AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

So my favorite firm in the whole wide world just emailed me to go for a call back interview!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS Call backs are when you go to the office and interview with a bunch of people and possibly go out to lunch. There is a very strong possibility this could be the one to get me the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Found My Firm

I've decided where I want to work.

I just have to wait for them to decided they want me to work for them.

They're an IP firm that does lots of stuff, supports family life, and allows a life outside the firm.

I've never felt this way about a firm before. It's like love at first sight or something. Love at first interview? I don't know.

All I know is I want this firm. Now I just have to wait. And apply to other firms in the interim.

Sleeping and Dreaming

Last night, I had a dream that affected me so profoundly, I woke up crying. In my dream, these two children lost their father and they were having to recap it some sort of forum. I was so upset by their story that I woke up with tears in my eyes and continued to cry after waking up.

I finally was able to make myself stop and go back to sleep.

I'm really weirded out by this. I've never cried because of a dream. And now I really can't remember exactly what happened.

When Did I Become "Abrasive"?

I don't remember being abrasive at any point in my life. I remember being brought up with a lot of respect for my elders and a concern for my fellow man (i.e. a democrat). Since law school, I have been referred to in some way or another as abrasive at least twice. When did this happen?

Have I always been this way, but now people are blunt enough to tell me? Did I become bitter in my twenties? Have I just become a bitch? Am I abrasive in the Cordelia Chase way, or do I go too far?

Is this a deep problem that I've never addressed? How can I change this? I'm only 23. There has to be time to fix this, right?

Am I in need of a deep personality make-over?

The Sims 2

I HAVE TO HAVE IT.

LIKE NOW.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I CAN WAIT.

I NEED IT.

THEN I'LL NEVER GO TO CLASS AND FAIL AND LOSE ALL MY FRIENDS.

BUT I HAVE TO HAVE IT.

(YES, AND THIS POST DOES WARRANT NEEDING ALL CAPS.)

A False Charge

You know when you're running out of time, but you really need your phone charged? You decided that it's better to charge for about 30 minutes than leave it dead. When you take it off the charger, it says it's fully charged, but you know there is no way that phone is fully charged. It make think it's charged because it just got a surge of energy. It's fake. In an hour it will notice that it's not really charged and starting to die. At that point you've returned home, but you don't want to charge it just yet. You want it to completely die. There may not be any real reason for that, but you just do. So, it doesn't die, and you're ready to go to bed. You try to stay up for a few more hours, seeing if it will die, but it just keeps hanging on. It knows it's time to go to bed, but it just won't die.

That's what my week has like. Everyday I wake up after 7 hours of sleep and feel great. I wonder how I could have been so tired the night before. Then I stay awake for a few hours. I start to feel a little tired. At the end of the work day, I start to feel drained. I tell myself that I have to go to bed earlier tonight. Somehow, I find myself up at 11:30 pm, playing video games, out at a bar, or something non-effective like that. I go home, go to bed, and when the alarm rings at 7:30 am, I honestly feel like I've completely recharged, but we all know the truth.

I'm in Class

It's been a while since I've posted. The problem is, nothing much had happened.

Once law school starts, not much happens. Right now I'm sitting in a classroom with five teachers and a bunch of law students who just can't stop asking questions. I think I got all my points today.

This class is a pass/fail class. You have to get a certain number of points at the end of the semester to pass. You get points from class when you participate in the discussion. I participated enough today to get the full amount of points. I think I can just cruise for the rest of the time.

After class, I have a lunch with the Board of Trustees. The dean emailed me to ask me to do it yesterday. I figured it would be a good idea.

Oh, and I HAVE to get to the library today. I'm close to a month overdue. I'll be sent to a collection agency soon.

Ugh.

Drinking at Home

I relied on a ride. I started drinking... two shot screwdrivers

I'm on #3. The glass is heavy. Heavier than when I started drinking.

I've been drinking alone. At least I'm going over to Oklahoma's. Then I won't be drinking alone anymore.

Although I'm not going out anymore, the ride is at least bringing me to company...

Yeah! Football tomorrow...

PS I'm drinking in tiger tails and ears right now.

After the week I've had, I deserve to drink.

Someone Got It Right out There

Rachel Bachman from the Oregonian wrote a great article about LSU football.

Now all these Oregonians have an idea of what it's really like for us...

By the way, the guy who wants to stay in Baton Rouge from the Third Row Tailgaters... He was my date to a Christmas party one year.
