Hold my face before you
Hmm, well. Today was acceptable.
I've been trying to study Property all day, but it's 1. so boring and 2. so useless that I'm hitting a wall. By "useless," I don't mean only in the "I'm going to be a tort lawyer, bitch!" way, either: the final is so crazy hard that there's nothing you can really study for it in the first place! I'm basically just reading the commercial outline and trying not to stab myself in the eyes. I'm not stressed about the test itself because I know for a fact that everyone else is studying themselves into oblivion, and I'll be better prepared to handle the educated guessing without over-thinking things too much. I'm not really worried. We'll all get B-s together, basically.
I did my usual pre-vacation scrubbing of the apartment today, too. I normally keep everything moderately tidy and sparkly, but when I come home from a vacation, I like everything extremely spic and span (there's your Little-Known Kris Fact for the day) when I walk in the door. There's nothing more annoying then getting back from a long drive to have to FINISH CLEANING! UGH! My kitchen has been thoroughly disinfected, and I am pleased.
Chels and I had a long talk about menfolk during one of my study breaks. Siiiigh. It's probably wrong of me to feel entitled to something good soon by virtue of past SKETCH, because other people have had it a lot worse than I, and plus, I am YOUNG! However, as Chels would say . . . biological clock, yo. Well, okay, she wouldn't say "yo," but you get the point. We have decided that I may actually need someone completely opposite of me (you know, shy, quiet, knows when to shut up, isn't naturally bossy a leader, hates attention, etc etc) in order to have him put up with me >_< That rules out Rock Lee. Unfortunately. Oh, wait, was there a "must be REAL" requirement, too? I've forgotten already. I think it still gives me bishounen and/or Japanese schoolboys, though, as long as they're over the age of 18. Are they still schoolboys then? Hmm. I'll have to ponder that one.
Ahhh, men. I think I read too much shoujo manga, and it has a negative effect on my level of contentment. But--too much manga? Is that really possible?
I had a good time today adding even more anime to my Netflix queue. Public service announcements: Hikaru no Go DVD volume 1 is out Dec. 27, and Kaleido Star: New Wings volume 1 is out Jan. 17. Also, I need to graduate like NOW. TokyoPop has an opening for their director of legal affairs . . . the only problem is that I'm going to concentrate in tort law, and a lot of that sort of thing will be intellectual property (the only kind of property I really like, actually). Plus, you really can't go in-house until you've worked in firms for a while. GAH, I WANT TO BE DONE WITH SCHOOL! I think it's a good sign for my future that I really want some of these jobs, though, even though law school seriously gets on my nerves sometimes.
I need to start packing . . . and finish studying zoning and takings. YUCK!
