yeah that's right. i got a new job. i start training on thursday. which means i still have a couple more days of freedom. me and jacky are not currently hired at Goodies. gosh. it sounds like a porn shop, or a strip club. lol. but so does Wild Things, and that's where Ashley works. haha. lol. it's great.

my open house is this saturday. i'm not looking forward to it, but then again i am. i don't want to mingle with my family. i love 'em, but what do i say to people whom i havent' seen since christmas?

wednesday justine, sam, ed and i are road trippin' up to traverse for the day. hopefully it will be a nice day. i'm assuming it should be. today it was supposed to rain, but it just passed right over us. so yay!

hopefully i'll head to the beach today. get some sun. sounds like a plan

<3 megan

yeah. justine and i are going to The Drive's concert tonight seeing how we haven't been to one of their concerts yet. but it's at a weird spot, the same spot my graduation party is at. down at 5th avenue shelter house. that should be fun. i think i'll call jena to see if she wants to go too. hmm. but before this, i must shower. even though it's in the afternoon. there's nothing like a cold shower in the warm afternoon. well...i must be off.

yeah i walked up on stage saturday night and recieved my diploma. heck yessss! now it's on to bigger and better things with my life which will include going to west shore next year. not the greatest leap forward, but it's still a little jump. hopefully by the end of the summer i will have a job, and will have made enough money to rent an apartment with my friends. or at least have a job and made some money. the apartment can come later. yesterday was the first official day of summer [memorial day] and i started my day by marching in the parade. hey, there's nothing like getting up early in the morning to wave your flag around in the band, and to celebrate our veterans. while taps was being played i almost started crying. yeah i know i'm an emotional basketcase, but at least i have emotions and feelings. i just couldn't stop thinking of my grandpa's and of mr. youngbergs son-in-law who just passed away in iraq last week. it's terrible.

after the parade jena, emily, kristine and i went to go see madagascar. haha. its a great, cute movie. just a little side note, i think i'm never going to take my sister and cousin places ever again. one-my sister is wayy too hyper when you get food in her, and sometimes it doesn't even take that, two- they eat all of your popcorn in the theater! lol. so, i highly doubt i'm going to be spending a lot of time with psycho emily and whining kristine this summer. so if jena and i want to see a movie, we're gonna invite jacky and justine from now on.

i think i wrote enough. wait, one more thing, yeah i was pissed i didn't win that PSP at grad bash saturday night. lucky bobby and chelsea. gosh! i was soo looking forward to it too.

so tonight was my last youth group, as for the other seniors. i cried. go figure. i only cried when jena prayed for us, and when becca gave me a hug. becca, being the girl that doesn't ever cry, came up to me, and told me that me and the crew is the only reason why she goes to youth group. aww! that just made me cry even more. I LOVE YOU BECCA! we shared stories of youth trips and other numerous things. i had fun. and suprisingly enough, i didn't cry as much as i though i would. but next year i think i'm going to help out with youth group as youth staff. so hopefully that turns out how i want it to.

today also was the last concert of the year. i cried. lol. once again, go figure. i almost started crying when the color guard from different U.S. forces came out carrying the U.S. flag, and the Michigan flag during The Message on the Rock. geez. i'm so emotional. and then when i walked up to get my senior plaque, and jacky started crying, which got me crying. we brought mrs eagan a cow...haha...because in order for her to actually start music, and buy a bassoon, she had to sell her cow when she was young. so we brought her a cow. lol. and we got her a $400 gift certificate to nordstrom's (for shoes of coure) and then we got her a plasma tv. which i want for my own room. it was great. i'm going to miss everything about band and youth group.

time to go on and make more memories.

was amazing. in the beginning it was really slow though. it took me awhile to actually want to dance and stuff, but it was good. jenni was named prom queen, and sean was named king. i was really excited for jenni. she deserved it. i figured it was between justine and jenni. and jenni won. so i was happy. we went out to topo's before to eat. man, that pasta was gooood, but huuuuuuuge. i only ate like a quarter of it it was that huge. my highlight of the night was taunting the door men, which was jordan and tony, because they couldn't smile or anything...haha. so i told jordan, for a tip, i'd save him a dance. that was akward, but funny. during the dance justine left, i dunno, apparently to be with sam. i guess they got some kind of fling going on now. hmm.... then after the dance, me and beth went over to ganger's house and watched movies. i'm not a big party-goer. i'm sure i would of went to sams if he invited me, but i guess him and justine wanted to be alone. ah well. we watched troy, and i fell asleep in the comfiest chair EVER. and then went home at 4 in the morning. i had fun for the most part.

now today, being mothers day, i went out to vist the gramma. grammas doing good. i think that she hates being out at the house alone all day though, so that sucks. i'd visit her more often if i didn't have so much going on because of school. school sucks, but hey, after i graduate, guess what i'm doing, going to school! yay! sounds like a plan! i'm still weighing art school: kendall vs. university: grand valley. and really, i have no idea yet. i guess that's why i'm going to west shore, to hang out at home for the next couple of years, and do nothing, but study, and hang out with friends.

i think that that's enough.

well prom is tomorrow. yay! i'm excited. in an odd sort of way. i usually never get excited about this kind of stuff, but i guess with it being my last one, i'm thrilled. i'm going out to jena's with bec tomorrow so that she can do our hair, coming home, getting ready then a bunch of us are going out to eat at topo's. i haven't been there yet, but i hear they have amazing food. hopefully i won't have to spend an arm and a leg on a fricken drink either like i had to last year at pm steamers. geez. that's horrible. this is my last prom, so i'm going to make the most of it.

well i got my paper done, i just have to run it over to mr. joseph's house later so that it's in before 11:59pm. lol. he picks the worst times. but he's a good teacher. we watched hotel rwanda in his class the past couple of days and that movie makes me cry. its a tragic thing! i can't believe anyone would do such a horrible thing. i saw it in the theater with justine and cayla and i just about crapped my pants. that was horrific. i think one of the reasons why mr joesph showed it in english is so that us young people would get out and do something to help the world. "even a thousand miles starts with one step," to quote mr joesph. and it really gets me thinking. the same exact thing that happened in rwanda is happening now in darfur, sudan. i almost wrote my paper on it, but it probably would of gone on forever about this, and i had a limit of 10 pages. so, i think, for world studies, i'm going to write a paper on this. it's one step, it's just my choice whether or not i keep walking.

the drama class put on pippy longstocking today, and i sat with my kids from teacher aide. ricky drives me nuts, i'm so glad little jenna was there to keep me sane. shes a gorgeous little girl. but ricky would not settle down, and i'm about ready to flip on him, but i held it in. thankfully.

i'm good for today.

suprisingly enough, the art show was a hit. yeah my last week was really stressful with all that crap going on with school and everything, but i had an awesome end of the week. we (the art class) went to the art show at the ramsdell on friday. wow. everybody's stuffed looked so good! i was suprised to see that 6 of my pieces were in the show. maybe i'll get some pictures in here of some... i don't know though, we'll see. mrs e is really pressuring me to get into art school, but the only thing in my future right now is a community college. i had band festival yesterday. i was so fricken tired by the end of the day. although all of our bands got all ones in everything, so that's good. i thought we really screwed up a couple of songs though, but i guess not. so by the time we got home, i was so fricken hyper and tired at the same time. fricken thomas twisted my arm and it just about ripped off. god. i can't stand that kid. my sister and i stayed at jena's house last night so we could go to church in the morning. mason was baptized. that baby is so darn cute. and then tracey got mad at us because we didn't go to sunday school. oh well. it's not my fault mandy demanded that my sister and i go out to breakfast with them. haha. now here i am. i'm supposed to be doing my homework for english. but thats just not happening with this as a distraction. lol. in a few minutes i have to leave for student led youth group tonight. ugh. that just means i'll have to hang out with neil and thats another kid that i don't care for all that much. grreat. i better do my outline.

x .megan.

well i had a job interview today. i think it went well, but we'll see how things turn out. i'm excited though. finally, money! then jacky and i went to practice, cuz you know we are the best boys tennis team managers ever! lol. we hit with the J.V. team for awhile and we decided that we needed more practice. lol. this week is going to be really stressful. i've got outlines up the ass to do, and then this weekend is the art exhibit at the ramsdell, and i've got to get my fricken pillow finished before Friday. i'm not looking forward this weekend, ugh! and we have fricken band festival which adds to it even more. shoot. man. and then now i guess tomorrow night i have to babysit, and the kids are going to have to stay the night, which pisses me off cuz i've go so much to do. maybe i'll finally get paid though. hmm. i'm done.
