Privileged

I’ll admit it; I have officially become hooked on Gossip Girl. Thanks to nothing else being on TV this summer, and me having too much time on my hands, I have fallen in to the latest CW trap.

It was while I was watching the latest episode tonight when I heard my first intro to a new show coming this fall to CW called Privileged. My ears perked up when I heard the announcer say, “Meghan Smith didn’t know what she was getting into..”

Meghan Smith is the lead character?? No way!! I was certain I had misheard, so I went online to read a synopsis of the new show. And sure enough – I had heard right! OK, so the name isn’t spelled the same, and the story isn't exactly my life, but it is still pretty cool to see my maiden name used for a main character. And if I imagine hard enough – I can make the synopsis below work for me at 23 too…

"Twenty-three-year-old Megan (Meghan) Smith has a Yale (Davis) education, a relentlessly positive attitude and a plan to conquer the world of journalism (business), despite the fact that she is currently slaving away at a tabloid rag (boring financial job). Meg(h)an’s plan is thrown off course when, in one whirlwind day (summer), she gets fired (decides to look for a new job), meets cosmetics mogul Laurel Limoges (finds out about NOVA) and becomes the live-in tutor for Laurel’s twin teen granddaughters in the heady Palm Beach world of wealth and power (goes to Osaka to teach English). The girls (students), Rose and Sage (Saichi, Fukimi, Yuki, to name a few), are beautiful (short), rebellious (shy) and less-than-thrilled with their new tutor (because she is not a Western male), but Meg(h)an is determined to win them over as she enjoys the perks of her new job – breathtaking private suite (sleeping on the floor), gorgeous convertible (bike with squeaky breaks) and live-in chef Marco (English roommate Maja)…."

I can’t wait for this new show to start, but in the meantime I need to go watch some more trash because CSI Miami is on now....
