update!
I may start updating this again...well...or I could be saying that because I'm (trying) to study for a biochem test on thursday and this is a decent distraction. Wouldn't you people like to hear about vet school? I'm sure you would! I wonder how easy it is to upload a pic from my phone straight to this blog. do you know? hmmm...well...will pick this up again soon, (really. except that I actually do need to study because I have a quiz friday and tests on thursday and friday)Meredith
not really a title
It's interesting how often "religious" people are ignorant people. I'm not lumping all religious people into a group of ignorant people, but I just find it interesting how many people enjoy not questioning and mindlessly following. Just a thought. (Has a source, but don't want to point it out) I also get really annoyed with people who blindly follow (and vote) with one political party. I realize that if you belong to a party, then you will have certain values and will generally support that party's candidate, but I hate the people who are like, "I'm a [Republican or Democrat] so I'm voting for [McCain or Obama]" without really knowing the candidate's approach to issues. Just voting for them because they are that party's candidate. annoying. So I went to New Orleans last Tuesday and flew to Bermuda on Wednesday. It was a really fun vacation. Bermuda was much more expensive than I knew, but I really enjoyed exploring the country. We went to Hamilton, St. George's, the Dockyard, Horseshoe Bay, etc. The "Bermuda pink sand" was lovely and the water was amazingly clear. It always surprises me to see the beautiful clear water at the shore turn into turquoise then bright blue as it gets deeper. It is very pretty and I took lots of pictures of the ocean. Mom is moving to Dallas around August 15, so I'm going to quit work a few days before that. I think (?) we're going to have a garage sale the weekend before that. I'm going to Baton Rouge the first weekend of August and Kevin and I are going to drive up to Shreveport on Monday the 4th for a wedding on the 5th. so that's exciting. I should be back in Baton Rouge sometime during the week of the 15 (though at the beginning of that week, I'll be in Dallas helping mom move into the new house) and LSU starts on the 25th. this summer went pretty quickly and it's amazing how all of my weekends seem full. IF YOU ARE IN LAKE CHARLES: please call! I'll hang out! it'll be fun, yo. -Meredith
bonjour
Hey!! So how are your summers going??Let's begin with the job situation. I found a couple of jobs...I am just waiting for them to begin. I am working at Arts Camp (the one at S.J...that pretty much everybody went to..I went for 3 years) as an assistant. I don't know what subject that I am assisting with, but I put down that I wanted to work with kids in grades K-2 and my preferential subjects were: 1) Ceramics, 2) Photography, and 3) Mosaic. Not that I know anything about Mosaic. I thought it sounded interesting...Anyway, I am also working at my uncle's veterinary clinic again this summer. I didn't think that I would be doing that because I thought all of the jobs were taken, but then he offered me to begin next week. so I start tuesday. I am making a cake tomorrow for the Great American Bake Sale. I got a star-shaped cake pan and things like that...will post a picture of it when I'm done. whoo. Going to see Sex and the City with Robin tomorrow. I'm enjoying all of these good movies coming out this summer. Kelli, when are you coming home from...Oregon, right? not stalking you on xanga or anything...heh...Anyway. Have a good weekend!! Talk to you later,-Meredith
(sort of) friday 5
I got a friday5 set of questions from here and decided to fill out the answers. Even though it's Tuesday. Oh well. tuesday5 it is, then. - What's your favourite TV network? Food Network
- If you could create your own channel, what would it be? A combination of Food Network Shows [Ace of Cakes, Good Eats, Food Network Challenge, Iron Chef, etc] and shows about Broadway. Also, late at night, my network would change (kind of like nickelodeon changing to nick-at-nite) to show good older shows like: I Love Lucy, The Brady Bunch, The Cosby Show, Roseanne, Full House, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, etc. Pretty much like Nick-at-Nite minus the crappy shows that they show constantly. I like movies, but I'd try to shy away from them because I hate it when you miss the beginning and can't watch the rest of the movie when you missed the first 15 minutes. Oh, and I'd also have random marathons of Hey Arnold! and Doug. ooooh, and Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters, The Office, Project Runway, Top Chef, and Flight of the Conchords. My tv channel would be combining good shows from other networks, I guess.
- What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back? Hey Arnold and Doug...and Muppet Babies. yeeeeah!
- What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show? ...people will hate me for this, but Ren and Stimpy. I always hated that one and could never understand how people could watch that crap.
- What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD? let's see...I already own several seasons of: Degrassi: the Next Generation, The [British] Office, House, Sex and the City, Scrubs, and Flight of the Conchords. Really want networks to make DVD sets of Doug and Hey Arnold (I know, I'm obsessed. I really miss those shows and want to watch them again!!) Also want to buy the sets of the (American) Office.
That's it!! see you later,-Meredith
yeeeeah!!
Finals are almost finished!!!! Yes!! Anyway, I added Twitter, so you can see more...frequent [okay, and shorter, but so what] updates athttp://twitter.com/merehowdyIf you have twitter, please let me know so that we can add each other and stalk way more efficiently. so I still haven't figured out what I'm doing for the summer...but I'll be in Lake Charles from Friday to probably Monday and then I'm coming back here. I'll probably end up driving back to Lake Charles at the end of next week and then I'll actually figure out what I'm doing for the summer. For now, though...I'm being lazy. which is nice. Lots of good movies coming out...summer movies you want to see? mine are...[in no particular order other than the order that they come to mind]1) The Dark Knight2) Iron Man3) Speed Racer4) Mamma Mia!5) Chronicles of Narnia- Prince Caspian6) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull7) Sex and the City: The Movie8) Kind of want to see Baby Mama...did anybody see it? thoughts? 9) WALL-EI can't think of anything else now...any other movies that look interesting? Anyway, hope that your ends of semester/beginnings of summer are great!! -Meredith
