Sorry that my LiveJournal's been more like a TotallyDeadJournal lately... I'll try to update a bit more frequently!

I've just printed out the many medical forms I'm required to send in to HLS by mid-July. I'll have to get a tetanus booster soon, among other things... ugh. I just love their checklist of ailments, which includes:

Back pain, chronic: ( Read more... )

Check this out- it's a site featuring Garfield cartoons with Garfield himself removed from the panels. The result is, as the site's creator puts it, "an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life." It's totally hilarious!

Upon further reflection, I probably shouldn’t have decided to take classes with all of my favorite professors this semester. This is because my favorites also tend to be the most enthusiastic about their subjects, and hence the most demanding. Combined with the expectation they all seem to share that I’ll ace absolutely everything in their classes ( Read more... )

 Leaving tomorrow for Georgetown Law’s admitted students events… soooo excited!

Stuff I’ll get to do, other than touring the school, etc.:
- Tour of Supreme Court (yes, I actually get to go inside!)

Okay, this is just too amusing to not post. From Mitch Albom's column in yesterday's Free Press (his columns are usually so good... why must he write those trite books about meeting dead people/hanging out with dying people that are turned into saccharine TV movies?) :

President George W. Bush laments his critics to the tune of "The Little Drummer ( Read more... )

My Predictions for Harry Potter #7 (and no, I haven't looked @ any of the spoilers from the ppl. who got the book early):

1. Ron will die. DIE!!! Everyone knows that befriending an epic hero isn't exactly the way to guarantee a long and healthy life. And with any luck, since I've really loathed him since around Book #4, his death will occur when he' ( Read more... )

Finals are over, grades are in (WTF, only two A+'s?!), and grandmas are buried. Let the break relaxing-ness begin!

The funeral went OK, for a funeral.

High points (and yes, I'm quite aware that I'm an insensitive money-grubber, thank you very much):

- Finding out that due to the strongly savings-oriented persona favored by both sides of my family, ( Read more... )

Well, today was... interesting.

Liz had her graduation ceremony (although she still has a couple of finals next week and they didn't even give out the "real" diplomas- I know, does that suck or what?) today, so I got to wake up early and sit through the usual litany of mind-numbingly boring commencement speaker addresses.
