I love life....

I immensely like the people in my life and even love some of them.

I even greatly admire some of the people that only entered my life for a few minutes.

Today I woke up at 7am, showered, went to breakfast, registration, came back till 10 and took a nap, went back where everyone had left but we met up with some ppl from SARB and spent the day working with them at the Olympic Village making magnets and masks. I made 5 magnets throughout the day. Up on the hill near the baseball diamond the wind chill dropped the high temp of the day of 47 to probably 30 or less. We were out there from 10am till 2:45pm. The athletes were so happy for the most part and so eager to paint, glue, glitter, their magnets and masks. They were always smiling. Eventually it was too cold to stay around so we moved our table to the Field House where we stayed, still cold, till 4:30pm. I got two massages, the first one wasn't very good but the second was decent. Quite nice to live on a campus with PT students who need to practice. Made some more magnets, came back to the dorms, dropped our blankets and arts off, went to dinner which was... laugh out loud, grab ur stomach, or cover your mouth for fear something might spew out hilarious! For 1 1/2 hours 8 of us laughed, cried and almost choked. Kate made a nice concoction out of all our leftovers which we then put into the microwave and tried to eat! omg. We have pictures too. Everyone was going senial from being out in the cold so Kara was saying stuff like, "u whore, u stole my drink" and oh man I can't even remember all the other stuff. We were definitely being annoyingly loud but whatever, it was too funny to keep to ourselves. By the end we all chose a line from a movie to use when we answer the phone *wink* so u'll have to wait till I with them again and I answer the phone. On the way back we ran into Dave "kara, u kind of hit my balls, I have to sit down for a bit." ooops. haha did a good job last nite at Open Mic tho. Even on the way back to the dorm we were falling over (literally) laughing. *breathhhhh* I have to write this paper now... ugh. I dunno how my concentration level will hold up. I am writing this entry to try and refocus my chi. I have no idea what the heck I am saying anymore, what can I say? I'm high on life! I'm also finally warm. I need to take some pict of the trees around here cuz it is so nice and I have 7 pict to use up. woooh buddy, today, as cold as it was... was quite enjoyable. I think talking on the phone, laughing at dinner and getting a massage were the highlights, and in that order. Hokay, seriously now... gotta work. Busy busy week ahead of me, and it is homecoming... get to see the parents this weekend.

So much for writing that paper before 4pm... I ended up going to the mall in Butler with Kara and kate and we stayed there till 5ish. Browsed thru JCPenny where I got my new umbrella... I can spend HOURS (david w, li, tom and court know this too) in the jewelry dept and they also know that when shopping for clothes I will walk into the changing room with a pile of stuff and end up bying none of it. So that is what we did, went into my fav store NY and Co and again, walked into the changing room with a pile, walked out with nothin. Meandered around the rest of the mall, boguth 3/$5 Auntie Anne's wheat pretzels which we had to wait an extra 5 min for. Spent some good times in the Dollar Store, bought some random stuff I really didn't need. Came back for dinner, and sometime soon we are heading out for an hour to go see the Open Mic at Rocky's Grill, then back here to work on my paper. hmph.

Have u ever caught urself smiling at the most ridiculous times and no one around you knows why ur smiling and that makes u smile even more?

It is 1pm and I have written a 2 page paper on my interview with Dr. Ryan, an honors write up for Pizza with the Proff, a scavenger hunt answers sheet, a summary for Healthfest, and now I am about to brainstorm for my essay of 5-7 pages for college writing... I am thinking of "how are culture's definitions of "madness" histrocially specific?/social norms?" But I was just preoccupied by a wasp taht flew into our room because the top window was open and that screen is not so good with staying shut, so I just spent 5 minutes coaxing the wasp to fly TOWARD the window and back out. I am quite sore today from yesturday's sprints, lifting on new machines then late night 45 min cardio. Only my legs are sore tho and I think that is from sprinting. My right shoulder is sore which is bad bc that means I was using it more than my left. grrr. I have a long to do list taped to the side of my computer, cuz that is the only way I will remember things. Rambling.. because I need a break from writing papers. I have to get this done by 4 tho because I know I will not get it done if I wait till after dinner. Sheeesh! My door keeps banging bc of the wind and it gets me all jumpy because I think someone is knocking. It is a Showcase Saturday here so there are tons of students and parents here walking around intour groups... funny how I was doing that just a lil more than a year ago. U see a campus in entirely a different light when u are here for a while... like I remember thinking when I first saw SRU, no wayyy am I going here... and now I love it. I didn't like the look of the dorm rooms when I first saw them but I look around my room and the whole "seemingly small space" is perfect for what we need it to be. There could just be a few more plugs around but that is ok. Adjusting to living with someone wasn't so bad either... or maybe that is because we get along so well. Hokay... I really should get working again.

"We're going to try a new fad called Jogging (pronounced Yogging) or maybe it is jogging (pronounced Hogging) I don't know if it is a hard or soft J, and I guess you just keep running for extended periods of time..."

When Meghan was born, the Sun was in the Sign Aries, the Warrior. Meghan has a fierce capacity for loyalty, and expects it in return. Like a warrior, she prefers honesty and directness, without a lot of verbal frou-frou or psychobabble. There is an elevated need for shared experiences of extremity, adventure and intensity... A great intimate art for Meghan, one upon which the viability of all her relationships depends, is to make sure she is fighting about what she is actually angry about. There's a risk, in other words, of expressing the energies of sexual frustration in the form of what appears, for example, to be a stupidly inflated argument over politics. Still, Meghan brings many wonderful qualities to the table of love: the warrior's ability to make strong vows and keep them, a fierce devotion to truth, and a grand quality of aliveness.
---Warrior eh? I dunno about that. hehe.

Your name is... Meghan
Your kiss is... erotic
Your hugs are... to die for
Your eyes... sparkle like the stars
Your touch is... the only thing I desire
Your smell is... refreshing
Your smile is... hypnotizing
Your love is... eternal
-- dunno where she gets this silliness from either but she just IMed it to me, and uhhh I hope my touch is not the only thing she desires hahaha.

ohhhh my goodness.. so I have been running around alll gosh darn morning long and none of the places I had to be in consecutive order were even within 5 minutes of each other. So... this morning I walked (everytime I say walk, I mean speed walked or almost jogged) to breakfast with kara (5 min away) then to class (5 min away from breakfast), then to another class (8 min away from first class) then to a meeting (8 min away from second class) then to my appointment with my advisor Dr Ryan (another 7 minutes away from meeting) then back to the dorm to drop my books off (another 8 minutes from appt) then to Rocky's to grab lunch (at this time it was 2:30pm and Rocky's is 3 mintues from the dorm) then back to the dorm (3 minutes). So total that up and I did... 41 minutes of walking! I figure that's about 2. something miles. Unless the rain starts to come down in buckets by 5pm I have lax practice to go to that is a good 10 minute walk from my dorm. Heheh not to change subjects but I was just finishing my Orange shooter smoothie (oh man and I must say it HIT the spot!) and I was slurping pretty gosh darn loud and I remember how when I was little my parents always gave me that "shhh ur being rude" glare whenever I slurped the bottom of an almost but not quite empty drink. Ohhh man, good times. Right now I am partaking in some shredded wheats and peanut butter.. yea I know call me crazy but when ur a college dorm living student u tend to do crazy stuff, like TONIGHT! MIDNIGHT MADNESS soooo most of us are going to the Field House at 10pm and probably staying till 2am when it is over. Kara made a new friend last night walking abck from the Special Olympics meeting who plays basketball here, Jamar I think hsi name is, number 22, so I'm sure they will be looking for him. Then I will come back, sleep for a few hours, go to breakfast, and hopefully make it to my two classes... I am highly considering NOT going to my first class because all we're gonna do is watch the debate... but until I am actually sick which *knock on wood* hasn;t happend yet, I think I am the only college student/proff I know who hasn't gotten something yet, I should drag myself to class even if I am gonna sleep thru it. I should be able to stay awake for 2 hours. Then I am done for the week, but I have tons of work to do this weekend n Sunday I will be doing the Special Olympics ALL day so that cuts out homework time then. Whew.... that's all for now.

P.S. my advisor and I figured that if I take some classes like physics I and II over the summer at HACC than I might be able to complete my BS exercise science AND BA in psychology in 4 years AND fulfill my Pre PT requirements so I can apply for grad school after. This means at least 7 years of schooling. I am realizing more and more that it is very hard to do anyhting in this field without a PhD. So yea, looks like I can do this... now I gotta run it by the parents, talk to the psych dept and get my files changed. I will also have two advisors, one for each major. Then fitting honors courses in shouldn't be a problem either. Next semester looks like intro to psych, chem II/lab, college writing II (honors hopefully), applied anatomy, a liberal arts and an elective... I think. I want to get at least 18 credits in each semester tho.

P.P.S. Update 7pm: Well I dragged myself to laX practice which was good because only 10 of us showed but I realized that as well as I have improved on my cardio endurance, my sprinting sucks now. Not that I can't sprint but I am way too short of breath when I'm done. Funny how that works. I can run 3 miles straight in about 21-25 minutes depending on how tired I am, but I can't sprint in a 2 on 3 defense drill for 2 minutes. I'm gonna have to start changing up my program- still do 30-45 min worth of work but just include sprinting instead of holding a moderate pace. There is a mixer party next Thursday with the guys lax team that "now that ur part of the team u can drink with the big girls"... we'll see. 20 years old sounds so old, but when u finally realize who IS 20 or 23 even (like a lot of the team), they look just like the rest of us. hmph. Oh and there are 2 or 3 other girls on our team that are 4'11"! wooh! good stuff.

School is school, headaches are hourly and my family has been begging me to call them. (which I did accomplish last night) I really need to go workout today so hopefully after lunch I am headache free enough to do so, just an hour, I am only asking for an hour. Tonight there is a meeting for helping at the Special Olympics then tomorrow is another busy day with a SACA meeting, interview/meeting with my advisor, laX practice and house council meeting. I had a huge inspiration to choreograph a quite lengthy piece with different segments but of course I have no idea how the heck I am gonna be able to pull that off under the current circumstances. I think I might go for letting my hair grow out seeing how there is no way it is getting a haircut until Winter Break. 6 weeks till Thanksgiving, 9 weeks (I think) till Winter Break. It's getting pretty cool around here, cold even some days. I have decided to investigate in seeing a chiropractor. Swallowing my biases and give it a try. I have gone thru all my stamps already so I have to find out where I can go to buy more cuz I have some cards needing to be sent out. That's all going on the neighborhood of school. My vision is getting worse as we speak too.. and as Li pointed out, I have no one to for walks with here.. so we are trying to figure out how I can go visit them sometime at Penn State. hmph. Other than that, life's obstacles, I have to keep believing are there for a reason and that it'll all work out sooner or later... and I'll be around as u need me for as late as it will be.
