oh lordy

Having some sort of pre-lsat panic attack type thing. Fabulous.
NOT NOW, BRAIN, NOT NOW!

options

I can go anywhere from Dec. '08 to July '09.
But where should I go?

Cali-SF area
Texas-somewhere "wide and open."

Ideas?

Happy day

My score from the Saturday exam was the same as the highest in-home exam I have taken. Pretty stoked, I wanted to make sure I could replicate it in a (near) stressful situation.

My friends have returned, but I am well-equipped and fully-armed: Time to kill.

One of my co-workers is an elementary school librarian in her "real life" and promised to make an attempt to discover the title of the book that made such an impact on my small 4th grade heart. It's about a girl, a boy, and a cat. It takes place in a big city, perhaps NYC, there are fire escapes involved and rain. And a moment that I have never forgotten...in fact, I think it shaped my idea of "the one."

15 days

...not counting today.

Second to last practice test tomorrow morning. No pressure, No pressure!
I will take more practice tests on my own in the coming days, MANY more. But the proctored-in class ones are the closest to real.

Must remember to BREATHE.

I need to learn to meditate.

the henriette doctrine

I think I made some progress today. A concept, re: diagramming conditional statements (basically which order they go in to be able to fill in the sufficient portion) finally sunk in.

Sometimes, I can distort the simplest thing and become overly involved in the details, I fail to see the big picture. Sometimes, that happens while studying.

The killing of the fleas and intense cleaning begins: now. Either the fleas are with me or against me. And I'm pretty sure they are against me, surely they must be...they look scary and foreign.

LUTZ

I think it's something about the light in these photos that has me hooked.

Lutz showing at Clampart in NYC.
I want to go after I take the Lsat.

I miss NYC and I need some artistic refurbishing.

short-themed evening.

Phil from England is in town and we somehow ended up at the DC Short-film Festival after-party on a law firm's rooftop. Free drinks, and the guy from Boy Meets World who played Cory was there. They were asking everyone what they were in or how they were involved in the film industry, etc.

I am in British indie films that involve some S&M undertones. Oh yeah, and Weekend at Bernie's 3.

I partook in too many adult beverages. Amy said she was in adult films. "Amy Does DC" I also touted her upcoming run for NH state senate, completely possible. I would move to NH to vote for her. Phil gave me the best light-up goggles, the kind with a battery-pack in the back, that one would use for caving. Only much more psychedelic. And opera glasses, then he took them back and gave them to Amy, because she is more "artsy", it's actually "arty." I didn't have the heart to correct him, although I usually would and that annoys most people.

We later ended up at a "shorts" party at Asylum. We were allowed in even though we were short-less. We were wearing pants, don't get the wrong idea, please. A tall, skinny guy kept trying to dance with Amy and I, finally we took a picture with him and he went away, he was kind of gross and sweaty.

Per usual, I did some inappropriate texting. I've managed to make it an art-form now.

A splendid evening.
