I’m at home right now. Doing nothing. Watching Law and Order:SVU when I should be studying. I just need to take a break from school. I can’t believe it’s already been five weeks! It’s been fun and all but mad exhausting. I think I’ve studied more in these five weeks than I did in all four years of college. At least I’m using my brain. Unfortunately that doesn’t make you lose weight. I think I’m gaining weight while I sit in front my books all day. That’s bad when I need to buy new clothes. I now need to look like I’m training to be a “law professional.” That means no more wearing Johnny Cupcakes t-shirts and sweats to class. =[

Here I am. I moved into my appartment at my law school today. My room is cramped and small. I’ve been spoiled by my undergraduate housing. =[ At least least I get a nice view of Chicago… sort of… out of my two-inch window. Everything has seemed so overwhelming in the past few weeks. All these forms to fill out and stuff to read. It’s only going to get busier once the semester starts. My roommate seems cool and we met a bunch of nice people at a mixer earlier so maybe law school won’t suck completely. I think I have everything under control so far. I just reviewed and outlined the best method of taking notes from a law school prep book my roommate handed me. Time to get into uber-geek mode!
I have a bad habit of disappearing for a long period of time and another of writing very emo-like posts which upon re-reading, I want to delete immediately but for reasons of future possible reference, will not. I also have a habit of writing very long sentences. With that aside, Happy Valentines Day… for those with sweethearts. For me, I have a batch of mint chocolate truffles that I whipped up. Things are going smoothly in life, at least for now. I’m still waiting to hear back from some law schools… *twiddles thumbs*… any minute now. But no worries, I have a few scholarship offers from schools on the table. Yep, life is ok. Maaadd senioritis is kicking in. I’ve been doing horribly (by my standards) in my classes but I don’t care. It’s all gonna be over in a few months so might as well enjoy what’s left. Instead of focusing on school, I’ve been working and cooking a lot lately to make up for the lost time last semester spent worrying about lsats and law schools. Check out foodwishes.com. Chef John is awesome! In addition to the truffles, I made pizza, chicken wings, and crepes. All so yummy! Seriously now, no major changes in update-land though this site needs massive reconstruction. Will work on it over the three-day weekend. =P I just joined a book challenge over at elocutio run by the lovely Aleida. Do it- join now! I now have two books on my list, haha. I’m not adding books I read for class cuz well, that would be cheating since I’m required to read mad books as an anthropology major. =) If you need something to read, try Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews. It’s purty good if you like Buffy-esque stuff. Last thing, I’m considering accepting hostees again cuz it’s kinda lonely here. =( I remember having a bunch in my early days of website-ing. Apply if you think you might be interested. I’m off to finish watching My Girl now. Those Korean dramas are super addictive! I think My Girl might be my favorite one so far. Last last thing- does anyone own a G1 phone? Mine keeps dropping calls like crazy. I don’t think it’s T-mobile since I’ve never had this problem with my other phones. It’s making me angry!
It’s 2009. A new year. Where did the rest of 2008 go? Anyway, I am back after an entire (!) semester’s absence with a new layout featuring the uber sexy T.O.P. of Big Bang. (Yes I am older than him by a couple months but I still find him hot!) Let’s recap my horrible semester: I did nothing. Yes, I took the LSAT (don’t want to talk about it) and I turned in my law school applications (don’t wanna talk about that either) but I feel like I’ve accomplished nothing in my four years of college. I’ve completely wasted all my time and for what? I’m not really sure. I was so tired/anxious/depressed this entire semester and I don’t ever want to feel like that again. Going home for break kinda put everything into perspective. My sorority is important to me but it shouldn’t feel like it’s taking over my life. If something makes me feel like shit all the time, I shouldn’t really be doing it, should I? Also it’s okay if I don’t get into a top 10 (or even top 20) law school. I’ve already been accepted to one school with a scholarship so I WILL be okay in the coming year. So thank you family for letting me taking a step back and realizing what’s really important in my life right now. No matter what happens this semester (my last semester of college!) I’ll… just dance. It’ll be ok, da da doo doo…
