Love Is All Around Us....And So the Feeling Grows...

Esther Little, who I have grown up with and consider to be another sister, basically, got engaged tonight! Ben Bratton is the most blessed guy in the world to be able to call her his fiance! I am so happy for both of them, because they are a really great couple, and they are truly awesome together-I can see how God placed them together.

He was so sweet in making her proposal special-from showing her the house he is building for their life together to flying in her family to help celebrate the special day, he had it covered. No wonder she was in tears all night-she was so happy! And, it doesn't hurt to have your prince charming ask for your hand in marriage by adorning it with a beautiful engagement ring, which is what she said he has done. =) YAY!

I could not be any happier for her-it is such an exciting feeling to think that someone has taken that huge step in asking you to be the person they can love for the rest of their time on this earth. It makes you feel so special-knowing they planned it out and made a big deal in making you have a memorable and unique moment that is just for the two of you. But more importantly, it is really amazing to realize that you have a strong foundation in your relationship through God, and it is wonderful when He has led you to that point. I am SO happy that they are engaged, and they want to get married in MAY! Whew!

Gotta go to bed now...just wanted to make sure it got documented- December 19, 2006-Esther got engaged!
Love,
Meghan

ps-Also, Roxi Veal found out that she and her husband are pregnant! how exciting has today turned out to be!!?? YAY!

oooohhh...exámenes finales....

Este tiempo, próximo año, no necesitaré a estudiar para los exámenes finales. Yo puedo tener un trabajo y ganaré dinero en lugar de mis exámenes. Para ahora, tengo un examen de literatura española en la mañana. No quiero a estudiar. Por eso, estoy aquí…con blogger y sin mis libros-(¡muy malo, Meghan!) Está tiempo a volver a mis notas y libros otra vez. ¡Hasta luego!

¿No comprende? Está bien....



This time, next year, I won't need to study for final exams. I can have a job and earn money instead of exams. For now, I have an Spanish Literature exam in the morning. I don't want to study. Therefore, I'm here...with blogger, and without my books-(very bad, Meghan!) It's time to return to my notes and books again. Until Later!



[I didn't wanna write anything toooo long...just enough to get the point across. Meghan+Finals+Foreign Language= Procrastination]

angry, annoyed, bent out of shape, boiling, burned up.....

Sometimes people make me "teed off." At least that was one alternative for angry that I found when I went to thesaurus.com. I was ANGRY tonight, but that didn't seem like a strong enough word. I couldn't find a strong enough one on that page either, but it made me less angry to laugh at some of the alternative words they chose.

Check it out.

It might be deadly...

I am a firm believer that I have had senioritus since I was about a junior or so in high school, but it has NEVER tested me before as much as it has this semester. It's AWFUL. I just want to be done. At the same time, I realize that I am never going to attend another football game as a student, I will never be a part of another rush as an active sorority sister, I will never try out for a Rho Chi position again, and I will never have another "Thanksgiving Break," "Christmas Break," or "Spring/Fall Breaks" like I have had (or will have).

For some reason, none of that seems that sad to me right now, and I think it's because I am still here. When next year comes around and I need to call to find out the code to get into the Gamma Phi Beta house, or I am working instead of rushing girls, or I am working instead of having a break, or I am attending GT football games with Tom and wishing we were at UGA (haha), I think it is really going to hit me that it's all gone and never coming back.

But right now, so help me, I can't WAIT for finals to end, for Christmas Break, for hanging out, and for my last semester of college. Even though that means the career search-hopefully at Zoo Atlanta- and even though it means paying my own way in the world, I will NEVER have to take a test again or write another paper...at least not like I do now. And THAT is awesome.

Last night I was up till 5:30AM working on a Spanish Lit paper that I started researching to write about 5 days ago. I had met with my teacher, I had gone to the library, I had looked up sources online...and used an online translator a little to understand some of it. And I was still up trying to write it. I got up at 9 to finish it, and I finally got it done and turned in. Hallelujah! I am SO ready to never have nights like that again. Next semester I am taking Spanish Culture and Literature, which is my the only thing standing in between me and my minor at the moment. (there is a small problem with positioning of one of the Spanish courses I took this summer, but I plan to have that fixed pronto). I can't say that Spanish Lit was one of my favorite courses to take for my minor, but the good thing about it is that it's pretty much over. I have the final, which is going to be horrible, but then I'm out like a light...unless I get a C- or below in the class, which shouldn't happen. I am not sure what I have right now in there, but I am pretty sure it's a B or more.

Tomorrow we have a paper due in my Social Psych class, and I have to say that I am REALLY grateful that I had an awesome group for that lab. I don't usually have a high opinion of group work, but in this case, it was awesome! I also have an extra credit paper due in my drama class as well as a million journal entrys due. Other than that kind of stuff, this is the best elective I've ever taken at UGA. It's awesome.

Next semester I plan to take a 4-hour Psych course (as of now: Developmental Psychology Lecutre+Lab) as well as the 3-hour Spanish Culture and Literature course. I will also continue to do Psychology research (Psych4800)- this time for 6 hours a week instead of 9- for 2 hours of credit. That will total to 9 hours, which is what I need to graduate. I hope to spend my extra time (because that is WAY less hours than I normally have for school) volunteering with different groups in the area that help animals. I also want to get the ball rolling for wedding planning, which has pretty much been at a standstill thanks to school.

I am VERY tired, so I need to go to sleep now. Just think-Wednesday, December 6, 2006-I am going to my last classes of the second to last semester of any education that I will ever receive. YAY!!!! In my acting class, we get to do fun improv games and to eat and drink if we bring stuff in. AWESOME. Acting is the best elective at UGA-so fun. Hands down--the best.

Alright, sleeping for real now. G'night!!
Love,
Megs
