Its the weekend....school begins again on Monday. Oh well...I'm ready to get back into things....I want to graduate!

Yesterday we had swim practice for about 1 1/3 hours. It was cool. We practiced like normal for the first half, but played water polo the second half. I LOVE water polo! It was great! My team lost...but it was still fun. I love water polo!!! lol. Though...it was a bit painful. I played defense, and since we were losing I got alot of action. One time me and this guy from the other team went up for the ball, but he sorta elbowed me in the neck. ouch! Then i got about 2 bruises forming on my leg where i got kicked. And i got dunked a few times. I dunked one person myself and attempted to dunk a few others but couldn't. I blocked the ball alot though. So that was good. It was funny, cause sometimes I'd be going after the ball, then suddenly I just couldn't see anything cause there would be like 6 people going for the ball, so you'd just see water flying and u just keep trying to push the other team away and get the ball. mayn...that is my game! lol

Anyways...that was the highlight of my day. I didn't do much of anything else. I went shopping...bought a $7 shirt at Old Navy. Good sales. I played GameCube w/ my brother...Super Mario Smash Brothers...good game. Thats all...a decent Saturday.


Today we have a swim meet. Its the relay meet...my favorite meet of the year. No pressure, though you still try to improve your times. So ill be leaving for that in a little more than an hour. Well, time to surf the web...ill blog later..or tomorrow at the latest.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Yay!!! Its 2004!!!! My New Year's Eve was great. I went to Ricky's New Years party. I was there from 8pm to 1am. It was fun. There was like 15 pple....Hope, McClain, Jonathan, Hope's boyfriend, Alanna, Gonzo, Paul, Jared, Ian, etc. etc. etc. It was cool. We played lotsa video games. It was sooo funny! Like...everyone brought there game systems....i swear! There was 1 playstation2, 2 xboxes, a gamecube, a nintendo 64....lol. There were 2 tvs set up for video games. Then some of us played monopoly. That was a the most carefree game of monopoly i had EVER played! lol...people kept ripping me off cause i'd be talking 2 pple and not paying attention. At midnight we watched the ball in New York City drop (from the t.v., of course), and we had those noisemakers and then party poppers that shot confetti and streamers in the air. lol...i love those party poppers...i set off 3 of em. haha.
Before I left, we all were watching this Robin Williams Live in New York thing, or something. It was okay. Some parts were real funny...other parts may have been funny but they were pretty offensive or just plain wrong. I was laughing at Jared, who was laughin and gasping for air like he was gonna die cause he thought it was hilarious. It was cool. Good party. Must have another...HAPPY 2004!


Okay...now im back at home...lol. I woke up around 10:30am...pretty late for me...i try not to sleep past 9am. Anyways, i cleaned the house a little...we packed up pretty much all our Christmas stuff. It annoys me when people leave their lights and things up til Febuary. Then I did some more RP...im almost halfway done the actual testing now. oh yeah. im good...lol.
I played air hockey w/ my little brother for a little bit. He just looked so bored and I felt bad cause I really haven't done anything with him all of break.

And now I'm blogging and checking movie times. I think i'm going to the movies and mall w/ some people tomorrow...i have 2 call them later and see if they are still coming. What to see....
I'm torn between "The Last Samurai," "Paycheck," and "Love Don't Cost a Thing." They all sound pretty good. hhhmmm...any suggestions???

Its that time of year again...
New Year's Eve....2003 is being kicked out the door, and 2004 is approaching. 2004. A new year. My year. Yes. I say "my year" because this is my last year in high school. By 2004's end I will have graduated high school and been done about a semester of college. Yes. 2004 will be an end and a beginning for me.

That being said, its time for my Annual New Year's Resolutions. Yes, I make them. Yes, I break them. But hey...at least I try. Here are my goals for this coming year:
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOR 2004
1. Be more optimistic. My motto has been for many years "Think the worst and you'll never be disappointed." I really am optimistic, but I always change my views so I can't fail. Maybe I need a new outlook on life...

2. Keep up my grades and improve my Calculus grade. Calculus is the HARDEST class I have EVER taken in my life!! But I WILL NOT give up and I WILL do better...

3. Keep at least a 3.5 GPA....I've been in the 3.71-4.11 GPA range all through high school....pleaaase let me keep that up...

4. Get a scholarship. I need BIG money for college...

5. Have more fun. Hang out w/ friends more....see more movies in theaters..hey..this is my senior year...i wanna have fun!

6. Eat healthier...this is espeacially for this time of year...you won't BELIEVE how many cookies I had this winter...lol

7. Improve my swimming times, espeacially in the 200 IM.

8. Join my high school's tennis team again...last year I couldn't join cause I would miss too much math. This year I'd still miss math...but I'm gonna try to work it out.

9. Participate more in class...I rarely raise my hand...im just too lazy....its such an effort to put it in the air...

10. Throw a party....I had a Halloween party this past Halloween and it was fun...i wanna throw another party before college.

11. Go on a trip w/ friends. Im going to try to plan my own senior trip...probably over spring break.

12. Spend more time w/ my family. I ignore my little brother too much....it wouldn't kill me to play a video game w/ him..

13. Keep in better touch w/ my friends. I hardly ever talk on the phone...i just don't like talking on the phone much...but i want to talk to people i don't see much more...like Sharis and McClain and pple.

14. Have a great summer: Im going to work this summer where i worked last summer...i wanna have fun since it will be the last summer before college!

15. Procrastinate less. ha. haha...this one's broken already...

16. Learn HTML and make my blog more original and better.

The next ones are mainly college related, for when i start college:

17. Have fun.

18. Make new friends.

19. Join at least 2 school activities I like my freshman year.

20. Avoid the dreaded "freshman 15."

21. Get along w/ my roomate(s).

22. Study hard and get good grades.

23. Get a (part-time) job while going to school.

24. Participate in activites like dances/concerts/games/sports/etc...after all...I'm paying for my time on campus...I am GONNA make the most of it! lol


Well...24 resolutions...i know there are tons more but thats all I can think of for now. After all, you don't need to wait for a new year to make a new resolution. Maybe I can stick to a few of these....maybe....

:::I wanna go to Towson..I wanna go to Towson...:::

AAhhh! Ever since i got into one of my "college moods" yesterday evening, I can't stop thinking about college and scholarships and stuff. Tomorrow will be 2004!! Our year!! whoo-hoo!! And watch...spring is gonna go by fast. I still can't believe this is MY LAST YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL!!! YAY!!

But i keep thinking about college. I really wanna go to Towson...im waiting for my acceptance/rejection letter...should come any day now....i hope im in. Then ill just have to worry about money. I only applied 2 three schools: Towson (my 1st choice), Frostburg (2nd choice- i already got accepted), and U.MD College Park. College Park i dont really wanna go there...its just so close and too big. Hopefully, ill get my letters soon though, then i can work on getting money for school. I've begun the FAFSA, but i cant do anymore of it til my dad gets those tax things in order.

college...its gonna be great....lol...of course it will be lots of work...but im looking foreward to being on my own. freedom....oh yes....lol

::wow 2 blog entries in one day....go Megan, go Megan...::

Mayn...i was talking to Hope online today awhile ago. Talked about college...scholarships....SATs...all that jazz...

Now my mind is pretty much on a one-way street: scholarships and college. I need money! lol. I've been bugging my dad to get his tax things in, so i can send out the FAFSA form soon after Jan. 1. But i think it might take awhile, cause he's doing it through the accountant (sp??) at work, which i think may take awhile. boo. Meanwhile, i've began one scholarship, and am about to look for more...ill try doing a few at a time. After all, it takes me forever to find one to actually do.

Then...i keep thinking about the colleges i applied to. I'm in Frostburg, but thats like my 2nd choice school. Where the heck is my acceptance (hopefully,) or rejection (please no...) letter from Towson?? I sent my application in 2 weeks before Thanksgiving break. I got an email from them saying they have recieved my application and i should get a reply within 4 weeks.
I can't remember exactly when i got that email, but im pretty sure it was over 4 weeks ago. I want to know if im in or not! I think Towson is my first choice. The size is okay...a little bigger than what i want, but the class sizes are small. And it has the programs i want, and a great location. Not to mention, its in-state so i can pay that lower in-state tuition. i hope i get in...i wanna know now...lol

okayz...lookin 4 scholarships...ttfn!

Mayn...break is going by fast! okay...sorry i haven't blogged in a bit...lemme catch u up and i promise ill blog more often (*fingeres crossed*) lol.

Saturday my family had our annual Christmas party. It was nice. My grandparents, and cousins and stuff came over...havent seen them since summer i think... And my mom let me invite a few friends, so Meery, Angela and Sharis came. It was fun. We talked alot, ate alot and played Taboo for like...forever. Sharis had to leave at about 7:15pm....but the rest of us played Spades for awhile. Ahhh. Spades...i miss that game. :) Meery left at about 8pm, but Angela stayed til like 10pm. We played cards some more, then talked and looked through our 2003 yearbook.
Once she left i hung out w/ my cousins and aunt/uncle/grandparents/etc. and talked for awhile, but they left around 11pm. So then i cleaned up a bit then hit the sack around 12:30am.

Saturday and Sunday i also earned some $$$! My dad's friend does inventory at this computer place about twice a year, and i go and help. So in 2 days i made $150. not bad...hopefully it will last
til school lets out. Mayn i need a job...lol

Today i had swim team practice...it was almost 2 hours long today. A little tiring, but surprisingly all that Christmas food didn't make me as out of shape as i thought i was. I really do need to stop eating cookies tho...lol..they r just toOo good!! But..yeah...practice was cool. There will be another one on Friday...but we are playing water polo for most of it. YAYZ!!! It is sOo fun! lol

I have also begun to clean my room. Its a mess. I have a tendancy to toss things on my desk or on the floor, and it will pile up. Well...the pile on my desk has tottered over and fell so many times its like a big blob of junk on it. So yesterday and today i cleaned it off. It took a total of about 4 hours, but now its so organized!! I might tackle my chair this evening. Yes. My chair. It has somewhere between 4 and 8 jackets piled on it...at least one pair of pants then some bags of stuff...i don't know whats in the bags. So that should keep me busy a bit. :)

I FINALLY began my RP project!! Yay! Its not going to well..the results aren't coming out as easily as i thought they would. But im about 1/4 the way done the experiments...so...yeah...feels good to have something on paper! :)
