"the buffalo is the largest of the ass mammals"

i started off my MEA with a visit to concordia (in moorhead). i met with my roomate whittney who lived in park region, and impressed my mom with her dorm. we talked a little about school and such and she too had actually considered a major in psychology, but ended up choosing art. she showed me her psych textbook and hinted that the professor (dr. olson) was "good looking" or in her words "hot". this would later be confirmed. that night we actually went to a jazz band concert and i heard some familiar songs like night train, benny goodman, and saint thomas. they were really good and had a lot of improv (?) solos which were realy cool, especially this one drum solo that was like ten minutes long. he was amazing! then we went back to the dorm and the roomates worked on their papers and i relaxed a while. that night was pretty interesting when some friends came by. the title was a quote from on of sarah's textbooks (she studies in equine science), and whitney's roomate form little falls just kept making fun of it. we shared funny stories and talked about the guys they knew and as things got more interesting they mentioned "oh megan will have some stories to tell when she gets home" this is true.

the next day i had breakfast, and my mom met with me as josh led us on a tour especially to all the dorms. josh (a senior) by the way was also pretty good looking, just in case you wanted to know. i went to a freshman english class and then to a psychology one and after met the famously new dr olson, he was nice.
NDSU the next day-after i was highly discouraged. we got lost just trying to leave it sucked and it was cold! at least after three hours of walking we evened it out with three of driving. then AO and i went to b-dubs and even though our waitress didn't show up the food was great! after dinner there i met my family with aunt, uncle, and cousin at blask bear. haley really wanted me to go swimming with her at the suites so being the great cousin i am i did and came home exhausted.

after that day my mom and i did some shopping and errands the next morning and then i soon had to go to work. after my oh so long two hour shift i met AO and badge at the movie store and we decided on my house for the movie. at my house though it was tori, AO and i. we enjoyed the movie sweet 16 which should not be rated PG and had come jones soda.

yesterday i worked for a whoping three hours and then amanda and i made the journey to little falls- "the city of lights". to erin's house. there we watched erin and megHan cook for a few hours and had a lot of good laughs. then we had a very fancy dinner in the dining room and set off to visit moliters haunted acres. we began with a hay ride where people would jump out of little hiding spots and onto the hay ride pacing back and forth staring us down. ther were even TWO guys with chainsaws! they weren't real but they would saw at the benches and you could feel the vibration of the chain. they even had a scene that portrayed the ring! then after the hayride we went into the mine shafte and then like 5 other houses and by the end our arms were sore and our throats! we went back to erins with jsut enough time to watch tristen and isolde a heartbreaking tale that as friends we were able to make fun of constantly.

wow i love MEA! hope everyone else had a great time too!

wacky wednesday!

so to clarify some things. you may or most likley did not see me running through the halls today. (probably cause i was soo fast!) i did this for a reason seeing as while running it was impossible to be late for anything. i came to school well equipped with tennis shoes and some red bull to keep me going. i was supposed to do something that breaks an unspoken rule (norm), and see what people whould say to me good or bad. in all honesty it was actually kind of fun! weaving through people was at times dificult, but i covered a lot of distance in short times.

other than my own actions i observed some other non-sociology project related "norm violations". my sixth hour is sociology, the room that generally overlooks the exit to the senior lot. i often use the window to watch people play football or wave at us while carlson is talking. today was unilke any others. first of all i was severly distracted by the huge snow storm! not kidding it was swirling around in tornado-like circles. then i guess i should have seen what was coming next. the sixth hour senior guys muscled up enough courage to be stupid together! and without their knowing my entertainment. they all took off their shirts while the snowstorm was at full capacity, and ran around the senior lot. why you ask, because it was wacky wednesday! boy i can't wait to see what's in store for friday the thirteenth!

My cat is better than your cat

this is true, i may even go as far to say that my cat is better than your dog and certainly your fish, rabbit, hamdter, tutrle, ect. My cat can fetch! like no other i will have you know! last night i found Mittens ever elusive "purple ball", yep that would be the one she plays fetch with. once she see's me pick up the ball she makes her questioning meow. translation: are you really gonna throw that or are you just messin with me? then i throw it and she answers: oh yes! you did god bless you! well something like that. seconds later she brings it up the stairs and makes the bragging meow. she can't resist it, and has even been known to jump through the railing below just to land on top of it. she may not be friendly to strangers, but she can fetch.

to add to my new bragging right of "my cat can fetch" i have my newest jelous item. ta da da dA! the SIDEKICK! the little one! OMG! not mine (the jealous part) my dads! eww. i love it though. so far i've added myself as a contact, taken funny pics (the screen is HUGE), played solitare, made a word document, called myself, and i can really see a good future for the two of us. we'll get along well as long as i can find that pointer pen thingy. it's beautiful technology, more beautiful than a big screen, maybe not a theatre, but a hell of a lot better than getting hit in the head with a brick. i guess you could say that im pretty optomistic.

three toilets, two toilets, ONE toilet

so friday i HAD to be at the football game, at least we won. when i got home my mom told me she bought me a little dresser for college.....? i think that ther're finally letting this CLC idea go.

on saturday almost all day felt like sunday for some reason. in the morning my mom and i met valerie and her three kids at kiwanis park to finish my outdoor pics. overall it was an enjoyable experience, with three kids under the age of twelve assisting me in taking my pictures there was never a dull moment. if i had a "fake" smile cameron would come over and "do his thing" aka belch really loudly! i think the first time it scared the crap out of my mom, she toatally didn't see it coming. then julia would help me with my hair and thought of a pose for me to do on the bridge too. i think the kids actually had a good time just being at the park. then we took a few and my house and called it a day, for pic's that is. awile later we headed to the lovely city of elmdale, don't worry you probably have never heard of it. my moms side is from royalton so elmdale is close (they have a community center we've used before). it was my aunt and uncles 25th anniv, and they were well equipped with cozies/huggies/holders for our beverages that had the following printed on them: to have and to hold and to keep your beer cold dennis and janice 25th anniversary. then as we left with our souvineers they guarenteed us that we could take them to any party we wanted, and claim it was just yesterday.

today i was supposed to babysit at saint francis, but only stayed to help out at sunday school for awhile, cause no one stayed later. so we left earlier and heather and i just talked by our cars for awhile about how we both had grad pics the day before. then i had to work at 12:30 with this girl who has worked there for like 2 months and i had never worked with. bad part of work: i got chlorine on my favorite shirt cause this comet bottel was broken and leaked in the carrier, so i cleaned it up and my shirt has pink marks. good part: i had an open check on my screen and we couldn't get rid of it so jess rang up an ice cream then voided it. she forgot to tell the cooks so they made me ice cream..."well you might as well eat it" yessss! after work my other aunt and uncle came over to pick up a toilet. yes a toilet. you would know if you've been to my house. we used to have three toilets in our garage (one for each of us-it was from one of the houses my dad worked on), but one was put in the groomers shed, and the other was for my aunt and uncle. now we are down to one. so much for that idea of planting flowers in them and putting them at the end of the driveway. it's just silly with only one!
