tuesdays ten

i got this idea from my sister on her blog, visit her blog here. so this is where i give yall a list of 10 of my pet peeves... most of them will be about college.

1. when i see girls all across campus decked out in sorority crap. (sorry to those of you who are/were in a sorority) but my god is it annoying! having a sorority tote, sweatshirt, and sweatpants on ALL AT THE SAME TIME is much too much pride.

2. the fact that my dorm is old. don't get me wrong, my dorms top notch on campus... but one problem with having a dorm is stuff breaks... and by stuff i mean pipes. apparently last weekend, a pipe burst in our bathroom... which leaked into my dorm. thankfully UK sent people out to clean our carpets. and thankfully nothing was ruined. if anything would have happened to my computer, there would have been a smack down.

3. not being able to fall asleep. im pretty sure everyone here has experienced this. you know when youre laying in your bed and really tired but your mind is restless so you toss and turn for a long time worrying and thinking about everything. this has happened to me soooooo much lately. last night i got into bed at midnight... i didn't fall asleep until 3. SUCK!

4. being really hungry. any member of my family will agree, when im hungry i turn into a gremlin. meaning i will be a complete jerk, yell, or just not talk and sit over in the corner and brood until i get some food. its been like this since i was a baby (says my mom) and it sucks. im now sitting in my dorm waiting to go pick up my food at pazzos (be jealous sister!) and DYING of hunger. it's really hard to write and being hungry angry at the same time. trust me.

5. fake tans. there is a girl in my math class that comes in every day darker and darker. unless you're flying to Australia every night and laying out then flying back in time for class, you're not fooling anyone. its 20 degrees outside and snowing. you're not fooling anyone, you look like an oompa loompa, you look like a fool, and you're slowly giving yourself cancer. quit it.

7. math! for the love of god! i do not or will not ever need to know x=y+b-mx. why am i spending my money and time on something i will NEVER use. i had a test in my math class today and i couldn't think of this one problem to save my life. on the top it said find x. after much time trying to figure it out, i ended up just circling x and writing 'found it'. im a rebel.

8. Brett Favre. the man is OLD. he USED to be a good quarterback. let it go people. i was getting so angry while watching my beloved Saints play on Sunday (by the way wasn't that the greatest game ever?!?! i lost my voice from screaming so loud!) They never showed the Saints on the TV, instead they just talked about Brett Favre and his age, etc. I got so annoyed that i printed this out...



yep. it say 'favre on the ground'. i got the idea from a poster i saw someone holding at the game. every time he got sacked or knocked over, i would add another tally. fyi, he was hit 12 times. :)


time to go sit in your wheelchair old man, and leave the football to the boy that really know how to play...


hes so much younger and SO much cuter!

7. when people WrItE lIkE tHiS. every other letter is capitalized. you look like a loser and like you belong on the jersey shore.

8. distance. i REALLY hate being away from all my family and friends. i wish i could just fly to Florida, or VA, or Texas, or California, or SC to see my family because were all spread apart. distance sucks.

9. people being loud when im trying to sleep. is it really necessary to run down the hall at 3 a.m and be shouting and laughing? its not funny. in fact it makes me want to kick you in the shins.

10. my iPod. i've had this thing for 4 years and for about a year or so, its been horrible. it freezes ALL of the time, has a 2 hour battery life, and wont play 50% of my songs. thankfully, with gift cards and money for my birthday (thats February 8th!) i'm going to go and by a touch. I CANNOT WAIT. and that same weekend, i get my MacBook. I CANNOT WAIT!!!!! bye bye Dell desktop and crappy iPod.

well those are my ten pet peeves. hope you enjoyed them! i get to go home tomorrow after babysitting (im skipping two classes on Thursday, don't judge). i get to hang out with my friend Kris on Thursday and then Friday im driving up to University of Dayton to hang out with Jessie! I can't wait. Then it will be back home on Saturday and hanging out with my fam! Can't wait. it's going to be a great weekend!

oh and did i mention that the Saints are going to the SUPERBOWL!? its destiny! they belong to be there and i cannot wait to see them play on Feb. 7th. did i mention that the Superbowl is the day before my birthday? if they win, that will be the best birthday present ever and it'll make me do this...



hope you guys have a great weekend! ill post some pictures of my weekend next week!

love love love,

sweet disposition...

hello friends! i hope you guys had a fabulous break! sorry i didn't get a chance to write on this blog at all... i forgot and was just too busy. but now we will catch up.

this break with sooooo much fun! seeing friends, hanging out with my family, going to FL, christmas!, lots of laughter, and oh so much more! the first half of break was spent recovering from lack of sleep, hanging out with family and friends, and my beloved cat. it doesn't get much better than that! then about a week into break, the family and i drove down to FL. more like my parents drove while i slept in the back seat. :)

Florida was absolutely WONDERFUL! i did NOT want it to end. being with my family is always a blast. we ate delicious homemade food, watched football, laughed until our stomachs hurt, and played tons of Halo (correction... just me and Andy haha).

Here are a few pictures...






as you can tell, i only whipped out my camera for the beach and forgot about it for the rest of the week. my moms got all the other pictures.

three great things happened during this trip:

1. i performed the entire dance of the single ladies music video for the family. once for Shannon and Andy, then the rest of my family heard them laughing and came to see what was up. then i was forced to perform it again. i know what youre thinking, Morgan, you know the entire single ladies dance?! answer: no. i put the video on my phone and watched the video and danced along. i even had the outfit on. but actually they were just tights and a wifebeater. nevertheless, it was hilarious. my mom has pictures, maybe ill put one up one day, MAYBE ;)

2. on our last night in FL, Andy and I went to see the movie...

AVATAR! if you haven't seen this movie, DO IT! theres a reason its the second highest grossing movie of all time. its AMAZING! i absolutely love the love story of...

Jake and Neytiri. i literally left that movie wishing i was blue and running around the jungle on a big giant bird. who wouldn't right!?

3. CHRISTMAS! it was a wonderful Christmas! I got an amazing North Face jacket from my parents, clothes, cheerwine, movies, etc. all the presents I gave were a hit and everyone loved them! success!

After coming home from FL, it was New Years Eve. I went over to my friend Ross' house and celebrated with the old crew. it was a blast! i didn't want the night to end! here are a few pictures...





Again, sorry for lack of pictures. a majority of the pictures are on ross' camera. but as you can tell, it was a very fun night! (dont get all excited that i'm kissing two boys cheeks. theyre both just good friends :))

while on break, i did something that i vowed that i would NEVER do.


i started watching Lost. I wanted to see what the hype was all about. and i'll admit... its a good show. the first season was really awesome and now i'm in the beginning of the second. for the last week of break this is what i did between midnight and 4 or 5 in the morning...



thats my cat Kobe, sitting on my lap, watching Lost with me. he loved how i'd lay with him for hours upon hours at night and not move because i was watching Lost. isn't that just the sweetest!?

so far, i'm not gonna lie, i'm Team Jack/Kate.


isn't that picture just adorable!?

now before my mom and sister disown me, i said SO FAR. so far in the show Sawyer is acting like a bit of a punk but i can see him becoming a better guy. and Jack has cried about 5 or 6 times in the show so far, and who doesn't love a boy that shows his feelings?! haha and can't forget, hes a doctor!

as i get into the second season i'm starting to get a little confused and weirded out. why does black pixie dust just jump up out of the ground/make loud noises and kill people? couldn't they have picked something more scarier then black dust?! and entering numbers into a computer to save the world or whatever? kinda weird, but its Lost. i'll just go with the flow.

all in all, it was a very successful winter break and didn't want it to end. i started back at school on Monday and so far so good. the new schedule this semester is.

Monday & Wednesday
9:30 a.m - 10:45 a.m. Anthropology 101
11:00 a.m.- 12:15 p.m. Math 108/Math 109

Tuesday & Thursday
11:00 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Math 108/ Math 109
12:30 p.m - 1:45 p.m. Biology (Human Ecology)
2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. English 102

in case you don't understand the two math course thing, let me explain. in order to hurry up and get done with math forever, i'm taking a dual course. half the semester is split up for Math 108 and the other half will be 109. i get credit for two classes and everything. we meet Monday-Thursday instead of two days a week. this class will probably be the death of me.

thats about it! i hope you guys enjoyed this new blog. i may or may not be writing tomorrow. :) hope you guys had a great holiday break and an AMAZING 2010!

love love love,
Morgan

title song of the week:

Sweet Disposition by the Temper Trap. i absolutely LOVE this song at the moment and listen to it constantly. it reminds me of summer. being on the beach or simply riding in your car with the music blaring and the windows rolled down) if you get a chance, listen to it. i doubt youll be disappointed!
