Burned out.

I’m burned out. This weekend began for me on Thursday, as I waited in choking anticipation for Alex, my roommate from last year to show up. She finally did, at 1am. Obviously, I didn’t get to bed until 3. It was great. Well, until I got to school of course. Lesson learned: Megan cannot function on 3 hours of sleep.

Currently I am:

Listening – Garden Walls by Mindy Gledhill. One of my absolute favorites.

Loving – being with my roommates and having Alex in the same state as me again.

Thinking – deciding whether or not to go to the 6am yoga class in the morning.
Wanting – more vegetables. But I want someone to cook them for me.

Needing – someone to play with my hair. It’s been too long.

RAK – doing the dishes tomorrow! (I think they’re multiplying)

Other items of note this weekend:

o Meeting Randy from Kid History at Target. He’s a definite celebrity in my mind.

oGoing to the “stake dance” on Friday – seeing all the couples on blind dates, having a great time with mine, and getting dressed up. It’s always a fun deal :)

o Going to lunch and yogurtland on Saturday. I’m slightly addicted to yogurtland. It’s bad.

o Getting the daylights scared out of me by two very sneaky roommates who were hiding under my bad and in my closet. (nice one guys, didn’t even see that one coming)

o Going to the BYU vs. Pepperdine basketball game! WE WON! Hooray!

o Hiking the Y on a spur of the whim. Then, shoe sledding back down over all the snow. Scary and SO fun!

o Staying up too late with roommates playing crazy card games and talking about boys. Haha, the stresses of a college girl’s life.

o An amazing Sunday. All the lessons and talks were fantastic! My ward is seriously the greatest.

Welp, this finishes up my third post for February! Stay tuned – I’m sure I’ll have something to write about for this Tuesday… And now you're interested ;) hahaha

Feb post #2

Today I got some doses of reality. Let's take a look, shall we?

#1: The first dose came from Mission Prep, which is a class I happen to love. We talked about "Personal Radiation" in class. Mainly that everyone has an influence that permeates and affects others.

"Man's unconscious influence is the silent, subtle radiation of personality - the affect of his words and actions on others...every man has an atmosphere which is affecting every other man...and by these qualities he will constantly affect the world." - David O. McKay

What a beautiful statement. And and alarming one. Every action you make is being watched by someone else, and every action makes a difference. Life is a state of radiation and absorption. What are you giving off?

Alright, that was dose of reality #1. Number 2 was less uplifting.

#2: you will be alone sometimes. I found myself with an hour to kill in-between classes when I wasn't expecting to be on campus. I bought me some lunch and then worked on a paper for english. While sitting alone at a table. I don't know what about that makes me feel so insecure.

You look around and realize that there are people sitting around you who are just as alone as you are, but all you really focus on are the groups of people at the table. Is it just me, or do they seem larger when you're by yourself? I think you only focus on them because they're the ones making all the ruckus. You feel annoyed at them for making so much noise during your quiet time, while still wishing you were joining in the din of laughter.

Bet you weren't expecting to read that, were you? Hahaha, don't worry. I'm not bitter or anything. It's a fact of life that you will be alone sometimes. For me, this happened to be between 2 and 3pm in the Wilkinson center today. It's ok, really.

#3: although there are lonely times, there are friend times, and hopefully those outweigh the solitary times. I got to reunite with 2 absolutely amazing girls yesterday and today for different lunch dates. It was wonderful! One of my favorite things is getting to know how people see the world, what they feel in specific situations, and what they're doing in their life. Mostly, I just love to listen. People have great stories to tell if you only tune out the noise and focus on them.

#4: My last dose of reality was at 7pm tonight when I realized that there were only 30 hours separating the reuniting of two best friends. Do you think I'm going to get ANY sleep tonight? I doubt it, although I hope so - because I sure won't be getting any tomorrow!

#5: I realized that I missed Modern Family SO much. I'm so glad that it was on again tonight.

Peace out!
