| Well, it has been quite sometime since I've been on Xanga. And a lot of changes have occured. So, I guess lets start from the beginning.
-----------------------------
1. The new job:
What a rollercoaster ride that has been. I'm still working there. And when I say working, I mean working. Tax season is absolutely horrific. My coworkers aren't exactly a dream. The office has no windows, I stare at beige all day. It's like all of the glimmer and glamour of working in the city crashed down. The stress of my job is definately getting to me. I can't wait until tax season is over and I can finally take a vacation. Finally just have some peace and quiet.
Although I have to say, the receptionist, Emily, is probablly one of the nicest people I've met in a while and we're becoming great friends.
-----------------------------------
2. The boy situation
Well, this is the big news.
Mr. John came back into my life [theatrical pause]
If you don't know, John and I had a small fling about 2 years ago. He was this guy I worked with at the local YMCA camp. I fell for him, hard. We fooled around, and then I found out he had a girl friend back at school...and we kept fooling around for the rest of that summer. And a few summers after. But we hadn't spoken in about a year.
And all of the sudden, around november, he sends me the text "Hey there what's up". At first I was expecting the usual back seat of the car fling and honestly, I wasn't in a position to say no. Daniel and I were completely over by this point, and we still are. But instead I got "Lets do dinner". I was so surprised that he'd actually want to take me out for a change, so of course I said yes!
Well, dinner was great. It was like things picked up exactly where they left off. Plus I learned that his girlfriend and him had split. We were back to where we started. And for me, that included the feelings I had for him. We went back to my car, for some fun. But this time, it was different. The feelings I had flooded back 100x stronger, it was like I had never gotten over him. And to be honest, I was a virgin at the time (I know 22 and a virgin...yeah whatever).
But we did it. And I know people say that the first time hurts, but christ, it was amazing. And John is well endowed. So believe me, it was great.
Anyways, enough about the sex.
So for the past ...6 months. John and I have been playing this game. I have so many feelings for him that the cutest guy on the subway couldn't even grab my attention. But the thing now is, does John feel the same for me? Is this going to go anywhere?
I almost don't want things to change. I like them how they are. But man, it's great.
-------------------------------------------
3. Hodge-podge of other things
Still living at home, Kimmy and I are fighting.
And I'm currently 159lbs! Yay!
Alright. I'm tired of writing and I have tons of taxes to do. I've missed this and I'm going to try and come back to it, though probablly with a new name or something. I'll keep you updated, if you're still keeping up.

| I have some wonderful news, unfortunately, it's not my weight. However, in this shitty economic time, where the upper middle class is constantly getting beat on, where college grads are having a terrible time finding a job because of older people, where the world is just not doing that great... I, Melissa (Last name here), have found her dream job!
I work at a French CPA firm in NYC as a bookkeeper/admin. assistant. C'est parfait!
I don't start working until the 24th of August. I'm very excited to be given this oppurtunity and I'm also very proud of myself for not taking the easy way out and going to grad. school. I made the right choice for me. I'm going to commute to the city, because lets face it, apartments aren't cheap, and plus there's a bus that comes right into my town and drops me off right at Port Authority, so no problems there. I'm just hoping that the company does well and I end up working for them for a good period of time, hopefully for the rest of my working career, like I said, it is my dream job. Surtout le francais! But I don't wantt to jinx myself. You never know what can happen in a few months from now, but I'm very optimistic. ---------------------------------------------------------- In other news...
Daniel and I have been on the rocks for the past month. It's been absolutely awful. We're constantly fighting and it's just getting harder. We've been daiting for almost two years, and maybe that's just too long for us. Our personalities are clashing and we're both going different places in our lives. I've never been the type of girl to have a boyfriend for more than a month, it's always been a bit weird for me. Weight wise, I've lost around 2lbs. since the last time I wrote on here. It's not that I'm not trying to eat healthy, because I am. It's the whole exercise thing. I just don't enjoy running outside where people can see me dying and out of breath. I'd much rather go to a gym. So hopefully, by the time my first paycheck comes, I'll buy myself a pass for the YMCA or something cheaper. I'd like to take some pilates classes to tone out my legs, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------- These next two weeks I plan to spend at the shore and just enjoy my summer, but honestly, I cannot wait to start working! I know I will excel at this job. Have a lovely day! Melissa

| Alright. So I know that I said I was coming back to xanga [and don't worry, I am] but things got crazy from my last post until now. My laptop has had a very annoying and destructive trojan on it for the past...3 months. And then the monitor on our home computer decided to crap out. We finally got a new one the other day, and it's actually really nice. But it was hard not having a computer to use for an extended period of time. I was able to use my dad's laptop but not for long. It was just mainly to check emails and send out a few resumes here and there. Speaking of resumes...
I have an interview on tuesday with a financial company! It's still in Jersey, I was hoping it would be in New York, but I can't get everything I want. I'm somewhat excited about it, but at the same time, I'm sortof not interested. It deals with finance and accounting, which is what I want to do, but it just doesn't sound that appealing. I think when I go on the interview however I'll be more inclined and interested in the job. Other than that, I've put out about 200 resumes in the past month [No I'm not exagerating]. I've gone on a interviews as well and it's hard because there are usually 10 other people, from all wakes of life, and it's hard. But I can't give up. ----------------------------------------------------------- Nothing else in my life is really new [or that interesting]. I'm getting a new cell phone sometime this weekend or next week. I'm probablly going to get the new sidekick. I have an older version of one and I simply adore it. I like it because it's different. And I know that if I got a touch screen phone it would just get dirty. Plus T-mobile really doesn't have that many "cool phones" to choose from. And believe me, I want to stay on my parents plan, one less thing I have to pay for. I'm thinking that after Tuesday, or if I don't get the job, I'll go to the mall or something and try and find something there. I feel that at least I'll be working and that way I can be more picky about the companies I'm sending my resumes to. Ideally...
My perfect job would be to work for an international company with divisions in New York City dealing with Finance and Accounting. Yes, that might not sound like a fun time to you, but honestly, I love it. Daniel jokes around with me that I love it because I love money so much. [Which isn't 100% true. I mean everyone loves being able to go shopping and having money to spend, right?] -------------------------------------------------------- Back to the diet...
Intake:
1 peach + toast
Liquids:
l'eau: [x] [x] [x] [] [] [] [] [] Exercise: --------------------------------------------------------
Have a lovely day! Melissa

| It has been so long since I've written in this thing. My last quarter started at school and I just got swept up with school work and planning for my future, and of course there was some heavy partying involved. But anyways, here's the basis of what's going on in my life now:
-- Graduated with a 3.6 GPA (yay!)
-- Got a few job offers, none of which I took
-- Got into the France program, but I'm not going
-- Currently: no job :( The job offers I'm getting are all for financial advisors. It sounds all well and good but it sounds more like sales, and it is commission based. I'm not sure that it's right for me. I decided not to go to France, which I'm thinking now might be a mistake, because I was worried that I wouldn't know what to do afterwards and I'd still be back at square one. It was a tough decision but at that time I was confident that I would get a good job. And I have been getting offers and going on interviews, but sometimes I'm turning them down. I don't mean to be picky and I know that I shouldn't be, but honestly, I have a lot to offer a company. Anyways, everything else in my life is going pretty well right now. I've been home for 2 weeks and I've been on a few interviews, but I'm also taking time to enjoy the shore. I think for the fourth my family and I are going up to the city for the day and then the rest of the weekend we'll go to Avon. The next weekend I'm going down to Dan's time share with his parents and I'm going to stay for a couple of days. It's in Atlantic City and the hotel is really nice too. I'm looking forward to that. Other than that, nothing is really that new in my life. It feels great to be done with school and out into the real world now, I'm really excited. I'm probablly going to go to grad school in a year or so though, just so I can get my MBA and such. But for now my goal is to get a decent job, not sales, and to just enjoy being on my parents insurance and living in my house for a bit before I actually have to start paying huge bills. Melissa
