my NACA experience

Remember when I told you I was going to a conference called NACA?

well I went last weekend!

It was a lot of fun and I got a lot out of it :)

hey, instead of me telling you about it all here, since there was so much, why don't you check out the blog we all wrote on?

and if you want to just read my posts check them out here :)

emotions.

Just a thought for this Sunday afternoon.

I don't like to cry very much.

or really at all.

but sometimes it just comes out of nowhere, especially when I'm really tired.

I'm really tired this weekend.

Something that is always enforced, especially when I'm feeling this way, is how much I love my family.

They know how I am and what makes me upset. They also know what happens when I get upset. They really understand.

So I don't like to cry often, but sometimes I just feel it's necessary.

This weekend is one of those times.

All is well in my life.

Everyone is healthy, but sometimes things get thrown at you and you have to roll with the punches.

You have a great experience that brings out so many of the things you love to do. The thought of the future can be daunting and exciting.

I have so many great things going on in my life. I'm blessed to really have all the opportunities and people in it that I do have.

Love is overwhelming and a beautiful thing.

math mornings.

Math

While I love this subject so much

evidence here:

(at the Museum of Science in Boston from August)

see my excited face?

I don't know why I submit myself to tutoring at 8 in the morning.

the coffee is taking a while to kick in this morning.

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 :)
