Time for the once in a never post!!!! WOO HOO!!! Just a little something to let you kids all know what I'm up to.

Legal Research and Writing is done and finished. I'm hoping for a B or better in that class. It's kinda bitter sweet cause the prof was AWESOME but I can take him again later so all is well in the world!

The rest of my classes are going to kick my ass. Starting this weekend I have to get everything in gear for studying. I'm staying at school Friday evening, possibly making a brief appearance at a party, even if it's only for an hour or two, and then I have to go home and help clean (mother's orders). Saturday, get to school at 8 AM (yuck) to meet with my friend and study some more before there's a presentation about the writing competition (not getting into what that is right now but needless to say it's VERY important), then study some more, maybe go to the gym and then come home and clean some more. Sunday, if all goes well on Friday and Saturday, I'll go out with grandpa and my uncle and then probably go right back to school to study some more... unless mom's orders of cleaning guilt me enough into staying home.

It's going to be a long weekend... After that, Monday and Tuesday I have one class each. Review session of Crim next Friday, exams in a little over a week (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!). Then it's Summer! Things to look forward to (or not so much) in Summer:

Writing competition
Rome, Italy (WOO HOO!!!)
BBQ at Alexander's (HELL YEA!!!)
Working at Dad's firm (and get paid!)
Disney (yes only one trip)
On Campus Interviews

And with that, my summer would be complete. I'll try to remember to post pictures of things (like Italy) for you guys to see, but you know I'm terrible at such things. Anyway... that's all for now kids!

So i've been sitting here in the library for about... 4 hours and I feel like I didn't get much of anything done! Well, I didn't get any homework done, but I did get some reasearch done for my paper. That's the one annoying thing going on right now... that I have a paper due the day after the Super Bowl! How f'ed up is that? The hope (ha ha ha) is to be done with a draft this weekend so that I can get some feedback from my professor, then hand it in, edited, on Feb. 4. With any luck, it will be completely finished by the 2nd so that I may watch the game in peace.

Had an interview on Friday. I think it went well, but we'll see what happens in a few days. It'll be cool if I get it, be with a Judge while deciding cases, all that jazz. Thursday night I saw 27 dresses (again!) with some girls at law school and it was amazing the second time. Can't wait to see it a third and maybe a fourth time! Last night I saw P.S. I Love You with Anna, Matt, and Brian after dinner with Rose, which was definitely a tear jerker! But I loved it!! Good cry. Definitely a good cry.

As for tonight, no plans set yet but I'm hoping to get a bit more done here before my stomach decides that I can't stay in the library anymore. And since the cafeteria is closed, I really need to leave school in order to feed myself. So I'm hoping to get another 2 hours (at least) of work done before leaving to get food. I probably shouldn't have started chewing on gum. I'm likely to get hungry in... a second. Oh well.

Monday I'm going to go to the gym with my friend Ami. She goes Monday through Friday, but I figure if I go with her on Mondays and Wednesdays, then that's at least something! Also, i'm hoping to do something with my mom at home on the days I'm not going to the gym. Can I lose two dress sizes before September/October? We shall see. But that's the goal. To lose two dress sizes by the time September rolls around. If I can do that, then that's just one more step to liking myself more and becoming more confident. Now, I just read that 1 dress size is 10 pounds, so I guess I'm looking more for 8/9 dress sizes down, i guess that means I should stop eat Skittles...

Ok... back to work. I need to feel like I did something! And since I still have a lot of research to do, here i go!

Not even two weeks into the semester (or just barely two weeks) and i'm already behind on my work. Lucky me...

Got all my grades back. Did pretty much what I expected except in one class. Makes me wonder why I'm here. I guess I should use this opportunity to do better (and I'm hoping to do just that). My is blaming herself for "making me" go to Florida right before the final, but honestly, I'm not sure it's just shear stupidity that gave me the grade.

On the plus side, I have two interviews coming up. Hopefully my grades won't ruin any chances for getting either position. The first of (so far) two interviews is a week from tomorrow out in East Islip. The other is in February with the Supreme Court. It would be very nice to have a job lined up soon. It would be one thing off my head.

Also, my uncle is trying to see if his contact at Disney labor relations can do anything for me. That would be awesome but a wishful dream. Well, if anyone cares, if this whole thing doesn't work out (in other words I fail out of school) then I'm going to become a wedding planner and strive to have 27 different bridesmaids dresses! (I have 3 already and probably will get the 4th in about a year from now!).

Rose night tomorrow! YAY!!!

Another year, another semester, another... well something! I can honestly say that it seems that I not only got through my first semester, but have also passed. 2008 will be a big year of growing up and moving on for me. More so than I have thought possible. I don't think my sanity will allow it to be any other way. So, among other things, my New Year's resolutions are to lose at least 1 dress size before September, get a summer internship (maybe in California, but that's a long shot), study harder and try to keep ahead of the homework pile (failing at that one already, see below), and finally to try to become happier with myself. I don't know where I lost my confidence or self-esteem, but I'm hoping to use this year to get it back.

School started today and the general consensus was that the break was way too short! Not only is it weird to start before Martin Luther King's bday instead of after, but we start two weeks prior! The first day was pretty simple, class didn't start until 2, which makes Monday mornings so much more managable... although I'm not quite looking forward to tomorrow's 9 am class. Well, I'm sure to get used to it and hopefully the rest of my grades will come in in the near future. I'm expecting a B average, although a B+ or A- average would definitely be awesome!

Returning home from Florida was no easy feat. Sister is now married (OMG!) and will have all of her boxes shipped via fed ex for her new apartment. I will miss her, despite the fact I think we will get along better. The folks are still in Florida with the happy couple and I'm basically home alone.

Tonight, in order to dull the misery of returning to school so early, I went out with Rose, Tim, Brian, and Anna to On the Border for some food and dessert. Then, because I don't have a mother yelling that the house isn't neat, they came back to my place for some Wario Ware, which was loads of fun! Of course, I was supposed to do homework while they were doing this, but that didn't work out so well. Now they have all gone home and i'm going to try to do as much homework as humanly possible before collapsing for the evening.

Wish me luck!

This was a great weekend. The Bachelorette Party was fun, despite everything being closed except Disney property ($60 on cap fare later...). Karen was brought on stage at Jellyrolls and all the guys in the room sang "That Lovin' Feeling" to her. It was really funny! Friday was running around for the wedding and going to this neat little place called Tu Tu Tango. They give you appetizer size portions and then you order a bunch and eat as a group or individually. Next we hoped to go to bed early for a 6:30 wake up call to get ready. The morning ceremony and reception were wonderful! Very simple and elegant and all went down without any mishaps! Then we had a break until the evening reception in which we found this Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre show that we thought about going to on Sunday. Sunday we woke up at 10, went to David's Bridal to pick up my sister's dress and then had basically the rest of the afternoon off. That evening we went to the Murder Mystery show and that was a lot of fun as well. Afterwards, it was back to the hotel to pack and try to get that last bit of homework in before falling asleep for a 4:30 am wake up call to go to the airport. The flight was delayed about 2 hours, so I ended up missing the first class, which seems just as well because I hadn't done the homework and it turns out I was called on in class. Talk about your close shave! So now I'm just trying to stay awake for Contracts and then hopefully go home for sleep and homework.

Stupid memo with its stupid legal formatting and its stupid legal rules and analysis for stupidly taking up my entire stupid weekend!

Now change all the "stupid"s into "fool"s and then I sound like Franziska von Karma! "Foolish fool who foolishly talks about foolishly foolish fools!"

Yeah... can't wait to be done with this memo. But I got a lot riding on it! Hopefully this copy will be a million times better! It's gotta be!!! In case ANYONE was confused, school is definitely eating me alive and spitting out the bones. I think there would be less pressure if I stick a fork in my eye!

I want the semester to be over... but I'm not ready for finals! ARGH!

Good news - Nightwish is playing at Nokia Theater in Times Square!!!!!

Good news (no bad news attached) - the new lead singer of Nightwish sounds awesome! I kinda miss the old singer, but it still sounds awesome!

How many times do you hear that in your lifetime? Really, it's one of those phrases you kinda hate hearing even if you think it's true at the time. How many "first days" can one have anyway? Granted, starting law school is another chapter of my life as was college or even high school. Anyway, the point I'm really trying to make is that this is probably the first time I've felt unsure of what to do.

I met some cool people today. Some upperclassmen, some fellow students. They fed us breakfast, said a few words, split us up into our sections, had three alum speak to us, had two professors speak to us, then fed us again. I managed to get a spot on the orientation cruise this Friday. I'm going to have to cancel plans with Rose on Friday, which equals saddness, but it's a free cruise with booze! Oh yeah... the nickname for lunch was the BEER-beque because they served beer! Most of us aren't quite used to that. Also, there's a semi-formal in September and from what I hear, it's a top-shelf open bar. Crazy! I can't wait!

Anyway, it was all relatively welcoming for a first day! I'm still a bit nervous (Everyone is SOOOO smart!) but I hope with a lot of hard work, I can stand tall with all of them. I will be Mia Fey!

Until next time.

Wow... two posts in a week. How crazy is that?!

So really not much has been happening, despite the title. There was a mini-crisis at work today and yesterday, but I believe that it is all fixed now. At least I hope that it is. This weekend is Father's Day, so all this family stuff is planned (oh the joy...). Anna came over on Saturday and we watched lots of Fushigi Yuugi, which is always excellent. She and I are trying to make a routine out of it. She and Chaka are also planning on joining me in the city a week from Monday to see whatever free movie is playing at Bryant Park. Friday after seeing Rose, I'm trying to see "Nancy Drew." Hopefully I won't be too disappointed by how wrong it is for Nancy Drew. Also, Rose and I are possibly trying to make a trip next week. I gotta make sure it's okay with my mom before finalizing plans, but it has to happen soon if it's to happen at all! I hope it does. I would really like to make one crazy trip with friends before the beginning of law school.

Speaking of law school, basically things get crazy from here on in. Next Sunday I will be in the city for a week of schooling and maybe some fun walking around the city-ness. Then July will be my cousin's wedding, a trip to Disney with my family, which may possibly be the last one with just four of us. Crazy... your sister gets engaged and you start thinking about "last family vacations" and stuff like that.

Just a little ditty )

I'm slowly finding myself drifting. Where? I'm not really sure. All I know is that it has to happen and really I'm not doing much of anything to stop it. I could sit here and get mad at my world for drifting in the opposite direction but honestly, I know that's not right and blaming something or someone other than myself has never been my style.

What I really need to figure out is if what I'm feeling is an aversion to the change that's going to be happening at the end of the summer or if I've changed already and I just don't like what I've become.

This video was on my friend's post but since not all my friends also have her as a friend, I wanted to place it in my journal. There are subtitles for those, like me, who don't know Mandarin. Really beautiful, and sad, video.
