¿Donde está Melody?

For some reason, hawks seem to be my sign from God that I will make it home soon... So with that being said, it isn´t so strange that I saw a hawk fly overhead while I was hanging up my laundry for the last time here in La Punta de Bombon. I used to write on xanga way back in the day and here are two other examples of times I´ve seen hawks...

Once upon a time, there was a poor, stressed out design freshman wondering across campus to find a copy machine that actually worked. She walked through wooded areas and crossed dangerous highways, when all of a sudden, not more than 100 feet from the studio, the most amazing thing happened. A huge, magical bird came swooping down from the sky right above her head and as she looked up it seemed to be telling her that everything would be all right and she would be home soon. You see, this was not just any bird, it was a hawk, and this was not just any girl, she was from Hamburg. It is said to this day that this "hawk" was actually a message sent directly from home ensuring that the distraught freshman would make it through just one more day.

and i´m throwing in this one because i just saw it and think its a hilarious memory...

just pulled THE funniest prank...the obnoxious boys next door left their desk in the hall so angie and i took it upon ourselves to move the desk all the way down the hall and place it in the elevator....just minutes later after explaining the situation to megan, we venture into the hall to photograph the situation only to find the unhappy owner of the desk in the elevator with his desk and a confused look on his face while he explains, "this is my desk. but i don't know why its on the elevator. i think my roommate did it." so we ride in the other elevator to the basement hoping to catch it at the bottom for photographs only to have the door open to his roommate and the desk looking even more unhappy than his friend and he says.."someone was nice enough to put this in the elevator for me." hahahahahahaha
