Definitely inappropriate.  Definitely one of my favorite songs, lately.  :)

Classes, Housing, and Chargers, OH BOY!

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to my blog.  :)  This week has been an intensive, exhasuting one, and I can't wait for things to finally be wrapping up.

I had my last seminar class this morning.  I also found out that I don't have to attend the final exam slot set out for seminar because our final evaluation takes place at our final site visits by our field liasons.  Whooo, yeah!!! That means that one class is fully wrapped up.

As for other stuff, I have only 1 remaining 12 PAGE PAPER left to write, and then my stress for this semester will be over.

Housing selection went really well!  Ashley and I are going to be in our same room again next year here in 308.  We don't know if we have a 3rd roommate yet, or who she might be, but we are hoping she will be nice!  The girls who will be living in the double with us next year were kind of stalking us outside the building, looking for a way in to see what the dorm looks like.  The fact that they were stalking us already demonstrates that they are going to fit in perfectly with us.  This is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship!  Ryan lucked out in being able to live in a CASTLE next year.  Granted, it's on the 5th FLOOR, but at least he has his single.  He's happy. :)  (And half of his dresser/closet are going to me, soo....) yeah...

I have all the classes I want for next semester!  Here's what I'm taking: East Meets West (one of my COR classes about E & W Medicine, Chinese Journeys, Social Injustice in a Diverse Society, Social Welfare, Statistics, and Research Methods I.  Whooot! 

Basically, next semester is going to be AWESOME.  Hopefully I am awarded work-study, and hopefully I am able to pay my bills with just the one job...but we'll see.  :)  I can't wait to start fresh with all of my favorite people. 

In terms of my computer charger, my new one came in today!  Whoooo!!!!  I was able to bring Daphne's back to her, and now things are back to normal and as they should be.

The return of GLEE was fabulous on Tuesday, and I can't wait to see what sort of drama unfolds for this next installment. :D  Very exciting stuff!

Ok, well it is 2:40 am on Saturday morning, I suppose I should get on with my life.

Te amo everyone!

You HAVE to See This!


....just sayin.


Ok, so on to real business, my life = AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH right now.  My internship isn't all that bad today seeing as how I have something to do (yay!) but still...I'm just about ready to be done.

I'm preparing to get in to take a CCV course this summer, and I've filled out the online application...so now I'm just waiting to hear back either via e-mail or letter to my home mailbox, and take the next steps.  I've requested a copy of my transcript, so I'm well on my way to navigating ANOTHER college system.

Next week I have a couple of recognition dinners coming up.  The first is an EHS Division Honors night.  Velvet, Ryan, and Ashley are going to accompany me for the evening for the dinner and recognition (I guess I got in because of my GPA or something, but I'm not really sure.  I feel like I should have been acknowledged for this last year as well if that is the case,) and overall I think it will be fun.  It's free food....and not caf-related (I don't think.)  What more could you want?!

The second is PA recognition night.  This unfortunately I have to go to by myself, but it's supposed to be "fun", and "themed"...and that makes me not want to go already.  I'm just really done with being a PA, but again..it's free food....and NOT caf related.  WHOOO HOOO!

This weekend, although the weather is supposed to be in the 70s and GORGEOUS...I'll give you THREE guesses where I'll be...and the first one doesn't count.  North Beach?  Yeah right.  Try again.  C'mon...you can figure this out!  THERE you go...fianlly.  Yep...that's right, the library.  How depressing is that?!  I mean, I have this 25+ source bibliography due a week from today, and I'm kind of freaking out.  Mostly because I'm not sure I have time to get it done, but secondly, I don't really have the motivation to do so either.  I hate my COR classes this year.  Most of the students in my class aren't all that bad, but with as much as I have on my plate this semester, the two COR professors I have are asking wayyy too much of me.  Any other semester I wouldn't have had as huge a problem with it, but I literally don't have time to sit down and do all the $hit they want me to (of course I say this as I'm spending 15 mins on a blog...) I'M VENTING, OK?! JEEZ!

This past weekend was fun because I got to go sit on a panel of students at Accepted Students Day on Saturday to represent the SWK program and where I came from, why I chose SWK, that sort of thing.  Velvet continued with her strange habit of stalking me, and we both together continued our strange (actually, completely normal) habit of stalking another Megan we know.  She is in Music Makers with us, sits next to me, and has our same sense of humor.  In short, we love her.  And we now see her all over campus....like, whether we want to or not.  SO, that's been fun!

Looking forward to this weekend (again), my family said that they would like for me to come home...which would be amazing.  Except remember that whole 25 source bibliography I have to do?  And the 77-or-so degeree weather + sun?  Yeah....uhm....not sure going home is going to be an option.  Sunday though, they will be coming up to take me out for an Easter lunch/dinner, so that will be great.  (Again, not caf food!)

Looking ahead two weeks, #1) GLEE RETURNS, #2) Champlain Loses It has its finale party (which somehow Ashley Velvet and I are still in,) #3) We have two Music Makers concerts-one for a fundraiser, another for a Diversity and Inclusion dinner (maybe not caf food?), #4) Accepted Students Day-which I may get to go represent for SWK again, and even further, #5) the Music Maker's own concert on April 20th, 7pm, in the Auditorium.  WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!  It's been another great semester for Music Makers, so this will be exciting. 

I forgot to mention!  Zumba is amazing.  I looked into taking some classes this summer back in my area, but it's $45 for 6 classes.  Not sure I want to pay for that.  Actually, that's kind of riddiculous.  Maybe if there's a class in Montpelier on Mondays/Wednesdays that's cheaper I can hang around after my summer class to do that too!  We shall see.  I've finally found a fitness program that I actually love, and I guess it's too soon to tell whether or not I can continue with it this summer.  If not, I'll have to try to make it work in my schedule for next semeseter.

All in all....I have a crap load of work coming up all due within the next 3-4 weeks.  I've worked hard for some of this stuff, and so now balancing the rewards (AKA recognition dinners) around all the hard work I still have left to do is going to be an interesting dance.  We'll see how that all goes.

Class and housing registrations have been taking a toll on everyone as well.  Planning a schedule that you can live with is difficult!  Like, it's almost a life and death situation..but not.  Most students try to get a Friday or a Monday off so that they can relax, sleep, whatever on the 3 day weekend.  The rest of us are just hoping classes we need to take don't fill up before our registration window opens and we're able to get into the classes we want.

Housing selection is going to take a toll on a lot of us too.  Ashley and I would like to try to get our same triple again, so we're waiting for priority numbers to come out in order to see what sort of chance we have of making that happen again.  We love our couch (it's a place for Ryan to stay when he comes to visit,) Ashley loves her chair, and we just want our room back.  Velvet is going thru some $hit about just trying to make sure she can come back next year, so we're all hoping for the best.  It would be fantastic if she was able to be our 3rd roommate, but we don't know what's happening just yet.  Everyone just hope for the best.  There's got to be a light at the end of the tunnel somewhere.  RAWR!

I believe that this is the end of everything I can think of for the rest of the semester.  I apologize for all the paragraphs being so choppy, and for the lack of transitions.  Stream of conciousness writing will do that to you. :)

Hope you all have a fantastic day!

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.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Love,
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.)

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

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,
x.o.x.o. Megan

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!!!

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!!!

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
