 308 Maple, we got our Tarot Cards read by Brooke. She was DEAD-ON with every single one of my roommates (and Velvet.) How AWESOME is that? Words cannot define the AWESOMENESS and EXCELLENCE that is the accurateness of the tarot readings.
Before I get too much more into what happens and whom to, I will get into describing everyone.
Firstly, Hi! I'm Megan! Nice to meet you! Essentially, if you want to know about me, check out my profile here on Blogger. I am a sophomore in the Social Work Major here at Champlain College. 308 Maple is my residence hall for this year (obviously) and it is AWESOME. My life rocks. I have a boyfriend named Luke, who I will describe next. I was born and raised here in VT, and consider myself a native.
Luke- My excellent boyfriend. I love him to death and he loves me back. He is a redneck hick and does stupid shit to get an adrenaline rush. Dirtbikes is an avid interest of his, and he loves the outdoors. He is protective of those close to him, and will take a bullet for anybody he takes a shine to. Stay on his good side--he can be lethal when he wants to be. ;) Luke is also a fellow resident of VT.
Velvet- Does not live in 308, however she may as well. When Velvet gets bored, she cleans up after us. She is basicly like an older sister to everyone in this dorm, and we often look to her for logical advice on our respective issues. From NY, Champlain College & VT are whole different cultures that she has to adjust to. She is doing a fantastic job so far, and although the snow gets a bit intense, she handles it as if she were a true Vermon'er!
Ashley- One of my actual roommates. Although sometimes shy and a bit reserved, Ashely often has excellent input to whatever conversation happens to be going on. As a Professional Writer major, she loves to focus on the fantasy world, and to bring the fantasy world into reality. She loves to make us all laugh, and she has a very unhealthy obsession with chocolate.
Jess- My second roommate. Jess=Superwoman. After having overcome a tragic accident in her family in the past year, she still has the courage to move on and focus on the positives. I really do look up to her, and I LOVE her personality. She will get you motivated to do ANYTHING in your life...like it or not. And as a Marketing major, she could sell icecubes to an Eskimo! :) Jess is simply amazing, and the origional blogger of 308 Maple. I recently have jumped on board as a secondary opinion and to let everyone know what happens from more than a single perception.
Ryan- Also not a resident of 308 Maple. He spends every Wednesday night and some weekends here in the dorm, so we will consider him a part-time resident much in the way we consider Velvet a part-time resident. A note about Ryan...he LOVES THEATRE!!!! Musicals up the @ss, Sweeney Todd, Little Shop of Horrors, Hairspray, you name it, he loves it. I went to the same middle school and high school that Ryan did, and we started becoming friends back in my 8th grade year (his 7th) in Music class. In high school we both ended up in Select Choral Ensemble, and became friends with Eden. Eden is not in the area, but she may be referenced once in a while...just FYI.
Brittany & Rachell- Our other suite members, but we don't see them very often.
These are all the residents of Feeley House that will be mentioned most often, the protaganists of the narrative so-to-speak. Keep tuned for more awesome stories from 308 Maple!
Love,
Megan

Last Weekend
Amongst all the smelly, drunk people at Metronome, we (Jess, Ashley, Luke, Velvet, Chris and Rachel) had a great time at 90s night!
Fact: Middle aged men in green collared shirts hitting on college-age kids is kind of sketchy. (Especially when said middle aged men are drunk.)
Soon I will give a synopsis of every person in order to introduce them to the world, myself included (I'm Megan by the way!)
Keep in touch for more fun information to come.
Love,
Megan.
P.S.- Ryan (another individual soon to be introduced) and I belted out to Golddigger (GLEE version), and attempted to learn the Single Ladies choreography. Key word: attempted.
