day three

it's only day three and I'm not sure I can take three more years. I had to leave Criminal law this morning 1/2 way through because I got sick and had to go to the doctor. BOO: today. Overwhelmed. It'll be ok though.

I get to go home this weekend :):) I can't wait to see you!!!!!!!!!

yay

my financial aid finally went through

I did some law school reading tonight too. things are looking up.

my first day

today was my first full day in my apartment, by myself. I got into town last night and hung out with sister Erin. We went to Eastlake bar and grill for happy hour, then she helped me bring all of my things from my car to my apartment. After that we went to her house-sitting-house and then to EARL'S :) yay (yay = free shots, thanks dave, and cheap strawberry lemonaids).
Today we had law school orientation all day. I fell asleep during a lecture on professionalism and conduct in law school. OOPS.
I talked to my friend Rob today who independently contracts for Comcast. He's gonna get someone in here ASAP to set up my cable (yay). Right now I'm watching Clerks 2 b/c it's the only movie I have here. Yay Ellias. Ha.
I hope I can keep busy and not get too lonely here. So far I have a pretty packed schedule. Katie is coming Sunday night and staying for an interview on Monday morning. :) I'm excited.

part two of the move

the day before yesterday brian and I took a trip up to Seattle to move in a bunch more of my things (thankss for driving me up in your big SUV). We stopped at Ikea on the way and got a couch for me (thanks for putting that together ha). it was good. I now have a bed, a couch, a desk, most of my kitchen things, and a fully functioning bathroom. Hey, it's a good start! After moving in all of my things we went to 6arms mcmenimans for happy hour, where I fell in love with Ruby = a raspberry beer. SO good. Good thing it's only about 5 blocks from my apartment. Hah. We then went to a Mariner's game, where the score stayed 0-0 for 14 innings (4 hours). Finally they put Ken Griffy Jr in (FINALLY) and he hit it, they missed the catch and we wonnn. yay.
The next day we bought my books. All $941 worth of books (thanks Brian for helping me carry them back to my apartment). And then we came back to Hood River so I could work. 2 more days at Brian's Pourhouse. Sad times. BUT last night Shwag taught me how to be a bartender and now all I need is linen pants and I don't need law school :):) haha.
also: for all of you skeezies out there: Brian's underground now has video poker. boo.

happy to be alive

today I got attacked by my dog when I was trying to feed/play with him. it was literally one of the scariest things that has ever ever happened to me. I honestly though I was going to die. I thought after that he had broken my hand, but it's just bruised and cut and I'll hopefully be ok soon.

I swear I will never own a dog, ever, after today. I did nothing to provoke that. And if he hadn't had a kennel IDK what I would have done. BOO.

cali and things

I got back yesterday from Elizabeth's wedding in Irvine. Erin, Danielle, Kylee and I shared a room in Costa Mesa and had a really good time. One night we went out in Newport. My friend Chewy even came and met us and went to the bar with us and the SAE boys. The next day Danielle, Kylee and I went to Newport beach again and walked around on the beach, got in the water, went to the pier and I got a corndog :) mmm. I also got a SEVERE sunburn on my shoulders/neck/chest. Oops. It hurts bad now. But the wedding was amazing and I'm really glad I went.

Today I got a book in the mail from SU that I have to read before Aug 20th. Here I come next three years... sigh... I also figured out that I'm going to have over $56k in loans for next year. Boo. But it's whatever. I just hope I'm happy when I graduate :) Anyway. Off to work at Brian's in a few.
