free bird forever

This past week has been one of the roughest week I've experienced since my Junior year of high school. Just a week ago, one of my best friends from high school was found dead in a retention pond. He was the missing Purdue student and belonged to the Beta fraternity.
Pat was my first friend at Cathedral and really had a way of making people smile. He had the most contagious laugh and would always want to have a good time, no matter what. Pat had a goooofy smile and could literally brighten any room. Pat stole my heart from the day we met. He was also on senior retreat, which means we became even closer our senior year.
I feel guilty because I hadn't seen or talked to Pat in a really long time, and that honestly breaks my heart. I would do anything in the world to have one more day with him. Just to hear his laugh and see him smile... especially right now, when the sun is out and shining bright ( those were Pat's favorite days). I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't take anyone or anything for granted...

these next few days

So these next few days before midterms is kind of freaking me out. I know that I'm doing well in most of my classes but one class has me super stressed out. That being sociology. It is literally the most boring class I have ever had to take. I have no interest when I'm in class, I actually feel like a robot because all I do is type notes, after notes, after notes. I think this class relates back to class when we discussed the teaching styles of some professors. This professor sits in front of the lecture hall (which is maybe 350+ students) and reads straight from the powerpoint.
Now I know it can be difficult to keep an audience this size's attention, but I feel like we can do more than just read straight from the powerpoint and watch movies the whole time. I didn't do so well on my first test and I took all of the notes and did the study guide. I don't know what else to do for this class. I feel like going to class, taking notes, and doing the study guide should get me a good day; however, it doesn't quite do the trick... I don't know, I guess I'll try something different this time and see how it works out for me.

weekend of february 12-14, 2010

this weekend was literally one of the worst weekends i have ever had. i hate valentines day and school has been stressing me out lately, and not to mention all of the snow. i hateeee snow. lately i have been busy trying to stay up on my homework and studying for my exams. i've been going to the library atleast twice a week as well.
on another note, it's been getting easier with the passing of charles. there are still days when it is hard. and it's even harder for alex, but we're all supporting each other. except for this past weekend when some psycho crazy girl went nuts and tried attacking alex. it was the craziest thing i have ever seen.
hopefully this week is a good week and everything works out for the best. i'm ready for spring break more than anything and it's all i've been thinking about lately. i just wanna be on the beach with my best friends. this is all i've really got to blog about now... so see ya next time :))

1-30-10

so i'm writing today to basically get some stuff off of my chest... this past week my good friend passed away and it has been one of the hardest things to deal with. i have been trying to stay busy and i've tried to surround myself with friends; however, alex (my best friend) dated the kid for six years. i don't know what do or what to say. i have been trying to be strong and there for her. she is one of the strongest people i have ever met. i don't know how she does it (and i know this has nothing to do with our blog entries), buuuut, i have been thinking about all of this lately and it hurts....i didn't mean to make a depressing blog but i needed to vent....

MY BEST FRIENDS <3

My name is Morgan as most of you know. I am the only child to my mother; however, i do have two step brothers and two step sisters. I attended a private Catholic high school in Indianapolis. So far, senior year of high school has been the best year of my life. I have nine best girl friends who I would do anything for and I know they would do the same for me.

A story that can really show my personality at it's best would have to be anytime senior year at El Rodeo (which is this little mexican restaurant right by my house). Anytime that I would go to El Rods I'd be with at least two of my girlfriends after school and we would just laugh for an hour while eating chips and salsa...(one of my favorite foods). The reason I think this story can show who I am is because I love spending time with my friends and there has yet to be one time where i'm not with at least one of my friends. I also think it displays my personality because I love laughing and I love eating. Not only are these three things shown, but it was also always senior year that we would go there on half days or senior skip days.... whoops :P
