Beauty and the Geek

So I am totally intrigued by this show. I only caught a few episodes of the 1st season when it was on...but over Thanksgiving break they reran the season...and I am hooked. My favorite couple from last season was Richard and Mindi...but they lost in the finals to Chuck and Caitilin. I just saw the previews for the next season (no...not procrastinating...I WAS outlining while I watched ;) and I am excited. However, I think they should do a season where the guy is the "beauty" and the girl is the geek.

Additionally, in the casting call they asked one girl what the square root of 100 is. She answered 5.....I'm guessing this isn't right....but what the hell is the answer? 10?

:)

Procrastination

I generally don't cook much...mostly because I don't like the taste of most of my cooking. However, because I really don't want to study...I feel compelled to make a full dinner for myself. Consequently, I am having leftover ravioli, homemade mashed potatoes, diced tomatoes, and rice for dinner tonight. (Did I mention I also like strange combinations of food?)

Good luck to all of you with your finals...and your procrastination techniques!!

Couple Random Thoughts

1. I am FREAKING OUT...I did not get enough done over break...exams start in ONE WEEK...and I am not ready.

2. Steelers suck....period. :(

3. If anyone would like to share outlines with me....let me know.

One of the Group

I am part of a group in which of about 100 persons, 3 are women. One of those women is not really involved...she is pretty much taking a leave of absence for a while. The other female is decidedly quite masculine. So that leaves me. I wear makeup, i fix my hair, i wear cute outfits, and I like high heels. I am also one of the youngest members of the group.

So...the question is....do I try to fit in? or do I keep my girly ways and continue to be the "different" one?

:)

Waiting.....

So its 11:10....and I am sitting here watching Laguna Beach reruns waiting for midnight to get here so I can register for classes. Why exactly do we need to register at 12? I have absolutely no idea. What would be wrong with registering at 11? or even 10? Do all schools do this?

While I'm on a registration rant...at this point...49 minutes before the 2Ls register....5 classes are officially closed....and 2 of the other classes I wanted have 25 and 5 seats left respectively. Shouldn't that suggest to the administration that more sections/more seats per class are needed? Are 2Ls just supposed to take random shit classes and fill in requirements 3rd year? And why didn't the 3Ls take these classes last year?

Sigh. Back to waiting.

Sucked Into the Lure of the Spider

So I used to like spider solitaire alot in undergrad (not in class...we werent allowed to have laptops in class then :)

Additionally, because I had so many terrible headaches last year, I decided to try using paper notes this year...and it worked because the headaches are gone. So anyway, I've been seeing a lot of people playing in class lately...and I wanted to play again...but I havent had time because of the oral argument.

Well....since I finished my argument today...I decided to start up a game. Of course...I got sucked into its lure and spent pretty much the whole day playing. But finally....I won a game (hey I never claimed to be GOOD at it ;)

Whats your favorite time wasting game?

:)

Phew

Sigh of relief. The App Ad Oral argument is over!!! I walked out feeling like it had gone terribly...but when we went back in for comments it seems it did not go so bad at all.

So I'm enjoying a day of relief...at least until I need to start on those pesky outlines.....

:)

Mother

For years since my Mom died I have searched for ways to feel connected to her. Sometimes its wearing her old clothes, sometimes its finding new ways to support breast cancer awareness, sometimes its hearing an old song......the list goes on and on.

But every once in a while....a moment sneaks up on you and takes you to another place in time....

I have searched in vain for any of my Mom's perfumes. That lovely scent that takes me back to a little girl sitting in the bathroom watching her Mom getting ready to go out with her Dad....and being amazed at how pretty she looked and how I hoped I could one day be so grown up and pretty. And then she would spray on the perfume.....that scent of beauty and love....and just HER.......

Today I found the perfume.....and it took me back............

:)

Locked Doors

Its nice to live in an area where I rarely feel the need for locked doors. I almost never lock my apartment door during the day...and I have little hesitation about leaving it unlocked at night when necessary. For example, when my brother came to visit last weekend and stayed out til 4 with his girlfriend...I simply left the door open and went to bed. I even leave my car unlocked in front of the apartment once in a while. Its just nice to feel safe, ya know?
