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. :)

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!

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!!!
