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…

In other news, check out my new wallpaper for Grey’s. I am in love with the show again, more specifically Owen/Cristina. HOT!

Okay, say it with me- “BARACK OBAMA 2008!” It’s getting so close! All US citizens 18 and over, who have not already registered to vote, please do so NOW! No matter what your party affiliation is, please vote. Though I have to admit the sight of Sarah Palin makes me cringe. Nope, global warming is not caused by humans at all. We’re gonna sit around and watch the polar bears die while you shoot your moose. Eck… she kicks back the progression of science, not to mention women’s rights (her stance on Roe v. Wade makes me shudder), about 50 years.

I feel completely in over my head this semester. I’ve taken on way more than I can handle- classes (it’s my senior year!), the LSAT and law school applications, and executive board positions in my sorority. I can only hope to trudge through this semester without fucking up too badly. It’s only the third week of classes and I’m waiting for it to be over!

I went up to New York the weekend before school started for my sorority’s formals and it was pretty fun. I discovered this Korean Spa in Flushing, I’m not sure what it was called, but it was pretty much heaven on earth! Ok, maybe not but it was soooo relaxing- two whole floors of hot tubs and saunas to choose from. I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance to go there.

I miss Europe. I know, I was complaining about it in the last post but thinking back on it, it wasn’t that bad. I think I’m having that “I wish I were anywhere but here” syndrome again. Someone please end this monotomy! Oh yeah, Europe photos are waaay overdue but I really don’t have the time right now. Please excuse the slowness of my comments. I promise I’ll try to manage my time better and fit everything in my schedule… and maybe even a new layout.

I am back from Europe! England and France are absolutely beautiful. The trip had its ups and downs. The public transportation system in London and Paris are freakishly efficient! I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to go back to using Boston’s T, lol. The only major gripe I had was the nearly non-existent customer service I encountered in Paris. Maybe they just have a different concept of good service or maybe it’s that there’s already a gratuity charge added to the bill. But I am a waitress and I work for my tips! I have yet to load the pictures from my camera to my computer but once I get around to it, I’ll post them.

On another note, I have yet to have a drink since turning 21. That’s really sad, but I’ll most likely be forced to get pissing drunk once I get back to Boston. I can’t wait to go back but I don’t want classes to start again! It’ll be my last year of college. After all these years, I still feel like the world is passing me by and all I’m doing is standing around waiting for my life to start. I want it to start now, dammit! I know it’s my fault. I’m a pretty passive person and let things happen around me instead of actively participating in my own life. Maybe this year will be different.
