productive.

There's a feeling a had last night when I was in my room. It was an odd feeling.

It was a feeling of panic, but a good panic?

Any work I had to get done for today was finished. I read for my English class tomorrow. I even started to work on my History study guide for next week.

Heck my agenda is all written out for this week.

That panic feeling I had was one of what else needs to be done? Can this productive me continue?

What has gotten into me?

Now I'm sitting in the PC office working on improving some things and getting caught up on my Marketing work.

I like this. I like this a lot.

I have a few things due within the next week before I go to NACA that I want to get going on before I leave.

This week is going to be a good week. I can feel it.

:)

update.

1. I'm pumped for The Rocky Horror Glee Show on Tuesday!

2. I'm going to be Hermione Granger for Halloween.

3. I'm going to the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) Conference in about two weeks. Please read the blog me and my fellow delegates are writing here.

4. I bought a new Owl necklace today. I think I'm obsessed.

5. I carved a little pumpkin that I think was quite fun today. I don't have a picture sadly, but it was cute, #trust.

6. I can't wait to go to New Hampshire for Halloween next weekend. I'm going to my friend's house for a Harry Potter weekend. All 6 HP movies in two days. It's going to be awesome. This may or may not be why I'm going to be Hermione for Halloween :)

7. I hope everyones October is going well. Can't believe November is going to be here in no time

silly rant.

I sit in the lounge thinking and thinking about this silly paper I'm writing for my English class. An english class that will impact my future career little to none. While I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my life yet I do know writing papers about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and The Wanderer will not be of any help in the Mathematics field.

I'm procrastinating.

It's been really bad lately. I honestly thought I was going to get ahead on this paper last night and I sat at my desk on facebook and twitter almost the whole night.

I also haven't blogged in a while.

I've been procrastinating on that too.

I've been busy, but it's the same busy that has always been.

Nothings changed.

I think the stress is putting me in a funk. I hate funks.

I just wanted to get that out there.

Meghan is in a funk and needs tips on procrastination killing techniques.

srsly.

I need to kick it's butt here.

Thanks for that little rant, now back to my classical music and my paper (which isn't even that long)

silly procrastination.

silly paper.

silly writing requirement.

silly rant.

why I've been busy

we all know I moved back to school two weeks before classes began, right?

right.

I'm here today to sum up the bulk of what has been going on.

1) I had a little training and worked 2 one day orientations.

2) I worked various activities for Welcome Week. Welcome Week is the week before classes start, or the time from when new students and old move to campus. programs, events, a couple trips, some fun stuff is planned for students to hang out meet new people, get to know the campus, all that fun stuff. It's mostly for the freshmen, but upperclassmen could have attended too.

3) I started classes.

2 classes a day. every day. 5 days a week.

start at either 9:30 or 10:10 and end either 12:15 or 12:05.

not bad but wait.

4) started tutoring Math again.

generally in the mornings at 8. who's smart idea was that?? oh mine...

5) jumped right into my role as Marketing Director of PC by planning out our table for the involvement fair.

I had help, but I was still all over the place having just ended the orientation/welcome week mode.

6) meetings for said marketing position occur monday afternoons, tuesday nights, and wednesday nights on top of working events at other times.

7) arranging a time to swap the car with my brother so I can have it on campus. it's settled and here. then him deciding he might want it back (resolution to this issue still in the works)

8) homework needs to eventually get done (procrastination hits hard here)

9) I like to have some semblance of a social life.

ie. I drove my roommates and me into Boston for collegefest (maybe I'll tell you about that later).

10) and finally trying to not eat a ton of bad food and have balanced meals has been a major fail. but do you blame me?

so I have just been going from one place to another, the last month (no idea how it's been a month already..)

I'm ready to go home this weekend for a little birthday celebration for my mom. I'm tired and have been reliant on coffee (not good).

BUT

I'm still optimistic this year is going to be a good one. I'm just trying to get into the swing of things and get a rhythm going.

please love me through it. I need it :/

dilemma over.

I would just like to inform you, my lovely readers, that there is no longer a "mockingjay dilemma"

thanks to the kindness of one of my Orientation Leader friends who had to take a trip to target for windshield wipers (of all things)...

I have Mockingjay in my possession :)

this greatly thrills me and any time I am not working will be spent reading.

I'm only on ch. 6 as of this moment. I wasn't able to get it until later in the afternoon, plus I had to get up early this morning for the last orientation session of the summer, thus could not read all night.

so now i'm itching to jump on my bed and start going to town on this lovely book that i'm loving so far.

when I finish, I will tweet/email with reactions!

mockingjay dilemma.

Hi friends.

I know it's been a long time again. It happens every once in a while.

so to the reason for this post. well one of the two reasons.

I have a Mockingjay dilemma.

this kind of leads to reason #2 for this post.

I'm back in my dorm and working August Orientation :) the room is huge. I'll post pictures soon.

so I don't have my car because my older brother still has it. I'm working until 5ish tomorrow. I don't know what my mailbox number is.

I can't pick up my copy of Mockingjay tomorrow :(

This makes me so sad.

I'm going out with my friend on friday so I might have to wait until then.

the problem is, I can't freaking wait that long!!

guess I'll just have to wait.

until then...

NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!

thank you.

two weeks.

i don't think there's ever been a summer that has flown by as fast as this summer has. I'm moving back to school on the 20th, two weeks from today, and i can't even wait!

i haven't really been doing much during my time off. I've babysat a couple times, tutored a little bit, have been to the movies a few times, hung out with some friends quite a bit, and done a lot of nothing.

i can't wait to be back working the august orientation and welcome week.

i miss having a hectic schedule and meeting all kinds of people.

i miss my red polo :/

i miss living in the dorms.

i miss random dance parties... with other people.

i miss tutoring derivatives.

i miss PC.

i miss being near my college friends.

i even miss going to class.

so in two weeks i'll move into my triple on campus and will be back to the regular routine. while the nice month and a half has been relaxing, i am recharged and ready to go.

for now i'm just counting down the days :)

my summer picks

I've had a lot of free time the last month so I've been reading and listening to music a lot =)

I thought I'd make a list of my summer picks!

Some of the music I've been listening to has been all over the place.

I'm loving Sky Sailing.

If it sounds familiar to you when you listen to it, that's because it's actually the man behind Owl City: Adam Young.

I love the new sound to it but it's actually a collection of songs he worked on before Owl City came to be.

suggested listening: Brielle, A Little Opera Goes A Long Way, Sailboats, Alaska

I'm also loving Lights.

She just released an acoustic-EP that I'm kind of loving! The first songs I heard from her have a very electronic sound to them but I love the acoustic versions now!

suggested acoustic listening: Saviour, River, February Air

I also have a "Summer 2010" playlist that I've been listening to on repeat for the last few weeks and I keep adding to it. Some of these songs include:

Ridin' Solo -Jason Derulo

If We Ever Meet Again (feat. Katy Perry) -Timbaland

Cooler Than Me -Mike Posner

Dynamite -Taio Cruz

I Like It -Enrique Iglesias

Airplanes (feat. Hayley Williams) -B.o.B

Billionaire (feat. Bruno Mars) -Travie McCoy

(basically songs that are on the radio, ha)

Yup, I have quite the collection of tunage. Summer puts me in the mood for songs that make me dance :)

My reading selections include:

Shiver

and Linger

by: Maggie Stiefvater

Sisters Red

by: Jackson Pearce

and I'm reading Charlie St. Cloud right now so we'll see if it's going to be one of my picks!

speaking of I saw this today:

and can I just say

ZEfron won my heart over again :)

a blog about that movie. (and what's happening)

I'll say it.

That movie was bomb.

Like totes met my expectations bomb.

If I wasn't Team Edward before,

I am more so now.

Plans are in place to see it 2 more times

(with more probably in my future).

My wallet is not going to like me much.

But I'm on summer vacation,

so it's okay =)

What's your favorite part?

In other news...

I've been MIA for like ever.

So I'm curious...

What are your--

Thoughts?

Summer plans?

Current Events?

Troubles?

Share it with me. I've missed my bloggy blog buddies.

my summer so far

a month. one month.

i've been on summer break for a month and what a month it has been.

story time:

I moved out of my dorm room on May 11th. I spent the next few days that week just kind of hanging around, cleaning my room and unpacking some stuff.

I had applied at Barnes and Noble the weekend before because I don't have a job for the summer. well I was sitting in my room that friday the 14th and got a phone call. I didn't recognize the phone number so i thought oh maybe it's B&N. It wasn't, but it was something even better.

I'm not sure if I ever said this on the blog, but I applied to be an Orientation Leader at my college. I didn't end up getting the position, I was an alternate.

Guess what that phone call was...

Yeah I'm an Orientation Leader =D

my supervisor told me a bunch of information about how things were going to end up. they had someone who could no longer take the position and I was the first alternate!

move in for the OLs was that Monday. I had a little less than a week of regular summer vacation.

this past month has been a blur and one of the greatest experiences of my life.

we had training for 2 and a half weeks, a couple days of transfer orientations and we just had our third session of first year students.

there are 3 more sessions left and i have to say i almost wish there was more.

I'm having such an amazing time introducing these students to the ins and outs of a college I love and owe the best days of my life so far to.

there's a lack of sleep, sometimes there are difficult students, sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get some of them to talk, and not all schedules work out as nicely as we hope.

I wouldn't trade any of it.

I've gained so much more confidence in my abilities to be a leader and in my confidence in myself. I doubted myself in the beginning and I was very worried about the first session.

If you told any of the students I've worked with so far, I don't know if they'd believe you.

I've made new friends and I've learned a lot about my campus.

we move out on June 24th and I have all of July and most of August as a break until welcome week at the end of August

I don't know what I'm going to do until then.

all I know right now is,

I love my summer job.

=)
