One Obstacle Down

The LSAT is over …. can you imagine my excitement!?  No more LSAT prep, logic games, or having freak out sessions.  I’m actually looking forward to finishing my applications and writing my personal statement (which is an entire story by itself).

Unfortunately, though, I’ve got a paper and a journal assignment to write before tomorrow.  So despite the fact that I WANT to blog and tell you all about how the LSAT went and how relieved I am, it has to wait until I finish these assignments.  The good news is that I’m almost finished with the paper.  I just need to tie up some loose ends.

Also, I’m still doing WW/SOTSJ but doing pretty bad with eating at this point.  I’ll blog about that too, promise.

Oooh!  And I’ll be 22 in five days!

On Board

While reading Jen’s blog, I felt this little urge deep inside me to reinstate my Weight Watchers subscription.  After thinking about it for a few days, I think I’m going to go ahead and do it.  I found a coupon online that saved me an extra $10 off of a three month subscription and this is going to be my Christmas/birthday present to myself.

I also joined The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans.  They’re the other reason why I decided to sign up for Weight Watchers again.  I realized that I didn’t have a real plan as to diet and exercise and hadn’t for awhile.  That’s not good, especially with me being as busy as I am!

I started out with the Flex Plan on Weight Watchers and am allowed to have 25 points a day, 35 a week.  When I was on Weight Watchers before I believe I started out with 25/35 as well, so this won’t be too difficult.  The most difficult part of this will be watching what I eat and drink over the holidays, exercising despite the craziness, and drinking enough water (which is always hard for me even though I don’t mind it).  Come March 3, I hope to have lost 10% of my current body weight and will continue (successfully) from there!

I spent an hour watching a lecture about a games problem set for the LSAT, so now I’m breaking it up with beginning my risk assessment that is due next week.  I’m doing it on my apartment complex since I wasn’t able to find a local company that was willing to let me do a research project on their security breaches/problems that need to be addressed.  I can’t wait until this class is over!

I also wanted to say thank you to San for sending me an email about my protected post.  I wouldn’t have known that comments were down on that layout had she not emailed me!  I also appreciated her kind words and good luck wishes on Saturday.  She’s a sweet girl, you should go check our her blog.  The protected post is still up (and comments are now enabled), so head on over and read it.

Also, you should check out Jordan’s blog because she is my hostee!  Her blog cracks me up and I love how much she shares about her relationship with the Red Baron.  If you don’t know who I’m talking about, get over there and read on!

Hmm

For those of you who didn’t see it, there is a password protected post below this one.  The password hasn’t changed but if you need it please comment and let me know what your email address is so I can email it to you.

For some reason, comments are not working on protected posts – I’m trying to figure that out, but you can just leave a comment on another entry and I’ll still get it if you wanted to comment.

ETA: I just changed my layout, so now the comments will work in the protected post.  I would love to hear from you!

Private Post Below

I just wrote a private post below this one.  If you’d like the password, please leave a comment with your email address and I’d be more than happy to send it to you.  Just be sure to identify yourself a little bit so I know who the heck is reading what I hold close to my heart.

At My Wit’s End

I am still having problems with my Dell laptop.  Each technician I talk to gives me different answers to the problems I’m having, they want me to ship my laptop so they can fix it but I cannot be without it due to school, and their customer service/overall phone system STINKS to put it mildly.  I am doing my best to be calm and rational whenever I am on the phone with a Dell representative, but honestly, it’s getting more and more difficult to do so.

I added a Wordpress Wall to my sidebar.  Use it if you don’t feel like commenting.  I like random notes and thoughts, so feel free to add to it.

Also, what do you think about this layout?  I wasn’t sure about it at first but now it’s kind of growing on me.  I like the wood background and the colors.  I hope you do too!

It’s nice and warm here again (high 70s this week).  I wore pants to class and couldn’t stop thinking how hot it was.  See, cold weather spoils me.  There’s no way I was meant to live in Florida, haha.

Tom and I are still trying to look for some discount furniture because there are just some bare areas in the apartment.  Being a fresh-out-of-college grad and a still-in-college student, we’re looking at thrift stores.  I figure that everything will match one day.  Just not right now.

I don’t have class tomorrow but instead have to work on a paper for my Criminal Law class.  The paper is based on cases where defendants have used postpartum depression as a defense for murder.  I will enjoy writing that paper only because I get to argue the issue and learn about different cases.  It’s due on Thursday.

Saturday night my friends got together to watch The Exorcist, which I had never seen before.  In the very beginning, the old priest is in Iraq and almost gets hit by a horse cart.  That’s when my freaking out behavior began.  One of my friends was like, “Are you serious?!”  I had a pillow over my face the majority of the time we were watching the movie, and was pretty freaked out until I (finally) fell asleep.  Thankfully, though, I was able to push the stuff I had seen (twisting head, demon face, etc.) out of my mind last night.  Usually things like that plague me for a few days.

Nothing else is really going on … oh!  Hunter went to the dog park again yesterday and did very well again.  He’s finally understanding that the other dogs just want to play! and not hurt him.  He runs around and loves getting chased.  We’re doing better with getting digging under control, but we’re still not sure how to stop it completely.  We’re thinking about buying some mulch, but at $2.63/bag at Walmart and needing about 30 bags to mulch the backyard, we have decided to hold off for awhile on that!

I better get going.  I’m still waiting for Dell to call back, and then I’ve got to get dinner started, followed by laundry and some LSAT practice.  Ciao for now!
