Well, it’s over. It wasn’t as tiring as last year, but I still feel like I was hit by a train. I’m so tired, it’s like I have the flu but I don’t.
I got to see a friend from law school whom I haven’t seen in almost 2 years. It was good to see him–he also took the bar. But I totally got the I-like-you-let’s-hook-up vibe. We went out to dinner and had a couple drinks. Now, he’s a good looking, nice guy. But I’m sooo not interested. Why? Let’s see, he’s almost 40, lives at home, is foreign, divorced, and I feel bad for saying this, but he’s failed the bar 3 times. Now, I probably failed so I can’t really judge him. But with all of the combined factors plus a few others, its just not going to happen. And it’s like, why does he have to even go there? We’ve never, ever, had any kind of attraction before. We went to law school for 3 years together and he was a good friend. We weren’t super close or anything, but just because I’m being nice to him and hope to see him when I move to Major City, doesn’t mean that I “like” him. Ugh. So now I’m guessing next time I see him there’s going to be weirdness.
In other news, I watched my friend’s kids today while she had to run errands. They are 5 and 2, and never stopped moving. The whole time. They’re great kids, but man, they wore me out. It sucks because she is moving to Utah on Monday and I probably won’t see her for awhile. Not that I’ve seen her all that much in the last year or so, but she’s still one of my to-the-end friends. We’ve been friends since we were 13 and although we’ve lived far apart since the time we’ve been 18, I’m still going to miss her. It just sucks. Most of my friends are scattered all over the country and world, and I hate that. But at the same time, I’m moving away too. I just wish I could live in Major City, but still have all my dear friends close to me.
And I’m still obsessed with In Treatment. It’s such an emotional show. Go watch it!

So I’m copying Blue Soup and calling all you lurkers to comment. I know my blog isn’t terribly exciting or that regular, but some of you are coming back daily. So why? And why no comments? Say hello 
In other news, the bar is exactly one week from today. So I may not post again between now and then. Something like 10 subjects to cover in 5 days is freaking me out a little bit…

Happy (early) Valentines Day! Although it’s not my favorite day, I know some people love this day. Whatever floats your boat I guess.
I’m off to another Rainy City tomorrow for a 3-day bar exam prep. I know you’re all jealous. A full practice test followed by 16 hours of lecture sounds thrilling eh?
Still fighting off a cold. I think lack of sleep is contributing to the problem.
Oh and has anyone seen “Across the Universe”? I kinda want to see it but am wondering if its worth my time…

I wonder if it’s possible to transfer viruses/colds via the internet? If so, thanks Dom I’m laying low today and not studying until later. I feel like crap. Thank God for Emergen-C and sleep! And Chinese food and cheesy movies.
Tomorrow is the presidential caucuses. I would go but I have to study Property law. Yes, easements and fee simple absolute are more important than Barack or Hilary or John at this time. And I’m not feeling any of them anyways. Good thing I’m a dual citizen eh?

So nothing exciting is really going on here. I’m glad it’s February though. I hate January for no other reason than it’s a cold, miserable month. The only thing I don’t like about February happens in 13 days, otherwise known as Single Awareness Day. Ugh, I hate Hallmark holidays. But tomorrow is Groundhog Day so that’s great!
My new thing is green tea. I’ve decided to drink that instead of Coca-Cola. Green tea has a lot of health benefits, and Coke really doesn’t, unless you count the caffeine rush that I need to live But green tea is good so far. A lot less calories and it has caffeine!
I saw “27 Dresses” the other day. I thought it was quite good besides the fact the theatre was filled with a bunch of annoying teenage girls. There was no school that day and so of course I picked the wrong day to see the movie. They talked, laughed, stomped the floor and texted all the way through the movie. Grr. And I don’t mean laughing at the funny moments. But otherwise I quite enjoyed it. I love Katherine Heigl and have since “My Father the Hero.”
Alright, only 25 days til the bar, so back to the books!
Happy Weekend!

So this week by too fast for my sense of well-being. Only 4 weeks ’til the bar exam! Yikes. Ugh, I’m so sick of talking and thinking about this test. I just can’t wait for it to be mid-March and I’m on my way to Major City.
So when I have overwhelming stress going on in my life, I like to divert my attention to something of no consequence and stress out about that. For the first few weeks of studying, I obsessed over finding the perfect under-eye concealer. Who knows why but I did. I finally settled on YSL Touche Eclat, but I’m not 100% convinced that I can’t live without it.
So now I want a new cell phone. This is dangerous territory. For one, my current phone is perfectly fine. In fact, it’s the only cell phone I’ve ever had that hasn’t given me problems. But it’s just…boring. I want an iPhone dang it. I want my ipod, gps (i think), internet and phone all in one. But there are problems: no money to actually buy one ($300+ is too much right now) plus I’m in my contract until oh next February. Another year of Sprint! I could buy a new phone, but unfortunately their phones suck and I don’t want to get sucked into another stupid 2 year contract. So therefore, I will have to find a new obsession to distract me from studying. Hmm….

Ok, I am soooo unbelievably stressed out right now. This bar prep is driving me mad. I just don’t know how I’m going to learn it all and cram it in my head in the next 4 weeks. The bar I did last year was different although I was still stressed, if not more, as it was my first time.
And it’s not helping that my family is harassing me to do stuff around the house. Sorry, washing the floor is just not as important as learning the exact phrase of personal jurisdiction, ok? Or my friend M. who tells me that I need to study more. More than 8 hours? Physically impossible for me. My brain shuts off and I get antsy.
I know I can do it, sometimes I just don’t want to. I think I’m going to go see a movie tomorrow morning and then hit up the library. Oh and I have a weird stalker at the library who stares at me constantly. And then there’s the weird lady who won’t stop coughing. See why I’m stressed?

Ok. I think I finally figured out a theme and widget set-up I like. Argh. This is too time consuming! But kinda fun… Now if my picture would actually show up like it says it’s supposed to!
It was sad hearing that Heath Ledger died. He was my age. Crazy. I feel bad for his daughter.
So that’s pretty much my day in a nutshell. Back to the books. And if it would only heat up a little bit. It’s like 25 degrees outside. Far too cold for my pretty little self I am eagerly anticipating Major City’s warm weather!

Ok, so I’m at wit’s end here. I don’t know how to add a “tag cloud” and my stupid picture won’t show up for my avatar! Annoying! Meanwhile, I should be studying. *Sigh. But this is much more interesting. Especially compared to implied easements of necessity or the Rule Against Perpetuties. Vom.

So I moved from Blogger for some other features only available on WordPress. We’ll see how it goes. I’m not too sure I’m in love with the layout, but that’s easily changed.
Wow, my life is boring! Alas, that will all change in March!
