trip to tucson for ross' memorial; pretty much in love with new york -- moved in
Well, before I write about my arrive in New York, I figure it's good to talk about my 2 day trip to Tucson to meet up with Ross' parents and all of his friends. First off, I was pretty reluctant to go. Like I felt that it would just make me sad and well, pretty emotional. I really didnt want none of this before law school started. I have a ( Read more... ) -
My time in Brasil is coming to an end -- Rio.
Well, I've been here for almost two weeks. I guess the one thing that comes to mind is that 2 weeks in Brazil is NOT enough time at all. It's seriously been nuts. Unfortunately, this is how all my future trips will be like. Gone are the summers where I would spend 6 weeks in the motherland -- plenty of time to hang out with my family and do ( Read more... ) -
law school, ratatouille and sicko and paris j'taime, weekend, life, etc.
Well, I've slowly but surely started my preparation for law school reading this 800 page sensationlistic "opus" known as Planet Law School II, the one my future room mate suggested I read. I had heard of it before obviously, but never bothered to order it. I'm only about 60 pages into it, but yeah. He has some valid points, but then goes on some ( Read more... ) -
i'm ready to leave.
I've been back from NYC for a week already. I am ready to leave. I really am. I've just been on such an emotional high in the past two weeks. I come back and well, the high lasted a bit but now I just feel almost depressed. There's just nothing here really for me. Sure there is my family and some close friends, but I'm just ready to leave. I ( Read more... ) -

Back from Miami: Decision Time-Weather, fate, signs, UM, etc.
Well, I'm back from Miami. Pics are here if anyone wants to check them out. The first two rows are pics from the UM campus.
Honestly, the trip really didnt do much to change my mind. I kinda expected this. I was pretty underwhelmed with Miami and the University of Miami to be honest. First, the campus. It's nicely landscaped--there are lots of ( Read more... ) -
law school, famous people sightings at the clubs, things, etc.
more law school things. big surprise. you know, this all feels like the first few weeks when you have a huge crush on a girl. like, they enter your mind at any given hour. you find yourself daydreaming about the future. you hope they like you. really it's true. law school and the admissions process is just like it. it's just horribly ( Read more... ) -
my college room mate of 3 years committed suicide -- RIP ross hughes
i'm at a loss for words here. im not used to dealing with death. well, i guess none of us are. but this is the first time that it's happened to me. my grandmother and uncle both passed away when i was younger--like in my early teens but i was too young really. their memory has slowly faded away. ive forgotten who they were really--just ( Read more... )
