Life is just a funny dream, and someday, I'll share this dream with you.
This is a long overdue update... Life has been no less fast-paced since coming home from school, aside from the whole vacationing part. Florida was a good amount of fun, but mostly it was relaxing. I flew down with Dee and we stayed with her hilariously crazy grandparents. Both in their 90s, they had no mental filter in conversation... all and all, I'm glad I went. I read an entire book, got a decent tan, went to busch gardens and ate way too much.... :) but, hey, I deserved it after getting a 3.94 for the semester... one stupid A-.... grrrr.
After Florida, I went to the GGG, which was amazing, as usual. AND I managed not to make out with anyone, or have any unnecessary drama this year :) Every year it just keeps getting better and better... I wish I could live there all summer. And I missed my home friends like whoa. I feel so fortunate to still have a semi-intanct group of amazing friends from high school... we all go in our separate directions, but it amazes me how well we seem to pick up where we left off everytime. If it weren't for them, I'd be a sad, sad girl indeed.
Studying for the LSATs in between all of this fun has been torturous. I'm growing increasingly discouraged, although I'm improving a lot. I'm really afraid I'm not going to make my goal of 165 :(. I'm a horrible standardized test taker and my self doubt shines in these kinds of situations. I KNOW the right answer, but I pick the wrong one far too often... because they make them look so good!! I'm forcing myself to accept the idea that law school might not be such a good idea. *sigh* I expressed my concern to my mom over the dinner table, saying that I might as well drop out and start popping out babies.... of course, she didn't completely disagree with the idea. So I told her that if she'd show me some support, then I'd buy her some grandchildren later. She said she'd rather have a vacation house. My family is weird.
So lately I haven't been doing much. I started cracker barrell last Thursday, and I start at Applebee's on Monday. I'm not really sure which job I want to work yet, hopefully I can make both of them work. Other than that my most recent days have consisted of sleeping, eating, studying, and making myself more miserable from studying. I have been hanging out with my dog, though. She's dying of cancer, so they're giving her pain killers that are making her crazy. She follows me around the house, looking at me as if I have food all of the time, which is probably good for my diet, because I can't resist giving her my food. So we hang out, she eats my lunch, and we do pee pee's and poo poo's every half hour. Poor thing, I'm going to miss her when she's gone.
In other news, I'm probably getting an internship with NOW when I go to D.C...... which is sooooooo amazing. I'm waiting for the program director to call me, but he's also suggested Amnesty International, Feminist Majority and Nancy Pelosi's office as other possibilities. Words can't possibly describe how overwhelmingly excited I feel... pinch me, because this can't be my life. Is it August 26th yet?????
Chris just called me ridiculously drunk, that was too funny. I think tonight I'm going to relax with a glass of wine and maybe paint my tonails. woooooohoooooo. :)
