On to Week Three...

Law school is tiring. It wears me out. I wish I had more to say, but that basically sums up the experience thus far.

I should be starting my outlines. We've finished a section in Torts, gone through two chapters in Contracts, and two sections of civil procedure. Granted one of those sections and one of those chapters was just introductory stuff, but still. I don't like not feeling as if I am on top of things as much as I can be. I want to be queen of the mountain, damn it.

Saturday was a fantastic football day. I love this season. I love fall. Just need tv shows to start back up again.

Bah, I had so many things to say when I first sat down to write, but now my head is empty. Story of my life.

New Year

Admittedly I am more excited about Vanderbilt winning its first bowl game in 53 years than I am about 2009.

This happens with me and football. We have a love/hate relationship. Really.

Although, I may be more excited about Vandy than 2009, because I have no plans tonight. Sadness. I have a family christmas tomorrow (in the morning!) that apparently I can't miss. Ugh. I don't want to go, I don't want to go, I don't want to go. I have to though, since it is my 97 year old great grandmother that is having it. For obvious reasons I can't miss it. Plus I still don't have a front license plate either. Joy.

LSAT

I took the LSAT today. I think I did okay. Not sure though.

Then I went to the festival. It was kind of fun, but not really. I went to it last year and the first night is the best night to go. Of course the first night was last night... so being the responsible (nerd) kid I am, I stayed in and ate cookie dough ice cream instead.

My team won today too and so did Vanderbilt. Yay! I love college football. I love this season.

Visited my dad today too. He's doing alright, but it doesn't look like he's getting out of the hospital anytime soon. On the brightside I can see him everyday, but I know it sucks for him to be here. I just wish he would get better.

Lazy Saturday

LSAT class this morning at 9. Wow it was hard to get up. I shouldn't have gone out last night...

The teacher came in this morning and says, "I have two things to say. The first is I realize that the top button of my dress is missing and secondly, I am 87% margarita, 3% gin and 10% dehydration, so cut me some slack. And yes, the second part may be related to the first." It was a good class though. It's always good practice, in the very least. I need to be doing my homework for it. I kind of slacked off last time, but I wanted to do when I had time and could fully devote my attention to it. I guess I'm just going to have to make that time for it.

My family is coming up for the football game today. I'm excited. It should be a fantastic game, a blow out really. And Amelia wants to hang out tonight! I rarely see her anymore, she's always with her boyfriend it seems. So hopefully, it'll be a great Saturday.

Football and Brotherly Love

We won the football game. It got a little close for comfort in a few spots, but we won. My family was a little disappointed because they had expected the game to be a blow out and it wasn't, but the other opponent was ranked too and is a great team as well. Anyway, the win may not have been the best part about the game. My dad has a friend who works for a multi-billionaire so we got to watch the game from a box suite.

It was beautiful. I felt like I had died and gone to heaven, seriously. The view of the field was outstanding, there was chips, chex mixes, potato chips, and peanuts everywhere. Free sodas and beers were in the fridge (access to a fridge!!). And maybe the best part about it, the suite had it's own bathroom. Heck yes. It was amazing. The whole thing was amazing.

It was great hanging out with my family too. My family is great. My parents are supportive and I get alone well with my younger brother (there is only a three year difference between us). He's great. He's a senior in high school, but he acts so mature. What I really admire about him is his convictions. He defends his beliefs and doesn't back down to pressure. I wasn't that strong in high school and I'm not even sure I am now, but this kid... he won't bend. He has no desire to drink, ever and honestly believe he won't. Unless he makes the decision (on his own) to drink. I seriously doubt he will drink because his friends want him to, if he ever does, it'll be because he wants to. I admire that. A lot.

I've been editing my personal statement today. This will be my fourth edit on the thing. I'm so tired of it. I dread doing it. To make matters worse, some of the law schools I'm applying to want their applicants to include why they want to attend the school in their personal statements. The personal statement I've been working on is a broad one, which means this fourth edit will not be my final edit.

I just want to be done with the thing.

Football!

I'm awful. I haven't studied any LSAT stuff since the practice test on Wednesday. I really need to get on it. I also need to keep editing my personal statement, but I haven't touched that in weeks either. Maybe this weekend.

Ugh, but of course, I have plenty of homework to do this weekend also. I have to write a short paper over a book (the Epic of Gilgamesh) but I don't think that'll take two long. I have to do my Latin quiz and translations, but that'll take maybe two hours. And finally, I have to read three articles for Economics and I have to read some for my feminist class. It's just a ton of reading. Okay, Gilgamesh reading and paper today and tomorrow. I'll do Latin tomorrow too and maybe the feminist reading too and I'll save Economics for Tuesday.

Big football game tonight. I'm so excited. I love football and my college is supposed to do well tonight too. Most sports analysis' have us picked to win. I love college football.
