Winter break

Right after my last final this past Friday, I took a nap and then went out to see my girls (That's us, chillin' on the roof of JCT, three bottles deep). Needless to say, I had a great time. Until the next outing, ladies!

I need to finish up my Christmas shopping, but I hate crowds and I hate shopping for anyone other than myself. I'll try to get it poppin' later. For now, I'm going to enjoy my break by doing absolutely nothing.

Filet-O-Fish

How funny are these compacts? My favorite is the chicken sandwich, because when I get one, I'm going to tell everyone it's a tasty fish sandwich (will it's non-square patty give it away?). Sometimes I convince myself into thinking that I need more grown-up accessories, like a black, crocodile-embossed wallet instead of a Pochacco one, for example. Other times, though, I find goofy-ass things that I just can't resist.

Last final is tomorrow (Sales and Secured Transaction, kill me now) and then sweet, sweet freedom is all mine. Wish me luck!

Dead-ass tired.

Just went through a 4-hour rape. I mean exam. I mean rape.

Doesn't matter. It was exhausting and I'm glad it's over.

If I smoked cigarettes, right about now would be the time that I'd light one up.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner snacks

It seems that the only thing to do in Suwanee (where my sister now lives and goes to school) is to go to H-Mart and roam the aisles. Aaand that's where I found these.

And they do taste a lot like chicken. Korean snacks are so awesome (I got the chili-lime flavored ones). Next time, I'm going to buy a butt-ton of these!

Oh, and these aren't my photos--my cell phone is a piece of shit and wouldn't let me upload my actual photos. BLAH.

Red Bull gives you the runs

NOTE TO SELF: Do not drink an entire can of Red Bull before an exam, lest you want to make the exam proctor raise her eyebrow when you have to sign the bathroom check-out list for the third time within a two-and-a-half hour time span (come to think of it, I am now a little worried that people may think I was cheating...).

I don't ever drink energy drinks (and I drink coffee about once every two weeks or so), but I thought in light of the early-morning exam time and the need for a little pick-me-up, I opted for a lone Sugar-Free Red Bull that's been sitting in my fridge for months. I normally drink tea to get me going, but I didn't think it would provide the jolt that I needed. Aaaand I got my jolt alright. The pain in my stomach made me jolt out of my seat a lot more than I wanted to during such a crucial exam. Oh well.

Despite the shitty (HA!) circumstances, I think I did pretty well on my Con Law final today. YEAH!

PS: I'll try to promise that this will be last gross-post. =)

Dreaming of a white Tuesday

I've been doing my best to enjoy the Thanksgiving break despite my pesky, upcoming exams...but, I have failed. I have regular nightmares about my finals and I spend all day cooped up and studying. I have managed to squeeze in a movie and a tv show or two, but that's about it. The weather in Atlanta has gotten cool and rainy and all I want to do is sleep, Rip Van Winkle-style.

The weather forecast says it will snow tomorrow. Here's hoping that it'll be ATL Snowpocalypse part Deux and I'll get an extra day to study before my first exam. Either way, wish me luck.

Oh, and the movie I recently watched was Never Let Me Go. It's good but sad, I recommend it. It's like The Island but not super-stupid, albeit less exciting.

Oh hello

Of course, after an extended hiatus, I WOULD start up this beast again right when finals are around the corner. Of course.

But, if you (whoever that may be) were expecting drawn-out posts, I am sorry to disappoint--I'll just be posting random tidbits per usual.

So, here's a quick list of what has been going on with me since I last checked in:

• San Fran with Jacks
• Chicago with Jacks
• Max turned 23
• Jacks moves into new apartment (jealous)
• Jacks turned 23
• Jacks started Med School (so proud)
• I start my second year of law school
• Max starts working full-time at mega-PR firm
• Friends got married
• Firefly 5k with Max
• Pumpkin patch road trip with Rebecca
• Halloweekend: I was a jack-o-lantern, a smashed pinata, a Mexican (not very PC) and Steve Jobs (too soon?)
• I turned 25
• Max moves into new apartment (jealous)
• Attended my first Falcons game, had AWESOME seats (jealous?)

And there you have it. I'm sure there was more, but I have finals to study for. Duh.

Wow, looking at this list, I'd say that Max and my sister are having a pretty amazing year so far. I'm so proud and excited for them!

Away we go

Such a sweet movie, it made me think of Max and I. Not the interracial-couple aspect or anything, haha. It made me think about how Max and I never can never decide on where we want to settle one day, when we would even finally decide to settle, whether or not kids are in our future, and how we can never picture ourselves as adults in general. It's scary stuff, really, but the movie made me feel better about it all--we're not fuck-ups and we'll make it through.

=)

Shush!

Max and his zambaione gelato

Striacciatella gelato from Paolo's!

Yesterday Max and I went on a thrift store raid and scored some some awesome books and DVDs. For once, it wasn't excruciatingly hot in ATL, so we also went to the Virginia Highlands part of town and did some exploring on foot. That's pretty much it. We were thinking about going to see Harry Potter 7.2, but we decided that it would still be a madhouse, being that it was opening weekend and all.

If you didn't know this about us, we're real sticklers about a movie theater being quiet while we watch movies, which is reasonable enough, right? I hate it when people laugh at stupid stuff in movies, like when a character trips over something. It's not that it's NOT funny (it really isn't), it's just that scenes like that don't usually warrant laughing out loud. Does that make sense? Doesn't matter, just shut your ass up already, damn!

The Nothing

Now that I'm out of school for the summer, I really don't know what to do with myself. I could go out more, but I'm trying to save money. I've mostly been passing the time by playing tennis, reading, watching movies and straightening up my room. Basically, I haven't really been productive at all and I feel as restless as ever.

I stayed up late reading last night and I woke up at the ungainly hour of 11:30pm--the latest I've woken up in AGES--and I can't help but feel guilty. I think I need to learn to embrace having nothing going on and just going with the flow.

Until then, happy Friday, errbody.
