<br />
When I opened my mission call I had a 124 days until I left. I thought it was the longest amount of time ever.<br />
<br />
Well here I sit today with only 28 days until I enter the MTC. Time has FLOWN by. But man I have been busy. Who knew getting ready for a mission was so much work!<br />
<br />
I am ready to take off. The next 4 weeks can go as fast as possible! I go through the temple in 2 days! Wowzer. I didn't know this day would ever come.Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631489077156087927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292444620035569440.post-52023630923753774222013-04-24T23:39:00.000-07:002013-04-24T23:39:34.702-07:00Never did I knowNever did I know that these four years of college would come to a close. Starting my Freshman year, graduation sure felt like an eternity away. Which, at times that is exactly how it felt. But today I can assure you that the time flew by.<br />
<br />
Never did I know that I would be graduating college with a mission call. I had thought about serving a mission, but I figured if I did I would have left midway through school and return back to school after. But I have to say it is very relieving to know that I am all done and don't have to worry about that when I get home!<br />
<br />
Never did I know the challenges I would go through during college. Juggling school and work, changing my major, figuring out my future (which is still yet to be determined), dating, hard classes, time consuming callings, and losing one of my best friends.<br />
<br />
Never did I know the people that I would meet and the friends I would make. I have met so many incredible people in provo that have quite honestly changed my life. I've made so many great friends that have been so supportive and fun over the past four years. I don't know how I would have survived without them all. Granted, there were times when I felt alone. But looking back there was always SOMEONE there. One door would close and another would open.<br />
<br />
Never did I know that I would meet my best friends here. Honestly when I was deciding where to go to school, my number one (and probably ONLY) problem I had with BYU was that I would come by myself. All of my friends were going to Utah State. In fact, half of my high school was going to Utah State. I had two friends going to UVU so they were close, but that is it. My dad would constantly tell me that he always heard people say your roommates will become your best friends, you will find them in college. I was a skeptic. I already HAD my best friends. Well folks, it is true. I found my best friends here in Provo. I honestly cannot thank my Heavenly Father enough. He knew exactly what I would need during my four years. I am grateful to know that these will be lifelong friendships!<br />
<br />
Never did I know that I would work at Target for 3 years and have the greatest coworkers. I loved my time in the pharmacy. I learned and grew so much from my time spent there and met the greatest people. I had my favorite patients also who I will truly miss. I wouldn't change my time there for anything.<br />
<br />
Never did I know that I would move back home after graduation. I am a very independent person and like doing my own thing. I was always busy with school and working during the summers so I have been out of the house since I left it four years ago. I didn't think I would ever be ready to move back home, but I am ready. It's the greatest feeling to be surrounded by my family every day. I'm so glad I get to spend the next 2 months with them before I leave.<br />
<br />
Peace out BYU.

<br />
I know that this won't be published until much further down the road, but I want to at least write some things down and remember how I am feeling and what I am thinking right now. I'm sorry it is so long. But I know I will cherish this one day.<br />
<br />
Today I told my family that I am going on a mission! I've been thinking about it a lot lately and told my roommates but now it is official! Today as Lindsay and I were driving to the Salt Lake temple for Aubrey's wedding she turned to me and said "Mel I'm going on a mission!" I then looked at her and said, "Linds I have an appointment with the Bishop on tuesday to start my papers!!!" Needless to say we had a little bit of a freak out and talked about it the rest of the day. I couldn't be happier to have one of my very best friends by my side during this adventure.<br />
<br />
About a year ago I was thinking pretty seriously about a mission. I was gonna be 21 and not dating anyone so I felt it was my responsibility. I prayed a lot about it but never got a real answer. I enrolled in a mission prep class to feel things out and just in case I decided to go. It was my absolute favorite class I have ever taken at BYU. My professor was nothing short of amazing. BUT.. that didn't mean that was my answer. I was praying a lot about it and one day in class I received my answer (or so I thought). We had a whole days lecture on sister missionaries and whether girls should serve or not. He said "if you don't have a desire to serve, then don't. It is not your obligation or calling. It is the responsibility of the young men. But don't get me wrong, sister missionaries are needed and they can do things and reach people that the elders can't." Right then a huge burden was lifted from me. Quite frankly I had no desire to serve. I wanted to get married and start a family instead. I wanted to go to pharmacy school and I knew I had years of schooling ahead of me so I decided to focus on my schooling.<br />
<br />
A lot of uncertainty about my future has plagued me for the past couple of months and I've been praying lots about what I should do. Last spring I started not feeling so great about Pharmacy school. I talked to my parents about my concerns and started leaning away from it. But in May I decided to take a huge leap of faith and enroll for the PCAT (pharmacy school entrance exam). My test date was scheduled for September. I bought a whole ton of books to study and started taking pharmacy seriously again. Well come August, nothing felt right. I didn't want to take the PCAT and quite frankly I was not prepared nor did I have any free time to get prepared. I was taking a full load of summer classes and working full time. Nothing was feeling right. I wasn't dating. I had lost all desire to go to pharmacy school. I was looking into other careers and options but nothing was feeling right. I was praying about what career path I should take or what I should do after graduation (as it was only months away) and I was not getting any answers. I considered moving home and transferring to Weber State to pursue more medical classes. I considered staying in provo and working full time at Target for awhile. I considered going to grad school. I considered it all. Finally the thought of a mission came. I thought and pondered on the idea and it all made sense. In my mission prep class we learned that we get three answers when we pray: a yes, a no, or a hold. My previous answer I had received had been a yes, but hold. I wasn't ready back then. Things happened in my life that I needed to experience and accomplish before I went on a mission. A big thing was my knee surgery. And I will graduate with my bachelors degree before I go.<br />
<br />
I had kind of joked with my family about going on a mission but to be quite honest I was being selfish. I didn't want to sacrifice things like seeing my only brother get his mission call and be at his farewell. I didn't want to miss his senior year of basketball or graduation. I didn't want to miss my sister trying out for high school cheer. I didn't want to miss all of my friends' weddings. But then I realized that my life can't revolve around other people. I have MY LIFE to live. I can't sit around waiting for things to happen to other people. I need to make things happen for myself. Then the age change occurred during General Conference and that was it. I didn't have to miss my brother getting his call and leaving, we could go <i>together!!</i><br />
<br />
I have never felt so good and so sure about a specific decision I have made. I am so excited for what is in store for me and the many experiences and opportunities ahead! I know that a mission is not something I will regret and my life will be changed because of it.<br />
<br />
Right now I'm loving Alma 26.<br />
<br />
vs 1-4 Talks about why we have reason to rejoice and that is because we have been so blessed with the opportunity to be instruments in the hands of God to bring about this great work.<br />
<br />
vs 3 ...<i>And this is the blessing which hath been bestowed upon us, that we have been made instruments in the hands of God to bring about this great work.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
vs 27 ...<i>Go amongst thy brethren, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success.</i><br />
vs 29 <i>And we have entered into their houses and taught them, and we have taught them in their streets; yea, and we have taught them upon their hills; and we have also entered into their temples and their synagogues and taught them; and we have been cast out, and mocked, and spit upon, and smote upon our cheeks; and we have been stoned, and taken and bound with strong cords, and cast into prison; and through the power and wisdom of God we have been delivered again</i><br />

vs 30 <i>And we have suffered all manner of afflictions, and all this, that perhaps we might be the means of saving some soul; and we supposed that our joy would be full if perhaps we could be the means of saving some</i><br />

<br />
So here's to saving some souls!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">November 20</span>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Things are moving fairly quickly, but I love it! I wish they could go faster but since I will be graduating in April my availability date is my rate-determining step here. But tonight I meet with the Bishop to start my papers! I'm thrilled. I then have a dentist appointment tomorrow and my mission physical! After those are complete I will basically be done since my wisdom teeth are already gonzo. I've started telling a few select people, but still keeping it pretty hushed! I've also been watching the BYUtv series "the district". It's about 8 missionaries serving in San Diego and their experiences. I'm obsessed! It makes me so excited to get out and serve!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">December 6.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Well things took a little bit longer than anticipated to finally get my papers started. I had to wait for my provo bishop and my home ward bishop to talk and settle things about who would be my funding ward and so forth before I could officially start. I got the email that I was good to go one week ago! And now my papers are all done! I just have to scan my passport, drivers license and add a picture!!!! Now it is just the waiting game! I'm still deciding exactly when I'm going to put them in, but I'm still hoping for the 18th! We'll see. I've been telling a few more people.. Not awesome supportive reactions so far, but I don't care :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">December 14.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I have submitted my application to the Bishop. 6 days ago in fact... Just waiting to hear back. Sure wish I was dealing with some proactive people, but I guess they don't have the next 18 months of their life hanging on a cloud of uncertainty so they don't care. If I can get ahold of my bishop and talk about my papers and then meet with the stake pres on sunday then TUESDAY should be the big day... 4 days :) Still deciding how to tell all my family! I really wish things were going a little bit more smoothly. It is making me kind of question things... But if I'm not supposed to go then I know I'll be stopped.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">December 28.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Update. Obviously things aren't going as planned...... My stake is a real pain. I had an appointment scheduled and then they canceled it and never rescheduled. I'm ticked. But oh well. I'm trying to have faith and remember that the Lord knows what he is doing. My papers probably won't go in for like 2 weeks, but then my parents are going out of town so i'm going to wait... for my brother! So that we get our calls on the same day and open them together!! It will be AWESOME! Papers go in January 27th and hopefully we get our calls on February 13th!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">January 17th.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Wow, time is flying. I can't believe I made my first post on this page two months ago today. And I've known about a mission for even longer than that. Well things are still on track for the above plan. Except I changed my availability date to June 1st so that we can maybe fit in a family trip after my brother graduates from high school. I finally met with my stake president and got my papers ALL finished. Shew. It's about time!! He was really great though and gave me some good advice. Like reading chapter one of preach my gospel 5 times before I go into the MTC. I am getting so super anxious. None of my extended family knows yet. We are still planning on it being a surprise for them when Mason opens his call. I really just want to know where I am going and have the news be out. This is big guys, this is life changing. Patience is probably the biggest thing I've been tried with so far. I'm still not any good at it but I'm definitely trying!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Less than a week till takeoff! Wahoooo! I am getting so anxious it is ridiculous! I keep having crazy dreams about my mission and places I will go. Last night I was doing some homework for my D&C class and I had to read section 84. I honestly cringed when I saw that it was 120 verses but I knew I had to read it all before I took my quiz so I sighed real deep and started reading.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Wow. Talk about the section just for me at this time. I completely got emotional as i was reading. So many verses on missionary work. I even found the scripture that I want to put on my plaque that will hang in the church! Here are some of my favorites:</span><br />

Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve Him with all of your heart, might, mind and strength that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day. Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God, ye are called to the work. And behold the field is white already to harvest and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul. And faith, hope, charity and love with an eye single to the glory of God qualify him for the work.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f393a; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">February 1, 2013.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f393a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">My papers are in. My papers are in. MY PAPERS ARE IN!!!!!!! I cannot begin to tell you how happy that makes me. I have been waiting for this for A LONG TIME... We aren't sure if Mason will be able to meet with the stake president in time to get his in this weekend so that will be a bummer. But no more waiting for me!!! TWO WEEKS! (hopefully. I don't have patience for any longer!!)</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f393a; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: 22px;">February 20, 2013.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f393a; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">To say that an update is needed is an understatement. Turns out my papers didn't go in on the first. Of course they didn't. That is exactly how my luck has been. To be honest, when I asked my Bishop if they had been put in and he checked and told me that they were still with the stake president I felt as if the world was ending and I had just been stabbed with a very large knife. I was fighting back tears. He also told me not to call my stake pres and to just be patient and to call the Prophet if I wanted it done faster. (I was definitely not in the mood for that smart remark).</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f393a; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;"> I went home and cried to my mom. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! I wasn't at ease for the next three days. My mind was everywhere. How was I supposed to know when they went in? What if in a month I still didn't have a call? THEN could I call my stake? Shoot. I was NOT a happy camper to say the least. I had Mason text my bishop at home and asked him the status. THEY WERE IN. They officially went in on the 4th. Great! So I was still planning on the 13th. I was a lot more calm. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f393a; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">I also ended up telling all of my extended family. It was the best decision I ever made. They were all so supportive and I cried every time I got a response. Then I text my bishop on Saturday to ask what the status was. He said they were with church headquarters and a call was ready to be assigned. DANG IT!!!!! I was expecting my call that next wednesday!! Well not anymore. SO then my mind switches to the 20th. The next wednesday. It HAD to come that day. Then I realize there is a holiday on monday with no mail..... So then I plan on the 21st. I got my work schedule changed and planned for that day. I got word from my bishop that my call had in fact been assigned and it was on its way to me. So I emailed family, texted friends and my mama ordered cupcakes. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f393a; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">Well folks, my mother opened the mailbox today and bam. What do you know? The church don't care bout no monday holiday! MY CALL IS HEREEEEEEEE. and here i sit in provo while my call sits at home in Eden on the mantel...... TOMORROW IS THE DAY!!!! I'm so relieved. I took two Tylenol PM's so that I can sleep tonight :)</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f393a; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">The church is true and I know no matter where I am called it is 100% where I am supposed to be. From Colorado Springs to Boise I am ready and so incredibly excited for it. The Lord has definitely had His hand in the timing of everything and I trust him with all of my heart.</span></div>

I'm whining about the winter. and the snow. and the cold. And asking the sun to come back and pay me a visit. The only thing I can say is that I am sure happy I didn't decide to have my second knee surgery this winter. I would have died. Literally. I would have slipped on my crutches, detached my leg, cracked my skull open and died. So that's cool. I can't believe the cray cray weather we have been receiving. Like that fun day of freezing rain? That was a real treat. All I can say is even though I almost biffed it in the parking lot at work twice, I was super glad I was inside working a 12 hour shift instead of slipping and eating it all over campus. I have so much been enjoying all of the videos of people falling on facebook. I have been laughing for hours just replaying them all. BUT this video is absolutely amazing. I am sure if this happened to me I would not think so but luckily it didn't. And I'm sure it didn't happen to you either so enjoy :) **this was filmed right by my apartment! Like you can see it in the background a couple times. So glad I didn't fall for this.** <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTTyUgrY1kk&feature=player_embedded">CLICK HERE!!</a><br />
<br />
Anyways. Walking around campus with stairs, steep hills, etc. has been very fun. And wearing a huge puffy coat to walk to school in everyday has been really fun too. Man I should just stop getting dressed since nobody sees what I'm wearing anyways!<br />
<br />
School is going well! I only have class on MWF so that is nice, but that means I have 5 classes in one day and they are all back-to-back. But it goes by pretty quickly so I don't have many complaints. Just a lot of homework all due at once! And then I am working 30 hours a week. And 2nd counseloring in the Relief Society. I sure have loved my calling and the girls I serve with! They are great!!<br />
<br />
And last but not least, shoutout to my girl Lindsay who just got called to the England Birmingham mission! I am beyond ecstatic for you!!! Do work, Brinz! Love you!!<br />

I honestly can NOT believe it is already 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where did the time go?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not a whole lot happened in 2012. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a pretty good year anyhow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a little update:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turned 21.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spent the first 3-4 months of the year recovering from knee surgery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which included a lot of sitting on my butt, stuck in my apartment.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
**Jazz won both times!<br />

I can't complain too much about 2012! But I know that 2013 has some big things in store for me so I couldn't be more excited!<br />

Because I'm one of those poor unfortunate souls with an Android, it is such a big, fat pain to upload my pictures from my phone!! But I love taking pics with my phone because it is convenient!! (and that is the only reason because 1-my camera takes pictures upside down for some reason and 2- my front camera is like a .5 megapixel so it is AWFUL--as you will see in half of these pictures!) Anyways, life has finally slowed down for 10 seconds and I decided to try and get caught up! Sorry it is so random and scattered. I have no idea what is going on with my blogger right now but i'm just lazy and don't know how to fix it so just go with it....<br />

Ok, I'm going to get a little sappy. Honestly if you would have told me my sophomore year of high school the effect these boys would have on my life I would have laughed at you. They are honestly the greatest. Parker, Christian, Spencer and Josh (who didn't come to dinner). They have been there for me through it all. And honestly I am closer with them after all of these years than any of my friends that are my age. Actually today 5 years ago was the first time we hung out. Well, with Parker and Christian anyways. Alvin and the Chipmunks at the movie theatre on 12th street. Then a few days later I met Greg as we played 'Sting' at Parker's house and Christian wore my hair extensions. Ha ha. Man I am so glad we are still friends. I can count on them for anything. Love you boys! And I guess I owe all the credit to Trevor. And Myrika. So thanks, guys. haha.<br />

**Jabari Parker came to BYU and I sat right across from him! Yes, THEE Jabari Parker. I had arrows drawn on there so you could see him but they disappeared. He is the one right under and to the left of the orange shirt dude. He's a stud. But didn't choose BYU... So go DUKE. I'm ok with it, I like Duke.<br />

WHEW. That was a lot of jumbled mess. Sorry. Not sorry. My life is great right now. I'm down to one single semester left at BYU. And I only have 1 yucky class! It is gonna be a pretty chill semester (I hope anyways). Just snowboarding, working, and that's about it. </div>

Semesters, that is. I just survived my hardest semester at BYU and I honestly couldn't be happier. My next semester is filled with a bunch of garbage classes like Family Finances and Philosophy. I'm thrilled. I only have one class for my major where as this semester every single class I had was for my major. A little overwhelming. But it is over!!!!! And I don't go back to school until January 7th. That is AFTER my birthday. Oh man, BYU really knew how to make my senior year great!<br />
<br />
I even got to read Harry Potter today after taking my last final :) I haven't read it since the first week of the semester.. maybe one day I will finish book 7! Now just a little work (and when I say little I mean 50 hours in the next 6 days) and then I get to go home for a week! And I'll probably reward myself for all of my hard work this semester by going snowboarding on monday :) Why not?! I also cleaned out my backpack, notebooks, and desk and my room is spotless!<br />
<br />
My apartment is gonna be super quiet this weekend! All of my roommates are leaving for the break so I'll have the place to myself for the week! Which means the TV is all mine and my music will be blaring as loud as I please!<br />
<br />
I just realized I never uploaded these pics! Here are a few from my apartment's successful Halloween party! Just call me Martha Stewart! Actually, please don't.<br />

<ul>
<li>You are about three months shy of 22.</li>
<li>You live at the Village at South Campus on 600 n. and 600 e.</li>
<li>You are a senior at BYU studying exercise science.</li>
<li>You work at Target as a pharmacy technician.</li>
<li>Your roommates are Savanah, Jenny, and Lauren.</li>
<li>You were just called to serve as the 2nd counselor in the Relief Society.</li>
<li>Your main focus right now is growing out your hair (haha gagging down 6 fish oil pills a day and ovation-ing 3 nights a week)</li>
<li>You recently decided not to go to pharmacy school. Everything you have planned on doing your whole life. And now you have no idea what you are doing.</li>
<li>You graduate in 7 months with a bachelor's degree</li>
<li>You are currently reading Alma 43</li>
<li>You drive an '05 white dodge neon</li>
<li>You haven't been on a date since April. wow.</li>
</ul>
Well since this was started on 9/23 I guess I am a little behind on my blogging...<br />
<br />
Let's just say this semester has been a hectic one and I cannot wait for it to be over! I am also filled with so much joy because there is only 2 days of class this week! Then a week and a half of class left a few papers and projects due and finals and then i'm done for 3 whole weeks!!!!!!!!! It will be the longest break BYU has ever given me. SO grateful. Let's just say my countdown to graduation chain ( that i probably haven't told you about since I haven't blogged in so long) is getting small...er. haha It is still pretty long unfortunately.<br />
<br />
I am super excited for this time of year! I love the holidays and being able to spend lots of time with family and away from work as much as possible. AND it means my Birthday is coming up!!! Big 22. It also means that I'm about to start my VERY LAST semester at BYU. I couldn't be happier. It will be bitter sweet though. I'm already sad that I'll be missing next football season. :(<br />
<br />
Life is good though. Great, actually. Life is just plugging along and I'm feeling very blessed! If I had any pictures to show you I would... But I think they are all stuck on my camera which is in my car which is downstairs. So maybe next time, in 3 months. haha just kidding. I'm going to start being good again. I mean if it makes you feel any better the calendar in my bedroom is still on October... and I don't feel justified in changing it all to November for only 2 weeks so I'm just going to wait till December.<br />
<br />
Not too much is going on, except for everything at the same time. If that makes any sense.<br />
<br />
Since this is the week of Thanks, I will post my yearly (<a href="http://melschmel.blogspot.com/2010/11/home-sweet-home.html">2010</a> & <a href="http://melschmel.blogspot.com/2011/11/full-of-thanks.html">2011</a>) thankful post sometime soon!<br />
<br />
Until then, eat lots of pie :)<br />

Time is just flying by! Can't believe it is already almost halfway through October! It is ridiculous! next thing you know, the brother is going to be turning in his mission papers!! CRAZY! Man I sure love General Conference time. The fall is my favorite time of year! I love the start of a new school year, football season, changing leaves, wearing warm clothes but not having to lug around a huge coat, and everything in between. I got to go home and be with my whole family for more than 5 hours. The last time that happened was on our family vacation in July! </div>

Sometimes with my job I have the <i>privilege</i> of dealing with some really weird people. I see my share of diversity that is for sure. All sorts of backgrounds, all sorts of problems. It is kind of cool really. All at the pharmacy for one reason or another. Birth control, anti-depressants, insulin, antibiotics, pain relievers, you name it. On occasion I will have to deal with a real piece of work. Someone that is really complicated and demands a lot of work, someone that cannot be satisfied no matter what you do, others stink really bad or are really sketchy. Well today at work I was working up front and helping in the drop-off line. I was helping a lady and I was entering her insurance information into the computer when I hear a man say in a singy voice to the tune of the song, "call me maybe". I looked up and kind of chuckled thinking it was a funny dad joking around with his daughter but then when I look up I find a 40 something year old homely looking man all by himself with his earphones in. haha then I really start laughing. It gets better. So I finish helping the lady, take care of the prescriptions and then the man walks up to the counter while saying "alright it is the strange mans turn. i'm the strange man, call me maybe."He gives me the prescriptions and asks me to fill them. They were for his wife. I start taking down his information and entering them into the system when he starts mumbling. I am trying SO SO hard not to laugh so I bite my lower lip. I am writing some things down and not talking while out of nowhere (maybe cause he saw my CTR ring?) he says, "I'm not LDS. I'm not. I'm not a mormon. I don't know if you care, but I'm not." I kind of laugh a little and say no, I dont care. I continue to tell him that they will be done in twenty minutes and he can pay when he picks them up. He then says, "where do i pick up because I don't know what I'm doing, I don't ever get sick or ever have a cough. I never come to the pharmacy. But I do have IBS. I probably told you too much." WHOA.... too much info dude. ha ha so awkward. I walk away to go fill the prescriptions and he stays at the counter and continues to sing the phrase "call me maybe". We laughed about it the rest of the day. It was so funny. I guess you really had to be there. Well bedtime for me.</div>

I was going to attempt to make a goal to blog more... And then I found out what my 400 level classes entail plus my work schedule of 36+ hours...It is just not going to happen. But I will really try.Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631489077156087927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292444620035569440.post-30523547805632582922012-08-29T19:31:00.001-07:002012-08-29T19:31:43.462-07:00Say it isn't so...I am in straight denial. I refuse to face the fact that I am a senior in college. It just sounds way too disgusting. That means that 1- I am old. and 2- The real world is right around the corner. oh and 3- I'm going to be part of the 3% that graduate from BYU without being married. Awesome. :)<br />
<br />
When people ask what year I'm in I slightly cringe as I tell them that I am a senior and graduating soon. I feel as if they judge me. And plus, I truly love BYU. I don't want to leave. I could stay here forever and be just fine! On the other hand, you better believe I am counting down to graduation. I don't want to ever write a paper, take a test, register for classes, buy textbooks, group projects, research papers, or anything of the sort ever ever ever again.<br />
<br />
This last year is gonna be a hectic one but I am finally into all of good classes that I enjoy! Too bad they are 400 level classes and make me want to cry just thinking about them! Why can't there be an option just to learn all this stuff but not take tests and not be graded on it?<br />
<br />
Life is great though! I love my new apartment and my new roomies! I especially love living with Savanah! We do fun things like go to park city, the drive-in, and Wicked!<br />

I said <b>GOODBYE </b>to the Branbury. No more living in "rape-ville" any longer! It is so bitter sweet though. I lived there for 2 years and lived through so much of my college life during that time. Lots of roommates, friends, and challenges. It's weird to think about life before the bran. But believe me it was definitely time to move, change things up and start fresh. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here are some things I WON'T miss about the bran:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">my squeaky bed</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the location of my bedroom (stairwell light, noisy loud door, and the living room)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the stupid drawer in my closet that would fall off the track EVERY time I opened it</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the moldy bathroom (RIP betsy and her children)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">hitting the pothole at the light on Riverside Ave</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">driving to school</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">my ward.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the gross heater vent in the hall that was always so dusty</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">having to pay for and carry my laundry</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">management</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the overall ghetto-ness of the whole place</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">having nowhere to do homework except my bed</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Things I WILL miss:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">my big bed</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Apt 312</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sharon</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">close drive to work</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">walking to football games</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">.... obviously the bad was outweighing the good. So, in turn I said <b>HELLO </b>to the Village at South Campus. It is brand new student housing and I'm the first person to occupy my bedroom!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Some things I already love:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Washer and dryer in the unit</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Big flat screen TV and free cable</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Underground, assigned parking</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">5 minute walk to campus</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Savanah being my roommate</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">all of my friends literally surrounding me on every direction within one block</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Valet garbage take-out (NOW we are talking!)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">way more social</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is my first night in my new bed (back in a twin) and I never thought this day would come. Although packing and unpacking and cleaning all day wore the crap out of me. I was so busy that the only thing I had to eat today was a large diet coke from Mcdonalds and I didn't even realize it till about 10 pm. And it also left me looking like I was mauled by a bear! I have bruises, scratches and scrapes all over my arms and legs and not to mention a huge blood blister on my hand.. But it is such a relief to have that done! I'm so excited for what the next couple months have in store! </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And now I'm saying <b>GOODBYE </b>to you, and my new house as I leave for South Carolina for Sharon's wedding!! So excited! I heart airplanes! and weddings! :) I'm sure I'll have tons of pics to post next time!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">P.S. After 28 months, I get to see Christopher on sunday after I get home! To say I'm excited would be an understatement. :)</span></div>

a choir of angels is singing HALLELUJAH.<br />
<br />
If you can't tell... I'm just a little excited. No more choir practice, no more playing the piano, no more dealing with my oh so boring ward. Which also means I am a week away from moving out! I feel like i'm starting a whole new life and it is kind of awesome! I also am all done with summer school except for my two finals on wednesday and thursday! It will be so so so so so great to start my summer!! Too bad it is only two weeks long but whatever. This weekend was pretty fun except for doing homework and studying for finals, but I got to spend some time with Aubrey who came down and slept over! I got to skype with Christopher! Zach is finally home!! I went and saw Step Up 4 in 3D with my two best friends and it was pretty great!! Here are some pics.<br />

But guess what? My life is awesome so I don't know why I complain so much! I live a crazy hectic life just like the rest of you. I have soooo many things in my life that make me happy that it isn't even funny. So just so you know that I'm a happy person... Here are some examples.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The fact that while cleaning out my room so that I could start packing I found a cd with a whole bunch of pictures on it that I had lost when my laptop was stolen. It brought back so many memories and I am so glad that I was able to find it so I could remember those little moments. (sorry for the overload of pictures) </li>
</ul>

At work I was recognized for being the Guest Service MVP out of everyone in the whole store! I was feeling pretty special. There will overall be 8 of us chosen in different categories. I was the only one out of the pharmacy chosen so that was pretty cool. They gave me a nice little gift basket and a nice thank you note from all of the executives. It is nice when your hard work is noticed!</div>

This blurriness we are blaming on the fire that we were sitting around... That is my only guess. It is such a freaking small world. So here is the story. Jenica(the one on the top left) is Savanah's sister. She is my age. And is dating a boy that is best friends with two boys from my Freshman ward that I was good friends with. Collin and <a href="http://melschmel.blogspot.com/2010/09/weird-email.html">Logan</a> were my FHE bros. So we all got together and had a fire! It was funnnn except for smelling like fire after. Worst part about a fire always.</div>

Also I can't leave you without sharing a quite hilarious story that will hopefully put a smile on your face. Yesterday at work I was helping a guest. I went to look for her prescription. Walking/shuffling sideways I was trying to find the right bin associated with her last name. My quad gave out (very normal thing since surgery) and I tripped over my other leg and went flying to the ground face first. I laid there laughing while everyone in line just stared at me like it wasn't funny. It was really awkward. Hahaha dang that leg.</div>

Well I will be incognito for the next week at least as I will be on va-kay to Yosemite National Park and the Redwoods. But I will grace you with my presence upon my return with lots of pictures I'm sure. </div>

My days consist of<br />
school: in a classroom (15x15?)<br />
work: in a maybe 15x10 cubby hole<br />
bedroom: 10x10 square<br />
<br />
I literally live in a box. every dang day. But that's fine. My weeks just keep zooming by. I wish it would slow down a little bit... but then I'm so so so ready for August 14th to get here that I don't even care. August 14th I move out. New apartment, new roommates, new ward, new location, NEW LIFE. I cannot wait. I think about it everyday and get so excited. 6 1/2 weeks left. and two of those weeks I will be vacationing. I spend more time away at school and work than I spend in my apartment. Summer is beginning to wear on me. But I'm told this is life as an adult.<br />
<br />
Some good news is:<br />
<br />
Two of my really good friends from freshman year got home from their missions this week! <a href="http://melschmel.blogspot.com/2011/09/missin-me-some-missionaries.html">Christopher</a> is HOME!! It was soo good to talk to him and catch up! And cute little <a href="http://melschmel.blogspot.com/2010/09/weird-email.html">Logan</a> just got home yesterday and I get to go to his homecoming next sunday! I can't believe two years went by so fast.<br />
<br />
Last night I went to dinner and shopping with Melissa. We also saw the movie People Like Us. It was really good, I recommend it! The ending is nothing you expect!<br />
<br />
Savanah was camping with her family all weekend so I was super bored but I felt super productive today! I worked from 9-1:30 and then tried to get as many things done as possible since it was my first free time of the week. I went at got me a gym membership. We just got a brand new Planet Fitness right across the street from work so it is the perfect location and it is no contract $10 a month open 24 hours.. Exactly what I need. I then went to campus and unintentionally spent some money on the new football game day shirts. They are so cute! I wanted to get emotional since it was the last BYU football shirt I will by haha. I then finished all of my physics homework that is due next week, wrote all of my lab write-ups for the rest of the semester, did a lot of my reading for living prophets, picked out songs to play and practiced for sacrament tomorrow. Plus... I vacuumed and scrubbed and washed my car and filled it up with gas. My mom would have been so proud. So I'm feeling awesome!! and absolutely exhausted.<br />
<br />
My next purchase will be earplugs. And I am 100% serious. That way I don't have to hear the dang tv, my roommates, the squeaky door that wakes me up anytime someone opens it or freaking fireworks. I'm sorry that I have to be a fun hater, people. But if you were working full time and going to school full time so would you!! I need my sleep!<br />
<br />
But on the bright side! Only 2 weeks of absolute torture until my family vacation! I'm soooo ready! Peace out folks!<br />

TIME IS FLYING!!<br />

I cannot believe that it is almost July. Seriously, being super busy during the summer sure makes it cruise. But I don't mind. I am so looking forward to the end of August. I have so many changes taking place in my life and it is going to be so great. I can't even wait!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So like I said, my summer has been busy. Super busy! Here is just a brief glimpse into my life next week....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Monday: Work 10-8</div>
<div>
Tuesday: Class from 9-11, 12-3, 5-7:30</div>
<div>
Wednesday: Work 10-8</div>
<div>
Thursday: Class again from 9-7:30</div>
<div>
Friday: Work 9-4</div>
<div>
Saturday: Work 9-1:30.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Whoa. I'm overwhelmed. No free days for me. But it's ok. I don't mind it. I work with my two very best friends so I actually enjoy being at work most of the time and for the most part I enjoy my classes. Today I had to work from 8-7. wow it was a long day. And then after I went with Melissa to Pleasant Grove's Strawberry Days. It was like the cutest little carnival. I really wish we had something like it back home. Founder's Day doesn't even compare. </div>

It has been a month since my last blog. I guess i've been a little busy. And then when I remember that I need to blog it is bedtime and i'm too tired. But now i'm watching Baby Mama so I think I can spare some time. It has only been a month, but I feel like a lot has happened. Even though my life isn't really exciting... All i do is go to school, study physics, and work. Here are some pictures::<br />

Also something I don't have a picture of but is pretty freaking important... I registered for the PCAT. The MCAT, but for Pharmacy school. September 18th! This is a pretty big deal cause I'm not 100% sure that pharmacy school is in my plans but this is a start. We'll see what happens. Wish me luck! Also i'm halfway through summer school! I have finals next week and then summer term starts the next week. Andd I booked a flight to South Carolina for Sharon's wedding! Let's just say that between Wicked, a plane ticket to South Carolina, fixing burned out tail lights in my car, and registering for the PCAT and buying books to study with, my bank account is being depleted. Good thing for work. Well i'll try to be better at blogging.

I'm also counting down till I move into my new apartment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No more mold and grungy nastiness in the tub or toilet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No more sleeping by the stairwell and wanting to PUNCH people every night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No more light in my room from the stupid light outside my window.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No more noise from the family room being literally separated from my bedroom by .0025 cm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Andddd finally one more countdown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Zach and Chris will be back in Provo by August 25th. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ohhhh and my best friend is getting married in August too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NBD.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sheesh I just need to make myself a whole bunch of countdowns to hang around my room and then everything will just be splendid. </div>

The last few weeks of my life haven't been very eventful. Just busy. I've been able to go home a lot over the past few weeks but now I'm working weekends again so it looks like i'm stuck in provo for awhile now. Well here are a few pictures to catch up..</div>

I love my home. It's so pretty. It's such a nice retreat from my crazy busy provo. If nothing else, Provo has taught me that I'm a country girl. Provo is way too much for me. And yes I do consider Provo a big city. And yes I did stop in the middle of the road to take this picture.</div>

Stoked for this concert with Brinz!! I am seriously obsessed with He Is We. I'm okay if this becomes a tradition. Hopefully this year I won't feel like ripping my hair out before they even play because of the awful opening bands and 15 year old bratty girls.</div>

There was a Weber Alumni Basketball tournament for a scholarship that they are starting in Greg's name. It was fun to be able to go and support and also watch my brother play in it. It was good to talk to Greg's parents and buy this shirt. And I made it out without any tears! I really can't believe it has almost been a year. I was really sad I missed the last night where his little sister danced to "If I Die Young". I decided to go on a blind date instead. The first counselor in my stake presidency set me up. So I trusted him. BAD IDEA. Guys it was bad. He was a nice guy, but to put things nicely..... not what I'm looking for. And the whole date lasted 50 minutes. Still laughing about it.</div>

Don't you love this picture of the Ogden Valley?! My neighbor Jake Nelson took it! You should look at all of his photography. I don't know if he has a website, but <a href="http://www.facebook.com/jakenelsonphotography">here</a> you can find his facebook page which is where I stole this from. He is so talented and I love the way he portrays my hometown. I'll probably buy some of his stuff and hang it in my future home. </div>

So one of my classes this semester is at the BYU SLC center. It's been fun to have a switch up and great parking and small classes and all. And not to mention a cute boy named Larry. Whose last name may or may not be Miller. Don't worry I already asked if he was related/named after the former Jazz owner and unfortunately, no. But I sure love seeing temple square every tuesday and thursday. Such a pretty place!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week I was able to go home and go to Carly Barker's wedding. It was so fun seeing her and Josh married and seeing so many old, familiar faces. And then I went over to Parker's condo and hung out with my best guys. Josh, Marques, Todd, Park, Christian and Spencer. I love those boys. They are all so good to me. It's good to spend time with them when I can. Sure miss them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also... Our pharmacy remodel is DONE. wow it is so nice. It is HUGE! and clean and just so much better and more convenient. So glad that is all over. And in 19 days I'm saying hello to year 3! Whoa! Time has definitely flown. So grateful for my job! I have truly been blessed with the best boss, best coworkers, and great pay. I couldn't ask for more!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to work tomorrow (or today). I've missed the past 3 weeks in my singles ward now. Oooops. haha I'm waiting for my bishopbric to come visit. Or ask me to speak. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I will try to be better at my blogging. I have been a slacker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Well in case you haven't heard enough about my knee surgery already......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are some pictures. Comparing my first few sets of x-rays, to my most recent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
In this set you can see the problem. On the left was before. Both of my patellas are slanted and in the wrong place. If you compare the left side of the image in both x-rays you'll see how it is fixed, sitting in a more correct position.</div>

I find it very weird that I just have two giant screws in my leg. Sometimes I swear I can feel them and I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that is the reason that it hurts so bad to kneel.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My doc said things were looking way good and he was impressed with how i was doing. (Probably because he hasn't seen me try to speed walk/jog). He asked me if I was ready for knee #2. hahaha I laughed and said not a chance. Maybe in 6 months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I read a book this weekend that I majorly recommend. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
DO it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This book was so good. I read it in two days. I couldn't put it down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Such an inspiring story full of courage and faith. I think I was most touched by the continual love and support of her family. How willing they were to step right in and take care of things. It makes me feel truly blessed to be part of an eternal family. I think this book helped me to realize what is really important in life. Like my relationships with family and friends. Not what score I just got on my last exam or how I spend my friday night. I would definitely read this book again.</div>

What the heck happened to blogger? I don't know if I really like it. They deleted everyone I was following. Rude. So if you would kindly leave your blogger address in the comments so I could continue to stalk you, that would be great. Thanks.<br />
<br />
Anyways, it has been quite awhile since I last blogged. I feel like I got swept up in a tornado and I just landed. Yesterday. The end of the semester was busy as could be especially with work. But I am FREE. 100 percent free until tuesday. Wow. I forgot what this was like... it is fabulous. I am currently at home. Getting some much needed R&R. I spent yesterday sleeping in, getting my nails done, shopping (in which I found a new dress that I love), going to a baseball game with my sister, and spending the night at home watching Psych. Today is day 2 and I have watched Psych all morning. I just finished season 5. Bam. Now I can finish reading Harry Potter. Haha I haven't read it basically since January so I kind of forgot what was happening. But believe me. Finishing the series is on my summer bucket list!<br />
<br />
Speaking of which.... IT'S SUMMER!!! Can you believe it? Oh man I am so glad. Even though I'll be working at least 30 hours and going to summer school I am still going to try and enjoy myself.<br />
<br />
P.S. 364 days till graduation. But who's counting?!?Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631489077156087927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292444620035569440.post-18893316986241320442012-03-26T23:18:00.000-07:002012-03-26T23:18:48.603-07:00My life be like...Oh hey.<br />
<br />
In 3 weeks I will basically be done with finals. Jealous? Yeah and then 5 days later I get to start another semester of school. Bet you are really jealous now.<br />
<br />
My life is boring. Just finishing up with school. I've got two more midterms and a video project to finish in the next week. Then finals. Bring it on. I'm so excited to be done with these classes. <br />
<br />
<br />
I also want to move home. At least for the summer. But I have classes I have to take. But I only have class on tuesdays and thursdays so I could totally commute... But that means losing my job. Which as much as I would like to have a break during the summer, I just can't do that. Then I would be forever jobless. Which I would be perfectly fine with.... But my daddy wouldn't be.<br />
<br />
So I guess I'm stuck here... Oh well! I have lots of friends that are coming down here for the summer so it should be fun! Ok.. only like 4 friends haha but that is more than I have right now.<br />
<br />
I'm going to make me a summer bucket list so I have some things to look forward to.<br />
<br />
I was just planning out my April and I think that I am going to be home every single weekend for the month. I'm so busy with things back home. Like Easter, a homecoming, a doctors appointment, and my cousins farewell.. I can take that schedule to my Bishop and ask to be released right?! ha ha my poor co-chair. He already hates me enough for not being there.... oops.<br />
<br />
So the orem Target is in the middle of a huge remodel. Like a 5 month process remodel. It looks awesome so far! But wanna know why I'm really excited?--------------------> NEW PHARMACY. Brand new. All mine. Oh it will be so nice! I honestly can't wait. And lucky for us we are currently in a plywood box for the next six weeks. But seriously, the temporary place we are in is a joke. But I keep telling myself it will all be worth it.<br />
<br />
Gotta go watch some Psych now. Bye.Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631489077156087927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292444620035569440.post-63283898995248567372012-03-21T17:11:00.000-07:002012-03-21T17:11:34.691-07:00Tomorrow<div><br />

I've been watching for a month now and I'm on season 3.</li>
<li>I hate odd numbers. Like I really have a problem with them. Like the number 11. But my least favorite numbers are 13 and 17. They are so ugly to me. I don't know why and I can't explain it. But I can promise you I will be getting married on an even day.</li>
<li>I have problems sleeping. I'll go to bed at a decent time but that means I stare at the ceiling and toss and turn for the next 3 hours.</li>
<li>I have a weird obsession with crossing things out. Like when I make a to-do list I like to write things on there that I have already accomplished just so I can cross them off and feel productive.</li>
<li>The $5 movie section at Target not just speaks to me, it sings to me.</li>
<li>I set my alarm 15 minutes early so I can push snooze three times</li>
<li>One day (real soon) I wanna be so rich that I never have to work a day again in my life.</li>
<li>With that being said... I don't want to apply for Pharmacy school for fear of rejection</li>
<li>My consumption of Diet Coke correlates very strongly with the amount of hours I work.</li>
<li>I'm going through a phase where sometimes (maybe all the time) I check my phone every other minute for a text...</li>

</ol><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Randee's Questions and my answers</u></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><u><br />
</u></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>1. What is your fondest memory as a child?</b><br />
This is kind of random but the Balloon Festival in Eden. When I was younger the Balloon Festival was a huge deal. It has since become very ghetto and lame and they charge you to get in and no one goes. When I was young, it was the place to be. I remember my grandpa would take me and my cousins every year when I was really young. Then as I grew older I would go with friends. Booths galore. Hot air balloons galore. Happiness everywhere... I wish I could go back.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>2. If you were a color, what color would you be and why?</b><br />
I would probably have to say a blueish color. Maybe like a teal. One because it is my favorite color, but also because I like to think of myself as a calm-ish person. I'm not a vibrant yellow or red but i'm not some dreary brown or black. I would put myself right in the middle. Kind of bright, but pretty laid back.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>3. Do you choose trendy or classic or both and why?</b><br />
I would have to say both. I'm probably more trendy when it comes to media such as music, movies, books, etc. But then more classic I guess when it comes to my style. I'm not very trendy when it comes to clothes unfortunately.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>4. What is your most embarrassing moment?</b><br />
hmmm. I have a lot of embarrassing moments unfortunately. I'm a very awkward, clumsy person that has all sorts of issues... But the one that I am think of right now was from high school. The first day of high school in fact. I was walking from the lunch room down to the commons with Courtney Burrows and Justin Pack. I get to the stairs and biff it all the way down and land at the bottom on my back. I am just laying there laughing and Courtney and Justin just kept walking pretending they didn't know me. I got up and looked around and everyone was staring at me. Hello newbie sophomore, welcome to Weber.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>5. What do you love about yourself?</b><br />
I love to laugh. I laugh a lot. I am very easily entertained and I laugh at myself and others almost always, which makes me happy.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>6. What is the best book or books you've ever read?</b><br />
I'm not really a book reader sadly. But in high school we read Count of Monte Cristo and it was fabulous. Also I'm just reading Harry Potter for the first time and they are magical as well.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>7. What is number one on your bucket list?</b><br />
I'd like to say traveling to some foreign country or cliff jumping in some exotic place... But I'll be honest. Definitely number one is to go to a Justin Bieber concert... Bieber Fever.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>8. What is one of your weird quirks?</b><br />
I'm full of them. I'm sure. But it's who I am.. so they aren't really weird to me. Maybe it's how I push the clear button on the microwave every time I walk past. Or how I lock my car twice and then check my door to make sure it is locked. Or maybe how I am OCD about my calendar and I change it at weird times, like in the middle of the month. So I have a rolling calendar haha<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>9. Name 3 moments in history you wish you could've witnessed.</b><br />
This may sound wrong, but 9/11. I was in Lake Powell during 9/11 and didn't know about it for a week after it happened. Even then I was only 10. Now being the age that I am I think it would have been a really special experience, probably really traumatic, but sentimental nonetheless to be in NYC and experience that. Next I would have to say the Grand Opening of Disneyland. When Walt Disney was alive. I'm a disney die-hard. And I can't lie... Beijing Olympics 2008 when Michael Phelps won his 8 gold medals.. Watching on tv just didn't do it justice.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>10. If you could do or be anything you wanted, what would you do/be?</b><br />
If I could do or be anything I would like to be a professional roller coaster rider. Sounds like the life to me. Just travel from amusement park to park and try every roller coaster day after day. I gotta do it now while I am young before I grow old and get headaches doing such things.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>11. What is your lucky number and why?</b><br />
Ironically my lucky number is odd... It is the number 3. Well.. It was when I was younger when I cared about having a lucky number. I would pick that number for everything I did. Now if I had to choose I would probably say 6. Because my birthday is on the 6th. And it is even.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
