Sex and the Twit-y...

Posted on June 06, 2008
Believe it or not, Sex & the City was a feminist show ? at least in the beginning and at least in the area where I was living. SATC kicked off a year after I finished college, promising an honesty and equality never before witnessed in my reality. Women could sleep with whomever they wanted without social retribution...

I promise to write soon...

Posted on June 04, 2008
Hey readers...I haven't forgotten you - in fact, I've been writing most days, BUT apparently my apathy has turned to teenage angst, and every time I finish a piece in the last week or so, I reread it to find that it is mean, whiny, bitter, angry, or otherwise icky...

A real-life post...

Posted on May 28, 2008
I try to keep my posts within the voice of Ana, but since many of my readers are also bloggers, I had to tell this story. At my graduation, my sibling and their significant other sat me down to tell me about my graduation present. "Well, we know how much you like to write and blog," they said...

Does this guy really exist?

Posted on May 27, 2008
Because seriously, if somewhere out there is an alt-looking, long-haired guy with a scruffy beard who also has a job that requires a suit (meaning he works somewhere other than a coffee shop or a bar) and changes diapers at parties, I WANT HIM.

Discovering your inner 'blah'...

Posted on May 25, 2008
My brain is so empty right now. With finals, graduation, family visits, and the rest, I really needed a break, but the lack of structure over the last few weeks has left me a walking zombie. It?s miserably hot outside right now, so Martha and I just make quick trips to the park instead of our usual extended walks...

It's been awhile since I said...

thanks, dear readers! [Locations of the 100 most recent hits today] Esp., LA, San Fran, NYC, Chi-town, and Houston! ;-) Oh, and of course, BOSTON. You make me feel loved.

I guess you could say I'm eclectic?

Posted on May 22, 2008
Back at the video store today, I was having difficulty choosing a title and asked the employee for a suggestion. "Oh sure," he said, "No problem. We have a program for that." A program? Yeah, a program that analyzes all of your past rentals and then suggests movies for you...

barbri...wheeee!!!

Posted on May 20, 2008
Shortly after graduation, I realized that many of my friends were enrolled in class. Classes for what, I asked. Weren?t we all done? PMBR. What the heck was PMBR? A multi-state examination class which covers 40% of the bar exam. You mean that isn?t covered in the $2500 I spent on BarBri? No...

I guess this means I'm a lawyer...

Posted on May 19, 2008
I checked my grades today, and only one is in. Want to know where it is? Flat on the curve (thus lowering my GPA). My first response? Did I think I should have studied more? No. Did I reproach my already delicate psyche? No. Instead, my immediate thought was, "I should sue the bastard that gave me that grade...

Online Dating?

Posted on May 19, 2008
I don?t know what it is about graduating, but I remember that ten years ago when a good friend finished law school she immediately signed herself up with ?It?s Just Lunch.? I guess once you get the career thing down, you?re suddenly thinking, ?Hmm?a boy...

Couch-vegging...

Posted on May 16, 2008
The fam finally left and I spent the day on the couch in a movie-watching marathon. What I didn't realize when I swept through the video store plucking up DVDs without reading the back is that I having an amazing knack to find the most depressing movies in the world...

I am so excited. So, so, so excited.

I am so excited. So, so, so excited. It's almost over!

Done.

In a minor state of bliss. Will chat more later. Margaritas and dress shopping await.

I hopped out of bed today like it was Christmas morning.

Third final done. Last one is

Posted on May 07, 2008
Third final done. Last one is tomorrow. I've been a see-saw of emotions all day and just keep telling myself that this will all be over shortly. I think I overdid it on this round, and if I end up making good grades, I'm not sure it will have been worth the effort or the anxiety...

You know your a 3L when...

Posted on May 06, 2008
...you have an exam the next day, and your only anxiety in relation to it is whether or not you will accidentally sleep through it.

My creativity is a little shot right now...

Please Excuse the Grumpiness!

Posted on May 06, 2008
If my posts seem a little on edge lately, there's a reason. No, I'm not particularly worried about my grades or my exams. I just can't seem to sleep. For the last three nights around midnight I've crawled into bed exhausted and ready for rejuvenation...

Why you shouldn't take health law classes...

Posted on May 05, 2008
Need to read something from a medical journal? No problem. Westlaw has all that stuff, right? And as a student, you get everything, right? Wrong. I can't tell you how many times in the last couple days I've gotten this lovely message: We cannot process your request because access to these materials is not authorized under your subscription agreement.

Guilt...

Posted on May 05, 2008
Owner, when are you going to stop studying and come out to play? Despite, standard definitions indicating the contrary, I feel like the bitch in this situation. For the record, I have not enclosed her in the crate. Rather, she is camping out there in protest and refusing to lie in her dog bed next to my desk.

From the administration: "Students

Posted on May 05, 2008
From the administration: "Students should not leave items in the [Private Study] Rooms for extended periods of time. If you are leaving, please remove all of your belongings. I realize this is great study space, but it is not fair to others for you to attempt to ?mark your territory...

Easy to Please...

Posted on May 05, 2008
Last night, something rolled under the bed, and I grabbed my broom to go retrieve it. This process also turned up one Kong ball and no less than FIVE tennis balls. Can I just tell you, the kid is in heaven today. Heaven! She is running all over the house, multiple tennis balls flying everywhere.

Why the Dog is Awesome...

Posted on May 04, 2008
During exam period, I always start off studying at school, but once I?ve found my groove, I switch over to studying at home. After a particularly long, boring day in exclusion, I thought I might need a change of scenery and headed over to the law center...

I've hit the wall of exhaustion

I've hit the wall of exhaustion and apathy.

When Do You Tell Yourself to Stop?

Posted on May 03, 2008
I've covered about 450 pages worth of International Crim Law today. I'm telling myself that I need to cover 250 more. The problem is, I'm really tired and wondering if doing so will make much of a difference. Clearly, I've already put a lot of time in...

More Reasons to Hate Finals...

Posted on May 03, 2008
At 4:30 pm today I decided to take a break from studying and get out of my pajamas, take a shower and change my underwear. After exiting the shower I applied lotion to my legs only to discover that I'd shaved the right leg twice and completely missed the left one.

When will this be over?

Posted on May 02, 2008
I decided to take a short break and pulled out my latest copy of the New Yorker. Half way through Sedaris' article about smoking I realized I was highlighting.

I feel like in order to get some

Posted on May 02, 2008
I feel like in order to get some productive studying done, I should really take a nap. Yet I'm hesitant to take a nap because I need to study. So instead I'm smoking a cigarette and eating Oreos. This makes a lot of sense, no?

Okay, so we've now completed two

Posted on May 02, 2008
Okay, so we've now completed two papers, one research project, and two finals with two finals to go. I feel like I'm in the homestretch. My take home final was a little odd. It wasn't difficult, just comprehensive. I think in-class finals are much better...

bleh...

Posted on May 01, 2008
I'm in the middle of a take home exam - which I'm writing on Word. A few minutes ago, I clicked on print preview in order to see how far down the page I was. The darn thing froze. It's still frozen, and I'm trying to decide whether to shut Word down (in which case I lose some of what I'd written) or wait (for who knows how long) for it to come back to life...
