Zelda

Hey there friends!
For those of yall who grew up loving Zelda, as most of us did, you should see this trailer.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB89-9X6YS0.

Tom sent the link to me in a gmail, and I was so excited at first...but he didn't sound super excited about it, which should have told me something. I haven't talked to him about it yet, but basically it looked to me like the original Chronicles of Narnia movies....just low budget and stuff. But still, I know I will see it because...well because I love the Zelda games, even if I am just watching ppl play them instead of playing them myself. Plus, Link has always been the cutest fictional character in my opinion. WOW that sounded wrong because: A) he is fictional, and B) I have a boyfriend, yet am talking about a character in a game. Ok. Go check out the link to see....Link. OMG I am cheesy.
Love,
Meghan

As Promised

...an Update!
Alrighty, the week before spring break was such a stressful week that going to Savannah was just what the doctor ordered. Claire and I took off on Monday to the oldest city in Georgia...and also probably Georgia's most beautiful city, and we had the most chilled out week. Every night we went out to eat with Nana, my mom's mom, and then Claire and I watched a movie at Nana's house and read magazines and hung out. No going out for crazy nights....We're not crazy….welll….not THAT kind of crazy-we are goofy-crazy, and I'm not old enough to even set foot in any bar anyway. I couldn't even go into Wet Willie's downtown in the middle of the afternoon because of a new city ordinance, so Claire had to get me a Weak Willie (the only virgin drink in the place). It was right before St. Patrick’s Day, and the water was dyed green in all the fountains around Savannah. We went all over the city, went to River St., went to Forsyth Park, went to eat at Sweet Potatoes, Carey Hilliard's, and JalapeƱos. We went to Tybee Island but only stayed for about an hour on the beach, and we went to Wilmington Island to see Mema and to visit with Payton and Jessica. Well, we went to see everyone, but those were the three we saw, and it was a lot of fun. =) Payton kept saying he was going to 'fire' everyone. At any moment he might say, "SCRAM! You're fired! Pack your bags! I'm calling a cab!" And later when I told him that I was around first so I was higher on Mema's list, he said "No you aren't! I'm erasing you off the list!" I told him he couldn't and he said, "Yeah I can! I work with God!" It cracked us all up-I couldn't even respond to him because I was laughing so hard. He is about 5 yrs old, and he is so funny.


When I returned home, I was busy non-stop, right down to the time I left. I babysat, went to Mandy's baby shower, visited with Tom's family, hung out with friends, and visited with April. It was good to do all of those things, but I was worn out when I returned to school, and felt like I needed a week long nap. lol Then my car broke down this week, and people have been so phenomenal taking me around, but I hate bumming rides all the time. The dealer couldn't get it to screw-up for them the way it did for me, so they couldn't fix it, and I got it back today free of charge, but not fixed. I'm really happy that tomorrow is Friday! I am going to go home so that I can take care of the animals while mom and dad are in Savannah for Dad's medical conference. While there, I am going to have some Covington ppl over to hang out. Saturday evening I am headed back to Athens because I have to go to a Rho Chi meeting at 9AM on Sunday, and I have to babysit at 5:30 on Sunday....I really don't ever leave a lot of time unscheduled, do I?
Alrighty...Spanish Homework!
Love,
Meghan

Ps-there are pics from all of Spring Break below, from babysitting (Yes, I did wear a crown with Abby-I was the “queen”) to the park with Tyler and Madeline to Tom and Tyler at the lake to Savannah with Claire! We have some goofy pictures in there. =) And, no, it’s not an engagement ring on my finger-it’s a promise ring Tom gave me!

I will update...

...one of these days, but I am too busy and stressed to give a good life summary right now. Savannah was fun. Now it's back to reality. In the meantime, let's all have a gander at a quote from my oh so obviously at Tech boyfriend, "Obviously, progress is slow (if I remember correctly, Rome wasn't built in a day and I often compare my website to that city - just ask around)." I cracked up when I read that. =) If you aren't laughing, maybe you just don't know Tom. He updates once every month and a half or so, and his updates are about technical updates he wants to make. And he's funny anyway. Just laugh.
Alright, gotta go to class.
Love,
Meghan
ps-thanks to Melissa, Jessica, Lee, Claire, and whoever else ends up giving me a ride while my car is in the shop. And to all the ppl who have tried to chill me out on the stress level lately. Yall are life-savers!

Once Upon a Time...

There was a girl named Meghan. She got into her first choice University, joined her favorite sorority, and joined a million other things as well. She chose psychology as her major, which is highly ironic because she went psycho on the eve of the last day of classes before spring break when she had a total brain meltdown from having TOO FREAKING MUCH going on in her life in and outside of classes. Meghan was utterly useless to the world after that because her brain went on a permanent vacation when it refused to keep up with her schedule anymore. The only cure was to remove her entirely from her usual schedule by sending her away with a girlfriend to another city for several days on Spring Break. So she went to Savannah in hopes that she would recover. The result? Only time will tell. The end.


This is based on a true story. (unfortunately)

Savannah, Spring Break, Savannah again?

















































Howdy yall!
Formal with Theta Xi was SUPER fun!! I don't have long to type about it because I have to go to a Spanish Oral Exam, but I had to let yall know that I loved it. Any weekend that Theta Xi wants to sweep me off to some gorgeous location, pay for everything, and have a dance is fine with me! =) After the formal on Saturday night, a group of us went downtown to River Street to hang out. We decided to get a picture and as a joke from our posed position on the fake toyboat(intended for little kids), we all yelled "Real World-Savannah!" when the picture was taken. So, Tom photoshopped it as a joke, and I wanted yall to see it. =) In that picture are Kami, Me, Blake, Jennifer, Tom, Michael, Justin, Sophe. That comprised two rooms at the hotel-Jennifer, Sophe, and I were all UGA Gamma Phi's rooming with Kami, and Alpha Z Delta at GT. She was super fun; we called her "Kamilicious." And all the guys were our dates and roomed together.

On Friday I will be done with classes for a while because Spring Break will FINALLY be here. I cannot wait! Claire Peters and I are thinking of heading to Savannah for that week because Tom will be in class for me, and she has no other plans. =) Hopefully it will be a great week! I think it is bound to be great simply because we aren't in class, but we will see.

Ok, off to take my Spanish Oral Exam. PLEASE pray for me!
Love,
Meghan

ps. Max, Jordan's cat that we got when I was two, had to be put down over the weekend because he has been barely hanging on for the last few months. It's super hard to think about him dying, but he was a member of the family, so I thought he deserved some recognition. I had been taking care of him for a long time, and it's really tough to think about never seeing him again.
