Epic Summerfest Night

So My last day at summerfest started with me really not wanting to go. I wanted to see the bands but I was having a lame day, focused on writing a cover letter and being tired.
But the fest waits for no one and Sarah was meeting me there!

I got to summerfest and noticed that it wasn't too busy like last weekend, plus number one.
I walked over to Big Data who were pretty cool. They had some good energy on stage and the music was danceable! Then as I was sitting listening to Big Data, I got completely taken out on my left side.  It was so fast that I didn't even see it coming and then I look in the direction of the impact and notice a smiling brown haired girl. SARAH!! I was so happy to see this crazy lady!

And this is why I missed her. First, she made me get my face painted, which I wasn't too upset about cause I love stuff like that. So we had awesome neon, tribal paint on our faces. Then, we are over at the small KNE stage listening to a local band when Sarah suggests going on the ferris wheel. Im very hesitant since its a bit of money and seems kinda lame but she's practically begging me to go, so I give in. We wait in a looooong line and end up in the same cart thing as two little girls who were super sweet. Once we got to the top of the ferris wheel, we looked around and saw a TON of fireworks from all the surrounding towns! There were at least ten different sets of 'works that we saw and it was super cool! It was money well spent!

After the ferris wheel, it was time for me to go to Robert Delong. Sarah and her friends stopped by for a bit before checking out some other acts but I was more than happy enjoying the concert alone. The atmosphere there was pretty chill (except for the group of teens who were going crazy in the corner) and it wasn't too packed, I got up pretty close in the standing room. At one point during the concert, some girl walked up to me and offered me a glowstick. I offered her my arm and she put it on. I said thank you and continued to dance.

Also the music was INSANE. In a good way. He was a DJ but was super creative about it. It was just him and he played the drums, keyboard, multiple synths and sang. He used a joystick, x-box controller and wii controller to make different noises, it was so interesting! I couldn't stop myself from dancing because the music just got inside my body. The rhythm and bass just snuck into your soul! I couldn't help but have a grin on my face for the whole concert as I watched him and looked around at all the other painted faces moving in the crowd. Ive never done drugs and after this concert, I don't understand why you would ever want to. I was so high on life and happy that I didn't need them.

I left that concert so jazzed that I rode my bike so fast over to the apartment where people were hanging out. I walked in, sweaty from the bike, with my face painted and a glowstick and yelled "The party is here!" To which my friends just said "heeeeeeey!" with hugs. The fact that I looked like I had just came from a rave or something didn't even phase them. This is why I love my friends.

"Meghan, it seems as if you got a little something on your face..."

Dear Old Friend

Dear old friend, I think about you a lot. As I go about my day I think about how something might make you laugh or say aloud an inside joke that no one understands. I smile as I remember a fond memory. But then I go about my day. At night is when I think about trying to reach out to you again. About what I should have said or what I should say to try to understand why we are no longer close. I come up with scripts in my head about a letter I should write you or a voice mail I should leave, so you know how much I miss you. Sometimes I get angry. Why did this friendship not last forever like I was sure it would? What did I ever do to be treated this way? How could you just leave me alone? Do you even care how I am? I ask myself these questions over and over. I get mad. Then I think. I think that you must not have done this to hurt me; sometimes people just drift apart. That you probably think about me sometimes too. That perhaps, sometimes you smile at an old memory we share. Gut...

Runners High

At 12:30pm, I stepped outside for the first time all day. I hadn't really even left my room until I realized that if I didnt go outside, I probably would bum it all afternoon. I put my running shoes on and bounced outside. I started walking and after I got myself settled, I started to run. After being cooped up, those first few steps of an outdoor run is so magical. The feeling of freedom, fresh air and adrenaline is fantastic. I always have a mad smile and excitement for being able to move so fast. After my first few minutes of running, thats when the exhaustion sets in. What keeps me going longer, is adventure. Do I like running? Not really. Do I enjoy exploring? Obviously. I decided to check out a new part of the power line trail that I have not seen before and ran up the hills, or on straight path, and walked down hills. I went to the beginning of the trail and back again, smiling at the other people who were also out for their afternoon walk/bike. The sun came out and it...

Longest Day Ever

This is the longest day of my life. Literally. No, like actually literally. Or maybe a bunch of the shortest days of my life...anyway... We started off in Wisconsin, not early but it wasn't leisurely either. Then the bus to the airport in Chicago where we were to catch our first flight to shanghai. When we checked in we were informed that we were given an illegal flight through china on our way back home. Apparently you can't even have a layover in an airport for longer than 24 hours in China. The airline was nice about it and helped us in anyway they could but they told us we would have to call our booking agency because it was their fault, not the airline itself. Good thing we gave ourselves plenty of time in the airport because we needed all of that time to figure it out. I called the company that gave us our tickets and the first thing the gentleman said was that we would have to pay a change fee on top of the price for the new ticket. I was not happy with that so I inquir...
