relaxed, not rested...

Woah! Ok. It's been a long, long, lllllooooonnnngggg time since I have updated y'all. My bad. Please forgive me.
So - I'll make this brief. I don't even know who reads this, so shoot me a comment if you want to hear more about my crazy life in the past month - I'll gladly tell you!
Sooo, finals came and went, and the very next day I had to move out of the dorm, but the very next day after that my best friend in the whole wide world (and it's a big one, you can ask her - it took her many many hours on a plane to get here) came to visit me! Sam(antha) and I took a trip down to Margaret River for a few days - explored the beach and the wineries, headed back up for a day in the City of Perth, and a final day biking around Rottnest Island - the highlight was seeing wild dolphins!
We hopped on a plane the next day up to Singapore to spend some time with my dad and step-mom and had a wonderful time walking around the zoo, bird park, and also the night safari. We rode on the world's largest ferris wheel and celebrated our birthdays in China Town and Little India together. We had some amazing food and some good laughs at how hot and HUMID and STICKY it was.
After a week in Singapore and two weeks with Sam, it was time to hop on a plane back to the states, where we parted at the airport (soon to be reunited though). As this was the first time I was back in the states in nearly 6 months, and the last time I will be there for at least a year, I aimlessly ran around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to spend as much time with my mom, brother and (now wife) Marie, and all my friends. I managed to squeeze in a camping trip, a trip up to Malo's to visit the camp I worked at last summer, and a Stroke 'n Stride race at the Boulder Reservoir.
Of course, the highlight of my time in Colorado was my brother's wedding. We had perfect (but very hot) weather and I got the honor of being a part of the bridal party as a bridesmaid. There were good times to be had by all, good food to be eaten, and of course a brother-sister dance (though we're not so good). I am so excited for my brother and can't wait to see where life leads him and Marie.
Then, as usual - Megan was off on a plane again. Haha. It seems to be what I do best. Jet-set. I am excited to be back here in Fremantle for round two, though I know I will really miss my family back home. Classes started today, and I am already procrastinating on homework (just kidding - I really don't have anything to do). The new group of Americans I live with are pretty fun and nice and I can't wait to get to know them better, though overall I am excited to catch up with my Aussie friends and start living more of a "life" here rather than a 5 month vacation.
I cannot wait for summer to come and the beach weather to be back, but my classes seem pretty cool (after the stress of being dropped from needed ones and added to unnecessary ones) and it's all working out. Yay!
Well, that is all for now. There are so many neat stories I have and I am thankful for my time back home - relaxing yes, restful - not at all. So - if you want to know more about my 4 week vacation - hit me up! I'm all game for telling you everything you want to know!
Toodles for now!
Megsie (as I am now called at my new job!)
