Capital Hill.

I can't remember if it is spelled Capitol or Capital? Anywho....the past few days I have been touring. I have been to the following places so far: toured the Capital building, toured Library of Congress, Botanical Gardens, the National Gallery of Art, the National Air and Space Museum, and finally the Museum of Natural History. It was a blast but also very tiring.

Tomorrow is my first day at my internship and that will be really exciting!

I don't really know what to say at this point because I am tired and my brain is mushy.

And this is my touristy shot of the day. =)

My Apartment Part II.

Here are some more pictures of my kitchen, bathroom, closet, and old bedroom.

I think that I am going to go up the street to this cool deli and get some food.

My Apartment Part I.

This is the living room area.








These are some pictures that I took quickly of where I live. And this first set of images is where I am going to move my bed because my roomate said that I snored too much. =( But I love it. It is like an extra sun room kind of thing. The pictures look a little dreary because it is storming outside.

My adventure to my apartment.

So....when I got off of the last flight and tried to go get some food I just ran into another issue, apparently any electronic transfer / deposits are not accessible to me until after 7pm. And I was really smart and didn't make sure that I had enough cash to function. Ugh! So, I managed to find 2 something dollars and got a bagel and cream cheese and now I am starting to get really hungry and I will have to ask one of my roomates to let me borrow a meal's worth of money and pay them back later.

Anywho, so my shuttle guy came and picked me up in a van and I was with two other guys and another girl. The five of us just kind of sat there and everyone seemed to keep composure and just sat there and I was like "can someone give me a toy to play with!" I guess I realized that I am a nervous kind of traveler. I am no nonsense and I get from point A to point B and that is the only goal.

It was crazy!

NC airport.

Okay, well I am waiting here in the airport for my next flight which will be in a little over an hour. I have to admit that this morning I had a moment of panic. When I was sitting on the couch at 5 am trying to finish cramming the rest of my stuff in my luggage, I stopped and felt tears forming behind my eyes and my stomach was turning and I couldn't catch my breath and I thought to myself "I can't do this....I can not make this trip by myself and do all of this stuff and I am just going to cry the whole time from this point on." But then I got a grip and now I am better. =) It was like.....one minute of pure panic and fear and I thought I was going to have to tranquilize myself for the flight.

Anywho, I also had to walk across the WORLD to get from where the plane landed to where my next flight was going to be. And even though I have plenty of time I am very 'no nonsense' about it and I don't dilly dally.

Also, I made myself laugh when I checked my luggage because in addition to my suitcase and carry on and my one "personal item" I had my pink fleece blanket and I thought for sure they would be like "NO you can't take that on the plane!" and then in a fit of rage they would take it away from me and destroy it. So, of course they did not do that because they treat a blanket as being a kind of neutral item that does not count as any of that stuff. It just made me laugh because that was what I was most concerned about.....them taking away my blanket.

Well, I am going to go get some overpriced lunch.

more to come,

PS. The woman at security was not very nice. =(

Hot and Sweaty.

So, this is my last day here at the old Lexington home. I leave tomorrow morning bright and early to DC....I guess we will get to the airport at about 6am. Megan will be sleepy.

I still have a lot to do today and so I am just going to keep cleaning and working to get all my ducks in a row so to speak. I am kind of not using punctucation properly.....oh well. It is my blog and I will write as I wish. =)

So....I don't want to get shot. That is the goal!

More later...
Megan.

PS. all of the packing is making me hot and sweaty.

Packing and Instincts.

Packing is not such a daunting task right now. I made my list (of course) and I have checked things off as I have packed them and I am probably 2/3rds of the way through! Yes!

My theme for today is to listen to my instincts. I feel that I get myself into a frantic state of mind when I don't listen to my needs....so to speak. So today is all about listening and respecting what needs to be done and not ignoring myself and making me a priority and all that good stuff. Because....if I am going to survive in the big city I need to be healthy on all levels!

Also, I am going to make a quick trip to BG tomorrow and that will be good. I can see some people and finish up some cleaning / organizing in FAC for next year. Then stay the night with Jake which should be fun. =)

For now, I am going to go to the car and unload some stuff.

Sick.

So, I am officially pretty sick right now. Like....I went to the doctor and got some meds but I feel really bad and my stomach hurts a lot and my throat is sore and I am trying to eat some food but everything is making me feel sicker.

Bad news bears.

Megan is supposed to leave for DC on WEDNESDAY people. Can we wrap up this insanity right now!

Omg....I am getting a little upset with my body for turning against me.

Good Grief,
Megan

I will never survive!

So, I am really nervous because I have all kinds of things that I need to do before I leave and it doesn't seem that I will get it together. For instance, I am still trying to get my room and stuff in order and need to restock some of my pills....and go to the doctor for my 4th sinus infection. That really worries me, I will not be able to go to the doctor when I am in Washington so....we need a medical breakthrough ASAP!

No one gives a shit about my blog! I tell my sister and John about it and they do not respond!

Whatever, I am one sneeze away from Hospice over here....geesh.

There better be comments when I get back people!!

I MEAN IT!

Packing.

Okay, so here is my first post in my blogging experience. Yay! I feel like I might experiment with the font features.

Anyway, so anyone who has known me for a while should know about my love of packing and how I pack too early and it is an intense process. Well, I am leaving next Wendesday and I have just started making my list and gathering stuff. I think what makes it worse is that I am also trying to unpack all my crap from school into my tiny room and it is a mess. I always seem to get it together though.

Oh yeah! I just got done booking my flight and it was reasonably priced I though. It was less than $250 roundtrip with travelocity.com. Check it out! Just kidding...

Well...I suppose that is good enough for now. It will shock me if anyone reads these. hahaha
