So I guess the last few posts have made me sound like my life is miserable.
Not so.
I'm just...
exhausted. burnt out. stressed. busy.
going slightly crazy.
missing the sunshine.
But I'm really doing ok.
So here are some other, happier, current favorite musical selections :)
I've talked about this before, but it's just on my mind again today.
This morning I remembered I hadn't gotten my hands (ears?) on the new Yellowcard album, When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes. So while I got ready, I let it download.
It's wonderful.
I mean, very similar to everything else they've ever done.
But that's what I love about it.
As I listened to the new songs, I was instantly full of nostalgia.
Yellowcard (along with Angels & Airwaves) kind of defined my high school experience.
Our group of friends loved these bands and it's basically all we listened to.
Thinking of specific songs led to specific memories and emotions.
It's fascinating what one album can do and the impact you can have.
Class is over, so I'm going to go listen to it again.

So maybe I want to be a bishop's wife.
Is it normal to wish for that?
Today the greatest bishopric in the world was released.
They are three of the most incredible men I've ever known, and I don't know if they'll ever understand how much they mean to me and how much of an influence they have had in my life.
Each of these men have taken us into their lives, into their homes, like we are their own children.
They have talked us through struggles, answered questions, and been there for anything and everything.
They love each of us, just as much as, if not more than we love them.
They will be missed around the church building, but they know as well as we do that we'll all still be around.
They will forever be a part of my life.
So, to Bishop Reed, Brother Vaughn and Brother Hamilton...
Thank you.
Thank you more than words can say.
Life has been crazy. I need it to slow down. I need summer.
Last night ended in one of those solid cries that you just sometimes need.
All these engaged/dating people are starting to get a little out of control...
When people are in these relationships, they act like everyone else has fallen off the face of the earth.
Why??
People say that when it's my turn I'll act the same way.
FALSE.
I refuse.
Seriously, if I act that way I want all of you to slap me.
It's because of people like this that I feel very alone these days.
I haven't really talked to or spent time with my best friends in weeks.
Because of they're men.
I want one.
Seriously.
I'm tired of this alone crap.
I was watching a show the other day where someone said
"you love me in spite of my flaws," or something like that.
That's not what I want.
I want someone who loves me because of my imperfections.
When is it my turn?
One of these days I'll get around to posting about Spring Break (and Spring Break part 2).
It was basically an awesome two weeks.
I really should be writing my Media Law midterm, not a blog post.
I dropped a class today.
It means taking a W on my transcript, but I don't even care at this point.
This class is was ridiculous.
I wasn't learning anything and the guy just wanted to talk about himself and how "awesome" he is the whole time.
It was part of the 18 credits I was taking and that was just too much.
Especially when the class just stressed me out.
He didn't really teach the stuff and changed deadlines all the time.
18 credits
+ 3 jobs
+ 1 internship
+ meetings + life
a stressed out, not enjoying life, Megan.
Someone told me to "slow the hell down," and I couldn't agree more.
So that's what I'm going to do.
Now I'm going to stop procrastinating and write my paper.
