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. :)

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!

Love as always,

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. :)

Megan

I'm going to get back to watching House wallow in his excellence, and try to track down my boys. :)
xoxoxo
Love,

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

I think....I am in love....
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

\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
