I can't wait to be done with school and come home! I hope I get to see all of you over break. I feel like I've been a bad friend lately. We need to have a fun vacation!
In other news, I had a panic attack yesterday. Not an event I want to repeat any time soon.

Hey I just wanted to apologize to everyone I haven't called in a while. Like the last two months. I've been dealing with some depression problems, which I think were caused my some medication I was on. I've stopped taking it, and I'm feeling so much better. I'm actually able to deal with stuff now, and having a lot fewer meltdowns. So basically I'm more or less back to my perky self, for which Katie is very grateful!
I'm still pretty incommunicado though- I have a crapload of stuff going on. Dance competitions every weekend until Thanksgiving, tests, papers, group projects, etc. Maybe if anyone is home over Thanksgiving we could get together on Saturday the 26th?
Take care, I love you guys!
-Megan

Actually, I'm thinking about some new piercings. NOT the tongue though! I think my eyebrow ring may be migrating out, and I'm slightly bored with it anyway. I'm thinking the nose, and some orbital ear piercings. I love the look of the monroe (above upper lip) but I'm not sure it would look good on me.
Opinions?

Hi all. I'm back at school, and more or less overwhelmed with all the work I have. Chinese is scary, philosophy is hard. Only taking three classes, hard to imagine the state I would be in if I were taking a full load!
I'm on the dance team. That is really the highlight of my semester so far. We have our first performance on October 6th. My back is generally holding up, I'm getting used to low-level constant pain.
We got a DVD player, yay! We were going to buy one anyway, but Tom gave me his old one. No more watching movies on my computer. This is the most exciting thing that has happened lately.

Hey everyone. Sorry I have been so out of touch lately, I have been wierdly busy, and hibernating with my mom and sister. Right now I have the flu and feel terrible. I have a high fever, so this may not make a whole lot of sense.
Big news is that we got a puppy! He is half rottweiler and half golden retriever. His name is Brady or Piranha, depending on whether or not he is asleep. He is way cute, but a little holy terror who needs to get into puppy training stat! I am mosly taking care of him, and it made me realize that while i will probaby be a good mother, I don't want to be for a long time!
Happy birthday a couple days ago Ryan! Sorry I didn't call!
Not much else is going on, or if it is, my overheated brain can't process it.

Thank you so much to those of you who came down to see my dance performance. It meant so much to me that you were willing to take the whole day to come and be with me. It is also a lot more fun to perform when you know a bunch of people in the audience! I hope you enjoyed the show, and thank you for the gifts!
Today I am relaxing and recovering, and resting my back, and I also have a lot of homework, since I haven't done anything for the past week!
Love,
Megan

I suppose I should write something... since I haven't for a really long time.
I've been feeling kinda down lately, although I'm not really sure why. I just can't seem to shake it.
My science class is really frustrating, becuase the prof is really confusing. he never seems to have a plan for the lectures, just rambles, so you never want to know whether you should be writing it down. also, he is mostly deaf, so he doesn't hear questions very well. I don't have too much work right now, but that might not last.
we're watching the Amazing race right now, Yay! there is an adorable gay couple, and rob and amber from surviver. meh.
I am so tired. I couldn't sleep last night because there was wierdly loud water dripping outside the window, and I have a really bad canker sore in my mouth that made it hard for me to fall asleep. then I had to get up at 7:30 for my pointless science lab. it was pointless becuase I didn't understand it then, and I just went to the open lab with the tutor tonight.
Take care guys
love,
Megan

I haven't updated in a while have I? I have just been too stressed out to think. I am pretty bogged down with research papers right now, a draft om a twelve page religion paper is due monday, and the good news is that I am almost ready to start writing. so by that I mean that I have actually read the books and articles that have been floating around my room for weeks.
I also have two papers due the week after thanksgiving. booo! that means I have to work on my vacation. so not fair! One of them should be interesting though. It is a paper for Art History on how the use of the female figur changes over time.
I regestered on tuesday, after much drama trying to track down my advisor and get the stupid pin number needed to regester. next semester I am taking: Revolutionary China (1911-today), feminist approaches to literature, more art history (Renaissance on) and Geology. the science part kind of sucks, but I guess it can't be helped. Also, I couldn't get into anything decent for J-term, so I am just going to stay home for January. that sounds really nice. Yesterday I was threatening to hide under my bed for the rest of the semester.
I really need to go to bed. I haven't had mucj sleep this week. I took a nap, but it didn't help much.

I really though Kerry might pull out a win. But it was decent of him to concede, and spare everybody a long, drawn-out futile wait.

So I went to Seattle last Saturday and went to the the ballet with my mom. We saw "Romeo and Juliet" and it was amazing. Just spectacular. it seems odd to make a shakespeare play into a ballet becuase the plays are all about the words to create the emotion and ballets do not include, well words. But it was so beautiful and emotional. I was in tears at the end. I think it is brilliant how it manages to be both classical and emotional, becuause often classical ballet is fairly emotionless because it's so regimented. but there was an amazing ammount of emotion in the dance. I don't mean acted becuase I was too far back to really see the faces, but the choreography itself was so full of emotion.
I'm not really sure why I'm going off on emotion like this. it just really struck me while watching the ballet.
also i usually don't realy like narrative ballet. I'm a total snob and i usually want my dance to be pure, without distracting stories nad comedy and all that but, Wow. if you ever get a chance, see Romeo and Juliet.
If you're interested, I would also recommend "Lambarena" which PNB is doing later in the season. it is a combination of classical ballet and african dance, really energetic and powerful. and while I'm on a roll here, if you see one dance performance in seattle, it would have to be "Carmina Burana." my favorite ballet ever. you probably know the music, and the dance manages to catch the emotion and rawness and sensuality of the music perfectly.
Ok, I will stop my dance rant now!
Love,
Megan

So, I've had kind of a lousy week. not enough sleep and too much work. I am now behind on my history reading and now I feel like i'm sliding back faster than I can move forward. this is particularly bad becuase I had just gotten all caught up. Anyway, I have to write an essay on the book, so I really need to get busy.
I hate the book I am reading for english. actually, I'm not reading it, and I haven't read it for a week because I hate it so much. for future reference in case you ever need something not to read,it is called "Wide Sargasso Sea"
I have an art history test next tuesday, and I'm totally freaked out about it. I know it's going to be a killer, and I haven't studied at all yet.
I haven't heard back from Tom for thre weeks, and I am starting to get concerned. I know he's fine, but why hasn't he written?
to make matters worse, I'm not feeling well. I threw up after aerobics today (working too hard after eating too much I think) and i am so sore I can hardly move.
But it's not all bad! I am going to the ballet this weekend! I am going to Seattle and meeting my mom to see "Romeo and Juliet" I'm really excited. I had hoped to go up to UW, but I'm getting a ride back to school with my mom Sat. night because I have to much work to do.
My kitties have gotten so big! I went home to see them last weekend and they're big teenage kittens now. with attitudes to match! i think Alex may have mental problems. He can't jump very well and he's not too bright. but he's very sweet and cuddly so that's ok!
I have this hopeless thing for guys in fatigues! it's rediculous! there is this guy in my history class, he's in maybe his late twenties, married with kids, and I just thought, huh, nice guy. well he is in the national guard, and he showed up in uniform the other day and my eyes practically popped out of my head! sick I know.
I'll leave you on that cheery note: megan lusting after a married man.
Love,
megan

It's Monday Morning and I really need some tea right now! Katie has been sick, and neither of us has had much sleep the last few nights. however, i'm not sick, so I'm proud of that!
I have to read this horrible book for history, it's called The Great Divergence. Don't read it. not that I think you would really want to because it is about why Europe had an industrial revolution intead of China (I mean, who cares? it just happened!), but it's written in the most incomprehensible scholarly language you could imagine. I just look at it and i start to fall asleep!
The Amazing race won the emmy! Yay!! as far as i'm concerned, that was the most exciting thing about the whole show. except the scary long haired Rasputin type guy sitting behind Ron Howard. And Phil looked hot. no big surprise there!
So you might know that we have a foster kitten and his mom at my house right now? well, the mom is going to be adopted, and the baby will j start to live in the house with our two cats instead of just in the bedroom. well I was talking to my mom and she said that she introduced the baby to Dom and Alex, and Alex was afraid of him. Now, the baby is about 1/4 the size of Alex! my kitten is a total wuss! He can't jump very high, he isn't too bright and he's scared of a little kitten. I mean he seriously ran away and hid under the bed! But i love him anyway!
have a great week!
Love,
Megan

Hi there, if anyone is even bothering to check this anymore...
I know I haven't updated for a while, but I will try to write more now.
I'm back at school, and starting to wonder what I was thinking when I signed up for classes! I guess that in theory history, lit, religion and art history all in one semester sounded like a good idea, but in reality, I'm reading for five hours a day and feeling totally overwhelmed! and I am guessing that in mid-December I am just going to curl up in a little ball and DIE, bucause I will have three major research papers due, and two big tests, and it will just be a nightmare!
I haven't had time for much except school lately. I have morning classes every day, so I have actually been going to bed a reasonable hour, I'm proud of myself!
I have to go to history soon. It's an awsome class, and there is a really hot guy! he doesn't seem too bright, but I will cut him some slack becuase he is a communications major and is just taking this class for an alternitive perspectives credit.
I ned to go finish my history reading. and if I get bored, I can always read the three chapters of Virginia Woolf that I haven't looked at yet.
Take care!

I got an e-mail from Tom today! It totally made my week!
I am done with classes. just finals now. I just went to a history review session, and i'm totally stressed out now. the questions are really hard. we have to have specific evidence, it reminds me of humanities tests except I have to prepare nine essays instead of two!
I had to do this "body project" for women's studies. basically, I trace the outline of my body and then fill it with whatever i want. I've been spending a lot of time lately looking through magazines and cutting bits out. my dad thought i was crazy when I came home from the library with 20 magazines.
I am so ready for summer! I'm sick of school, and I think that those of you who are voluntarily taking classes over the summer are crazy! I go home in less than a week, but it really isn't so cool because I have so much to do in that week!
The first thing I'm going to do when I get home is baking cookies! I talked to my mom the other day and she was making chocolate chip cookies, and I had a sudden and extreme cookie craving! the ones you get in the vending machine just don't cut it.
We have an end of the year barbecue today. maybe I can get a good veggie burger!
I'll see you guys soon!
Love,
Megan

I saw a really pretty yellow butterfly today. it's hard to believe that it was once a nasty squirmy caterpiller. it gives me hope fof some suys I know. hmm, maybe not. but we can still hope!
Campus is so pretty right now! there are flowers and trees blooming everywhere and the grass is green. I should go outside. maybe it will insipre me to do my reading!
I am so sick of reading! I practically have a physical reaction just looking at books now. and what's worst, even when I don't have to read for school, I dan't feel like doing fun reading. it's not fair! it will probably be years after college before I can read another non-fiction book!
I just had a psyc test. it was pretty easy, but I think I got a litle carried away, and wrote too much in my essays. my hand hurts now. I fel confident about it, which may be a bad sign because last tels I thought I bombed it, and I got an A, so I will probable fail this one!

I finally saw "Bend it Like Beckham" last night!
I loved it!
The coach is way hot!
It makes me want to play soccer, but only if I can have a hot coach too!
Thats a problem with dance, if you have a hot teacher, chances are really good that he's gay.
I resister today, in about two hours. wish me luck!

Hey everyone!
It's been a while, but I've seen some of you recently, and been pretty busy.
I got my wisdom teeth out, I hurt for a few days but now I'm better. And many thanks to Jeanne and Christine who came and visited me while I was miserable and out of it. It made me feel much better!
I dyed my hair. It is sort of dark aubern, but lots of different colors in different places. it took an hour to do, using two boxes of color, and thanks again to Jeanne and Christine and Zon who were willing to spend an hour smearing goop in my hair, it looks lovely.
It is beautiful today, and I sat out in the sun for two hours this afternoon. don't worry, I was wearing SPF 50! I was supposed to be reading my psyc text, but I didn't get much done.
I only have six weeks of school left, and I'm glad, because I'm getting tired of classes. now just finals and big papers and projects to worry about. I'm going to have a stressful month.
Katie is taking me to the Olive Garden for my birthday tomorrow! and we're getting dressed up! I'm so excited!
have a good weekend, and remember to wear sunscreen!
Love,
Megan
