Exam-state-of-mind
I have an exam on Monday and an exam on Tuesday. Today is Friday (although I just found this out)...and I have already lost all ability to function.I have not been able to type properly or in coherent sentences for days. (This one took me F"OUR tries.)
Yesterday, I found myself writing letters to myself on a notepad because I bought pretty new pens. I love bright colors. Now I have "Laura B. loves her new pens" written over 25 times in bright colors sitting next to me.
I got in a fight with a bug yesterday. (An actual crawly bug.) He crawled a wee bit too close to my coffee. Curse words were yelled.
I woke up in the middle of the night, TV on, VCR still playing. I apparently cannot tell reality from non-reality because when I heard Alex yell "quick, get Dr. Montgomery-Shepard!" I ran out of bed to go get her.
I have been in my pajamas for five straight days. Granted, I have showered here and there. Then, put my pajamas back on.
Normal cycle: shampoo, rinse, condition, rinse. Yesterday's cycle: shampoo, rinse, shampoo, rinse, shampoo, wait, what the hell am I doing?
I mailed off my bar exam application/character and fitness questionnaire yesterday. Somewhat anti-climactic considering that as I was walking home flipping through the copy I made for myself...I realized I did something very wrong. Today, I will have to call the VA Bd. of Bar Examiners, then likely have to send a notarized update/correction.
Yesterday, my roomie approached me with "hey, I don't mean to bother you while you are on the phone"...to which I replied "oh, I'm not on the phone. I'm just having very loud conversations with myself." And I was.
I get really annoyed when I get to the bottom of a box of cereal and there is not enough for a bowl...yet too much to just throw away. This has happened a few times lately. To remedy the situation (and so as not to waste) I just indulged in a bowl of Honey Nut Chex/Special K Strawberry/Shredded Mini-Wheats. Yum.
UPDATE: If you make yourself a fresh cup of coffee at 10:30 on a Saturday night, then settle back into the same seat you have been for seven days...you should make sure to first remove the other coffee mugs that have accumulated in your sacred work space...lest you accidentally get a really nasty jolt of cold ?-day-old coffee.

I am resourceful
Pretty strained right now trying to wrap up this insanely detailed character and fitness questionnaire by the end of today (not to mention two exams and a paper coming up).Yeah, and I thought listing all of my places of residence would be difficult.
I also have to disclose any traffic violations. Considering I had to get official driving records from every state I ever held a license, you would think that the traffic violation part wouldn't be hard. Um, except that my first ever speeding ticket was a long time ago and is no longer listed on any record. I was advised that even if it is not listed, I need to disclose as much information as I can about the incident including: location, date, etc.
Here is a testament to how my resourceful little brain works step-by-step:
I got the ticket driving down the boulevard in my neighborhood when I was a youngin'...
I recall having an argument with the policeman because he kept accusing me of speeding to deliver pizza on time...
I explained to the policeman that while I was in a pizza restaurant uniform with a box of pizza beside me, I merely worked there and was not delivering...
Hmm, okay, when did I work at the pizza place?...
I know it was sometime during high school because I was dating high school boyfriend at the time...
HS boyfriend used to show up and bother me at work...
Oh yeah, there was that one time he showed up and made me cry and my cute co-worker named Philip made him leave...
Yeah, I remember Philip. He was the first (and thankfully only) person I ever knew to commit suicide...
I wrote a poem about Philip when he killed himself...
I used to write dates on all of my poems...
[digs through old file folder of childhood poetry]
And that, my friends, is how I figured out the approximate date of my first "traffic violation" for disclosure on my Bar application.

Wednesday Ramblings - LIVEish
Oh Sangria, how you hurt me.Miss M got the funniest book EVER for her birthday. And I will never eat brown mushrooms again.
Bug, I finally found your $20. If you can remember my name you can have it back. I have no problem remembering your name since you wrote it across my arm.
Someone take my phone away from me when I drink. Please.
This guy is not very nice.
Neither was the Penguins fan who spent the better half of his evening searching endlessly for his precious hat. Good job Marci.
Thanks for the ride home Mr. Smooth:-)
11am UPDATE:
Is anyone else having trouble with Gmail?
I left my power cord for my laptop at home. Today is going to suck!
noonish UPDATE:
I am using a computer in an office at school which does not have Mozilla. WOW, my blog looks like crap in Microsoft Internet Explorer. There are no line breaks. Yuck.
1pm UPDATE
I am soooo tired. I ran out of coffee and did not have the foresight to order more far enough ahead of time. This is my second day without my coffee. My new coffee will not be here for two more days. I am dying.
