summeritis

I have senior/summeritis...Not that I don't love your class Doc, but I just want to be done! With everything for just a little while, which sucks because I am taking summer classes too but with One semester left I am just READY! What does this have to do with Interpersonal Communication? Nothing I guess, but it is happening to all of my friends and we are all so tired and ready that we are just like zombies this week. moving from paper to paper, test to test and not getting much time in between to enjoy this time. I always hate this time of the year...and yet somehow I always get through, so I gotta quit my whining and just get this stuff done!

whew, that was a nice release of emotions. aowehaoen;sdkiaurj

nearly singing in the rain

I almost have my voice back!
This weekend was nuts though, between Swedestock, Mary's Recital, The Play, Self Defense, Papers our the butt, Gabe Moving, and Eryn's Birthday I cannot possibly imagine a better weekend. I loved it but man am I tired. I stayed up till three finishing my paper for today and still woke up at 8 to make sure it looked as good this morning as it did last night :). One down three to go and a presentation...whew. when this week is over I will be one happy toad. Hopefully I won't sound like a toad for much longer but you know what I mean. Well, I am gunna try to write more later, but this is going to be a crazy night. Another paper due tomorrow YAY!

silence

So it makes interpersonal communication even harder when you have no voice! As you will hear in class in just a few short minutes my voice is shot! I have Swedestock tomorrow (all day) I will be working, setting up, helping bands, and worse Announcing the upcoming bands! I am trying to save it, but there is always so much that I want to say! It sucks really bad trying to talk to Gabe on the phone because he cannot hear me so he keeps asking, "What?" and I have to repeat my self with more emphasis on whatever I was trying to say. It is a hard time for my interpersonal relationships, but I think we will make it =o)

I'm Sick TOO

It was really funny because I got on here before class thinking, "I really need to get on this! However, I have no idea what to write!" Then I saw your last blog from like last week when you were sick, and now it applies to me. I have a stuffy head, a stuffy nose, a sore throat, a tummy ache and my body aches! I feel better today than I did yesterday but overall it just sucks. Last night apparently I was nearly shouting at Eryn and Courtney when they were in my room, and I didn't know it because my ears were so stuffed up... It does indeed interfere with Interpersonal Communication; especially when I sleep from 11pm until 2pm. Yesterday was by far the worst, but I would have to guesstimate that I have used about 200 tissues in the past 48 hours. =o/
Well, I think that is pretty good for a restart to my blogging days! I will have more later!

Slacker

I have not been on in a loooong time! Well, Easter was this weekend and it was awesome. I had my first Harter Easter...well, it was our second but the first that I got to go to the dinners with each of Gabe's parent's families and that was fun! Kids were everywhere at his dad's dinner, and I ate SOOOOOO much food I cannot even begin to tell you how full I was! But He and I had a blast! It is hard to get back into this...I really I don't know what to write...I will get back on today and try again =o/

Update

I haven't blogged in quite a while so I am thinking an update is much needed.

Spring Break was awesome!!!!

I went home with Gabe for the entire thing and I loved every second of it! Really it was just he and I hanging out, working a little bit, doing some homework, and we got to go to KU med for his "open house". It was really a wonderful break and I wouldn't have changed one thing about it! I also learned how to chrochet from Gabe's Mom and Grandma. I am in the process of making a blanket but right now it really just looks like a scarf =o)

Meh then I got sick! The sunday that we were going to leave to come back I started feeling really poopy. We ended up leaving Monday because, quite honestly, niether of us was ready to get back to the way it is but I didn't have class until 11 anyway. But, I just sneezed a lot, my throat hurt really bad and I kept getting sick to my tummy, like queezy...I guess I am almost healed up now Thanks to my Nurse and future Dr. Gabe. And the only thing that is still bothering me is my nose...partly because it is sore from all the rubbing with tissues. =o/

hmmm...then this week has been crazy and isn't slowing down at all! I have so much to do for SAB, wanna see? well it popped up at the top, i was thinking it would be down here, but you can see it. That is a swedestock postcard we are trying to get made and w/e and I have spent ridiculous amounts of time perfecting...and it still isnt right....

BUUUT, Next week Gabe is going to come down and get me and thursday we will go back to Hiawatha and I will get to have my first Harter Easter!! I am excited to go back, when we are there it is like being in a whole other planet where I don't worry about anything!

Wellllll, I guess that is probably all the updating I have to give!

life epiphany

I had an epiphany tonight while i was talking to Gabe on Yahoo! It went a little something like this:

oh oops Preface: My sister (19) is pregnant and My dad's Girlfriend is also pregnant...both of these things hit me like a brick.


megganperkins: it is weird...i think i just had an epiphany
GABEY!: tell me!
megganperkins: so, i am talking to loren right..?
GABEY!: yes?
megganperkins: she text me today about the overalls and a dress
GABEY!: yes?
GABEY!: nice shot
megganperkins: lol thanks
megganperkins: and she kept talking, and even sent me a picture of her "baby belly"
megganperkins: she is huge
megganperkins: and it almost upset me for a little bit
megganperkins: BUT
GABEY!: yeah
megganperkins: i mean, let's face it, my family is and never has been perfect, and as much as I wish that were not the case...it is
megganperkins: so, this is their life...her life...my dad's life.
megganperkins: Our life will be everything I have ever wanted and More.
megganperkins: So Loren can pop out ten kids and my dad can make a whole other family if he wants...
megganperkins: I am happy with MY life and where OUR life will be today, tomorrow, and always.
megganperkins: And, God put Loren and Otis in my life for a reason. And, I am thankful to have them...I got a lot of good sense from their mistakes
megganperkins: But also, I am happy for them...i hope that they each grow from their own experiences
GABEY!: i think these thoughts are absolutely great
GABEY!: my mom has 2 sayings she wants me to know
megganperkins: do tell
GABEY!: love those who add to your life, but also those who subtract from it, the former has shown you how to live, while the latter has shown you not to
GABEY!: what you're saying reminds me of that
megganperkins: what is the other one?
GABEY!: anyone can hold the helm while the sea is calm
megganperkins: And are you going to shoot?
megganperkins: lol, i guess that one doesn't apply much at this very instant.
megganperkins: but I like it too
GABEY!: good
GABEY!: I think your epiphany is excellent tho!
megganperkins: thank you, i feel a lot better about it all
GABEY!: im glad that you do
GABEY!: thats why i love the saying through difficulty lies opportunity
GABEY!: because even tho this situation was getting you down, you found a way to learn from it and become so much more confident in yourself
megganperkins: well, i guess, opportunity for me to grow...they have a lot more than opportunity commin to em
GABEY!: and thats an opportunity
megganperkins: thank you baby!
megganperkins: you do give the greatest advice
megganperkins: I really dont know why i ever let this bother me before
GABEY!: because its new
megganperkins: What I have is what I want, and What I am striving for is How I want my life to be...It is Mine...not theirs and if they judged my choice of lifestyle I would disagree prolly as much as I have been in the past with their choices
megganperkins: but they are Thiers to choose
GABEY!: nicely stated!

I feel so much better about this.
