Yum!

If you havent tried one yet--go out and get the new Caramel Pretzel Klondike bars. SO SO good. A delicious combination of sweet and salty.

On another note, a nasty cold is traveling around the law school...and I am a lucky recipient. When I was growing up my Mom just gave me pills to make me feel better...I nver really thought about what they were. Now I just usually default to Dayquil and Nyquil with Advil to help the aching. However, last winter I had such a bad runny nose that B went and asked the pharmacist for something to help--claritin is very useful for runny noses, even when they arent caused by allergies. However, last winter I accidentally took too many dayquils/nyquils/advils/and claritins in a desperate attempt to make myself feel better during a 15 day cold and woke up in the middle of the night dizzy and dryheaving.

We are entering the home stretch now. Thanksgiving break is in 2 and a half weeks...then its the slide into exams. Good luck!!

MPRE

Are y'all studying? How are you studying? How much are you studying? Right now I'm just going through the BarBri book and planning to do some practice tests. Fortunately I have a mandatory 4 hour symposium on Friday that should allow for ample study time.

The Game

I like to consider myself a fairly intelligent individual....and I really like movies....but I frequently don't "get" movies. I will miss major point....and not even feel lost.

For example, at the end of "The Sixth Sense" I looked over at B and said "that was good." He replied, "Did you get it?" and I'm like "get what?"

I had NO CLUE that Bruce Willis' character had been dead for the entire movie.

Today "The Game" is on with Michael Douglas. I have seen this movie numerous times....and I still don't get it. I do get that pretty much everything in the movie is one big game. But is every single person he meets involved in the game? and is every event staged? and is he really hallucinating?

:)

The Replacements

I love the part in "The Replacements" where Madden does a play-by-play of Falco's (Keanu Reeve's) kiss of the female lead. "Falco's going for it."

:)

Edit: "Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory lasts forever."

"You've been given what every althlete dreams of: a second chance."

"Well, Falco, what do you want to do?
I want the ball.
Winners always do."

LSU v. KY

Now THAT was a college football game. 3 Overtimes...underdog knocks off #1.

Gotta love it.

I cannot believe how warm it still is. I'm not complaining...not at all. I'd take this kinda weather all year long. But I cannot remember in my entire life it being in the upper 80's in the beginning of October. Wonder what this means the winter will be like.

I'm nervous for next week. Very important call back interview to attend.

I seriously have an exam on the last possible exam day before Christmas break. On a SATURDAY. When I only have 3 exams. Ugh.

I watched Perfect Stranger last night. It was actually quite good. VERY good twist at the end. I didn't see that coming at all.

I also watched John Tucker must die. I actually thought it was a cute chick flick--but I didn't love the ending.

Have a great weekend!

:)

Still???

I thought I would be past this now. I am a 3L. 3L is supposed to "bore" you to death. Am I bored? Yes. Am I still having days where the stress reduces me to tears...not just tears but huge sobbing crying jags.

I got turned down for another job today. And I have to sit through a 5 hour presentation on Friday on a subject that I am not even taking. And I want to get married. I really really want to get married. And I don't want to move three hours away from my family. And especially B. And I am suddenly jealous of the girls with the engagement rings, and the boyfriends in LS, and the plans to get married and move somewhere together.

And I realize that I am complaining while I have more options than some of those around me. And I feel guilty for that. And I know I am not entitled to anything.

Ok...done with the pity party.
