Mel's Puddle of Thought

"... And I have to speculate that God himself Did make us into corresponding shapes like Puzzle pieces from the clay :: from "such great heights", track two on the postal service's album "give up" :: Thursday, December 19, 2002 Yay!!! I have a Job!!! Woo Hoo!! I'm going to be working at the UCI Med Library accross the street from The Block. I'll still be making thirty dollars a week less than my needed quota, but at least it's something. I'm still waiting for Barnes and Noble to get back to me. They said probably by tomorrow. and I got to go mall shopping with my dad, which is even better than grocery store shopping with him. and tonight he's taking me out for Sushi. and I got to talk to Tom last night for insane amounts of time about insanely good things. Plus everyone is coming home soon. Hurrah!! this written by Mel at 9:48 AM Monday, December 16, 2002 Okay, so I woke up this morning, and I thought it would be a really good day. It was, mostly. I got to sleep in past 6:00 (yay!), I had a dream about Tom that didn't end in mayhem, and I got to Volunteer at Saddleback for almost four hours. (Which means I got to recount the trama of my Thanksgiving travels again, since they hadn't seen me since the day before I left.) Then I swung by UCI's Main Library on the way home to pick up the next six Booker Prize winners.... three from the top and three from the bottom of the list. As soon as I left, it started raining like it would never stop.... and it hasn't... I love the rain!!!! It smells so good. So I got to drive down the freeway with John Mayer's CD "Room for Squares" (It's Excellent!) blaring and the rain pouring inside the car, and the people around me looking at me like I was insane but it was okay... I was having fun. But then.... I wasn't. And I had to call Tom and cry at him for like ten minutes. I am such a baby sometimes. I don't know. I guess I just thought that things can change... and they can't. I should know better by now. At least I didn't burn my cookies. My small group is having a cookie exchange tonight... Yum! this written by Mel at 5:45 PM So Fall Quarter is over now..... I guess I'm happy about that. But it just means that I have to hurry up and make up my mind already. On one hand, I have Spain. Wow. Dad is already telling everybody he knows that I'm already going. I mean, I want to go. I think. On the other, there's Tom. And since I'm not a frosh anymore, I could transfer. I just think that I have this opportunity (maybe) and I shouldn't let it get away.... I want to go out there too. I mean, maybe I'm just crazy (you guys let me know), but I think Tom and I really have a shot here at.... I donno... something. And it's not like I'm afraid that if I don't move we will fall apart. I don't think that if I were to go to Spain for almost six months, that we would fall apart. It would just be hard, like it's hard now. I just want it to be easier. I mean, I'm not really a big fan of easy, but... okay, I'm not making any sence, so I'm gonna move on... My mom is driving me crazy, b/c she's actually supportive of a move to UNC. It would be less expensive, which would be nice, I guess... I'm reading every book that has ever won the Booker prize. Woo hoo!!! At least I have that... Tom and I are camping out at the Rose Parade.... now, appariantly, my family doesn't need the seats anymore. There's going to be, seriously, like twenty of them, but they scored double wrist bands for the old people's section, so... Tom and I will have a spot if anyone would care to join us out there... if you wanna, then you wouldn't have to wake up super early that morning, you could get there just in time, and you'd have a spot. Of course, it might cost you...say a bagel or some hot chocolate, or Tom drinks coffee... So let me know... Okay, votes, anyone? Anyone? Everyone who's going to be home for Christmas in Anaheim: I don't leave until Christmas Eve! Let's do something! this written by Mel at 8:09 AM Wednesday, December 11, 2002 Okay, so I know I'm a couple of days late, (maybe only one, it depends) but anyway, I just thought I would take this time to (further procrastinate studying for my Hum Core Final and) mark Tom and my nine month anaversary with a big happy face. :) Good luck to every one taking finals..... this written by Mel at 10:59 PM Friday, December 06, 2002 Hmmm.... popcorn..... Brain Food of Champions... on to my final Hum Core essay.... hmmmmmm (for the popcorn, not the essay). this written by Mel at 9:51 AM Wednesday, December 04, 2002 OH, and Thanksgiving was absolutely *Fabulous. At first, I was a little anxious about both my parents being mad at me about not spending it with any of my family... but I think in a way, I did. So they can't be mad.... I had such a good time.... thanks to tom... who picked me up from the airport, not once, but twice, and was nice enough to return me twice as well... this written by Mel at 2:04 PM I missed my plane home yesterday, so Tom and I got a bonus day and* a bonus night. I sort of think all the anxiety was worth it, although, had you asked me yesterday around 7AM, my answer probably would have been different. I finally got home today around noon... too late for classes... tonight I continue with the damage control and try to explain that the stupid airlines really did give my seat to someone else, and no, I didn't really get stuck there on purpose just to spend more time with Tom, really.... And finals are next week! I mean, I knew, but it didn't hit me until last night, and talk about damage control... why does Tom even put up with me? For the record, I was a wreck on the plane this morning... but I'm okay now... I'm so done being distracted. I'm working on my papers, really.... I can't wait for new years.... oh, beverly, if you read this, I need to ask a favor of you. . . this written by Mel at 1:59 PM	links to people: :: beverly's homepage :: :: beverly's journal :: :: tom's blog :: :: my blog's name is jennifer ... mackenzie's journal :: :: insanity is contagious...kunal's journal :: :: gary's kustace :: links to music: :: something corporate's official Site :: :: david crowder band :: :: dave matthews band :: :: dave matthews in brazil :: :: the get up kids :: :: further seems forever :: :: relient k :: links to neat stuff: :: it's walky!
