Boreing

Well, what to say about today?

It was good. I like to clean my room, give away Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes to those in my hall, and chat with new friends. Also, cat naps, food, and Ward Prayer and mission calls, and lunch with an old, but new dear friend made Thursday  grrrreat.

 84th BIrthday Celebration with the most amazing grandfather I could conjure in my mind, but who actually exists, Leon R. Hartshorn. I loved spending last night with my family, and my BCF Maddie!

{Before I went to the St. Mary's game, this happened:}

{Setting: Guru's on Center Street, Provo Utah, around 10:15 am for Breakfast with my visiting mother } 

As we ordered our food, and before we sat down, I noticed a man with a St. Mary's Basketball shirt on, working on a laptop. He, apparently a visitor from out of state and possibly hanging out at this local eatery before the big game tonight. We ate our food, and I continued to take a glance every now and then. As it was time to go, I headed up to the cash register to get a bag for our food, it was then I seized the opportunity. As I breezed past to the exit, this is what occurred, essentially:

Me: "Welcome to Cougar Town. (with an added sly rock and roll hand gesture)."

He registers, then a solid "HAH! chuckle chuckle"

I left, went about my day. As I just retold my tale here in the CougarEat, I googled the man in suspect:

What even is this life?!
Peace out. 

RAH RAH RAH RAH RAH the game is 9 PM Tonight at the Marriott Center, here in the one and only cougar town, PROVO UTAH! 

BYU."

 I went to the game solo, found some new Korean exhange students BFF's. We lost, but I always have a blast in the student section! 

"Isn't Mary's a Girl's name?" Low blow, but effective.

 That is Randy himself there on the court, in the suit, to the left!

You can now leave Cougartown.

 ESPN stuff happening behind me! celeb statuss

 My kind of dereanged face results in the discovery of mission calls!

Target fail. But now, I have an elephant humidifyer. 

So, this is quick, but I wanted to check in! Plus, yesterday was also great because I had lunch with my twin brother and mom at Zupa's and also got some new things at Targetty.

Life is swell, when you make it swell. 

Love,

"Everything has changed"

Today was so wonderful, but had its awful moments. Nothing a good sleep and medication can't fix!

Goodnight worlds.

The 7th Day

{I'm sorry- everything is glitchy right now but I'll have things figured out eventually}

The first day of winter semester 2013 was a smashing success. The only visual evidence of the day is as follows:

I woke up bright and early at 8:30 for no good reason at all. I walked(!) to school in this uncomfortable weather and went to:

• Geography 120
• I'm looking forward to this one. (Plus the professor actually looks like a professor with the vests and the glasses and the enthusiasm).
• Writing 150
• Made some new friends in this itty bitty class. We meet boardroom style in the JFSB
• Religion 122 (B.O.M. part II)
• This will be the greatest Book of Mormon class yet, I can feel it!

Then I had time to head back and then saw a few friends. Next was:

• Beginner Ballet (with Becksh Vancsh!)

I ate dinner, washed bedding, practiced this song, cleaned and organized, decorated, watched Downton Abbey and Freaks and Geeks, and ate more food. Trader Joe's, you've done me well. 

Love,

MMA

I love college...

This much!

Really, the eyes say it all.

-New dorm (hotel I call it)

- New classes start at 11 am today

- New friends to be made!

Ain't it swell?

Winter 2013? Come at me!

I'm so ready.

Love,

MM

the big, comfy weekend

My weekend was a lazy dream. I ate my momma's delicious food, snuggled, and hardly left my comfy bed. I watched all of the first season of Pushing Daisies, which besides Freaks and Geeks, makes me most depressed that it was so short lived. Ned the Pie-Maker AKA Lee Pace, you have my heart. I also was able to paste and glue all of the various sentimental memorabilia that I have collected this year into my sketchbook. Alright, it's scrapbooking and I'm proud. I also saw Lincoln in theaters and was in awe. Not just because Lee Pace was also in it as a crazy politician, but that it was just so captivating. I would definitely recommend it. I also rekindled my love for The Series of Unfortunate Events. Easy, clever reads those books. I also managed to condense four boxes of papers and things I've saved since childhood into one. 

 I have (had) boxes of gems like these. Now, exceeding age gaps appear to be a trend according to this post. (When I wrote this the celebrity in question was 13 years older than I was and this guy is similar) Let's call these two isolated incidents.

I'll be back with more Christmas break recollections, Happy last day of 2012 everyone!

Love,

Megan Marie Carroll Pace Pine (okay, you caught me. make it three large age gap celebrity crush isolated incidents.)

Twelve Twelve Twelve

I thought I would commemorate that I have lived on all of the coolest dates of the century (and most popular wedding days). As well, it just so happened that I was one of the lucky few million who were born at the end of 1993 and most of 1994 who had the year be the grade in school that you finished. It's very handy when it comes to rememebering where I was in say, 2003. Oh, just keeping it real watching  School House Rock in Mrs. Johnson's 3rd grade class. See? Pure luck.

As a tribute, here's what was going on every technically memorable day of the last 12 years:

01/01/01

Well, it was almost January when this photo was taken. Here's my homemade Jessie costume that rocked the first grade.

2/2/02

The Olympics was the most exciting thing this year for sure! I was only 8, so I never went to any of the events, but I saw the torch, collected pins, and went downtown to see the festivus. My 2nd grade teacher volunteered throughout the month, so I thought that was the greatest thing ever. 

3/3/03

Barbie lunchbox, headband for the growing out of bangs, and an affinity for blue, it must be the third grade.

4/4/04

I cannot find any pictures of the 4th grade since I'm limited to what I have on Facebook, but 4th grade was hoppin' and my height increased.

5/5/05

5th grade beach party- and I thought I was the hottest thing in town in my pink skort, and when we went to Lagoon that day without a chaperone. I also remember Gwen Stefani's B.A.N.A.N.A.S. being the most popular song of the day.

6/6/06

(Screenshot from Facebook, ignore the floating arrow)

Around June of 2006, my close friends threw me the most exciting going away surprise party. They picked me up, took us to McDonald's to get our dinner, then there was a table set up on top of one of the pedestrian street overpasses. There was fancy plastic china and camping chairs, and I thought "Bucket list complete!". All through childhood I thought it was so cool to have a dinner party on top of one of those ever since I saw it for myself. After we cleaned up, we headed to Sear's and had our pictures taken. Above is just one gem out of the bunch. We then went to Calli's house and had fondue, they gave me gifts, and we swam in her pool. That was seriously one of the best days of my pre-teen life, because I felt so loved.

7/7/07

A year later, I had finished my first year of Canadian middle school in the land of Grade 7. I came back to Utah for the month of July, and this was taken during my brother Matt's missionary farewell. I remember this being the most popular day of the year for weddings!

8/8/08

So '08 was the year I was in 8th grade, but close to August of '08 I was starting the 9th grade, braces and all. I got my fresh new haircut, and I was ready to conquer my last year at Willow Park Junior High.

9/9/09

September of '09 was the beginning of high school. I started grade 10 at Central Memorial Middle School in the Drama program, but after three weeks I switched to my designated school. I now could have the greatest girl around by my locker buddy and also support my face being green and pose for this wicked picture before the Halloween dance. 

10/10/10

This year's date was one of my favorites, since October is my favorite month. I met this chick in the registration line of grade 11 and we've been partners in crime ever since. This photo was also taken before the Halloween dance and we raided her vintage jewelry collection and called ourselves Misc. and Ellaneous.  

11/11/11

This photo was taken a month before 11/11/11, but I remember trying to make a good wish that day. This photo was as close as I got, and was from my 18th hipster themed birthday party. What a night that was.

12/12/12

I thought I would pay tribute to the past 12 years with a good dose of Pop Art from Photobooth. 

This day, the most exciting thing is taking my American Heritage Final. Then it's roommate Christmas and more studying but finals end tomorrow!

Oh boy, the peace sign. My defense is that it's supposed to be a 12. 

Farewell easy days to remember, it's been a journey- I mean look, you've seen me come from bangs to no bangs,  and all twelve years of school. It's a big deal.

Love,
