My List
Current mood: amused

Week 3 of Barbri and I already want to call it quits. Why did I pick the most masochistic profession imaginable.. you make it through school only to have to take the hardest test of your life and your future depends on you passing. I am wondering if the Cal Bar wasn't started by a bunch of sadists. (if it was... I'd rather beat the hell out of you than take this exam).

My weeks have been interesting and my days have been busy despite enduring 4 hours of soul sucking everyday. However I have been attempting to accomplish things on my list of stuff to make it through the summer as a better person. My ultimate goal is to achieve as many of these objectives of possible by November, so that I can kick start my life and my career.

1. MAKE LESS OF ME

I have been super inspired to get my ass off my couch... which is always a good thing. I have been hitting the gym 5 days a week, unfortunately, I am in need of new sneakers. My shoes have tore up my feet to the point of limpage. I am a gimp and it' s not even from real gym pain! The goal is as always to come back down into a weight of normal human proportions so that I have the possibility of attracting some mouth breather to have children with, however, the prospects at this point don't look good. I feel better in general mostly and the exercise is helping me focus on bar studies, which is also a positive effect. Whatever the result the less of me the better.

2. REVAMP WARDROBE

I have been really into exploring fashion lately. After being pounded with the amazing styles in Sex and the City I think it's time for a slight wardrobe adjustment. I have been combing all of my usual haunts and have had to restrict my buying to meet the dwindling reserves I have to make it through the bar. A fact which I constantly remind myself of because I have lots of events in between that require fundage. ( Brians wedding, Niyati's bachelor party, Lora's birthday, etc.). I have found some awesome stuff at Old Navy that satisfies my cravings within my budget I just need to get my order fully placed and haven't had time with the crazy days I have been experiencing.

I am holding off on really rewarding myself until there is less of me to clothe... however I can splurge on a few pieces. :)

3. MAKE TIME FOR KATIE

My sister has been keeping me sane and I have been trying to return the favor. Amazingly I think she is busier than I am and that is really saying something. She is always coming home exhausted from school and I can't blamer her, some days she spends 14 hours on her feet. (crazy crazy). I am most excited about her starting microderm abrasion classes becuase I get the amazing benefit of being her model and lots of free treatments. I am going to have her sandblast me till I shine pretty!

4. RETURN TO MY PREVIOUS DAYS OF GOLF GLORY

I am in definate need of some outside activity, the weather has been too gorgeous. I have the urge to go golfing, but haven't found the time yet. I really think I need to hit the range and get in some pratice. My last round was embarassing for me, even though I did win.. it was a terrible performance for me. I had a great time however and need to put in a golf request ASAP with my buddies.

5. UP MY TOLERANCE FOR ALCOHOL

I figure I am going to be a lawyer, I need to be able to hold down a few. Plus it gives me a great excuse to have amazing wine and dinners with friends to detox.

6. BE A LITTLE SELFISH

I am trying to learn to say no to people and also trying to reduce the time I spend with people in my life who are more hurtful than helpful. I also am attempting to make a little time every week for myself where I do a little pampering. (and I mean just a little). I am plannign on getting a manicure every week from my sister. This will allow me to have some relax time, will make my nails look fabulous for cheap and will assist in achieving more of goal 3. Plus Katie will be thrilled if I bring her food in the process! :)

7. MAKE WAY ON MY BOOKSHELF

I am actually thankful that all the books I am salivating to read are being released in the fall after the bar exam. This not only lets study without the itch to read but also gives me time to clean out my bookshelf which is currently toterring under the weight of too many books. I am planning on only giving up the books I have no desire to read again, which aren't that many, however it will be enough to make some room for the new.

I am currently reading a newer series that involves, well vampires of course. I have been on a vampire novel reading kick ever since my friend Melinda got me addicted to the Laurel Hamilton and Twilight Series. I am in the market for suggestions of more grown up books, but for the time being the mindless happy reading is like candy for my overworked brain! :)

8. TAKE A FEW VACATIONS

I am thinking about planning a few adventures into the unknown this summer. I got some advice from my boss before  I left work to enjoy the hell out of this summer because it's one of the last times I will get to have time off in awhile. He also said it's my last summer of being a carefree student hippie child. (his words not mine :).) Vegas will definately be in the mix but I would like to take a road trip and see some other places. Katie and Colby have this amazing book filled with quirky Americana like the biggest ball of yarn.. I want to drive around and see some hokey shit and make some memories. I really would love to venture across the pond before I go back to school, however the fund aren't really there and I have no one to go with. :( Local, in country jaunts are just going to have to suffice. Maybe a trip to New York to see Eqqus in the fall will be my big splurge.. hopefully I can get Katie to go with me!

9. TAKE MORE PICTURES

I have always like taking pictures and acutally would like to learn more about it. Eventually I would like to take a photography class... but for now I will just learn from the genius of the avid photographers in my life... Colby, Trude, Heather and Mindy. I really would like to get a few decent shots of myself and my friends for a new calender. I never got a calendar for my room this year and I miss it. I hope to get enough good shots to make one for myself.. now I just need to find a decent camera as well.

10. CELEBRATE FINISHING THE BAR WITH A FIESTA

Warning to you all... when I finish the bar we are going to party like it's 1999, only with alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

11. HAVE AN ADVENTURE

I want one big crazy adventure this summer. I want to do something I normally wouldn't do and step out of my comfort zone... in any capacity in life. I want something to remember this last of my student summer's by and I don't want it to be the bar. Suggestions welcome.

So that is my list to be a better and happier person by the end of summer. What's yours?

Familiar Pattern
Current mood: bitchy

I can feel it... a familair pattern is starting to emerge courtesy of Barbri, PMBR and the bar.

7:00- Wake up and Get Ready
8:00- Light Breakfast
8:30-9- Travel to School
9-1 or sometimes 1:30 or sometimes 2- Bar Prep Class
Some semblance of a lunch
Gym
STUDY
Some semblance of a dinner meal
STUDY

This routine takes place Monday through Friday but really kicks up into the new levels of fun on the weekend where you spend all day Studying and you are lucky if you grab a meal. (however you have to make time for church or the Polish Mafia will whack you).

You miss out on the cool things... like trips to Disneyland and the MTV Movie awards to write Bar Essays that you have to turn in the next day... ohh and practice problems lots of practice multi-state problems. Fuck Barbri.

Purge
Current mood: adventurous

I have been having an interesting couple of days. I think some sort of bug has bit me because I have had the urge to purge. (in the healthy sense). I have spent the last couple of days randomly going through drawers and boxes and things in my room and cleaning it all up.

My goal has been to make room for the new. I feel that at this point in my life it's time for some new... I just need to let go of some of the old and failing in all aspects of my life. I guess my room is my first purge and is symbolic of my psychological need to rid my life of some of its cancers that have been making it unhappy for the past months.

The most major purge of stuff was some old stuff on my bulletein board connected to that person that kinda got away. It was super cathartic to just finally get rid of it and let it go. I threw away a very treasured photo and this napkin that he stole for my on my birthday... time to live and let die.

All in all I am feeling rather chipper with my purge, however I have a lot more things (in all senses) to get rid of because I am sick of dealing with people and things in my life that add stress. I have decided to become moderately selfish as I approach the bar. :)

I encourage you all to take a look at your life and purge, its super helpful . (and your space looks just fabulous afterward!)

A Happy Ending
Current mood: giddy

I am having a surprisingly happy morning, which is an odd occurence when you have a final in less than a few hours. I guess what makes this morning special is that it is my last morning as a law student.... today is officially my last day of law school...ever!

When I started at Chapman I thought I would never get to this day and now it's here. ( and a lot faster than I thought it would be). I am most excited to be done with the schooling but not so jazzed about the bar. ( surprise!)

Although this morning is overcast... it's my kind of weather... cool. The birds are singing and I am sitting here trying to zen myself. I know my stuff for my last test.. I am calm. It is weird to be this calm when something that has been so important to me is ending.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this process. Especially to the individuals who have so graciously given me understanding when I can't make it to events, when I am stuck in school, when I don't call as much, and when I just can't be there. Your support, even in my absence, has been fantastic and I hope you can lend me some more of it until I finish the bar in July.

I am most grateful for my best friends, who have been with me since the beginning and have provided me with laughter, love, support, drinks and movie nights. I am especially thankful for my hetero life partners Katie and Trude, who have provided me with the me with the sanity to make it when no one else gave a crap.

And of course, to you my new law school buddies, and life long friends. You are all so beautiful, special, smart and talented and I love you dearly. I can't wait for more trips to Vegas, Big-Daddy Nights, crazy birthday parties, and fuck-it weekends.

Today is a beautiful day and a happy ending, a closing of an important chapter. I am so happy that I have had people around me that make it memorable.

Congrats to Class of 2008! We did it!

Disconcerting... it’s all disconcerting
Current mood: anxious

I am rapidly bringing a chapter of my life to a close. It is my most beloved chapter containing all of my carefree rendevous outside the adult world of work, bills, a mortgage etc. My schooling, and therefore my time as a "kid" will end in a mere two weeks... and I just don't know how to feel about it anymore.

I always thought I would be made of something more when I reached this stage in my life. I would be thinner, prettier, more successful, more settled, fulfilled in all of my friendships and happily besotted with some idiot guy etc.... but I don't really have any of those things yet and I am started to get concerned. When does all of this fall into place... or does it ever? It seems like the minute I get close to achieving onen of these objectives something goes terribly wrong to screw it all up again. I have no peace yet.

I am beginning to think that my life would be easier if I had a lombodomy but was incredibly hot in some respect. Stupid and attractive seems to be accomplishing more than smart and not soo attractive.

I don't know if all this ish is stirred up by fear of the future or discontent with the present. Or maybe it's just finals jitters.... I can't really say anymore. All I know is that right now I feel lost, fear of failing and distrust towards people and their bullshit.

I need a beer....... lots and lots of beer.

Happiness on the most insipid day of the year
Current mood: happy

I hate Valentines day... no really I hate it. Mostly because I believe it is a consumer driven holiday that forces people to go to great lengths to prove their "love" through high dollar purchases. I really think that flowers, gifts or even just little love notes are so much more meaningful on some random day rather than on Valentines day. Of course, some of you reading this are probably thinking my cynicism and general distaste for the holiday is a product of me being perpetually alone. ( yes, this is a factor, but it isn't the only one).

As much as I loathe and despise this day ( and protest by wearing all black :) ), someone did something for me this morning that made today special for me. I was driving to work on the toll road as usual...etc.etc. I always have this one old man who takes my toll at one of the booths and I go to him special becuase he is so sweet. Well today he asked me if he could give me a kiss for Valentines day and of course I accepted. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and a Hershey's kiss to travel along with. This simple gesture was the best Valentines day gift a girl could get. I drove to work with a warm fuzzy feeling I never get on this day..,

So to you Joe, thank you for making this a memorable Valentines day and for your kindness to me every other day of the year!

Twilight.... and a way to escape the holiday season :)

It's no secret that I love christmas.. really I do. I love the carols, decorations, food and the general "cheer" that everyone adopts for a few short days. ( and by cheer i mean using some sort of sharp object to bludgeon the bitch next to you at Nordstroms who is attempting to take the shoes you have your eye on.)

However, Christmas sometimes comes at a price. Admist it all there is a part of the holiday season that leaves you a bit worn at the edges. Sometimes I find myself sighing relief when the long holiday season is over and life can return to normal with no surprise drop ins from relatives, frantic gift shopping, and hours practicing your fake happy face when you open that less than perfect gift. :)

My escape this season has come in the form of a book.. well 3 to be exact. Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series has literally been my saving grace. It has definately kept me entertained and has fed my imagination enough to keep me from dwelling on the negatives of the holiday season. What negatives you might ask ( simply that 1) im alone 2) no longer as thin and 3) oddly plagued by dreams of my very own emotional bloodsucker who won't seem to die)

These books are A for amazing and have offered me the best escape possible. They are one of those rare novels that are descriptive enough to make you feel like you are the main character. ( and damnit I wish I was... the story is soo thrilling). I highly recommend the series to any and all looking for a good distraction. While I would say they are more for girls.. if you are interested in vampirish like lore I think you will find them enjoyable.

Purchase a copy and escape yourself. As an end to this ramdom book plugging blog. Merry Christmas to all my friends out there in myspace land. Give me a call.. we should be drinking together at a bar very soon!

Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend
Current mood: enthralled

As finals approach, I am sure you all realize the immense pressure, agitation, and craziness that all law students feel. In a nutshell we spend two weeks holed up in our respective "Bat Caves" cursing God, Allah, Buddha and Xenu for ever prompting us to attend law school.

By the end of this antiquated two-week brain whipping we are listless, tired, run down and pop out at parties. ( if you get this reference...a no carb cookie for you). Today, a perfectly pre-freak out final day, my friends and I decided to get a little distraction in. Together we found the Holy Grail of stress relief, the key to endless endorphines, and one helluva way to kill an hour... VINTAGE JEWELRY SHOPPING.

Now some of you may be thinking of costume jewelry, however, this was not the object of our quest. Since my two extremely beautiful and talented friends are soon to be two beautiful and talented married friends we were engagement ring shopping. To the delight of our salivary glands we discovered everyone's perfect ring from the 1920's or modeled closely after an early 20th century design. As a matter of fact, Nicole, invented the new chic wedding ring trend... two engagement rings. :) She found the most perfect rings in two vintage stores, one from the 1920's and one modeled after a 20's vintage style.(both rings for under $15,000 woo!) Niyati, found a more modern version ring with an old-style flair that she is planning on putting a 1.5 carat solitare in the middle of. We spent so much time drooling they had to clean the rings immediately afterward. ;)

So where was my catharsis. Obviously I am pitifully single, however, Nicole in her imminent evil found me an amazing art deco diamond ring for the low low prince of $4100.00. I don't know if you can have an orgasm from a diamond, but I felt pretty good wearing it. Since the vintage store it's located in has a year and a half, no-interest, layaway plan, I am thinking of holding the rings as a congrats you passed the bar present to myself. :)

I have begun to wonder if diamonds are the cure for everything... I am guessing so. These musings are based on today's research and the fact that if you have to lust after something, make sure it lasts forever. Diamond's are a girl's best friend and today's wonder cure for final's anxiety.

PS. Maybe the cure is vintage shopping in general... purses, shoes and clothes are also good.... :)

Adios Summer
Current mood: cold
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes

Alright soo I posted a blog about a million years ago that detailed my beginning of the summer vacation to Utah and the Grand Canyon... obviously a lot has happened since then. For those of you bored enough to read.... here is my summer synopsis.

I started working for a real property firm in Foothill Ranch. I quickly learned that the only way to decide if you are going to like a type of law is to get your hands dirty. I have definately discovered that civil litigation probably isn't for me. I don't know if the dislike stems from my work or my firm's environment. I work for really nice people in a really crazy firm. We currently are handling too many cases and I spend most of my time trying to find documents in a crazy, fast-paced, holy crap we are gonna miss the deadline, disorganized environment. This process, as you can imagine, induces some severe stress that I don't want to deal with. I have contemplated quitting my job to preserve my sanity, but I was offered a job at a golf tournament... I figured I mights as well stay and keep the offer in my back pocket because it's something. So if you wonder why I seem stressed, tired, unavailable or out of it.. now you know.

I took a great vacation with my family this summer to Boston, New York and Chicago. I believe I have become a travel snob because none of the historical sights in this country impress me. Really.... everything is pretty underwhelming once you have walked through the halls of Versailles, the Louvre, the Sistine Chapel, and the canals of Venice. Irrespective of this, my family had a great time exploring New York together. New York was awesome, fast paced and fun. My Polish family immensely enjoyed canal street where you can dicker for a bargain. If you know my family then you know that we can't pass up dickering for cheap goods!  :) Chicago was probably the best part of our trip because we got to visit family my grandma and dad haven't seen since they moved in 1962. The best part was meeting my auntie stash and getting to tour the house that my grandparents built! My family acutally relaxed a bit this trip at a bed and breakfast in Glouchester, Mass. For any of you traveling on the east coast my suggestion is to find some small bed and breakfast in the middle of a cute coast town and forget that there is an outside world.

My family vacation, like all vacations, ended too soon and I had to come back to the grind of work. I worked 40 hours a week throughout my entire summer for a measeley 15 dollars an hour. Now most of you probably wouldn't balk at 15 an hour but my firm charges upwards of 170 dollars an hour for the work I do. Tell me how this is fair compensation???? I attribute my sanity this summer to my wonderful, perfect, beautiful amazing and supportive friends and family.

I spent a lot of time with my family... namely (mom, dad, amma, katie, Trude, Heather, Mindy, erin, Jen etc.)These people kept me going with fun movie nights, video game extravaganza's, drinks, Japanese food, golf, and then some. It was awesome to spend some quality alone time with Trude. I know she was sad with Chris being gone and all... but it was great to finally get to spend copious amount of girlie time with her on a whim. I definately am going to miss that now that Chris is home. Heather, Mindy and Trude always keep me upbeat, smiling and in the realm of reality... they are definately my trio of peeps that keep sense in this airhead of mine. Katie... there is no words to describe Katie other than sheer awesomeness.

My lawschool friends were definately instrumental in my fun this summer. We had lots of happy hour/movie going get togethers at various bars and restaurants in the OC. It was good to see them over the summer and to get back to what we are soo good at together... drinking and laughing and drinking. :)

I took two blissful trips to Vegas this summer. I took one in July with Heather and Jen for what I categorize as sanity rejuvination. I was losing it in the middle of July with work and just wanted to get away from OC and have something to look forward too. I spent a great weekend at the Golden Nugget hotel swimming in a $2,000,000 pool complete with 3 story waterslide and shark tank. (awesome!).

My second venture was a lawschool re-union. I stayed in a great suite with Lora and Beth and had waaaaay to much fun eating at expensive restaurants and lounging by the pool. We all spent the weekend eating and sitting by the pool drinking. I think that should be every vacation's goal for this point forward.. drinking and sitting in the pool all day. It was total bliss. In addition, I discovered a new slot machine to be addicted to. Everyone has to play penny deal or no deal it is the shizzz.

And that is a small wrap up of my crazy summer. I am drooling over the October festivities that are about to commence. Everyone and their mom is born in October if you didn't know and my social calendar should be chalk full of events to attend. Let the champagne begin flowing!!!

Thanks to everyone who made this summer so great and who make my life so blessed every day!

Trip 1.. Utah 2007... the beginning of Summer

Hey everyone. I have been putting off blogging for quite some time. I guess I just had too many trip photos to sift through. I finally got over my procrastination and laziness and uploaded the first half to photobucket tonight. Soo.. if you are a little bored and are in need of a good laugh.. take a gander at the photos that commemorate my first camping trip. ( for those of you who really know me you understand that my idea of camping is a 3 star hotel... so you can imagine the antics of me actually sleeping in a tent and hiking...)

Lawschool came to a blessed end in May. I finished all of my finals on a Tuesday. I decided what better day to leave on a vacation then the day I was done. My friend Melinda wanted to get into some National Parks.. so I persuaded her to spend 2 nights in Vegas and 3 nights doing naturey stuff that she wanted to get me addicted too. ( and it worked.. camping is fun for a night or two.)

So when I finished Tuesday I had my mom pick me up and I met Melinda and I lugged my heavy suitcase down the stairs and took off for Las Vegas. Our time in Vegas is not documented on film.. mainly because we all know what Vegas looks like. Mindy and I did a few of the regular Vegasy things. We played blackjack, drank, played video poker, stayed up late, etc. All in all standard par for the course, however, mid-vegas vacation we took a trip our to the Red Rock Canyon Reserve for some hiking.

The day dawned bright and clear and we made quick work of the 45 minute drive to red rock. It was 85 degrees with a breeze. (apparently perfect hiking weather according to Mindy... however... I am always up for cool temperatures when I am exercising) So here is a photo of the beauty that we saw coming into Red Rock

Mindy and I decided to hike into the redesst part of the canyon. Now this hike was about a mile or so in.. maybe a bit more. The trail was not marked of course and was hilly and rocky and hard to navigate. ( well for a novice like me) So we took our time.. we were both breathing decently hard by the end but it was totally worth it. Check out the beautiful rock we climbed to.

After making the trek back we drove up to the Visitor's Center and looked around. We also decided to drive the 11 mile loop around the entire state park. It was a really pretty drive. We stopped at one of the lookout points and decided (stupidly) to climb down this huge fuck off hill and go boulder climbing. Don't believe me... here is a picture of me climbing down (the easy part) The look of concentration on my face is me saying a silent prayer that I don't fall on my ass.

And here are picture of me and Mindy standing atop this huge bolder we hiked up. See how tiny we are?

Mindy

Me

As you can imagine.. climbing down and then back up the hill o death we climbed down was the hard part.. our lungs pretty much exploded but it was awesome. Mindy and I rounded out the day with this awesome lunch from whole foods of fruit and cheese and crackers. We got to bed early and drove the next morning to Zion National Park in Utah. Mindy was more excited than a kid at Christmas when she learned there was camping spots available. We checked into camp first and made our little home before exploring. Here is our campsite before.

And here is our campsite after our hard work. ( PS check out the fucking incredible view we had from our site behind the tent!)

After making camp we decided that it was time to hike. Hooray! We took a tram to the top of the national park and took some photos on the way of the beautiful mountains and wildlife that is Zion. Everyone ooh and ahh at the prettiness.

OHHH!! AHHH!!

So our first hike was the Riverwalk trail. You basically make a mile and a half walk into the heart of the canyon and end up in a river. Once at the river you have a choose your own adventure moment. You can simply turn round and try another hike.. or you can get your tennis shoes completely wet and go trapsing up the river with your jeans rolled up and your camera over your head. Guess what we chose.

Option one: The trial back

Option 2: Wet shoes... cool water..

And the correct answer was.. option 2 wet shoes cool water. Here is a picture of me hiking up the river trying not to slip on the rocky bottom. (Melinda was way more pimp than me at this.. she hiked up the tremelous slippery rock bottomed river in a skirt and fricking flip flops.. because that is how she rolls.)

After flailing in the water and hiking we decided to do the hike to the Weeping Rock. The weeping rock is a beautiful place. Water literally weeps from the mountains and creates these crazy hanging gardens. Now the plaque for hike tells you that it's a half mile and a "mild" hike. LIES! The hike happens to be straight the fuck uphill.. and when you get to the end.. you have to climb stairs. Evil.. but worth it. Here is weeping rock.

And here is my getting my daily vitamins from weeping rock

We were so tired after the uphill climed that we retired. Here is one of the only pics of me and Mindy together on our way back to camp.

 We went into town got firewood and supplies and had dinner. That night Mindy and I got to hang out. We played cards, drank tea and made smores. (hmm yes). Neither of us got any sleep at night due to this amazing windstorm during the night. Our tent was literally swaing above us and we were both secretly praying to go that the tent wouldn't collapse. Also.. I was freaking out that some sort of small monster was going to come and attack us... you never know with nature. Day 2 we were leaving for the Grand Canyon but before we left we decided to do the Hike to the Emerald Pools. Here are pics of me and Mindy looking fresh on Day 2. And literally we were as fresh as we could be what with mini showering in the campsite bathrooms!

Me: (check our my crap hair!)

Mindy at the emerald Pool ( who always looks fabulous in nature btw)

We left Zion sadly. We definately wanted another day. We then proceeded to drive 5 hours to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was literally the longest drive ever considering there is nothing but dessert between Zion and the Canyon. Mindy and I had a good time singing in the car. I felt bad for falling asleep a few million times. We finally got to the Canyon and did the who driving loop up the rim. The visitor's center was bloody packed to crap so we didn't bother shuttling in to see that new glass walkway which costs 25 bucks to walk on. Here is a pic of the grand canyon.. I will spare you the time of seeing the others because they all kinda look the same..

The Grand Canyon- rocks and a big hole

After the canyon Mindy and I drove another 50 miles into a little town in Arizone. We went touristy shopping got some Mexican food and drove home the next day. A successful trip full of beautiful nature. I definately will be going back to Zion and Mindy of course wants to now take me to Arches and Bryce. This plan includes all of you dear readers.. so get your hiking boots on!

If you made it to this point. .you deserve a cookie or something.. your eyes must hurt. Installment two of my crazy trip to Chicago, Boston and New York with my family will come later.

As for the rest of school related news. My grades were awesome this semester and I am really proud of myself. I aced my big paper that I spent too many hours slaving over and I have a great job with a property law firm in Lake Forest. Which reminds me.. I need to get some sleep I gotta be up at 6:45 manana. Night all.. until next time!
