First day of schooL!

First day as a 2L/ full time law student! I am sooo excited to just have classes this semester instead of classes and work. Happy first day everyone!

Classes starting in 2 weeks...

Seriously... 2 weeks til fall classes start?! UGH.
I've been in law school for a full year now and pretty much made piss-poor grades the whole time. It is officially time to get SERIOUS ABOUT SUCCESS. I am going to get my ass in gear. Goals for the 2008 fall semester include:
- be prepared for all classes and finals
- do not wait until the last minute to outline/study
- start figuring out my plans for next summer.

AH!!!!!

Vacation!

Hola from family vacation in the Cayman Islands.... and of course by family vacation I mean family plus my little brother's girlfriend. I guess my parent's are progressive enough to invite her to come on vacation with us, but they're making ME share a room with her. We're staying in a three bedroom condo, and lucky me, we get the room with the two twin beds. What am I, 8? We got into our room and she goes "wow, it's like camp!"

Anyway, I like the girl, known her forever, but it's just kinda annoying to be the lone girl out on my vacation. My parents go off and do their thing, she and my brother go do their thing, and then I watch the Olympics. Which is totally fine with me... I could sit and watch Michael Phelps all day any day. Buuut, you get the point.

So anyway, last nite we are in our tiny beds, and I hear her coughing, and then barfing. Yep, she threw up on the floor (in her defense it was just a little bit - she made it to the toilet for the most part). After that, I've decided it was less like camp and more like freshman year in the dorms.

In other news, I have been e-mailing with the guy from online (I've decided to call him my internet boyfriend). We're going to meet next week when I get back from vacation. Ha. Now I'm freaking out that something will actually work out and I'll have to introduce him to my friends and they'll ask how I met him and then I'll have to make something up. Suggestions for good lies? Anyone? Bueller?

Grandparent's Day...

Was a good granddaughter today and took my granny to her weekly beauty shop appointment so she could get out of the house for a couple hours without my grandfather... I think she enjoyed it. I had nothing else to do, so it was no big deal for me, and I got a free lunch out of it! Whooo.

Leaving on vacation tomorrow, yay!

Back at home...

I'm back at home for a couple weeks before school starts up again in the fall. Chicago and I needed a break - I was way too shambley this summer, esp. without my dog there. I'll go back in the fall, be taking 5 classes, have the dog back, etc. Also on my agenda - participating in the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition 5k the last weekend in September. I participate every year, but I've decided that this year I'm going to run it. This means that after I get back from vacation I am going to have roughly 5 weeks to "train." I realize the idea of "training" for a 5k is ridiculous for most people, but I'm in terrible shape, drink like a fish, and absolutely despise running. SO - it's a lofty goal. I'm going to make the dog train with me... She's just gonna love it. I'm not going to try and run in a certain amount of time or anything - just want to be able to run the whole thing without walking. Big goals for the next couple months!!!

In other news - I joined match.com. I know, I know... never thought that I would do that. It's kinda fun, mostly pretty creepy. I suppose I joined match for a couple reasons: the guys in law schools are total losers, the guys in bars are total douchebags, and I'm ready for a relationship. I know, I know, you don't just get to decide that you want to be in a relationship, but I figure that even having bad dates is better than nothing. It's also kinda weird because I've had a few e-mails from a couple guys, but I feel bad talking to more than one guy at once... like I'm cheating or something. Ridiculous, I know, since I've never even met them. Obviously I just suck at the whole dating thing.
I'll post the e-mail that this one guy sent me later.... absolutely hilarious. He sounds like the biggest douchebag ever, and that's just over e-mail, so I cannot imagine what he's like in person. Ha.

That's all I got for now... until later, fabulous ones....
