Wedding Dance First As A Couple FUNNY Baby Got Back

This could be what I am going to do for my first dance. This is great!

Music is my boyfriend!

Well, Thanksgiving was a culinary success of course! I am really really missing the amazing food now. I had tuna-nuna casserole tonight along with my last piece of blackberry pie. Yes, my last reminder of Thanksgiving is in my belly! So sad, let me tell you.
So, this week has been interesting. I have been waking up super early to get used to waking up early for the LSAT on Saturday. I am anxious, excited, and nervous for the LSAT to be over with. I really hope I get a good score. We shall see though. I feel prepared, and I feel like I have worked my butt off. This week, however, is all about staying healthy, getting enough sleep, and relaxing. I'm treating my mind and body super well this week. If only I could give this much time and attention to myself every week.
Next week will be a long, dragging week since it's finally the last week of classes. The last couple weeks of the semester always go so slow, and this semester is no exception to the rule. My finals should not be too bad, but I really want to pull all As this semester so my GPA gets higher and my transcript looks wonderful. I cannot believe I'll be entering my last real semester of undergrad in what...6 weeks! How crazy. It's starting to get bittersweet, and I'm starting to think about things as my last time of doing something. I also get a little freaked out when I begin to think about leaving Dayton knowing I won't be coming back. Weird. At the same time, I'm ready and excited to see where I'll be spending the next three years of my life. Woo hoo!
The first real snow happened over Thanksgiving. I didn't even know it was coming; it surprised me when I woke up. Someone could have warned me. Blah. And to think, I didn't even bring a winter coat or winter shoes home for break, and it snowed. Thank goodness every time I go home, I am bombarded with gifts, and my gifts this time fit the weather perfectly.
The other day in my one class we were talking about environmental, population, natural resource, and other problems around the world. The one fact that really blew my mind was that each day, some people in the world live on only 1.3 gallons of water. In the U.S. when we flush the toilet, we use 1.6 gallons. How insane is that?! Also, a lot of people in the world live on $2 a day. Next time you get a Starbucks coffee, think of all the people who only have that for one day...and you are just buying a coffee. Be aware of waste in your life. No one needs waste or clutter, and I guarantee you'll feel better when it's gone.
Well, Project Runway is on now. I must watch and sleep.

To Do: Blog About the To Do List Blog

So, I just happened to happen upon a really neat blog. It's www.todolistblog.com. As an avid to-do list maker (yes, I have a daily to-do list every single day), I feel as though this is really cool. The book looks really interesting too. Check it out!
Anyhow, the week is halfway over, thank goodness. I am kinda dying. It's one of those weeks where I feel as though I'm trying so hard to swim above the water and keep moving forward, but I'm just treading water, my head going under at some points. At least I hopefully don't have to work tomorrow, and I definitely have Friday off. I need it...badly. I also need to get home soon for break. I am just so excited to have Thoryn coming because I know I'm going to have a great, carefree couple of days with him.
The LSAT is in two and a half weeks. I am kind of freaking out, but it really hasn't hit me yet. All my letters of recommendation have been turned in. All that is missing from my applications is my Dayton transcript and my LSAT score. Crazy. I keep getting excited for next year, but at the same time, I keep getting slightly scared. I get to live alone, perhaps in a different city. This sounds exciting, but at the same time a little scary. I'm just anxious to see where I'll be. Who even knows at this point.
Life just keeps twisting and turning...I have no idea what's around the corner.

That's a lot of tubas!

So, today was quite the eventful day. I went to classes, and of course those were less than eventful. But afterwards, Erin, Amanda, and I went shopping because Erin and Amanda needed shirts to wear to our party tomorrow night. Erin drove, and of course, she hit a parked car. Haha. That was the fourth immovable object she's hit in her time. She's my idol and hero. If I only I could hit as many non-moving objects as Erin does.
The other interesting event is that our toilet overflowed today in our apartment. I mean, overflowed as in the sense that our entire bathroom was flooded. Great. At least no one poo-pooed in it. It just overflowed because it has the flu. Poor sicky little toilet. Don't worry, it's fixed now.
So, I have 5 projects due next week, and most of those projects are group projects. Which mean they will definitely come down to the wire. I'll finish up most of them this weekend, I hope. Otherwise, I have all my homework done for the next 2 weeks. It's crunch time for the LSAT, so I need to start putting all my time and energy into studying for that big test.
Good news is that Thoryn is coming to visit next weekend. I really am excited to see him, and he's staying for 5 days, so it will be a nice long visit. Woo hoo! A nice reward after many weeks of hard work.
I am getting very anxious to go home for Thanksgiving. I really do need a break and some good home-cooked food. Today I ate shells and cheese for dinner. I definitely am lacking in the motivation to cook department. Oh well...as long as I keep surviving. That's all that matters.
Well, I'm off to watch a movie and sleep. I need sleep so much. Last night the roomies and I played some Family Feud and What the F*uck? drinking games. Let me tell you, no more drinking on Wednesday nights for this little girl. It's not even that I drank a lot or that I was hungover today. It's more like the lack of sleep is hurting me. And I need to start really taking care of myself because I do not want to be sick for the LSAT.

First, there's my lovely Halloween costume. I enjoyed my suspenders a lot. I may wear them random other times. It was a good one, and I'm totally using that hat during the winter here on campus.
Second, I finished all my law school applications finally. Now it's crunch time for the LSATs. I will study after I'm done with my lovely blog post.
So, tonight I am going to a semi-formal with my roomies. I am excited because it's basically a high school dance all over again. Haha. YES! I get to relive all those wonderful high school years...yeah right. I wouldn't go back if you paid me a million dollars. The main point of tonight is that Erin is finally turning 21. I've been waiting for this day since I decided Erin was my friend...which was over two years ago. I am super excited for her! Last night I even taught her the quintessential drinking games: kings, screw the dealer, and quarters. She luckily already knows beer pong. Tonight will be fun!
So, the weather is getting colder which means soon I will become a horribly crabby girl from the coldness of the north. One day I'll get out of this cold.
Well, I'm off to work out (even though I may cough up a lung while I'm doing it because my preschools tend to cough all over me every day) and then study for the LSATs and then get prettied up for tonight. Woo hoo!
