Merry Christmas!

I am thankful for my family, for wonderful friends across the country, for good health, for the opportunity to learn and be a student again, and for all the other blessings in my life.

I am going insane.

Now that school's out and I have a lot of free time on my mind, I've been sitting and reading and thinking a lot.

Usually mom's suggestions/hints/comments about me needing a boyfriend roll right off my back and into the realm of ewwwwwww.

But after meeting up for coffee with an old friend and finding out about her newly engaged status and wedding #1 of 2006, suddenly mom's offhand comment this morning about finding a nice boy wasn't so ewwwwww.

Instead, it was a little hmmmmm.

I think it's a holiday thing. I'm fairly sure as soon as school starts and the school insanity kicks in, my personal sanity will kick back in and the hmmmm will be replaced by the ewwwww.

But until then... don't mind me. I've lost my mind.

Today I:

Woke up
Wrote some Christmas cards
Ate a chimichanga
Went to Safeway and bought stamps
Ran a few other errands
Read the news
Watched a couple episodes of The West Wing

And that's about it.

It's a thrilling fascinating life I lead.

Tomorrow I'm planning more of the same.

Vacation rocks.

I'm done. And I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. What does one do when they're not studing for a gajillion hours a day?

In my case, it's running errands for my mom, trying to catch up on my Christmas shopping and trying not to stress about how freakin' poor I am.

Oh, so on Tuesday I went out with a whole bunch of classmates and had some good times. Man, I love my section. Sure, we may be known as the anti-social section, but we still freakin' rock.

It's raining outside. It rained all day yesterday, all last night, and it's been raining all morning. I prefer snow to rain, just because it's less messy. At least, until snow gets to that slushy stage. Then it sucks.

Also, HOW FREAKIN SAD AM I that John Spencer, also known as Leo McGarry on one of my favorite shows The West Wing, died this weekend? I love his character and I love the way he portrayed Leo. What is Santos going to do?? His VP just died!!! And how freakin sad is it that he died of a heart attack, just like Leo almost died of. Man. Anyways, I'm sad. John Spencer rocks.

Today: church, more gift shopping, start christmas cards.

STICK A FORK IN ME CAUSE.....

I

AM

DONE!!!!!!!!


Drunken revelry will ensue tonight. But before then.... Italian feast. Life is good. :)

It is official. I am burned out.

At first I was glad they gave us so much time between finals. And Lord knows I needed all the stdying time I could get.

But this is getting ridiculous. My first exam was on November 29, and the last one is on Tuesday. Take a test. Study for the next one. Take a test. Study for the next one.

I finished exam number 4 yesterday, and for the rest of the day found myself unable to study. Pretty much unable to read. Today as I tried studying for exam number 5, I found myself staring out the window, daydreaming about what I would do if I failed all my exams. Moving to Korea, getting a job at Barnes and Noble and winning the lottery all came to mind. My ratio of not studying to studying was probably 2:1. I've just stopped caring.

Also, I find myself literally pulling my hair out of my head. And I've started biting my nails again.

As I sit here writing this, when I could be reading some more about jurisdiction (personal? general? subject matter? huh?), I'm getting pretty sick of myself and my incessant whining. It's the desperation that's talking. Which will soon be replaced by utter joy and inebriation, 11:31 AM on Tuesday. If you call me on Tuesday, most likely I'll either be drunk, tipsy, or cleaning my room. All my favorite things to do after I'm done with exams.

I'm going to read some more Civil Procedure now. Or maybe I'll go take a walk. Except that its 2:20 am. Ok. I am going nuts. F*** studying. I'm going to bed. And visions of FederalRulesofCivilProcedure will dance through my head.

It's official. I've lost my mind.

Four finals down, one to go. I cannot freakin' wait until Tuesday, December 13 at 11:31 AM.

But before that.... civil procedure. Oy.

In other news... oh man, how glad am I that I'm not in Chicago/DC/anywhere that's not here?

The End of an Era

My favorite baseball player was released from my team. That makes me sad.
I still heart JT Snow.

TIIIIIIIIRED.

I'm tired.

Of school.

Of exams.

Of finals.

Of the library

of anything feasance.

Less than one week left until his misery ends. Until then I have to deal with Torts, Civil Procedure, and this toothache. Owowowow.

Can't wait wait wait till Christmas break. Things to look forward to:
- Ankur's coming home for Christmas!
- Watching NU play UCLA in the Sun Bowl. Go Cats!
- Reunion with my girls!!!
- Another cousin having a baby. Yay babies!
- No school.

I'm pretty sure I failed a final today. Good times. I'm okay with it-- hey, everybody needs some failure in their life right? It's character building right? Blaaaahhhh. Who am I kidding? I suck.

Torts on Friday. Boooo. The class I am the most clueless, with the least amount of time to study. The next couple days are going to be enjoyable, I can tell.

One more week. One more week.

FINALS HELL

I am currently in the midst of FINALS HELL. Contracts was on Tuesday, Property today, three more over the next week and a half. I live at school. It's depressing. I study like crazy up until the final, then throw up all the information and try to empty myself of whatever subject so I can be a clean slate for the next final. It's like I have an eating disorder- I'm binging and purging myself of contracts/property/torts etc. I realize that's an insensitive statement. I apologize if y0u have an eating disorder.

So that's what I'm consumed by. To reward myself today, I indulged in some retail therapy and bought myself a pair of shoes. Yeeeaaaaah.

Another thing on my mind: my computer is going insane. I think I have a virus/spyware or something, even though I keep running my virus software and my spyware software. I'll be on the internet using mozilla, and internet explorer ads will pop up. I won't have any windows open and internet explorer ads will pop up. I'll have nothing open and an internet explorer error window will pop up. My computer is infected/haunted. Help!

EEEEHHH! At this very moment my computer started playing music and people started talking-- but no windows were open!!!!! WHAT THE HECK???!!!!!


My panda is growing:
