insomnia

something i have been suffering from lately. it is really taking a toll on my life, physically and mentally. it started about a week before finals. i dont think i have fallen asleep before 5AM in about two weeks and also in that time frame i have pulled about three or four all nighters. not because i was up late studying or i have a lot on my mind. i mean its christmas break what could i be stressing about? i dont know but it has really been getting on my nerves lately. i just want to sleep for crying out loud! this not sleeping thing has really made me act weird. i have so many capitalization errors and typos in this blog and i dont even feel like fixing them. comment below if you have any at home sleep remedies or tips for helping my condition. it would be much appreciated.

but on a lighter note, i had a really great day with some friends from high school! i love all you girls so much.

preview of coming attractions

What a week! I have been super sick these past couple of days with bronchitis. It hasn't been great. Although I am super thankful for being able to relax and sleep all day, I am not thankful for coughing all the time and having achy muscles. Well, other than being sick these past couple of days, the next few weeks for me are going to be pretty eventful! starting thursday its none stop fun/torture for the next two weeks! thursday i have an exam in the afternoon, but then I'm going to see COLBIE CAILLATwith my roommate and best friend Kirsten, my favorite class of 2010 girl Liz and one of my BCF's, Deja!!!! but then after that its back to the books to study for my english final the next day! I am also excited for the new disney movie "the Princess and the Frog"!

Which I will be seeing with my favorite little girls and their wonderful mommy, SG, Rylee, and Anita McCart! After church on sunday i will be doing absolutely nothing but preparing for my Old Testament final on monday! that one is going to be tough. The good news is that after my OT final i should be having nothing but fun. Although leaving the dorm and living at home is going to be a downer, I am kind of excited about sleeping in my own bed and watching MTV. (the CSU campus doesn't offer that channel!). I am also very excited about reuniting with my class of '09! I can't wait to spend all my time with my two best friends kirsten and olivia, and my three boys jerrid, jacoby and nick! As Elle Woods says in one of my favorite movies, "It will be just like senior year, except for funner!"

So lately i have been trying something new. i would like to introduce you to my new friend, Jane. (Jane is the pink guitar I'm holding). This thanksgiving I spent most of my day at my grandma's house. My grandma has had two strokes in the past year. She is doing really great, she just needs help doing everyday things sometimes. Well she asked me to get her something out of her hall closet and what grabbed my attention was a guitar.

I grabbed it and asked her if i could play around with it and she was like sure. So for the next couple of hours I spent all my time on youtube learning how to play one of my favorite songs "Daughters" by John Mayer. I picked it up pretty quickly and I loved it. I was thinking to myself, this could be something I really get into.

the day after thanksgiving, we go back over to my grandma's house and my entire family is asking my questions about the guitar and if I will play something. (the only people at my grandmas house the night before were my grandma, her husband, my mom and myself.) Somehow the next day my entire family knew I was an aspiring guitar player. My mom thinks very highly of me and she took it upon her self to proceed to tell EVERYONE she talked to that night that i was teaching my self. Oh mother!

Well anyways, my aunt comes up to me and she is like I got you a present. A present for thanksgiving? sure! She whispers in my ear, "Its a pink guitar". WHAT!?!?!?! I was so excited!!!

so for the past couple of days I have been annoying people with my playing and coping with the newly found pain in my fingertips. OH and her name is Jane because one of my favorite albums by Maroon 5 is titled "Songs About Jane". So I guess it's time for me to finish writing here so I can go play some guitar.

the welcome mat

i don't know what made me want to start this blog and I'm sure that i will regret this decision in the future, but for now I'm here.

Hi, I'm Megan...

if you are wondering, this blog is untitled for a reason. a couple of hours ago i was reading some of my friends blogs and i just decided that i wanted one. well i spent most of my time thinking of a title. i have no idea what i want the title to be. If you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me. I'm, as one of my favorite artist says, stuck in a rut.

i plan on using this blog as sort of an open journal. a little website about my daily thoughts. i'm sure there will be many song lyrics, movie quotes, and bible verses. And don't forget about the grammar and spelling errors! there will be plenty of those.

For now i will be leaving you on the welcome mat, knock again later and maybe i will let you in. =)
