<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Everything was perfect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I knew exactly what was going to happen, and it was all going to
go my way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Tuesday didn’t have a chance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Until I woke up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I got dressed in the dark, as to not awaken Paige. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">By the time I found something that matched, I was late for work. I
ran to the Taylor building, my legs getting frost bitten. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Then while I was in class, I got a text from my roommate, “Dear
Meg, I assume you are having a good day thus far. *Insert my apartment complex
name here* thought your little red car looked cold, so they put a boot on it.
Have a great day!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I got up and left class. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ran to my apartment building. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Woke Paige up with my hostile yelling. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I didn’t have $50
to get it off my car. None of my male friends would take it off, they said it
would cost more money if they did. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The man wouldn’t come take it off until 2:10. I had to be at the
middle school in exactly twenty minutes to teach about Jamestown. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I got a ride with Holly, she’s the person I team teach with. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I had this lesson planned to the T. I had downloaded the movie,
made a worksheet, and thought I was overly prepared for the lesson. I was
finally going to get a decent review. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Did you know that
Jamestown and The Mayflower have nothing to do with one another? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Holly pulled a new lesson out of thin air and I stood giving moral
support the entire rest of the lesson after my advising teacher made us stop
our lesson, mid lesson. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I left the classroom that day and cried in the parking lot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>You all know how
much I love crying in parking lots. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Then I got in Holly’s car and we drove off, only to be stopped by
my professor. He noticed the tears and made us stop. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">He tried to get me to look at him, to talk about it, or to even
say what was wrong. I didn’t say much. Just that sometimes the fifth grade isn’t
so fun and that tomorrow would better. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Paige and I then
met the man to get the boot off my car. I handed him $60 and waited for my
change. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I don’t have
change for this.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">He still hasn’t come back with my change. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I needed a Diet
Coke in a bad way, so Paige and I went to my favorite Maverick, and then we
went to the park to sit in the sunshine. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Our friend Andrew came and talked with us, I tried not to cry in
front of him. He called the parking man and told him that he wasn’t pleased at
the way his sister was being treated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It was really
nice of him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Paige and I then took a nap because we can. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We did homework and then went to the boys flag football game. I
studied the social studies text book I stole from the fifth graders classroom
and sipped hazelnut hot chocolate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Kyle almost got a
touchdown, instead he got a concussion. He began hitting on anything that
looked over the age of 13. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I then went back to my apartment after the longest day of my life
to create a lesson plan for the next day that wouldn’t be full of lies. Holly
was waiting for me in our usual study room. I lay on the floor while she
bounced ideas off of her fifth grader niece. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I got a phone call just then. The boys wanted me to come play. I
yelled at them and told him I had a million other things to get done, I didn’t
have time to read their English papers for them, or something rude. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I hung up on them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Ten minutes later, Paige showed up with a twisty cone. The boys
had brought us, mainly me, ice cream because it was such a bad day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">It’s those little tiny moments in life when things are super, super
bad. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">When you are laying on the floor, staring at the ceiling
considering being a librarian when you grow up, and suddenly a little glimmer
of hope is there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">It’s going to be okay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Working is something I’ve been doing since I was fourteen. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But this is my first ‘grown up’ job. It may be a temporary position,
but I have an office. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sort
of.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I stole it from a man. It’s not like he put his name on the
door or anything. He just didn’t show up for work one day, and I needed a place
to sit, so I sat there. It’s become my little fish bowl. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have
an uninterrupted view of the entire city of cubical. I can see who is going to
the bathroom. Who is being interviewed. Debbie bouncing on her exercise ball. Rolly
back pack guy going to as the front office ladies questions. Rolled up pants
guy pacing back and forth in front of my office, trying to pluck up the courage
to talk to me. Hilary walking to Fran’s office. My mother going to fax things. Max
going to get Hot Tamales from my mother’s cubical…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And so much more. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But one thing is that if I can see everyone, everyone can
see me. People un-bashfully stare at me. They don’t even wave, they just look
at me in my fishbowl. My frozen tundra fishbowl. I almost can see my breath in
there, therefore I bring my hot pink Snuggie to work. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That girl in the fishbowl wearing a Snuggie listening to
Josh Groban? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That
would be me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today I was working along, just having a grand old time,
when someone’s face appeared very suddenly in my office. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had my earbuds in and didn’t hear them come into my
fishbowl, and I was sorting mail so I didn’t see them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
squeaked rather loudly in fright. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At least twenty seven heads popped up from the copse of cubicles
surrounding me, asking if someone had just died. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nope,
just the girl in the fishbowl.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They just wanted to know what I was listening to. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was
The Killers at the time, go figure. </div>

<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You know those days when you have the feeling you just need
to write? That your fingers know something that your mind doesn’t? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, I have that feeling. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s amazing how far one semester has changed me yet again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lets go back to the first day of the semester shall we? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A
freshly showered head popped into my room asking if I was planning on going to
church, I told her not to judge me if I didn’t go. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That head became my best friend. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Wrmgm46d5jk/UBNt0U9I56I/AAAAAAAAAqQ/XaBKrZEStIU/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Wrmgm46d5jk/UBNt0U9I56I/AAAAAAAAAqQ/XaBKrZEStIU/s320/photo.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Annelise came into my life exactly when I needed her. She
taught me about loving myself, believing in the male population again, she
taught me to be brave, and she taught me to dance in public. Not a day goes by
that I don’t thank Heavenly Father for putting her into my life, and I know it
wasn’t a coincidence that she got moved rooms two weeks before semester
started. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started talking in my classes, saying hi to people, and
trying new things. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Such as going to boys apartments with cupcakes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Yep.
Call me a cupcake slut if you want. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those boys became my best friends, I cannot wait to see the
Colbie creep and to play Fruit Ninja with Jeffy again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being the FHE mom was scary, stressful, but so, so
rewarding. Those men taught me so much about life, and how to talk to boys, and
that they aren’t as scary as you think. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I learned so much about studying, and the power of not doing
homework on Sunday. It’s rough, staying in on a Friday night, but not doing
homework on Sunday improved my GPA. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I passed math guys! C+! that’s basically a B-! Which is
above average! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Never
again will I have to take math again in my life. Can I get a whoop whoop? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My roommates taught me patience. And laughter. And that I can’t
expect others to have the same standards of cleanliness as myself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And
that sometimes, your roommates can be your very best friends. I miss my
Allison. Her uncle lived in Peru. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saying goodbye to the boys is what put everything into
perspective. In my purple shorts and wrapped in my soiled zebra blanket, I realized
something. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The old Meg would have never done anything this Megan did. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I talked to boys. I went on late night adventures. I
studied. I talked to my neighbors. I held movie nights. I went to farmers
markets alone. I went to things with people from class. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was brave. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then when I returned, I knew I couldn’t just go back to
normal. I had to try. I had to be brave again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So when I sent that text, the one that I wouldn’t have dared
to send a year ago, I knew things were different.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I didn’t have to send that text. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I did. And one day, I’ll tell you the story. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It might be mushy, it might be sad.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But in the end, I made a choice to be brave a long time ago.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s nice to finally be living up to that promise. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Working at a real life job isn’t very fun, but being able to
take walks to go visit Robin helps tremendously. My eyes are falling out
because all I do is stare at a computer screen all day long. But the pay is
good, and I’m very poor. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s nice to be happy all the time. It’s nice to do things
that scare me once and awhile. It’s nice to surprise people once and awhile. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everything is different. I’m <i>happy</i>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m living.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And I cannot wait to see what comes next. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We fall to learn how to pick ourselves up again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(I
cried in Batman)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Life is about letting people in. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s
about forgiveness and letting it go. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s about being happy for others. It’s about saving
children from the bushes and stepping on a bee in the process. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s life. You have to have the good with the bad. You have
to be prepared to have it be dark before it can be great. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wouldn’t take back any of the tears I have cried. I wouldn’t
do over my freshman year of college. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If I did, I wouldn’t know how insanely happy I am. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And that means everything. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Happy summer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have to go to bed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m typing this with my eyes closed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have to find the perfect dress to wear to a wedding
tomorrow night.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A boy
might be accompanying me.<br />

Sometimes you go to an Indexing party and see the guy that
gives you butterflies holding hands with a girl that obviously isn’t you. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes people don’t text you back. Or answer their
phones. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes you don’t want to do the dishes for the third time
today. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes you cannot believe that there are only 19 days
until you move home. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes you think about just not taking your environmental
stewardship final. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes you get letters, sometimes you don’t. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes all you listen to is cello music. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes you just don’t talk to your roommate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes you just say sometimes way too much.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
19 more days.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

it will be 18. </div>

It’s bitter sweet. I’m really excited to go home, because home
is where my heart is. I’m going back just in time for Steel Days. But, I’ve
been having so much fun lately. I’ve been making friends and going to exciting
places. I’m excited for next semester. Everything is happening so quickly. Time
seems to be flying on by. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My life is in a completely different place than I thought it
would be this time last year. Last summer I was so worried if I made the right
choice. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know,
100% that I made the right choice in coming here. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was so frightened by life itself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m
breathing it all in now. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The dog days are over in a sense. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m happy. I’m ready to kick some finals butts in two weeks.

It feels like my mind has been going a zillion miles a
minute lately. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve been shaking like no bodies business, but that’s because
I don’t eat enough. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t
eat red meat, pork, eggs, or fish anymore. But that’s beside the point. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I study, study, study all the time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I worked an extra hour today and almost left a call me maybe
note in a young man’s backpack. I didn’t though. Maybe next time. He gave me an
odd look when I answered yes to his do-you-have-student-loans question. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cool
kids have student loans and -$5.76 in their bank account, and owe $97 to my
apartment complex. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I get paid on Friday. Captain Crunch is my new best friend
until then. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ll eventually finish the Mexico story. It really is a good
one, I promise. Maybe once school is done and I have time to actually do fun
things on my computer. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s a lie.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pintrest is a problem. Hannah and I spend way too much time
during Pakistan on our iPhones. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Love is a four letter word that isn’t spoken.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I asked The Woman if I was good looking today. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I fell in the toilet because a man used it last. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Weird.
Gross. Someone needs to work on their aim. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Said man and I bonded over Deadliest Catch/Toddlers and Tiaras
and quesadillas, while I entertained him whilst his girlfriend, my roommate,
was at school. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have four weeks left of school. Jamison gets married in
four weeks. Crazy how fast time goes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m
thinking about going on a mission again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s
late. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m sleepy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
People kept coming over and talking to me last night at
random hours. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1:14 Davy came over and asked if I would come see if her new
memory foam mattress was as fluffy as mine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It wasn’t.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2:32 Allison came and wanted me to go into the kitchen with
her because she had a bad dream.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3:54 I thought my alarm was going off. It wasn’t. Sick joke
cellular device, sick joke. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4:08 changed my pants, in my sleep. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I went to class an hour early today. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s
fine that I forget my schedule still.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Said man is already picking out friends of mine to date in
the fall time. </div>

Joy. I
like men. </div>

Also,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s time for sleep. </div>

Goodnight little ones. I’m not dead. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh, hey there time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Where did you go?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s
been embarrassingly long since I’ve blogged. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’d say I’m sorry, but I guess I’m not. I have a life that I
just so happen to be living. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But, I think I’m lonely. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Scratch that, I’m lonely. I’m surrounded by all new friends
that make me laugh and whatnot, but yet, I’m still feeling alone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Is that weird? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The other day I was hanging out with two of my friends, one
of them got a phone call and then the other one did too. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was just sitting there and they were having the time of
their lives talking to their friends on the other end. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I stood up and said, “I’m important too” and left the room.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dramatic? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yep. I’m good at that. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I just want to be around people that know me. That know my
sense of humor, and can understand my sarcasm. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I just want to go get a twisty cone in a cup with no cone from
JCW’s and have a conversation that comes as easy and breathing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I just….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I just….</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Want someone to want to be with me. That inviting Meg was on
the top of their to-do list. I don’t want to be the roommate to the attractive
girl that has to be invited because they want her to come. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve gained the nickname of mom this semester. It’s because I’m
always helping people, I sew their pants, I bring the Advil, I pick them up, I drop
them off, I feel the foreheads, and I stop all the fights. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s lonely being independent. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m
important too. </div>

I will miss you Alex. I will miss you deeply and truly. You
were an amazing friend, and I’m sorry I didn’t tell you how much you meant to
me. But, I know you know it. Because Holl and I were like your sisters, you
said it several times. I loved you like my big brother; you made me laugh way
too much and let me use your textbook more than you ever used it. </div>

and they smelled like cotton candy. </div>

</span>Annelise and I went to the store and got York Peppermint
Patties. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span>I have red fingernails.</div>

</span>I have you as a mother, and Drew as a father,
and Holly is my sister, and my brother tells me Helen Keller jokes.<br />
<br />
I am finally past my midterms, sweet glory they are over. I
cannot believe this semester is half way over. It has flown by with laughter
and good times. Time spent with my new friends, in my new life, and I’m excited
about coming back here next semester. I’m getting so close to my degree. I’m
excited for the change in the wind. I can still feel it; Heavenly Father keeps
telling me that I need to be patient. Something magical is about to happen. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

term of endearment. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve missed our daily conversations and English assignments
together. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’d give anything for you to call me to pick you up again,
to sit by you in English, or have you dance like a crazy man to your iPod by
the fountain. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

though it’s been a little bit since we’ve talked, I hope you know how much I love
you. That you are an amazing friend and, Alex, I’m sorry I ate your pizza when you
took a nap. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you would have told me where my life would be in one
semester, I wouldn’t have believed you.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Friends, I’m insanely happy. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Like, happy happy. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m laughing, having real life adventures, and I spend most
of my time in a boy’s apartment. (No Abby, I don’t have a boyfriend!) </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Crazy
right?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s amazing what can happen in just one semester.
Everything changed. I thought I had what I wanted last semester, turns out I was
wrong. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m so, so lucky to have A in my life. She is my buddy, my
best friend, and I love our many adventures. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tonight I went for a drive with Jeff. He’s a cowboy. He
walked A, A, and I to his huge truck and we drove around listening to Spanish
music. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The wind was blowing my hair in my face, and I couldn’t help
but smiling. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve never been this happy. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have a job on campus, I already think I like it. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My toes are purple, no one knows why. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My apartment didn’t catch on fire today, unlike the people
in building three. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have friends everywhere these days. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have plans. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What isn’t there to be happy about?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s often said that things fall apart so that better things
can come together; I’m living proof that it’s true. My world crumbled several
times in the past five years. Guess what? I wouldn’t trade those times for
anything, yes they made me cry. But I wouldn’t be so happy right now. I wouldn’t
know how happy I really am.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Happiness is a verb. Happiness is to live. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I promise many posts about Mexico, the time I broke the car
wash, I’ll let you meet the boys of apartment number ten, A, the missionaries,
and more.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But for now, it’s bed time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17291035692608132721noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167343299212092354.post-49212833957149838862012-05-10T20:16:00.001-06:002012-05-10T20:16:26.047-06:00Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.<br />

<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The group of Canadian tourists gawking at me was not
helping. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I was openly weeping in an airport, sitting on the floor
next to a man who smelled like potatoes, with my legs sprawled like a child’s. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>All I had
to remember was my passport, that’s it. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Guess what I forgot? </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I missed my flight to Mexico because of it. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After my crying fit in front of the Canadians, I regrouped
and got myself booked on another flight. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One to Dallas in two hours,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Another
to Miami three and a half after I landed,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>Then
on to Cancun in the morning.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Aka. I got to sleep in the Miami airport. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My dear sweet neighbor brought me my passport, so I was able
to get past the gate, and I finally boarded the plane. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I took my window seat and prepared myself for the major day I
was about to have, when a gold chain wearing Canadian sat by me. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“So, you missed your flight?” </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Oy. Joy. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A Canadian tourist was hitting on me the entire flight.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It was
just the start of a very long process to get myself to my cousins wedding in
Mexico.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m not much of a nap person.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I wish I was one of those people who could take an hour to
recharge and sleep, but I am not.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My eye was red this morning and felt like I was trying to
suction cup it out with my contact lens. So I got to wear the glasses I got in
junior high to class today.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Cute. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I decided to try to get some sun on my legs today, since I’m
going to Mexico in two days. I wore a cute dress and sandals.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bad choices.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I almost froze to death because of the arctic breeze that
blew me over. Whoever decided to make the Smith building four floors has a sick
sense of humor; I was shivering all of the way up to my lit class. I’ve learned
the art of making it look like you had in in-depth conversation about the poem,
when in reality you and your partner talked about how the guy that sits in the
corner no longer has facial hair. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“There is perfection in the imperfection” I got the gold
star of the day for that one. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I came home, put on my favorite oversized hoodie, and got
under my heaven blanket. My new memory foam mattress cover was the best $50 I ever
spent. I quickly drifted to sleep. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Six hours later I awoke to myself opening up a thing of
cookie dough. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sleep walking and eating. Not good. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I then proceeded to feel like a soggy noodle for the next
hour or so. I kept hitting my head on walls and had a migraine. The joys of a
nap hangover. I walked to the MC to buy more printer paper and had to take a
seat because the whole ordeal was too much for me to handle. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m finally feeling better, getting more homework done.
Emailing professors informing them of my upcoming absences. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’d really like to be in Mexico with my family right now. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tomorrow starts the trek, hopefully my eye will cooperate so
I can see while I drive back to Utah. I get to see my German and Wendy bird
tomorrow. That’s good news. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Very good news. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Almost makes my hangover feel better. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m officially done with my first week of this spring
semester. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m taking really interesting classes this semester. I love
my literature class. My roommates are crazy pants, but I think I might like

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A and I clicked on the first day. We go on adventures and
have quesadilla parties almost every afternoon. I love having my own room though;
it’s nice to have a place of solitude.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I got in trouble for breaking dress code this week. My
cuffed skinnies are obviously risqué. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Didn’t you know, ankles are hot? </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I like to sit perched on my desk, looking out the window. I
can see everything, it’s calming.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve been thinking a lot about last semester, my old
roommates specifically. I was talking to my mom about this and she asked what I’m
going to do when I see them again. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Truthfully? I don’t know. I saw Sami baby yesterday when I was
studying at the MC. It was nice, her sweet smile and easy laugh are something I
took for granted last semester. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Everyone makes choices. We all make mistakes, but it is our
agency that defines us. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve said I was sorry for the last time. I don’t need people
who don’t need me. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hate me if you need to. That’s okay. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m happy. I’m learning. I’m doing really <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">really</i> great. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Happy first week of school, only 12 more to go! </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love this song. I love his voice. This song just feels
like a summer drive doesn’t it? </span></div>
