Exams . . .

begin this afternoon & will go on till the middle of next week. This has been my most enjoyable semester to date - not working or interviewing, fabulous professors, & interesting slew of classes, all had something to do with it. The one thing though I didn't enjoy was the amount of writing I had to do which was due to bad foresight. I had a journal note to write (I didn't get published) & yet I signed up for 2 other classes that had a ton of writing requirements.

I went to the dentist last week & he asked me when I was graduating & I said "next year." No one has asked me that this year so all of last year's responses were "in 2009" or "in 2 years." How time flies. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter & brighter altho' I suspect I'll be one of the few who'll miss law school. But let's not get ahead of ourselves - still need to get these exams out of the way before a much needed summer break begins:

Rule of Law - Paper - turned in 3/15
Ethics - Paper - turned in 4/16
Civil Procedure II - 4/28
Human Rights - 5/2
Evidence - 5/5
Criminal Procedure - 5/7

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

I am screaming. Quietly. But screaming all the same at the thought of Hillary winning Pennsylvania. I knew she was going to win but seeing her afterwards shrieking about how the tide was turning made me want to do something irrational. Like hurl something big & heavy at my barely paid for t.v. I seriously cannot handle another day - let alone years - of her cackling laugh & her obliterating of Iran talk. And the only people to blame for this more-than-a-nightmare-she-devil that refuses to go away are none other than Ohioans. Had she lost that primary it'd have been lights out for her. The focus would be on McGrandpa & why he refuses to release his medical records. Instead we're stuck with this b*tch till June - if we get lucky. Wouldn't surprise me if she was still hanging on by the threads of her pantsuit come the Denver convention in August. Would this then force Obama to put her on his ticket? Because voter animosity would be at an all time high to the point where the exclusion of one candidate would be to the detriment of the other? Wouldn't put it past her to be doing all this just to get to that point so she can screw him over by refusing to become V.P.

Straight Talk

Let me first say that I disagree with John McCain's stance on nearly all issues. He's pro-life, pro-war, pro-Bush, pro-gaffes, etc. That being said, he was on the Hardball College Tour w/ Chris Matthews today & I must tell you that it was refreshing listening to him talk. For once, a candidate who can give you straight answers without hedging his bets. He might have been pandering to his audience since he was in Villanova University but who cares? The Straight Talk Express delivered. He answered "yes" or "no" and then gave an explanation for his position instead of blathering on and on like his democratic opponents do with annoying regularity.

Q: Do you think Obama is an elitist? No. But I think that the comments he gave were . . .
Q: Will you call for an end to swift boat attack ads in the general election? Yes. Because . . .
Q: You are known as a maverick. Would you allow ex-PA Gov. Ridge (R) to be your V.P.? No. While I admire his service to this country, he is pro-choice and . . .
Q: Will you invade Iran? I don't know. Because . . .

He wasn't straight talking about Iran because we all know he'll invade it as soon as he takes the oath of office but . . . Tomorrow, Shrillary & Barack have yet another debate on ABC. Let's hope they put their bitterness (pun intended) behind them & start giving some straight talk. From what I saw today, if McCain goes up against Clinton, he'll win. Convincingly.

Update: The Democratic debate in Pennsylvania was AWFUL!!! Shame on ABC. Rev. Wright, flag pin, Obama flimsy connection w/ a 1960s radical guy, . . . Haven't we had enough rhetoric about this nonsense already? I want those 90 minutes of my life back!

Nothingness

Registered for my final year of classes (2008-09) today. How time flies. One more year & I'll be done. Yay! But truth be told I'm not all that eager to reenter the work force. School sucks but working sucks even more. If I don't feel like going to class, then I don't. If you don't feel like going in to work . . . well . . . you go in anyway or you'll be out of a job shortly. Speaking of which, my summer job starts on May 12th & lasts through mid-August. Can't wait to make some money. I think I'll enjoy this job way more than I did my job last summer altho' the pay difference will be drastic. But on the upside, I don't have to wear a suit every day this time around. So you win some, you lose some.

I told off one of my BFF's. Sometimes I say hi to her in the morning & she'll respond very cheerfully but other times she'll barely respond. So after letting this go on for a few weeks, I said to her one morning: "Why are you saying hi to me like you don't want to?" Then she had the nerve to respond: "Do you want me to talk to you at all?" and I responded: "WTF do you mean?" to which she said: "If you want me to talk to you then don't question the tone of my voice." Oh no she didn't!!!! Won't rehash what I said but the B* had it coming to her.

I have a new favorite past time these days. Listening to music online. I like Rhapsody although they only give you 25 free plays a month. Napster is also ok. But what I really like to do is rack my brain for songs I haven't heard in years & then google them if I can't remember the singers or the song names. Without fail, I always find what I'm looking for on You Tube which has a music video to go with every imagineable song you can think of. Good thing about music is I can do my school work & listen to it at the same time. Gotta love multi-tasking.

Exams start on April 28th. Should be interesting. I have a 20-page paper due for one of my classes next Thu. But I don't even sweat writing assignments anymore. All I need is one night to knock it out. I've gotten this skill down to a science & so far it's been working out fine. But I don't recommend it for the young & impressionable kids out there. Pacing yourself is the way to go.

And yes, my BFF has gotten over her psychotic ways. She is nothing but cheery these days. All she needed was some firm guidance and yours truly was happy to give it to her.
