Quick Post

Just a Quick Note to give an update on what is going on.

MY HUGE project, my appellate brief, is due in 48 hours. YAY!

This has been the worst week as of yet...the good part about this, is that all the older law students say it is hardly this hard again. Busier yes, but not as much effort into a large paper. This is good news.....I am done with the hardest most work intensive part of law school, and ALMOST finished with the dreaded 1L year.

*DISCLAIMER* I realize the 3L's are probably lying and I am slightly delusional (and sleep deprived) for even THINKING about believing them.

OH WELL!

I have spent at least 12 hours a day at the library for the past 7 days, I am actually LOOKING FORWARD to start studying for finals. NEVER thought I would say that.

I promised some pics from our 6 year anniversary. There aren't many, but they are cute!

Spring Break

I can't believe Spring Break is already half way over! I started out Thursday night with a long drive to College Station! I was so happy to see Daniel and spend the evening with him :) The next day after he got off of work, we headed to Houston to see my mom's new house and help her get her office settled in, as well as a few repairs that we needed Daniel to help with! Friday night, we went to the Houston Rodeo to see Lady A! They are my favorite country band and they were really great in concert.

We had a great relaxing weekend with my mom and headed back to College Station on Sunday to get ready for the week. That night, we saw "The Adjustment Bureau" with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. I highly recommend this movie! It's good for the boys because of the "action" and good for the girls because of the "love story". Daniel headed off to work the following morning and I ran some errands and prepped for my interview with a law firm in College Station.

I worked at this law firm all throughout college, and had applied and gotten an interview over christmas for a summer clerkship. This is a really big deal for a lowly 1L such as myself. Generally, it is hard to find a legal job where I will ACTUALLY be doing legal work. The interview went really well and it looks like I have the job! I will be writing and filing summary judgments, drafting pleadings and answers, sitting in on depositions, and going to court. (this is all fancy ways to say I will be seeing how it's done) I am really excited and a HUGE plus is that the job is in my BELOVED TEXAS, in my BELOVED College Station, with my BELOVED boyfriend Daniel and my mommy :)haha. Summer sounds good to me! I'll be working hard, getting good experience, and spending quality time close to the people I love. Seems like forever ago I took advantage of these very things. NEVER again.

On Monday, we had our anniversary dinner at my favorite restaurant, Cafe Eccell. Daniel got BBQ chicken, and I got a rosemary garlic pasta that was out of this world. We shared a strawberry tart (their famous desert), and headed home to watch the Bachelor. It was a nice evening. We spent most of it talking about how different everything was six years later. It was a really fun night.

Last night, we went to see "Battle Los Angeles" We were both in the mood for a ''shoot em up" movie, and this one didn't disappoint. The best way I could describe it would be a cross between a Sci/Fi/Battle Scene/Action movie. It was surprisingly entertaining, but very long!

Right now, I am back in Houston with my mom. Today I went to work with her for a while to work on my brief and some outlines (YUCK). At her office we hung some pictures, diplomas, and certificates, and then when it was time to go we explored some of Houston, got some dinner, and shopped around until we got tired.

We spent a relaxing evening together watching American Idol and playing with the pups.

I left my camera at Daniel's apartment and we have pictures from our six year anniversary so I will post those when go back to College Station early Sat. Morning!

For now, here is a very happy Daniel enjoying his favorite Rodeo food-Funnel Cake!

Weekend

This weekend went much too fast, as usual!

Friday afternoon, after class, some girlfriends and I went to Chili's to wind down after a long week. We called it a night early because we all had to be up for the library the next day...BOO.

After dinner, I went to an UNDISCLOSED LOCATION to buy Daniel his anniversary present! I know he never reads this blog, so I would probably be safe uploading a picture, but I am going to go ahead and wait until I give it to him...JUST in case :) BUT its really cool and he's been wanting one for a long time! I can't wait to give it to him!

After I had done a bunch of research and started writing my appellate brief, I started cleaning up my house and getting it ready to be gone for Spring Break! I absolutely HATE coming home to a dirty house and dirty clothes, so whenever I leave somewhere, I try to get it all done. I know it seems early, but I will be spending so much time at school this week I wanted to get a head start.

Today, I worked on my criminal law homework and continued with my pile of laundry. My cousin Molly invited me to tag along with she and her husband Jason and their daughter Madeline to a Thunder game! The OKC Thunder are actually a pretty good team, and although I don't really have time to keep up with them, it was really fun going to the game, PLUS-we were in their company suite...which meant great and comfortable seats, and yummy food.

I've just gotten home, am in bed, and am looking forward to a short week. I have decided not to go to my Friday classes because Daniel and I are going to the Houston Rodeo, and I want to get there in plenty of time to see my mom and have dinner with her before we go see Lady A! Plus, that's one extra night with him and I can't wait!

I hope this weeks FLYS by because I am so looking forward to next weekend :)

Hope everyone has a great week!

Spring Break is CLOSE

Yesterday was a bad law school day. After my first class, I couldn't read another word. I sat in the library for two hours staring blankly at the pages...worrying about sounding stupid if I should be caught unprepared. I just couldn't do it. I am about to be burned out, and spring break couldn't come at a better time. I REALLY took advantage of Spring Break in undergrad....I don't think I've ever needed a break so badly

Luckily I didn't get called on yesterday, and I got some rest last night and am feeling much better. Any guesses as to where I am right now? Yep-my second home, the library. Third floor, South Side, my table.

I'm getting so excited about going home NEXT WEEK for a much needed break :)

Needless to say...you WON'T catch me EVER wearing this shirt....

Oh Oklahoma....

Today after I got home from school...I was minding my own business, making a snack, and getting ready to go to the dog park. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of blue and red outside my window. My first thought was not, "is that spiderman?", but it should have been...because apparently he lives across the street from me.

Never a dull moment.
