FINALLY. I think this was officially the longest wait of my whole entire life. I've never had so little confidence in my future as I have in these couple months. THANK YOU BAR GODS, now I can finally focus on finding a job...I kissed the computer screen when I saw my name on the list at 2 am. I can totally understand ( Read more... )

It's true. I've received a Gift from "God." It seems that I have unlimited free coffee at the Safeway Starbucks across from my apartment building. The second one I thought was a fluke but as of today, I've gotten 3 coffees in a row this week (including fancy drinks), and every single one registered as free in their computer system. Now i need to ( Read more... )

I'm getting annoyed that people make certain assumptions about my time because I'm unemployed and in bar purgatory. Because my week goes like this ( Read more... )

Since taking the big B, I've lost 10 lbs (more than one person has commented, are you eating?), become a Professional Non-Profit Volunteer Extraordinaire and continue to do movie surveys over the weekend (which secretly I enjoy, don't tell). This week I got a cold on Monday and by Thursday morning, I was 100% better. This is unprecedented, since ( Read more... )

I think I may have just had the most guiltily glorious swimming experience in my whole entire life. I had the pool all to myself on the 10th floor of this posh french hotel. It's this sort of pool that glows at night. Sided by windows, with a view of the Chicago skyline. I could see my reflection on the ceiling and it looked like a scene from ( Read more... )

I'm just going to assume I passed it until I hear otherwise. Any other sort of thinking has the potential to make my life very miserable before October 10th (the day my results are revealed). But I just want to say: it was definitely the grossest thing I've ever done. I didn't sleep very well for 4 nights and at 3 am the next morning, I had to ( Read more... )

Today is so perfect I want it to die.

Either it's the child of god or the first ever off-spring of a same-sex couple. My period is currently 2 weeks late.

In case you are wondering what happened to me...I've been studying for the bar. Or procrastinating studying for the bar. I can tell you a lot about the voting rights of shareholders in a corporation but don't ask me to be entertaining because I don't have many good stories that don't involve the rule of perpetuities. Sometimes I would really ( Read more... )

I was at Safeway, going through the Checkout aisle, and there is one check out clerk in particular that I always get who (and I'm not sure if it's proper to say it but I have to for the sake of description) looks like he has AIDS and is about to die soon. And I know what that looks like. He always seems like he's about to fall apart, but yet, all ( Read more... )
