A milestone of sorts was reached today. I went to pick up my graduation invitations. Of course now I have to mail them to my mother because she's going to send them out.
It doesn't feel like I'm going to graduate. There are still so many things left to do, which is why it's hard for me to swallow that it's just right around the corner. It hasn't stopped senioritis from settling in. My friend and I were joking yesterday about how finals were 5 weeks away and we hadn't read anything for any of our classes. Of course we can't tell 1Ls this because they look at us in utter shock. We 3Ls don't read. I do sometimes, which has garnered me the title of nerd on those occasions I actually mention that I read the day's assignment, but this semester has also been the one were I've passed twice in a class. I hate having to say 'pass.'
I have so much to do. It feels like I do. There's the 15 pager on fan fiction for my copyright class that I have yet to start, and the treaty analysis for my International Human Rights law class has to be written, much to my chagrin (sp?). 2,000 words to be exact. That's like a 10 pager and it's only 20% of our final grade.
Let me see, morphia still doesn't have a layout, and my poor neglected personal website needs a serious update. Today I need to fix the rest of the cgi on my domain and post up the challenges and new writings I've received. Four of us get the entries and I'm the only one putting up the damn things. Why? Well one I know, but the other two are lost in limbo. They said they would help me out with this, but have they, no. That irks me. It irks me more that one of them is supposed to be my friend, and yet he doesn't have the time of day to send me an email or even log on. At all. Last time I heard from him was Christmas. And I know he hangs around the forum, but does he even leave a message to say hello? No. He doesn't even post! He doesn't participate. Neither of the two do. Neither of the three actually, but the third one is excused because I know his reasons.
It's time for me to find new volunteers otherwise my domain is going to fall apart this summer, and I will not be amused.

That was Adrien Brody? He was the guy in Tori's video, A Sorta Fairytale. I'm so amused. I always wondered who he was because he reminded me of Trent Reznor, don't ask me why.

I'm finally back in SA. I'm not sure how that makes me feel seeing as this was my last vacation till maybe Thanksgiving.
There's so much going on in my head. So much I have to do, and it would be nice if the answers came with out any effort. I need to find an apartment, but I don't have a job. I can't find a job because my school now has a bad rap, and thanks to a low mean, my grades are far from stellar. This has made my parents consider convincing me to go back to El Paso. I absolutely refuse. I think I'm going to email Judge S. my adjunct prof for Trial Ad and see if he might be able to help. L. said that the last time she saw him and mentioned my name, he just started raving about me to everyone there at the special dinner for the SA Bar Association. Finding out about it was embarassing and helpful to the ego. I can't deny it. I just feel weird asking him for help.
Then there is the bar. If I start having nightmares about the exam, I'm going to freak. I am going to pass it the first time. That's not an option.
So, things I have to do tomorrow: Email S, call the locator about an apartment- 2 bedroom, washer and dryer, accessible, somewhere in downtown or near, and do some writing.
Honestly, I'm just going to take things one day at a time because it's not worth the stress. I'm tired of stress. I'm sick of feeling that growing up is a bad thing because it's not. I'm not going to be stuck in corporate hell. I'm going to be cool, and I'm going to write, and if someone gives me a chance, I'll be a damn good litigator too.
I'm going to pass the Texas Bar. 😉 I'm going to graduate in May with a JD, and I'm going to the Tori Amos concert. What more can I ask for?

Adrien Brody won the Oscar? Wow, color me surprised. I was going for Daniel Day, and it didn't work out that way. And do you think he has a crush on Hallie Berry?
This definately ranks as another amusing moment at the Oscars.
Eminem won too. Yay.
They're about to announce the Best Actress winner.

I don't know what was more amusing, Michael Moore's comments or the audience's reaction. It was classic.
Quote of the night: "Everytime someone gets an Oscar, an agent gets his wings."

Go Gael! Cuanto a que no se esperaba eso la Academia.
Surprises so far tonight:
I can't believe Catherine Zeta Jones won the Oscar. And she looked so happy, I can't complain.
Yay for Elliot Goldenthal. I admit I'm a dork. I got a kick out of hearing the announcer mention his previous nominations, including Interview with the Vampire.
The Sharon Stone commercial. Groan. Damn. She looks good for her age.
Now they're presenting The Hours.

Steve Martin was on a role tonight. I needed a laugh. He made us all laugh. My dad even came to the living room to mock us because we were laughing so much.
And why did they interrupt the broadcast to report this? They aren't saying anything new. Ah, the news is off now. Good.

What time is it? It's Oscar time baybee!!! So far I've liked the dresses, but the new style, having one strap over the shoulder, is just icky. And Nia Vardalos looks so thin.
And they've started!!

So there I am, happily watching Angel when suddenly the news station cuts in to announce we're at war. In the last five minutes of the show no less. I'm so irked!!
This war, I still don't know if it's a good thing. I just know that a lot of lives are going to be lost, and in the end will it have been worth it?
I promise to start updating more tomorrow, along with a possible review of tonight's Angel. That is assuming I don't get sucked into reading A Clash of Kings. That or my International Human Rights Law reading for Tuesday. hehe
Actually, I just remembered. I promised the prof a rough draft of my paper on fan fiction for Tuesday also. ugh.

I'm finally reading a Game of Thrones after it's been sitting on my shelf for the past two years. Why didn't I read it sooner? I had started to on the day of a doctor's visit that would eventually lead to surgery, and I got to page 11, but then I dropped it. Then Friday, at the airport, I decided to read it and by page 11 I was hooked. I want to know who the Others are. I want to know if Ayra lives because I like her and Bran and Jon Snow and Dany. I can't stand Sansa or the Lannisters except for Tyrion. And Cat gets on my nerves, probably because of the way she treats Jon. I'm up to page 434, and I'm going to finish it now and hope I can find my brother's copy of book 2.
