You know what matters most to me? (Not necessarily in order)
1. My BFF
2. My nephew and family.
3. The time I get with either of those two
4. Sleeping past noon.
5. A really good Portabella mushroom sandwich.
6. My horses and riding career
7. My other friends, great roommates
8. Mexican and Margaritas with any of those people.
9. A great book -- like philosophy or fiction or poetry or science.
10. A trashy movie/show -- like zombies, sci-fi, or nerd porn.
11. Teaching
You know what matters to most people in my life?
1. Money
2. Jobs
3. Deadlines
4. My cross-examination of a fake witness in a fake trial
5. My weight
6. Whether I am first in my class or not
7. The "news"
8. Being on time for things that don't even matter (and this includes, generally, class attendance)
9. My outlines for classes I could care less if I pass
10. When and whether I am taking the MPRE, the Ohio Bar, etc...
11. Whether I am "over-teaching"
12. Gossip and Drama about my life.
For some reason, the things I really care about, the majority of the world labels as something that's leisure time/free time activities. The things I could not care less about are important "real life" issues.
I'd prefer to fail Secured Transactions, not graduate law school, and spend my life grooming and riding horses if it means I get Mexican and Margaritas three times a week with my BFF, can take my nephew to the zoo once a week, and sleep in when I want.
I am so *sick* of everyone caring about things in my life more than I do. This is my life -- I'll take care of it, thanks. And, if I do it wrong -- I'll deal with it. I don't ask people to pick up after me. Why do they act like my mistakes or wavering in life completely affect--even destroy--their lives.
Jesus fucking Christ. GO AWAY.
Argggghhh.
In other--better news--
Gallagher was sixth in Harrisburg for the North American League Adult Jumper Finals. We then moved on to the Washington International Horse Show. We did not do as well there -- two rails in our first round--but my horse was great and looked even better!!
Alright, still just outside of DC and need to pack up and head home -- gotta be there in time for class at 3.
I'd rather nap and be just on time for the scary movie party tonight rather than give a shit about a class that no one else wants me in anyways.
Think I care if I graduate first? Or even at all? Watch me.
