Miss Melissa

The best part of waking up is... you know what!

About Me

I am Melissa, alias Miss Ambition. The name fits. I am 22 and in graduate school at Eastern Michigan University. I am pursuing my degree in Sociology. Ultimately, I would like to achieve a doctoral degree, in either Sociology or Anthropology.My dream is to become a writer. I lover researching- nonfiction rocks! It's what I was made for.Recently, I had the opportunity to spend one month in India, New Dehli. That was a life changing experience. If you think life is hard in America, think again. I love my country, and I promise to never take it for granted again.

My Interests

I'll just list them point-blank: writing, reading, tweaking around with things to figure out how they work (esp. electronic devices), traveling, fashion, drinking coffee and eating chocolate, and organizing stuff.What can I say, I am straight-up, knock-out dork. It's what happens when you've been in college way too long!

I'd like to meet:

Uh...No one really springs to mind immediately. How about U2's Bono. Not only is he the lead singer of my favorite band, but he is an awesome humanitarian, like I would one day like to be.

Music:

Truthfully, I don't listen to music as much as normal people do. In the period between November 1 and January 1, I really enjoy the Christmas Music that WNIC plays. Otherwise, I like to listen to classic and jazz- or if I am playing spunky, I enjoy Bollywood and Bangrah.

Movies:

Yes, I like movies.

Television:

My favorite show of the moment is Ugly Betty. No, I don't have a reason, it's just a great show.

Books:

Books are my fuel. I love Anne Tyler, Jodi Picoult, and other authors who write books that challenge social norms and make you question what you believe and why. Lolita by Nabokov is nice like that. Recently, I read Geek Love by Katherine Dunn, now that is a distorted novel.

Heroes:

My hero is Hitesh, my beloved. That's sappy, I know- but I have learned so much from him and I am so happy that he is all mine, forever!

My Blog

It never fails...

If I decide that I hate something and will never use it, the more likely I am to ultimately pledge allegiance to that evil.  MySpace and Blogging are just the latest addition to this personal tre...
