The one thing that sustained me throughout law school is also the one thing that is going to destroy me when it comes to passing the bar.  What is that you ask? HAVING A LIFE.  I knew studying for the bar is tough but I had no idea just how miserable it would make me.  Key in point- while everyone is out tonight having fun, I am getting ready to go to bed early because I have Bar class Saturday morning.  But that didn't stop me from having a little bit of fun tonight.. Victor and I drank filthy martinis tonight. :)

Currently watching: Eureka 7 on recommendation from The Lopes.  I had a discussion the other day about how Nogg is just Nogg unless you call her "The Noggs". Why? because she is singular and not plural.  But Lopes says he has to be plural because "Lope" just doesn't contain all the greatness that he is.

Other random news since the last time I updated.: as you can tell from my bar complaints, I have graduated from law school. YAY me.  Although if you knew what law school was really like you would not be impressed at all.  It was nice, however, to have a boatload of my relatives come from all coasts of the United States to converge on my parents house just for the occasion.  I got many "cards" from my relatives but they were always accompanied by comments such as "just imagine how much you'd get if you were getting married!" I think meeting Long put their imaginations in overdrive. Apparently there is some kind of rumor that I am engaged.  Well, I'm not.  But I'm happy and in love.

And since I graduated  I finally reached my Boulder limit.  I can no longer stand that town.  I have now moved downtown (13th and Speer) if any of you would grace me with a visit.  Our place is BAD ASS. We got to paint too! So our living room is blue, my room is yellow, and nogg painted her room red.  Pictures to follow when I am less under the influence of my goose martini.  Did I mention how much I love my roomie? We are the best of friends and totally in sync.

Life  has been awesome... I know just how blessed I am to have such wonderful friends and family in my life.  My father, mother, brother, long, nogg... I love you all and thank everyday that I have you in my life.  And that's just my core support.  I can't even begin to list the supporting actors.. life is good.

Other things? Looking for a job.  Is your company looking for a young, fresh, ambitious attorney? I'm your gal.  I have been applying to clerkships... I hope I get one.  I'm not ready for a corporate suck out your soul job so I thought I'd start out with a clerkship.  Wish me luck all!

Books: just finished Dark Rivers of the Heart by Dean Koontz- which is my night reading before I go to bed because I need to read something to unwind and relax my mind before I sleep.  I also have been doing word searches like crazy.  Don't know why, but I luvre them so much!

Been obsessed with eyeshadow lately.  I'll post some pictures tomorrow.  Poor Noggie- she's my guinea pig. :) Pure Luxe and MAC= awesomeness.

Last order of business: I am going on a trip in August.  Where? Undecided.  I wanted to go to Key West but tickets are $500.  I think I may go to LA and visit my dear cousin Truman who just moved there and hang out at the beach and catch the last dying days of summer.  I am stuck here until August and I feel left out since everyone is going on vacation this summer except for me! Did I mention I have Bar class all next weekend too? I am draining away....

Is it weird that I like to catch rays at the beach but not in the booth? It's because  I am a total germaphobe and paranoid of catching some kind of fungus.  Also, I think it's more dangerous to lie in a booth with concentrated rays at you rather than playing at the beach w sunscreen.  Maybe I should try spray tan so I don't blind people with my legs? 

The quality of my life has risen exponentially since I've moved to Denver.  I don't think I've ever been happier.
