I am too old to have pimples and I am tired of them, too. I want to proactively (get the pun?) do something about it and not be too f-in scared to try something that may make thinks a whole heck of a lot better than they are now. I actually think that’s true for my life in general at the moment, but this is an entry about acne, not general life-ness, so let’s stick to the point. I will make an appointment with the dermotologist and see what the deal is. My mother probably isn’t going to like it, but I’ll have clear skin and she can shove it.

So I found out today (about 13 hours ago actually) that I passed the NY State Bar. I didn’t think this day would ever come, but I am so happy and relieved that it was worth the 3 1/2 month wait. Its such a good feeling that I would recommend 3 years of law school, a summer of bar/bri and then months of waiting just to know what succeeding at this kind of accomplishment feels like.

So its over and done with. Stupid NY Bar Examiners can’t get their asses in gear to let me out of my misery until Thanksgiving. Prayers for a HAPPY Turkey Day are now being accepted.

Ok, so today is supposed to be the last day of studying (test on Tuesday and Wednesday), but I feel like I already forgot everything I studied before like 2 days ago. Ahhhhhhhh! I can only hope that my brain won’t desert me on the exam and that I can pull the stuff out of thin air when I recognize I need it. Good luck to everyone else studying!

I have wanted to find a signature scent for a very long time now. I love the idea that people will associate a particular scent with me and think of me whenever they sniff it elsewhere. I always had such a hard time smelling all the possible perfumes at Sephoria (despite intermittent coffee bean inhales) that I gave up. So, because I could never find the “perfect” scent, I never found any scent. But, my boyfriend recently informed me that I smell like nothing (a clean nothing, but still) to the extent that when I’m gone there is nothing on a pillowcase or t-shirt to remind him of me. This state of affairs is unacceptable and after this bar nonsense is over (see “pass the bar exam”) I am going to make a concerted effort to find a scent even if its not the most perfect one and if I don’t like it after a while, I can change it until I get it right.

I just bought the book and have some free time comimg at me soon, so I think its pretty likely.

I have wanted to go to beauty school since I was a little girl. I would love to learn how to do great manicures/pedicures and cut hair and choose the right make-up. I don’t see any reason why choosing another career should stop me from achieving this goal, too. I just have to figure out how to fit it in (just like everything else).

So I’ve been doing all of this running (see my “be a runner” thing) and I figure, why not show off my legs that I’m working hard to make cute!

One of my favorite book series. Just so light and fluffy like perfect chocolate mousse you’ll be done before you even know it.

Could it BE any longer until the stupid test day arrives? Bar/Bri said I would pay someone (well anyone but Bar/Bri—they’re not getting any more of my stinking money…) to let me take it already and they were right!

Now that I have been running since about May, I want to make sure that it is something that is always a part of my life. It is such a simple way to feel like I am doing something good for my body and mind. I read that if you last 6 months, you will be a runner for life and I hope that’s the case.

I have known and heard about too many people just completely letting themselves be unhealthy and then wondering why they suffer from physical and mental ailments. I do not want that to be me. I want to be healthy for the rest of my life so that I can worry about the really important things like the people I love, the work I do, and the world I live in.
