i killed two bees today. YAY for me. They are sooo pesky i can't stand them. Today was gorgeous, but i've spent most of it reading. i still have some reading to do, who would have known that reading can take up a whole day if you let it. However, as i often like to say...If God didn't want us to have fun the whole week long, He wouldn't have created a Sunday. So..today was a day for homework. I'm satisfied with that. Perhaps tonight there will be some more card playing...i was up until 1:30am playing cards with Lee and Aaron and Mike. I lost terribly...500 rummy..at the end of the game, i had a whopping 300 points. Mike won with an outstanding 505 points. He was a rookie too. Never played before and he kicked butt. Anyways...i have more reading to do...so i'll write more at another time. lata'

I went to check out the cast lists this morning and i found out that i got a part in the play "The House of Bernarda Alba" and also a part in the one act "Come and Go." The House Of Bernarda Alba is a spanish play about a woman who's husband has just died and she is a very rich woman, but no one in town really likes her. She's a mean old bat basically. Come and Go is an absurdist play and so it is going to be very strange...there will be many many silences and so yeah. It has only 3 women in it (i am one of the three cast members!) and the three of them are sitting on a bench talking about how things were when they were young. It's very strange, but hopefully when i read the whole script it will make sense to me. it is, actually, only a 5 min play. hahaha...so it's short! I'm very very excited though. So i will be sure to post the information for you all to see, so that you may, if you wish, call the box office and get yourself some tickets. BE SURE YOU GET THEM SOON!!! The House Of Bernarda Alba....that's the one! (come and go is not going on for a while...ok?!) Hope ot hear from you all soooon! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!

Happy times...so i had call back auditions tonight, and i'm exhausted. they lasted from 5:30pm until 10:00pm or so. I haven't eaten anything since 11:30am. Anyways..i think i'm gonna get in my PJs...have a snacky poo and then watch some TV. I just need to mellow out. SLEEP IN TOMORROW! it'll be good. so yes...have yourselves a gooooooooooood day and what not.

This morning in perspectives my teacher Professor Peach...A Peach to be exact..hahaha a peach! anyways he was a riot. i got a kick out of some of his comments...here they are for your reading pleasure...

"Are there any three years old who kicked ass to get into pre k?"

"Dammit, i'm gonna be fingerpainter of the year!"

"I'm the king of my household...Actually i'm not in charge at all; anybody who's married knows the woman's in charge."

He's so funny..and i don't know why those struck me as humorous, but they did...i laughed.


In other news, i checked out the call backs list this morning after Perspectives class with A Peach...and found that my name was listed under all four plays. I am to go back tonight to read for specific parts. I may or may not be cast in any or all of these plays...but i'm hopeful. Keep me in your prayers! Wish me luck (only in theatre you MUST say "break a leg" to say "good luck" is actually BAD luck. ) So tonight i am going to read and be happy...with whatever i can accomplish. For now i need a shower...i went to class dirty! hahahaha...too bad ofr the people down wind! Oh and i talked to my sarie today too. Boy do i miss her. SARIE I WILL COME SEE YOU SOON!!!! I love you!

So...i guess some people just don't recognize talent when they hear it. JERK!

class has begun...today is my second day of classes and i'm so phyched to be in school. I was bored out of my mind with nothing to do all the time. It's nice to have things to keep me busy. I auditioned for chamber singers yesterday...i'm hopeful that i made it. but i have to wait until a later time (tomorrow or friday?) to know for sure. I GOT THE JOB AT THE BOX OFFICE!! so now i will be making some money and i'm thrilled about that. i have a job in the theatre...no maintanence for me! EAT THAT SMU! so yeah...i'm pretty pumped if you haven't guessed. I still have one more class today and it's with my wonderful roommate April. Turns out we have the same teacher and the same class...American Lit. It's pretty cool. We can study together and such. Well...tonight i am doing one of two things. Either watching Bruce Almighty with Stephanie and Aaron in the plaza..or i'm taking the two of them to Dustin's and we're going to play rummy. should be a good time. No matter what i do, i win...so it's all good. Anyways...i need to do some homework. I'll talk to you all later....Enjoy yourselves...and good luck to those of you who have yet to begin classes! BOMBS AWAY! YAR!

So there is a boy in my Script analysis class who was assulted by a woman who thought she was the virgin mary. Sounds both shocking and appaling, until you know, of course, that he spent a year in a psych ward. Indeed that will do it. So...many many cool people...as well as some very strange people mixed in. I've met even more people in the past few days...and it's wonderful. I am anxious for classes to start...i need something to do. I get to go to Theatre crafts, creative writing, anda choir audition tomorrow. YAYAYAYA...so that'll be good enough to keep me busy. SOOOO...i should get going. I'm tired and need to relax for a bit. Caio.

Looks like i'll be getting a job at the Saint Mary's Box Office!!!! Whoooo hoo..NO MAINTANENCE FOR ME! i went and had it switched today. it's a good thing. I walked around with aaron for a bit, then i found a guy i met at orientation and reintroduced myself..he was headed to the same place as me, so we both applied for the same job...and hopefully we'll both get it...He's way super nice. (kinda cute too..hee hee) But reguardless, i'll be working in the theatre area and i'll get to know a lot more about what goes on. So it should be good. I'm excited. lunch time..see ya!

Today is hot...very very hot. I'm having agood day however. I helped my friend Steph move in...she got her things into her TINY room. I went to dinner with Aaron, Lee and the guys...it was a good time. I'm really loving school thus far..however classes haven't even begun yet...heh. So yeah...I'm going to make a class schedule for my Bulletin board so that i do not miss a class...So yes, Steph is going to call me later as well as aaron...so then we all can hang out, i guess there is another band playing tonight, and we may go to that! who knows? should be a good time. I have choir auditions on Tuesday...at 4:10pm. Should be a good time. Then i have choir at 4:15...i might be late. hee hee. But yeah...anyways...i gotta get that schedule made! Whew...i'm still hungry!

Tonight i went to a concert in the plaza with Aaron...it was fun. The music was good and i got to kinda catch up and chat with aaron. I love that kid...he's so awesome. It'll be good to have him here...a face i've seen before...and one that can always comfort me...just because i know him. hee hee. I'm beat though...so it's time for bed. April is locked out i guess...and she can't call? i don't know...maybe she forgot her room number....(granted i wasn't here to get the call and her cell doesn't work very well....whatever i don't know) At any rate...it is time for bed. So good night..all of you, rest easy knowing that i am safe and sound in my new room. Things will be good...i can feel it. *sigh* *grins*

I'm all moved in. The room is great..April seems pretty cool. Not as i thought she'd be...you know. I'm not nearly as homesick as i could be, but i haven't really had a chance to do anything yet. i'm really pumped to be here. None of the other residents have moved in yet...it is an all sophomore dorm and only freshmen and transfers. So...it's kinda quiet here as of now...but tomorrow it will be hoppin'...Tonight around 10 i'm going to head out and chill with my Friend Aaron Reihl...he goes to school here and went to kasson as well...so i've known him for a while. Don't know what we'll do, but hopefully a bunch of people will be out and about. so we'll see. Anyways...Yeah..things are looking good thus far...stay tuned for updates! OH..and my address here at school is...

Megan J Erickson

Today is my final day home. I have to pack...i've hardly begun. Well, most of my things are already packed...i didn't unpack them when i came home from Stevens Point. I am soooooo tired today. i had a late late night last night...won't say what time i got home...of course you can tell it was morning time! But yes..i had a good time, so that's all that matters. I need to let out my kitties and have a bowl of Berry Berry Kix...the best cereal ever made. Indeed it is wonderful! perhaps wheni get a chance i will write a more exciting blog for you all. (maybe i'll get creative!) But don't count on it...it might not happen. hahahaha...Wait til school starts...then i'll have exciting news for all! Welp...kix are calling me. See ya!

Yay for today...granted it was hotter than He...well you know...I went to Winona with Diana Pauline and Cynthia Ann...we bought my books. $230 it was. thank heavens for used books. (i probably won't read half of them anyways! HA) We had a good time i think. hee hee...it was waaaay too hot though..lots of complaining about that. But what's an outing without complaining?!?!?! Surely not a normal thing in this family! hee hee.

Tonight Heidi Butt and DP were here and we watched MARY POPPINS!!! (yes, you must say it with the accent...MAAAAAAAARY POP-INS) Then butt fell asleep and so nan french Braided Mom and my hairs. It felt sooooo wonderful. heeeeeeee. :) Anyways...i think it might be past my bed time...i've played numerous card games with my diana and now i am tired...Norah Jones will put you to sleep if you let her. ha...she is an aaaaaaawesome musician! Thank you lord for inventing the backspace (or whomever came up with it) I Have used it many many many times this evening...not to mention 4 times in that last sentence. It's rough being me...hahaha...all i can do is laugh. Anyways...Must go...OOH YEAH...Diana made us Pumpkin pie...it was waaaaay good. but don't worry, it was the jello "no bake" kind. very nice tasting! It is time to go...Have a good rest of the week..

Quote of the day: "Megan...i don't eat this much...just today." Yes..i totally understand!

I just had a great time with my cousin Alexandra. She was staying at my grandma Erickson's and she called and asked if she could stay at our house for the night. We watched SpongeBob SquarePants and ate ice cream. I made Tacos for supper and pancakes for breakfast...we played games and just spent time together. It was lots and lots of fun. She's so cute...i think it was the earliest i've been to bed in a long time. went to bed at 10:30 and woke up at 8:30am. that's not so bad. A little earlier than i would have normally gone to bed and woken up, but 10 hours of sleep is a wonderful amount! Anywho...i'm going to call Diana now and see what she's up to. Perhaps i'll even wash my car? i don't know...anyway...i only have 4 days left at home...so i'm trying to fit in all my good-byes...i have many left to say...so yesh..got a busy day! later!

I've finished my last day of work at the Big BN...and now i have a week of freedom to do as i please. I will be moving a few of my things into my dorm room sometime this week...i also plan to steal the bottom bunk..i'm not crawling up into bed anymore...i hate top bunk. AND....i'm really nervous about auditions. Singing, acting, everything!!!! I must relax. Things will be alright...won't they? ARGH! Welp..i must be going..not much going on in my life these days..sorry for the boring blogs...wait a week or so...then they will be exciting again. Yeah! Later.

I have a long day ahead of me today...i gotta go into rochester at this time of day...TOO EARLY! and then i have to take my father shopping and pick him out some clothes..then i have to go to work...so yeah..not much new going on in the world of Megan...except that Tomorrow (Saturday) is my last day of work at the big BN. Then i get to have a week for myself before i go to school. so yeah...welp..i have to go...have a good day everyone!

I LOVE AMY WEGNER!!!!

Feeling a little overwhelmed. need some sleep. hope tomorrow is better...please be sunny.

Work was actually fun today. I wasn't alone back in Music...Jenny, the music Manager was back there with me all day and she's awesome. We had so much fun. I got to put up a bunch of new stickers and labels all over the store....it was fun fun fun...so yeah...work was endured...so yeah..my little brother is here and we're going to eat pizza...and maybe play monster's inc memory. beware. ok...welp i feel bad taking up valuable sibling time...we're waiting for our sister to come home. She works until 8. Nan's gone back to work. Yay for her. Welp...gotta get going...later all!

Yessss...welp...i work at noon tomorrow, so i need to get to bed. gotta be up at 10am. So...Sweet dreams to all...

P.S. Pirates of the Carribean is a very very very good movie!!!! I loved it! WOOO HA!

Wooo hooo! I'm making cookies. I have to work today in MUSIC...i hate working back there..it's the devil. but perhaps i will survive? i odn't know where anything is located and i always feel so stupid when people ask me questions and i can't help them. ARGH! Welp...i got up at 10 today and went for a walk....1.5 miles...then i did my pilates and now i'm making cookies. I've gotten a lot done today! YAYAYA! Anyways..i need to go get ready for work. Have a good day!!! YAR!

*yawns* (pssssst..i'm wearing shorts today, don't tell anyone ok?) hahahahahaha! Shorts are the enemy!

I had a great day today. I woke up at 10am...had a headache and couldn't sleep anymore...i had some KIX for breakfast..they, of course, were covered in 1/8 on an inch of sugar...haha..only kidding...(maybe) and then i called Kinzie. I left her a message to get out of bed..and seconds after i hung up..she returned my call. She and i went to Chester woods...it's a beach that my cousin Brianna and I often go Carcass Hunting in. (it's an inside joke people...we don't really look for carcasses!) Anyways..Kinzie and i went to the beach and tanned..i got a little red in my face and shoulders..back too..ok..i burned. and then we came home and got cleaned up, had dinner...kinz took a nap i guess. Then she came over again and we hung out...we MOD PODGED picture frames...painted our toenails..played DREAMPHONE (thanks to Aaron P...YOU'RE THE BEST!!!)..and then just chilled for a while. I had an awesome, relaxing day with my Best Bud Chicken...it was wonderful. And tomorrow ibelieve i am going to go see Pirates of the Caribbean (sp?) with My Best Bud Heidi Butt...It should be exciting. I actually have a lot going on tomorrow.

I'm going to have lunch with my good friend Stephanie C....then I'm going to the dentist..hopefully they'll fix my fake tooth...Jamey will be in town so i will probably hang out with him for a bit...then i have to stop into work and check my schedule for the rest of the week...then that night Heidi and i are going to the movie...in the meantime i'm sure i'll have a bunch of stuff to do. SOOOO I should probably be off to bed. I hope my toes are dry...i don't want to smudge the polish while i sleep..that would be bad. :( anyways..i need to go nurse my sunburn...soooo...see ya!

Welp...to those of you who care..i am HOME!!! i had a blast in Ohio..i know that sounds impossible...because, well, let's face it...it's Ohio...but they DO have the world's largest roller coasters...and wooooo ha is that a reason to go to Ohio or what??? I didn't actually get to go on THE world's largest roller coaster (420 feet high traveling at a speed of 120mph) because it wasn't working. it appeared that the park had some bugs to work out of it before they could run it...but i got to go on the worlds SECOND largest roller coaster. It was 310 feet high and traveled at a speed of 93mph... so that was a fast bugger too!! It was so much fun. The car ride..i could have done without...too much time in the car...However on the upside...i read an entire harry potter book in the car...and am now officially onto book number 4. Not bad seeing as how i started the first one in the last week of June. The second book took me some time to get through because i got bored and busy...but i finished the third...confusing but very very good once i got through it...and now i can start the fourth!!! WOOOOO! Well anyways...i need to get some things put away and then change..i feel....greazy from the car ride...10 hours in a car...yuck. welp...see you..! YAR!
