I have a lot to say, but no time in which to say it.  Sigh.  Bullet points it is, then.

• The bar exam?  Yeah, it's kinda hard.  And by "kinda hard," I mean, "the hardest test I've ever taken."
• I still hate contracts.  A lot.
• Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!  I had a fun day of eating Chipotle and hanging out with my family.  This will be ( Read more... )

I haven't heard anyone mention it yet--Stephenie Meyer is releasing a sci-fi book for adults. My problem was never with her writing, only her contributions to deluding young girls about "dark, mysterious men," so I may give it a try. I do need to read Eclipse yet. Hmm. Yah, I'm getting myself a library card for summer reading as soon as I get ( Read more... )

Yay, new sequel to Howl's Moving Castle in June! I need to get a library card when I get to PA, since there's so many hardcovers I'll want to read in the summer but don't have time for now (like Eclipse, which I haven't read yet). Whatever happened to just releasing things in paperback? Sigh. I buy the paperbacks, but AFTER I borrow the ( Read more... )

Well, today was spectacularly unproductive. Like whoa. My goal was grade six papers. I graded . . . one. Granted, the night is not over, but still. It takes about 1-2 hours per paper (no joke), and as much as I really think I NEED to take a night to not sleep and get this done, my health will not allow such a thing at the moment. I'm getting ( Read more... )

LoTR as a D&D campaign. So much geeky humor . . .

I have moved my comprehensive anime list to January 1 and my 2007 Book List to December 31.  I'll start a new book list on January 1 when I finish this post.

( Last semester's quotes )

Nonfiction book of the year: Japanese Street Slang by Peter Constantine
Book in a series of the year: Thin Air by Rachel Caine, " ( Read more... )

Just checking in to let people know that yes, I am alive and in PA. I don't know why I haven't been posting recently; it's not like there's nothing to talk about or anything. But, my job interview went well on Friday, and I've been at my parents' house since then. I'm leaving in 1.5 hours for Josh's house, then at 10:30 tomorrow morning I'm ( Read more... )

Oh boy. Kinda stressful. Not anywhere near as bad as the weeks several of my dear, beloved friends have had (I love you all and I'm thinking about you!), but still a pain ( Read more... )

I love my new monitor and my fiance, although maybe not in that exact order of priority. The interview went well. The Harry Potter books are even better than expected. I am tired, good night.
