Day One
I will try to get to more later.
For now, not feeling too good about the test. Feel better about life in general after a couple cups of coffee and "Better Than Sex Cake." Hollywood resturant. Good.

Utada Hikaru Bolevard of Broken Dreams/Passion
Her originals and covers are good. Lots of variety in the covers too.
sleep . . .
I can't sleep at night. I think it's a combo of heat and stress. Sure the AC's fixed but it's still old venting in a top floor apartment. Apparently I don't need it cool to sleep, I need it icy to sleep. Boo.
Freaking out a little but trying to just remain calm and do what I can do in the meantime. I haven't gone though some things even once while some people have gone through them six times already. I just do things differently and still haven't quite gotten a handle on how to study. I know this is going to sound really bad, but I don't think I ever had to REALLY study until law school and that moves so fast, it's hard to get your bearings.
Live and learn and by this time next week, I'll be free for a couple weeks before I start trying to find employment. Anyone out there who wants to hook me up with a decent paying job, feel free to do so.

Get Up
Shut up. This and Vienna Teng are getting me though bar prep. (And I'll probably delete these afterwards . . . )

Dealing
I'm a teeny bit of a stress baker I think. There's just something about doing something and having it have a definite end and the end turning out okay. (And if it doesn't turn out okay, it just reinforces that I'm a useless failure who can't do anything right which starts off a nice cathartic cry.)
Surprisingly it doesn't really throw off my eating habits because most of the time I don't really like my own cooking.
Eh.

Eh.
Ummm . . . Check please!
Ugg. Lecture of hours and hours. VA mini review. Of course I'm here in case they say something that actually sticks and is something on the exam. I'm not sure if this is actually helpful. It's a fairly cursory overview. Not sure how helpful it is but at least I don't think it's going to mess me up. *sigh* The guy is starting to annoy me.
I'm still having a hard time getting to sleep. So getting up early has not been going well. Grrr. If nothing else, the thing got me up at an almost respectable hour today. I made it to school yesterday. Very late, but hey it started the momentum up again.
After the thing, I'm going to tackle the mountain of dirty dishes I have awaiting me then I'm going to try the brownie cheesecake thingy. I just don't want to deal with cramming more after this lecture thing. Brain mushy. That and sometimes you just really need to do something that has an end and it'll likely be a successful ending.
Whatever happened to port wine cheese spread? The good kind. All I can find is the Krakawhatever brand and the WisPride that's covered in nuts. Both nasty. Though plain WisPride in a tub used to be available and yummy. It's been forever since I've had it. *sigh*
Found something out yesterday that I "don't know" until Augustish. It's a happy thing.
Think I found a place with frog legs. I miss the frog legs at the place in Norfolk. Oh, and they had yummy calamari. Nice crispy suckers. Then they (the Norfolk place)got bad. I mean it was the kind of place where everything was good. Until it wasn't.
Hmmm, I might treat myself to Chinese take-out tomorrow.
Okay, I really think I'm bailing early. Better to spend my time reviewing more in-depth. Or maybe stay through. Dunno. Right now all I want is a nap.
Uggg. *hits head against table*

Polarity
I want really long hair. But at the same time I want really short hair.
I want bangs. I don't want bangs!
I want my hair to be darker. I want my hair to be lighter.
I want the Bar to be over with already. I want a few more years to study for the Bar.
I want something light and healthy for dinner. I want to make a dinner out of heavily salted tater tots with a gallon of spicy ketchup.
I want to embrace a "sun is evil" paleness. I want to look like I live in a tanning booth.
I want to go out more. I don't want to get out of bed.
I want to listen to music while I work. I want to accustom myself to working in silence.
I want to be more physically active. I don't want to budge off this nice cushy chair.

Anyone try this?
http://beautybff.msn.com/?vid=68f36a0c-4982-a51f-061b-f8541c777c5d&from=en-us_msnhp>1=32058#68f36a0c-4982-a51f-061b-f8541c777c5d

So they say tea in a spray bottle and cocoa powder in lotion work as self tanners. It's very very tempting. I want to be fashionable dark sometimes but end up locked inside most of the time or just find it too hot outside. Tanning beds are creepy on way too many levels. Self tanning sprays are expensive and I personally think they stink. Literally. They smell bad. Even the lotions like Jergens have the stench. Tea and especially cocoa smell nice.
If anyone tries one or both, let me know how they work.

So I've been having a hard time getting to sleep which in turn has been making it harder for me to get up early. So I thought I'd try a Unisom. A full dose. Not good. I got kinda twitchy-tired and I did go to sleep but I also had a really bad nightmare. I don't know if the nightmare just happened or was tied to the Unisom but it was one of the ones that just left me unable to sleep and really freaked out for a couple hours. I moved out to the living area to put the t.v. on to try to distract me. I finally fell asleep and didn't want to get up. I got up late and even now just feel like lying down and going to sleep. If I ever take Unisom again, it's going to be a half dose.
After dragging myself into quasi-action, I ate and threw some clothes on with the plan to go for a bit of a walk to see if it would perk me up a bit. It was sunny when I went to wash my face etc. but as I was going out to walk I noticed it was dark. Then I thought I heard thunder. I decided that maybe I should just do some reading on the balcony. Nope. Really windy and rain blown on the balcony. We need rain but couldn't it have waited until after I had taken a walk? There's supposed to be a break around 5 so maybe then.
Not much. Study/ read. I need to do some more practice essays.
But first, I think a nap is in order so I can maybe have a chance at concentrating. I've tried ready some earlier and just kept reading the same thing without anything like comprehension.
Shout out to Chinese character writer. BTW: just to share - I got a bit annoyed at translating because one time I got an e-mail from someone because someone had posted using characters and it was basically a bunch of porn sites. So checking and all kinda annoyed me for a while. All's cool now. Anyhoo . . . yeah. Nap.

funny
I found this in one of my fb notes and since I'll be starting up my crackhead caffeine levels soon, I thought it appropriate. It's a quote I found somewhere.
"Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal™:
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Starbucks:
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the House of Mochas forever. "

Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
Yeah, so this is what I read when I graduated. I like it. I'm finding it a bit more relevant right now. The focus is on the big picture.
new music and not much else

Thank you WNRN for introducing me to Janiva Magness's "The Devil is an Angel Too."
Not too much else to share. Horrid lecture today. It wasn't they guy they usually have do the lecture. I think the one they had just wasn't as comfortable teaching the topics and maybe shouldn't have tried to(or maybe should have put more time into) mixing in the other's charts with his lecture. Anyhoo. I was twitchy afterwards so went ahead and did my shopping instead of staying. I took a too long nap, fixed dinner, and plan to watch Eureka before crashing. Tomorrow my goals are to bake this cinnamon thingy and take it in to school, cram like crazy, leave at a respectable hour, and have leftovers. Maybe watch an episode of Bleach or Naruto. I'm so very very embarrassingly far behind on both that I don't want to talk about it.
I hope it rains tonight and tomorrow. It's dry here.
It stormed some places last night. If it stormed here, I was too far gone to notice. I've been sleeping a lot better since the ac was fixed.
Oh, yesterday . . or was it Wednesday? Ah well, the other day, my parents got a flatscreen. Before they came to visit the transformer blew and they couldn't get the t.v. to work. It would take like $250 for them to pick it up and lots more possible to fix, etc, etc so they just got a new one. HD capable but not paying all the extra it would take. The satellite and internet people are jerks because they know we don't really have options where we live.

La la la
So, I finally graded my practice MBE. I had some problems though. I forgot to mark some of the answers in the book. Oppsie.
I need to really crack down on my essay practicing. The Bar. It's too close and too far away at the same time. I'm ready for it to be over but feel like I need another couple of years to be ready.
It got to 100 outside yesterday. I was inside doing laundry (i.e. the dryer was going ) and it was cooler than when the ac was down. Today I saw a truck from an AC/ Heating repair place in the parking lot.
I need to walk a bit. Post-bar I'm going to have to really crack down and work on things. It's hard in the heat and with all the sitting a studying while sitting.
I hope it rains here. Not just because I want to put off cleaning the car, but because it's so hot and it hasn't rained in forever. Even the grass on campus is dry.
I'm thinking of bringing in a little baked good for people Saturday. Mix but hey, some of them are good.
Yeah, I'm starting to bable so I'll stop now.

Uhhh . . .
So, while since I last wrote. Ac's been fixed. Thank goodness because it's supposed to hit 100. My channels are all messed up and I'm missing something like 20 of them.
My parents visited. It was nice and I think I gained like 50 lbs. We saw Toy Story 3 and Clash of the Titans. I don't really remember the original Clash very well but I don't think it was very similar. The mechanical owl made an appearance. There were little statuettes of the people. I liked Toy Story 3. Kinda sad in a happy way type of ending.
Before the Parental Units arrived, went to see How to Train Your Dragon with a classmate. I liked the movie. It had enough to entertain adults but was still kid appropriate. I still say that the Princess Bride holds the top spot for growing with you. Anyway, I liked the movie on it's own, but it also kinda made me think of the Serendipity books. They make a point / teach a lesson without being too bludgeoning.
Had a practice MBE yesterday. Gotta go check how I did.
Saw the new Warehouse 13. I'm glad it wasn't really Leena.
Looking forward to new episode of Eureka.
I think Mommy and I have pretty much settled on having alcohol in instead of going out. This means that instead of going out and me having a drink at a bar, we're going to get probably a bottle of wine. Any suggestions?
