Had an awesome night out which involved hearing this friend of a friends band (who was actually really good), going to ANU for grime city and dancing my ass off, taking the 14 back to the mission cause every cab that went by was full, having the 14 bus be diverted because someone had just gotten murdered on 19th and mission causing the 14 to get more off the hook than usual, going to another party at 2:30 that was still completely full and eating a veggie torta at 3 am while trying not to fall asleep on th table.
Now I'm at this cafe doing work and eating this surprising amazing crepe with mint cucumber sauce (!). When I first got here i asked this woman if someone was sitting next to her (there was a half glass of coffee on the table) and she said "no" so I put my bag down and got in line. A few minutes later, this guy walked up to my seat and was looking like it was his seat so I went over and apologized and said I would take another seat. But he was insistent I take the seat (although he looked annoyed)so I got back in line. Then he walks by and says real loud "if you see a drink on a table don't take a seat-its just common courtesy." WTF? So after I ordered I walked over to him and bitched him out for being a crazy asshole. He was really not expecting it and it was pretty sweet.

I just found out that I am getting this award for leadership and public service at graduation. I was nominated by my professors and the students in my class voted last month between all the nominees. Apparently their was a three way tie-so I'll be getting it with two other people. The three of us and the valedictorian will be sitting on stage during graduation (I am relieved that I don't have to give some sort of speech). It was funny because when the woman from student services came up to me to tell me about it, she just said "i really need to talk to you" and i thought I was in some sort of trouble, maybe that I had missed a unit and wouldn't be graduating.
It feels really nice to be validated-especially when I'm feeling so anxious about so many things.

I've ridden my bike every day this week. I made a promise to myself that I would at least ride my bike to and from school (which is about 7 miles round trip with about 1/2 being uphill-with some really steep ones) every day between now and the bar and also take it around the city as much as I can. Dan used to joke about "bike therapy" but i'm definitely finding it to be a real thing. I've been feeling great this week and given the insanely stressful nature of my life right now is invaluable.

In class the other day we were talking about images of lawyers and someone brought up Eliot Spitzer. This guy raised his hand and said "I bet people are gonna disagree with me but I don't think what he did was that big of a deal." Which I can pretty much agree with-their are definitely much worse things that public officials are doing (although the irony of the situation is kind of hilarious). But then he went on to say " and i think that under some circumstances I might have done the same thing.." WTF? Probably one of the best comments I have ever heard in law school.

The closer I get to finishing school the more I want to finish my left arm half sleeve. I think its me trying to rebel because I know i'll be cooped up studying all summer and that I am about to join what some my think is a more conservative profession. Or maybe its because I'm about to turn thirty.
Nikki McClure emailed me back and gave me the "ok" to use and tweak one of her designs. Anyone want to lend me 1K so I can get going on it already?

Waking up to your house-mates having a screaming fight about breaking up for the millionth time is NOT a great way to start your Sunday morning. I sort of feel bad listening to them talk about the intimate details of their relationship while screaming and crying-but it is my house too. I just want to walk in there and demand that one of them move out already-although I honestly do like them both. I've definitely been in failing relationships that have dragged out forever and wish someone would have intervened-but I guess people have to make their own mistakes.
In other news I had another fabulous weekend where i pretended I have no final exams and that I'm not taking the bar in 4 months. This seems like an on-going theme. Last weekend I promised I would only stay at this party for a half-hour and instead left at 3am. Then I promised that I would only pop-in at the anarchist book-fair-but ended up inviting 10-12 people over to have a bbq afterwards-which turned into a huge slumber party. This weekend was more of the same. The highlights were- last night's dessert at citizen cake where I spent 11 dollars (did i mention im 117 K in debt?) on a "banana split" which involved asparagus foam, chocolate noodles and this amazing ice-cream. We also had creme brulee with rose water-yumm. Then I met up with a huge group of people and went to this party in Bernal heights-which took me almost 2 hours to get home from on the bus. The guys sitting behind me on the 14 were smoking a bowl and the bus-driver didn't bat an eyelash.
I'm really gonna miss my friends while studying for the bar...its like i'm going on a long trip or something.
Oh-and I got a new haircut which I love!

- I've been moving like a whirlwind since I got back from Mexico. I planned a really mellow semester and decided to get a job at the library and start volunteering at this immigration clinic and the other million things I already committed to. I think I just cant function without being insanely busy.
- I have also been down in the dumps a bit. I think its the finality of graduating and taking the bar, which is in six and a half months. I'll have to make some big decisions soon and I'm going to have to get a job.
- I spent half the day in bed cause I feel like I am coming down with something. Hopefully its not that cold/flu everyone I know has!
- Last night I went roller-skating with my house mates and other friends for Chrystal's birthday. We went to the closest rink to SF, which was 30 minutes away in Redwood city. I suprised my self by actually skating pretty good, since its been about 12 years since I have done that. It might have been the sugar from the vegan ice cream cake we ate.
alright, I'm off to do my business associations homework (=boring).

yesterday I felt totally ready for immigration final because 1. I had worked hard 2. I am taking it pass/fail 3. I was allowed to bring the statutory supplement in. So basically all I need is to pass. But, when I started reading the exam I had a panic attack of some sort. This has never happened to me before and I guess it was triggered by being overwhelmed and not knowing the answers to some of the questions. I literally couldn't do anything for about 30 minutes. I wrote something which I am hoping will allow me to pass. I was pretty shaken up and my housemates gave me two shots of whiskey and sent me to bed. I am feeling much better now but am taking another exam in a few hours...aghhh I really hate law school sometimes.

One: my school is off of their probation status they had because of low bar passage because they did real good on the bar the past few times.
Two: i passed the mpre exam which is this ethics thing you have to take before the bar. yay!
I have three exams in the next week starting tomorrow. I feel real good about the first two but not so good about the last one. wish me luck!

I just finished a paper for this class called gender and the Law where i argue (among other things) that the institution of slavery is being perpetuated in our current legal system. How is that for an untraditional law class? Its been a nice change of pace to take this class and I have been able to pull form my women's studies background quite a bit.
So as of now, I am three classes down, three more to go. It will all end with a crazy three hour final on wills and trusts on December 9th. Then its off to NY and Mexico from December 17th to the January 8th-which is pretty much the only place I can pull motivation from right now. Oh and Flight of the Choncords (i know i live under a rock because i don't have cable and have only just discovered it a few weeks ago). This song has been going through my head (and the heads of my poor house mates i'm assuming) all day..
