9th Week: Success

It is hard to believe that I am halfway through fall semester of my sophomore year. I am capping off the successful week by skipping class tomorrow and going to the zoo with my friend, Serengeti. I have had two midterms this week and I have two more next week. My exam in the lab portion of my anatomy class went (I would like to think) well and the exam in the lab portion of my microbiology class did not go as well, but still pretty decent. Last night, Wednesday the 28th, I went with 3 friends to the opening night for the Portland Trailblazers’ 2015-16 season and they started the season off with a win! Their 15th consecutive winning home opener, longest streak in NBA history. (Can you tell that I like basketball? Especially the Blazers. I pride myself in knowing facts that are pretty much pointless but interesting to me none the less).

Friday’s trip to the zoo kicks off Halloweekend! At the zoo, we get to watch elephants squish giant(!!) pumpkins (check out the Oregon Zoo’s Facebook for cool pics). Then there will be a party that one of the fraternities on campus is holding along with some hanging out with my sorority fam. Then on Saturday, a group of us are going down to Monmouth for a Halloween scavenger hunt and then off to Oregon State in Corvallis for the real fun that night. It is going to be nice to get away for the weekend and have a little bit of fun.

Have a fun (and maybe a little spooky) Halloween 🙂

Happy New Year!

It is around 11:15 am here on the first day of 2015 and I just wanted to say Happy New Year! I rang in the new year with my friend Serengeti, her family, and a bottle of moscato. Other than that, it was a fairly uneventful night, and that is totally fine with me. I woke up this morning to bright sunlight in my face and a slobbery kiss from their dog, Koko. I hope that is a sign for a very awesome new year. I currently have no photos from New Year’s Eve, so I figured a family photo from Christmas would suffice. This holiday season has been so amazing and I am so thankful that I have an amazing family, a job, wonderful friends, and I am attending one of my dream schools. Well, I am going to sign off now so I can fully recover from the events of last night and prepare for the Rose Bowl today (GO DUCKS). I wish you all nothing but the best for this year and the years to come.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something. -Neil Gaiman

Trial Run

Well, here goes nothing… my first blog post. I’m not exactly sure what this will turn into, or if anything will even come of my blogging, but I thought that it could be exciting and give me something to do when I am procrastinating on my homework.

My hope is to talk blog about exciting things that won’t bore people to death. Right now I’m a first-year student at Linfield College in the beautiful town of McMinnville, Oregon. The first semester is winding down, and I’m looking forward to some snow, adventure, and spending some quality time with my family and friends. Eventually, I hope to write about my travels and my experiences in life to possibly help others in anyway that I can. There’s much of the world that I haven’t seen, but when I get there, I will let you know.

Like the title of my blog, I am really looking to discover myself; I am Looking for Morgan.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart. -Confucius
