Dance, Dance

So after posting about my rejection of the Ally McBeal option for the new blog title, I started thinking about the show and how much I loved it for the first 2ish seasons (i.e. before it got all weird with Billy having mood issues because of getting a brain tumor and then dying). So in an effort to keep the posts coming and for everyone's enjoyment I have decided to post a link to one of my favorite Ally moments (even though Ally herself is not actually present).

So Here it is : John "The Biscuit" Cage's Famous Barry White Dance

Say My Name

Sorry to all that I have been so insanely slack about updating. Umm, I really don't have an excuse other than to say that Bar Review has zapped all my creativity and desire to blog and my weekends have been hectic with multiple graduations in the family, my birthday, and multiple family birthdays. Basically I have just sucked it, so sorry to any readers who normally rely on me for procrastination material. No long post tonight as I am pretty exhausted but I promise to soon update more on the excitement that is my life. I will really try to at least make a post once or twice a week.

However for now I have decided that I really do need to pick a final name for the new blog cause its bothering me that this blog title is no longer accurate. Dorky thing to be bothered by I know, but this is me we are talking about. So I have decided to stay away from the Ally McBeal thing after the sound reminder by Bonney that being like her isn't necessarily a bad thing. Being a "20 something single attorney" might not have always been my life's plan but frankly its pretty damn spiffy. This is of course said in the spirit that I will soon find employment because adding "unemployed" to the beginning of the above mentioned description does make it a bit less awesome

So Back on topic. This decision leaves me with my final two options(in no particular order):

1) I Strenuously Object (if you don't get this title watch of A Few Good Men right NOW)

2) Ramblings of a Frazzled Mind (cause even on my best of days I am a bit frazzled)

Please let me know which you like best cause I want to change it over this weekend and I really can't decide.

The Sound of Silence

So yeah its been a while since I have managed a post but its not because I don't care about all you loyal blog readers (all 6 of you- two of whom are my sisters). No instead I have just been crazy busy with the whole law school coming to an end thing, exams, sending out billions of resumes, freaking out about a future potentially filled with joblessness and homelessness, planning a graduation get together, preparing for graduation, worrying about the bar exam, trying to take care of my mental and physical health, and of course staying up to date on Grey's and Heroes. Sigh...what a busy life I lead.
However I think the biggest culprit in my lack of attention is a loss of my beloved "borrowed" internet. Ever since December when I moved into my new apartment I have been lucky enough to escape paying for internet but sadly that ship has sailed. I won't lie. It has been horrible! Although I must say in my defense, I did go out and buy the Verizon Wireless Broadband Internet Card only for it to suck some hardcore ass!! Yeah I said it...this card was shit. I went though the whole process of getting it from the store and installing it on my computer only for it to not work in my apartment even though the sales guy assured me it would work anywhere there was a Verizon signal. So I called up the tech support line to see what I had done wrong and he informed me that it "often has problems with reception indoors" What the Hell??!! Who is the target market for this product? People who live and work in treehouses? Or maybe the well-to-do, laptop carrying, on-the-go homeless person? And to add insult to injury they forgot to inform me that there was to be an additional $25 "activation fee" tacked onto my monthly bill. What "activation" occurred? I mean I did all the installation and it didn't even freakin' work. All the Verizon people did was give me the crappy card and a list of instructions. It cost them $25 for this?? Needless to say the card has gone back to Verizon and I got great satisfaction in yelling at them. So its back to checking my email at school or at Panera. Its not a great plan and eventually I will have to break down and just get cable internet. Grr... one more thing to spend money on.
So in other excitement I have another job interview lined up with a solicitor's office in the Upstate. They want to interview even though they do not currently have a position available, but evidently the solicitor was "so impressed with your resume that he wanted to interview you in hopes that something opens up later this summer" Boo-yah!! Now if only I could impress someone who was actually sure they will be able to give me a job.
Um other than that motivation for studying and caring about school is dangerously low. I think it is a good thing that I am graduating in 2 weeks, because I shutter to think about how apathetic I would be if I had another year left. It would be bad business I tell you.
Okay must force myself to go back to studying for the 2 exams I have left. Cause it would be damn crappy to fail out my last semester of law school. I would have to implement my whole "fake my own death and move to a country with no extradition policy" life plan to escape my massive law school debt, and frankly I don't really want to have to take that step because most of those countries pretty much suck it and I am not a girl who is good with the "roughing it" approach to life. Give me running water and electricity any day.
