SF makes me mad

Posted on January 11, 2008
I am not a city girl. I have never claimed to be one and I will never become one. I thought, once, that I could be a city girl when I moved to San Francisco. The city seemed so full of life and endless opportunity and possibility. There was always SO [...

Scrub envy

Posted on January 11, 2008
My plan to go to the library each night to study, instead of studying in bed and taking frequent breaks to chat with the roommates, has been in place now for two nights. I consider this successful. Small victories. Since UCSF is so close to my house, I walk up the hill to its [...

Seriously - now I?ve gone off the deep end?

Posted on January 07, 2008
Ok. So, as if it wasn’t enough that I’ve been feeling depressed and unmotivated and just started a new f/t job and am trying to get in gear studying for the bar, I saw a posting on Craigslist that I just couldn’t pass up. On Feb. 3, 2008 (yes, about a month from now), PanCAN is [...

I’m not going to pretend. I am depressed. I know I said I would try to remain positive in my posts, and I know that failing the bar is NOT the end of the world and I am still a valuable human being, and who wants to read musings about a life that is really [...

Office Space

Posted on January 03, 2008
Although I failed the bar, I somehow managed to finagle my way into an office with a window. My little space (all mine, i think!) sits next to the corner office (my boss) on the 8th floor of a decent-sized building in downtown SF, just a few short blocks from the Ferry Building...

Happy 2008!

I spent the New Year sick. Unfortunately, not drunk-sick from celebration, but the other kind of sick. I’m feeling much better now, and at least being physically ill prevented me from being too emotionally miserable as I thought about how I’ll only be seeing my sexy man for 8hrs this entire month and I’ll be [...

The Reason

Posted on December 21, 2007
Whatever your belief, your plight, your despair - there is SOME reason to celebrate this week. Hold onto that hope, that moment - whatever it is - take a deep breath, and enjoy the gifts you’ve been given. *Merry * Merry * Christmas friends!!

Be careful what you wish for

Despite my “um’s” and “ya know’s” and the yawning of my interviewer, the tuesday job interview must have gone better than I’d thought. This morning, I spoke with Potential Employer #1 about working as a F/T temporary employee for a little while to see if I would be a good fit for the company...

Oh, what a weekend away can do!

Posted on December 18, 2007
After a GLORIOUS three days in a rustic, snowed-in cabin near Tahoe, I am pleased to report that I am no longer sick *yay!* (thanks to all for their good thoughts!) and I feel refreshed and have a new attitude about this whole study-for-the-bar thing...
