A YEAR OLDER PHYSICALLY, A YEAR YOUNGER MENTALLY
jesus christ, it's my birthday today but i totally forgot about it because when i woke up, i just reaached over from under my pillow, pulled out my crumpled yellow pad and just continued what i was doing when i fell asleep: reading and making notes for law. i only remembered that today was my birthday when my baby sis went inside the room and kissed me and told me happy birthday.

and ever since that time, i've just bummed around in bed. the yellow pad is on the floor, along with my old crim readings. meg, i think, is looking for her colored pens. cute.

then people started texting me again. maybe birthdays are just "hey-let's-appreciate-and-make-this-person-special" days. right now, it's comforting to know that some people remembered and that some people care. ok, ok, i'll stop before i go weepy and dramatic all over the blog.

ha, actually, the previous paragraph was my pathetic attempt to let people know when my birthday is because i still don't know how to make an info section. but hey, this is all about me. my site. my words. so mark it on your calendars (take out your planners, phones or PDAs): june 29 is jam's birthday.

i watched charlie's angels: full throttle yesterday and it was ok, i guess - not so bad, not so good..but it was fun to watch if you don't want to overwork your brain (and so it becomes a "must watch" for us law school students). kind of disappointed with bernie mac's part though because i was so looking forward to him in the movie. i really find him funny and he cracked me up in the full throttle teasers and trailers. not so with the movie. he was funny but not as funny as i thought he would be in the movie.

i have actually finished reading harry potter and the order of the phoenix in the last few days (or maybe week - i don't really remember because i've also been reading cases for law nonstop. as with the other books in the HP series, it was extremely fun to read. JKR seems to have expanded her target market this time, with a lot of big words included in the text (by big words, of course, i mean words that some kids would need to ask older people about). the pace is much slower though - unlike the other books. the cover and the color scheme of this book is also, IMHO, better than the previous one - i guess i'm just a sucker for blue.

i'm still thinking about making my own website but i still don't have the time to do it and i still don't know how to make one.

bum.

WHEN TIME IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE
harry potter and the order of the phoenix. in. my. hands. hee, if only i can find enough time to stop gloating and actually read the thing.

the book is expensive and i want to read it so much right now but i still have to study. darn, i think i can read every now and then all throughout the week. i hope i survive graded recitation if i do. i just drained my wallet so i don't have enough money to actually spend photocopying all the cases and assignments that i have to read.

maybe next week, i can talk about book 5 and what i think of it.

oh well, back to reading criminal cases.

VACATION BADLY NEEDED
have been reading a lot of stuff the last few days.

my god, law school is no joke. i have spent almost every waking hour studying and reading and studying and reading again. i virtually have no time to do anything else (and yes, that includes eating and going online).

and the funny thing is that when the week ended, it felt more like a semester! my brain felt overworked (obviously, said brain didn't get enough work during college) and my writing hand spasms every now and then. i've also gone through 2 signpens already in those four to six days of studying and i think i'm going to throw up if i see another sheet of yellow pad again (so, by my estimate, i'll be throwing up again in around 13 minutes).

oh well, i guess, i'll get used to it. see y'all around.

WHEN THE FUN STOPS
i may have to just let this blog remain the way it is for a few months. i have to take some time off to adjust to law school. i hope it won't take me long to do so, but i seriously doubt it - just a lot of things going on in my life right now that i can do without.

need time to sleep.need time to study. need time to rest. need to make money. need to find a place to stay. too little little time, so much to do. all i need is time. please, some more time. *sigh*

oh, and money. more of it, please.
