7:22 PM
Well, here we are.
It's finals week, and in all my glorious awesomeness I am procrastinating and NOT reading conservation biology or working on my essay questions. Instead, I am sitting here in my apartment, by myself, in front of the heater cursing the cold and wondering where-oh-where Megan has gone.
Yes, you did read that right. I'm wondering where I've gone. The Megan that's always so sure, so confident and independent. That Megan... she seems to have gone missing. Have you seen her?
Ah, I'm in one of my mel moods again. It usually happens when I become overloaded with work and responsibilities. Some sort of defense mechanism, maybe, although I fail to see the survival value.
And there I go with the ethology crap. I had my ethology final at 7:30am this morning (ouch), and it went...er, poorly. Yeah, 76% poorly. My only consolation is that the average was a 68%, and I scored a 100% on the midterm. I'm sure there'll be a curve, so whatever.
Seriously though, for the past two days all I've studied is mating systems and sex, sex, sex. (Um, side note here...ethology is the study of animal behavior. So when I say mating systems and sex, I'm talking about horny baboons, mormon flies, sea horses, that kind of thing. 'Kay?). For whatever reason, I've now been bitten by the singleton-blues bug. It hasn't visited me since high school, but for some reason it has decided to rear its ugly head now, of all times. And then I accidentally stumbled upon this glorious website, and I'm suddenly thinking "Damn! I'd like to get married! Like, NOW!"
Well, shit. Where'd this come from? Stupid ethology. Stupid horny elephant seals.
Anyway, I snuck off to see the "sneak peak" of "THE GOLDEN COMPASS" this past Saturday night (yes, by myself). It was FAN-freaking-TASTIC, wonderfulous, AWESOMEFUL! etc. etc.
The casting was SPOT on and the visual effects were just stunning! I was a little worried about Dakota Blue Richards from the previews, but she was the perfect embodiment of Lyra to me! Nicole Kidman was positively chilling as Mrs. Coulter, as I knew she would be. The daemons were VERY realistic and seamlessly woven into the scenes. Lastly, the armored bears were just STUNNING. They were SO impossibly realistic, and the battle between Iorek and Iofur (whose name was changed to Ragnar to prevent confusion) was 5 minutes of edge-of-your-seat-can't-look-away-oh-my-gosh-is-this-really-happening technical brilliance. Wonderful!
My only criticism was the ending. For some unknown reason, someone made the decision to cut out the last 3 chapters of the book. I know for a fact they filmed them, because there are scenes in the trailers and tv spots from those scenes. Rumor has it that pre-screening audiences were confused (huh?), so they decided to cut those chapters and instead attach them to the beginning of the second film, should it be made. As a result, the ending was just...crap. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't anticipating the climactic ending to the book. I plan on seeing it when it officially opens this weekend, so maybe it will improve upon second viewing?
Well, I really *DO* have to do work now. A 76% is all very well and good in ethology, but I can't afford a low score on my conservation biology final.
At least I don't have to read about promiscuous birds anymore. It was depressing me.Labels: fangirl, movie, school, single

12:37 PM
I think autumn has finally arrived, and with it that not-quite-winter weather we Ohioans all know, hate, and fear. I woke up this morning, looked out my window and saw WHITE stuff falling from the sky. No, not snow, but sleet. Wet, cold, mess-up-my-hair-and-screw-up-my-day sleet. I wanted nothing more than to snuggle down further into my covers with my cats (Abby at my feet and Calvin at my side - he's like a big, fluffy teddy bear!) and skip my 8:30am class. Alas! I always regret skipping, so I dragged myself out of bed and stumbled down to the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee. Oh caffeine, where would I be without you?
And so I'm sitting here on OSU's campus, dreading my 1:30pm conservation biology class and procrastinating. Ah yes, the life of a college student.
Really I just wanted to write a brief update detailing my experience at BOMA (Bar of Modern Art) this past Sunday evening. BOMA is something of a novel idea here in Columbus - a CLASSY nightclub. Imagine that? Who would have thought it possible to create a nightclub that doesn't resemble a meat market? BOMA strives to be just that. However, Kel and I didn't go to BOMA for dancing, but instead we attended a Fashion Show of local designers, benefiting sickle cell research. We purchased tickets at the door, and unfortunately this meant we were in the standing room section. I had bought new shoes at Kohl's earlier that day, and let me tell you...these were NOT "standing room" shoes! My feet were loudly protesting the strain and squish the whole evening! Ah, the things we do for fashion.
But I digress. The show itself was extremely entertaining, if not for the fashion then for the running commentary Kelley and I maintained throughout the evening. We commented on everything from the fashion itself to the models, some of whom looked terrified to be on a runway. Kelli Martin's line was the best in our opinion, and I plan on telling her so the next time I see her. One of the shirts I bought from her last week was actually in the show! I felt extremely hip when I spotted it (...but let me assure you, HIP I am NOT! It was nice to feel "in the know" for the evening, though). There was one designer whose line resembled the formal wear one would find at your local Good Will. Seriously - I swear I saw some of those dresses the last time I went thrifting. Not my cup of tea!
Another interesting observation was the rather unique situation Kelley and I found ourselves in. I mention it only because I thought it was really cool, and I always enjoy new experiences. My sister and I grew up in an extremely uniform, predominantly white community. Diversity was pretty much zilch to zip. So it was interesting to find ourselves the minority this past Sunday, as we were probably 2 of only about 10 white people in all of BOMA (and there were a couple hundred people in attendance). It was definitely a positive experience, especially because I feel like my childhood lacked the cultural education many city kids experience.
Lastly, Mychael Knight (from Project Runway) hosted. He was very cool (and very cute), and spent much of the evening plugging his new unisex fragrance that's coming out soon. Whatever.
So that was BOMA. Mucho fashion with un poco good fashion ("moda", si? One of the few spanish words I remember!). Kel and I would like to go back to BOMA to check out their nightclub, because neither of us have had very good nightclub experiences and we'd like to see what a "posh" club experience is like.
Well, I best be off to class. Rainforest ecology is the topic of the day, and I'm sure my professor will find some way to make it horribly boring. ¡Qué lástima de verdad!Labels: entertainment, school, weather

Today, in the middle of my Ethology (animal behavior) midterm examination, I had a thought.
What would the world be like without zippers?
I tried in vain to force my mind back to the matter at hand (for example, proximate and ultimate questions of animal behavior), but that was it. Fighting was futile. I had to think this through - what WOULD the world be like without zippers?
I struggled through the rest of the test (still thinking about zippers, mind you), and after finishing I wandered over to Mirror Lake Cafe to grab a bite to eat before my next class. I sat down to eat my breakfast sandwich (ham, egg, and cheese) and pulled about my Conservation Biology notes to study for tomorrow's midterm examination, when I started to notice all the zippers. Zippers on purses, zippers on backpacks, zippers on shoes, zippers on jeans, zippers on khakis, and yes, even zippers on hats. I didn't see one person in that cafe without a zipper.
So I ask you: What would this world be like without zippers? Would buttons take over? Or maybe velcro?
So today I say thank God for zippers!
Or maybe not. We'll see how I did on that ethology exam first.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Other news:
Nightwish plays in Cleveland at 7:30pm tonight. I am stuck here in Columbus learning about population viability analyses, life histories, and wetland ecology. I am SAD! It is COLD! My brain is FRIED!
I get to see Jennifer (REI-CHAN!) Friday!
I'm going to a Halloween party Friday night...still not sure what my costume will be.
Saturday is Quincy's 21st birthday and the Buckeye's game. Translation? = GOOD TIME!

5:32 PM
It's my senior year and I still haven't quite got this studying thing figured out. My first exam of the quarter is Monday (in physiology), and instead of studying I've been surfing the internet wasting precious time. Fanfiction.net will be my ultimate downfall, I just know it. While a great majority of fanfic writing isn't worth reading, there are some really talented authors out there who know exactly what we rabid fangirls want to read and give it to us with a heaping side of mashed potatoes and gravy. Curse you, obsessive fangirl Megan!
So it seems Autumn has finally come.
This morning I had to be on campus at 7:30am for my Conservation Biology class. That in itself was enough to make me hostile, especially since I had tickets for today's OSU game versus Kent State at 12pm. Our professor made no guarantees that we would be back in time for kick off; I considered skipping, but a missed field trip means a missed field entry, which means a lowered field notebook grade...so I went.
Anyway, We traveled to the Highbanks Metro Parks to survey an old forest (species richness of trees), and it was so flippin' freezing that I couldn't feel my fingers the whole time. I had on three layers of clothing, but I couldn't find my gloves. Not only was I cold, but our professor is both HIGHLY unorganized and, pardon my french, fucking clueless. No kidding. He didn't seem to know or understand his own procedures, and so we wasted a ton of time hemming and hawwing, trying to figure out exactly what we were supposed to do. I could feel my blood pressure rising by the minute, especially when he told us off for wasting time. Pardon me, but WE weren't the ones stopping to identify every single tree we came across. WE weren't the ones who chose to make a side trip to the wetlands to do a little bird watching. Now these things are all very well and good, and as a zoology student I am interested, but NOT when we are on a tight time schedule and have a shit ton to do and only a little bit of time in which to do it.
I have a feeling we weren't very scientific in our surveying, especially since by the end of the morning my group was calling every tree a Sugar Maple. Somehow we managed to get everything finished in spite of our inept professor. Fortunately he's a really nice guy; it would be easier to bitch about him if he was a jerk, but he does seem to genuinely care about conservation biology. Plus, he did drop off those of us off who had game tickets close to the stadium. I arrived in my seat RIGHT at kickoff - the timing couldn't have been more perfect. We (Michele, my friend and roommate, and myself) only stayed through halftime, because I am supposed to be studying and she had plans to travel south to visit her grandma and go horseback riding with Horseman's Association. I had planned on going horseback riding too...that is, until I found out about this stupid exam. Bah.
And so I'm sitting here in my living room, in front of my heater, with lit candles and a bit of Pink Martini playing lightly in the background, trying to find the inspiration to study. Kidney function, however, just isn't that appealing to me at present.
In other news...I am HUGELY disappointed because I can't find anyone to go to the Madeleine Peyroux concert with me, and Nightwish is coming to Cleveland to perform on a WEDNESDAY when I have classes. I am so, so sad. :_(
 I actually just received my preordered copy of Nightwish's new CD in the mail the other day, and I am THRILLED with it! Anette, their new lead singer, is fantastic! This CD is definitely going on my list of all-time-favorite CDs. Is it so strange that I like a Finnish Symphonic Power Metal band? XD Seriously though, you should check out their single Amaranth, because not only is it a fantastic song but the music video is gorgeous. Nightwish songs are extremely poetic and take a bit of interpretation, but that's one of the reasons I love them so much. "Amaranth", I believe, is about the fall of Lucifer (Amaranth = Lucifer):Baptized with a perfect name, the doubting one by heart alone without himself.
War between him and the Day, need someone to blame-
In the end little he can do alone... I don't quite agree with the message ("Caress the one, the hiding Amaranth"), but it is still an awesome song. It could have numerous interpretations, but that's the one that sticks out the most from the music video. Anyone have any other ideas after viewing?
If anyone is curious, here is Nightwish with their previous lead singer. Tarja's style was much more operatic:
Nemo, by Nightwish - This happens to be another of my favorite Nightwish songs.
Alright, the length of this post clearly proves that now I'm just procrastining. No one probably gives a damn about my eclectic musical taste...
Back to kidney function. GR.Labels: football, music, school

Sigh.
A bit of clarification is needed on my last entry, but I just don't have the heart to talk about it right now. Yes, I purposefully did not apply this summer. No, I don't have any idea of what I'm going to do...
More on that later.
For now, here's a....Photo entry!
Sunday night, Christine and I went to the Maroon 5/The Hives concert at Nationwide Arena. She won free tickets on the radio and invited me to come along with her, and I was more than happy to oblige! I am a HUGE Maroon 5 fan, so needless to say I was pumped! A Swedish band called "The Hives" opened for them, and even though I had only heard one of their songs before I still enjoyed their show. The acoustics kind of sucked in the arena, and because they are a rock band it made it very difficult to hear their lyrics. Oh well...
Maroon 5, however, kicked ass. As expected. I still haven't purchased their new CD, but it is definitely on my list of things-to-buy-when-I-have-money. I saw them once a couple years ago when they opened for John Mayer, and I must say...WOW they have improved a lot since then! They are just SUPER talented performers. What an awesome night!
That's really the only exciting news to write about. School sucks, and I'm experiencing the typical insane deluge of schoolwork that usually comes about 3 weeks into the quarter. My first exam in Physiology is Monday, so I've been studying for that. As a matter of fact, my whole entire frickin' Saturday was dedicated to Physiology:
Yuck, yuck yuck...
Oh, and I dyed my hair Monday night. It's a LOT more red than I was expecting, but it's rather fun nevertheless. I've never dyed my own hair before, so I have a feeling it's horribly uneven, but oh well. It's a temporary dye, so it should come out in about 20 shampoos or so.
 _
Well, I'm going to help out at the "Clipnosis" demo this evening so I better go get ready for that. But let me just say that I am LOVING this cooler weather! Autumn is finally here!Labels: concert, hair, school

Wow, it's hard to believe I just finished my third full week of classes this spring quarter. Can you believe that summer will soon be here? It's hard to think about, especially with the temperatures as low as they have been these past couple of weeks! I have been extremely busy these past few weeks...so here's a brief update:
1) Today applications for TELR's "Research on Research" summer grant were due. Dr. B and I are applying once again (we didn't get it last summer), so we've been busy putting together a project proposal and filling out the necessary paperwork. Of course, this has been stressful, because the application required two professional references. I don't know any of my professors very well, because all of my classes are so huge, so this was especially challenging for me. Luckily, two of my professors were kind enough to let me use them as references. :)
2) Yesterday was the College of Veterinary Medicine's "Advances in Veterinary Medicine Day", and I made a "Clipnosis" scientific poster for it! Unfortunately, my judging time was 9:15am, and I couldn't get out of my microbiology lab to present my poster. I was so disappointed! So my poster was not included in the final judging. :( Sadness! It was still a fantastic experience, and I'm really looking forward to participating again (and hopefully winning!) next year. So I've been busy the past couple of weeks putting the poster together.
3) Classes! This quarter I'm taking:
-Microbiology:
Bacteria, fungi, and other fun microscopic organisms. The lab component is especially entertaining. My plates of bacteria never turn out right though, and I'm constantly paranoid that I'm going to bring some critter home with me...especially since my partner isn't the brightest crayon in the box (Him= "Do you want a mint?" Me="Thanks but...I don't think that's a good idea...seeing as we're playing with E.coli today!")
-Diversity and Systematics:
Boring with a capital B. Basically we learn how to organize plants and animals in their proper taxonomic groups. Kings play cards on fat green stools...
-Diversity and Systematics Lab:
Definitely cooler than the lecture, because we're only talking about animals. Lots of fun specimens to poke and prod at!
-English: The fantastic in literature:
Interesting class! I only wish I had more time to devote to it...Tolkien, Swift, Shakespeare, etc.
So classes have definitely been keeping me busy! I don't feel like I've had any time at all to actually sit down and study for any of them. Next week I have TWO midterm exams, so I am not looking forward to studying this weekend!
Well, this blog hasn't been especially insightful or interesting...but it does give you an idea of what I've been up to. Time to go do laundry, and study study study after that!
Leave a happy message. :)Labels: research, school, weather

Wonderful news!
It turns out I meet the requirements for applying to the University of Pennyslvania's College of Veterinary Medicine! (http://www.vet.upenn.edu/) Although I have my heart set on Ohio Sate, UPenn is a close second.
So here is a list of the veterinary schools I plan on applying to:
Ohio State University
University of Pennyslvania
Colorado State University
University of Wisconsin
Louisiana State University (maybe...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today was a really crappy day, and now my stomach hurts. I just can't seem to get out of this funk! I have so much to do, and yet I feel so tired and unmotivated...all I can think about is veterinary school. Fat chance I'll have of getting in if I don't get off my lazy ass and start studying.

9:58 PM
This is the first time in a long time that I'm actually showered and in my PJs before 10pm. I must say...it feels good.
I keep on thinking about all these clever, interesting, and insightful things to blog about, but then I forget them. So I guess this will just be another boring post about my not-so-exciting life.
This past weekend I went home to Cuyahoga Falls for a little rest and relaxation before finals. This is the last week of classes before spring break, and I am just about as unprepared for finals as one could possibly be. Am I worried? Nope. Not yet, anyway. Right now I'm just trying to find the motivation to get up tomorrow morning and go to work.
Things have actually been really good at work - I've been very busy entering data and making pretty graphs in Prism. I wish I had more time so I could actually pay attention to what I'm graphing, so that I might actually have something intelligent to say about the results. I'm so busy copying and pasting huge blocks of data and rushing over to Dr. B's office to show him that I don't ever get a chance to just look at the graphs and think about what they actually mean. Dr. B is usually great about talking about the results and explaining what's going on, but it would be nice to form an opinion about them on my own for once...
I'm still not sure about spring break. Hopefully I'll find the balls to ask Dr. B about it tomorrow. I would like to go home for the week and relax, but it sounds like they could use my help around the lab. It's a great opportunity, plus I need the money, but the homebody exhausted side of me just wants to get out of this crazy city! I'm going to Pittsburgh with my church friends the weekend before spring break, so that should be fun. Maybe I can go home the weekend after spring break? Hm.
My roommate makes me feel like such a loser. She went to three parties on Friday night, and I went home. I've just never been the party, loud music, drinking, large crowds type of girl. I don't think that's a bad thing...but apparently I'll be single for the rest of my life because of it.
This week is going to be b-a-d. I have two papers to write, plus three finals to study for...plus it's cold, snowy, and just plan CRAPPY outside! I feel like I'm going INSANE in this shitty weather. Get me OUT of this state, please! What I wouldn't give to be in Hawai'i right now.

Wow I feel like crap.
My attitude needs a serious readjustment. It's hard to be positive though when I completely feel like shit. I'm exhausted both physically and mentally, and I feel as though I could sleep for a week straight. However, I have a shit ton of studying to do for tomorrow's cell biology exam. I skipped molecular genetics today to work on my cell essays. I finished them about an hour ago only to find my printer out of ink. So I just returned from a trip to Staples, which is never good for my blood pressure. Columbus drivers have to be among the worst in the nation - seriously. I never had a fit of road rage in my life prior to moving to this damned city. All of a sudden I'm cursing fluently at other drivers and throwing things around inside my car. It can't all be me...
So I just ordered myself a large pepporoni pizza, courtesy of my "free pizza" coupon from Papa John's. They don't make my favorite pizza, but hey...it's free. Everytime I order Papa John's I immediately think of Papa Bear's Restaurant back in good ol'Jackson Township. They seriously had the best angel hair pasta this side of Italy (if that makes any sense). What I wouldn't give for a dinner at Papa Bear's right now! Sure they had that creepy stuffed bear at the entryway, but really it was all worth it. Wow, and their salad too...oh gosh.
So sue me - I'm very food motivated right now. I should be studying, but the pizza should be ready in like ten minutes so I'm not about to dive into cytoskeletons and motor proteins just yet. Pbbb.
On the "Grease!" front, Ashley Spencer did really well last night! She sang a duet with Max, and they were definitely my favorite couple. Very fun to watch! Whooooot Jackson Twp!
Awww! I found the Papa Bear's logo.

Now I'm feeling really nostalgic.

The white death has descended upon Columbus, Ohio. There's so much frickin' snow on the street it's impossible to go ANYWHERE. The main streets are plowed and salted, but that doesn't do any good unless you're able to actually get to the main streets in the first place. The side streets are an absolute mess!
Luckily, I was finally able to dig my car out of the mountain of snow. I was still stuck of course, but the nice neighbor guys gave me a push. I still hate driving anywhere, because I slide all over the road. This is extremely perilous when cars are parked on BOTH sides of the street. I really hate winter. Truly I wouldn't be upset if I never saw another snow flake again!
I have a cell biology exam on Tuesday that I'm so not ready for. Hence I'm procrastinating and updating my blog when I should be filling my head with (useless?) cell knowledge. On the up side, the "Grease: You're the one that I want" reality show is on tonight at 8! I'm really only watching it because I know Ashley Spencer, one of the Sandy contestants. Or at least, that's what I keep telling myself...
Shit, Desperate Housewives is on tonight too. When will I get any studying done? Oh well.
I'm also preparing a teaching for Friday night's bible study. My topic is, "does evolution refute the bible?". I'm super excited about it, because it's a subject I've thoroughly researched and believe in very strongly. Maybe I'll write an intelligent post about it later when I don't have quite so much to do. Like in ten years maybe?
I'm not complaining, though. Really, life is good! I'm actually learning to cook, I have two Broadway shows lined up in the next few months, and classes are actually going well. Valentine's day didn't even get me down!
I have to admit though...I have been a little depressed. There are a few friendships that have fizzled out, and I'm actually really upset about them. I know that's life...people grow apart and lose touch...but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I don't know how to approach these girls or relate to them anymore. I feel like it's useless trying to reach out, because they don't even care enough to reach back. Well, at least that's the feeling I get. Así es la vida, ¿verdad?
I really do have to get some studying in before I veg out in front of the tv. [[ Insert witty closing comment ]] Labels: friends, grease, school, weather

Well yuck. I have a molecular genetics exam on Monday, but my parents will be staying with me over the weekend. I know I won't get much studying done with them around, so I've been trying to study this week instead of waiting to cram on Sunday night (...will probably still happen...). Anyway, after class today I decided to stop at the RPAC for a healthy lunch and some good studying, instead of heading right home where a million distractions abound.
I ended up paying $7 for a small wrap (gross), and a small cup of tomato-basil-parmesian soup (just plain weird tasting). I felt so depressed eating my rather pitiful and bland lunch that I couldn't concentrate on studying. I kept thinking about oreos and pasta, and the yummy Italian subs at Mirror Lake Cafe for the same price. Not to mention the distraction that is well toned particularly good looking male athletes working out in the RPAC...
Lesson learned: There is no studying to be done at the RPAC. Eye candy abounds, but when it comes to real food...well, I'll stick with my ramen and oreos, thank you very much.
So I'm home now, and trying to find the motivation to pick up a textbook.
In other news, tonight I plan on trying out for Off the Lake's production of "Children of Eden" (yay Stephen Schwartz musicals!). I'm not particularly fond of singing in front of people because I have never been secure in my singing abilities. I've been told that my voice isn't too bad, so we'll see how things go. I've decided to sing the first two verses of "When I Meet the Wizard" from Wicked for my audition. I feel a bit sorry for my neighbors since I've been belting it out in preparation for this evening, and I'm sure they can hear me. After all, the walls in these apartments are paper thin. Hehe.
Hm...so after last quarter's hellish workload, I'm feeling pretty good about this quarter. Two of my classes are pretty challenging, but I've actually had a life outside of school so far this quarter. Then again, I haven't started one paper yet, and I haven't had any exams.
Still, the optimism is good for my mental health, as are the two furry felines who follow me around like shadows. I do so love my cats...
When I decide to start dating, it is absolutely imperative that my boyfriend know that my cats are my children. "Must love dogs AND cats" is a prerequisite for even approaching me with romantic intentions. :P
Animal haters beware: the girl does bite.
Okay, so enough rambling. I really do need to get some work done...
Plus there are some oreos that need eating.Labels: cats, food, school

Well, I guess Ohioans really have no right to complain about the weather. We've had such an unseasonably warm winter so far, but it had to end sometime...
Even so, I HATE the cold! It is absolutely freezing outside right now, and because my apartment is so frickin' old, there is ZERO insulation. It's so cold in here right now! I could turn up the heat, but after last month's gas bill I think I'd rather just suffer. I just want to burrow under a blanket and sleep. I have class at 1:30pm, so I have to leave soon. The fact that I have to walk half way across campus in the bitter cold does nothing for my motivation to go to class.
Grr.
FYI: This quarter I'm taking three classes: Molecular Genetics, Animal Cell & Development (Cell Biology), and American History 1860-present (LAST GEC class! Halleluah!).
Yikes, I have to run. It's almost time for Mol. Gen.....
Yay?Labels: school, weather
