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.

New layout. Finally! This is from a segment of the movie Paris, je t’aime. There’s not much in other news. I can’t believe summer is half over already! There’s not enough time… I’ve been doing nothing except working and studying. I need to go shopping soon. I need some new summer clothes and a formal dress! But before I buy a dress, I want to lose one whole dress size. Size 3, here I come! Time to hit the treadmill.

I haven’t posted in a while cuz I was hoping to have a new layout up before I do. But… as you can see, there is no new layout.
I really have no idea what to do. I’ll just wait till inspiration hits me… which hasn’t happened in a loooong time. I feel like this layout was sort of thrown together. Maybe when I go to Europe next month, I’ll be inspired! Speaking of Europe, Spain won the Euro cup!!! What a victory! I wanted to see Turkey in the finals. That would have been an incredible match! Can’t wait till World Cup 2010!
I’m back at home now. I came back about three weeks ago. I decided not to take the LSAT till October. I’m trying to study more during the summer and hopefully I’ll get a good score when I do take it. I Haven’t been doing much else here except watching movies. WALL-E was pretty cute. A somewhat horrifying view of what the future could be like, but the little robot is too adorable. I rented Paris, je t’aime yesterday. There were some cute segments (the Gurinder Chadha one), some touching ones (the Nigerian man part), and some just… truly bizarre (the hairdresser one). Overall I liked it and I really can’t wait to see Paris again for myself!
