LSAT results

06.30.03

Well, the fateful day is here and I had my destiny handed to me on a silver platter. I got a 160 on the LSAT, which places me in the 83rd percentile and hopefully gets me admission to a law school of my choice. When I took it, I told myself I needed a 160 or better to be satisfied, but I'm not exactly satisfied now that I have it. I chalk it up to me expecting too much from myself. I'm considering re-taking it, but not as seriously as I would be if I'd gotten a lower score. If I'd gotten a 162, I'd be very happy, and I'm not sure if 2 points is reason to retake it. My GPA is high, so I don't have to worry about overcompensating for anything in that area.

I've been neglecting the site...the "I'm in Love" section still has purple graphics in it from the last layout, and I haven't added anything until recently. I don't think I mentioned before that I added a list of the CDs I own, it's under the "Reasons to Love Me" link. Like most things on this site, it's more for my reference than it is for public consumption, but I figure someone might get a kick out of seeing how many boyband CDs I own. I also added an opinion for Jaqueline Carey's Kushiel trilogy, which is by far the best thing I've read all year.

Interesting site

06.27.03

I haven't found many websites that I think are really cool, but this one caught my eye. If you're a voracious reader like I am, you'll probably find it useful too. It creates maps of authors that you might like when you type in the name of another author you like. It does the same for movies, and it looks like they're trying to collect information to create maps for music artists. Check it out...

I wanna sit down

06.22.03

Well, some countdowns are ending. My birthday happily came and went, leaving me one Buffy season 4 DVD set richer. Harry Potter arrived in my hands, and 300 pages of it have already been read. I'm still waiting for those goddamn LSAT scores, they come a week from tomorrow (Monday).

Dingos have been eating my comments. Stupid dingos.

I met this guy once. He told me I'd never seen anything like him before. I hate to burst his bubble, but I think I have. In movies where people die horrid, bloody deaths.

Finding Nemo is my new favorite movie to quote. It was hilarious, I highly recommend it. At least I think I do. I can't remember, actually. What was I talking about? (If you're not laughing, you haven't seen it)

I'm so not a flirt

06.19.03

Today I was walking through the mall past all the island kiosks they have down the center of the hallway, not really paying attention to what was going on around either side of me. As I'm passing one that sells lotions, the guy working there steps out in front of me and offers me some lotion to try. He was hot, and I briefly debated saying, "Only if you're going to rub it in for me." Then I realized that if I tried to say that, I would end up laughing and not being able to keep a straight face before I even was through the entire sentence, so I just politely declined and walked away laughing.

I guess that's why I'm not much of a flirt...I think it's so utterly ridiculeous. I was reading an article in Cosmo tonight about how to flirt, and some of the things they suggested were like, "Keep eye contact with a guy for five seconds. Then seductively bite the corner of your lips and look down."

Yeah, that's probably EXACTLY why guys think I'm unapproachable. I don't make a fool out of myself with silly gestures and pickup lines. So if you see me somewhere and think I'm cold and reserved, trust me, I'm a nice person. I just like laughing WITH myself, not AT myself.

Mindless summer

06.18.03

I really do feel like my summer has been mindless and boring. I go to work each day at the law firm, I eat, I sleep. I don't feel like I'm ACCOPLISHING anything, even though the work I'm doing now is ten times more satisfying than what I did at Limited Too and Victoria's Secret. I've decided several things about law: I don't want to work in a small law firm (we have two lawyers, two paralegals, and three women who work in the Title company that the owner of the law firm also owns). I don't want to do estate planning (dealing with peoples' trusts and wills and what's going to happen to their stuff when they die is rather morbid and not very fun). I wanna work in a law firm that has hot lawyer men (there isn't a single man at this law firm).

Birthday (and Harry Potter) countdown: 3 days
LSAT score countdown: 12 days

I really don't remember having my stomach this tied up in knots over my SAT score. Probably because A) it was a breeze and B) I wasn't planning anything ambitious for undergrad school or planning on moving across the country for it. This is really, really freaking me out though, if there's anything that occupies my mind these days, it's the scores. So sorry to all you boys who hope that you're running through my head, it's the LSAT that has my heart right now.

RR is evil

06.15.03

Road Runner can burn in hell, as far as I'm concerned. I've been two days without the internet, and the oh-so-helpful representatives are telling us they won't be able to come look at it until Tuesday or Wednesday. Take note: today is Sunday.

Road Runner is incapable of making it through a storm without crashing. And this time, when everyone else's came back on after the storm, ours didn't. Lovely, eh? I'm HOPING it will magically pop on sometime before Tuesday and make me a happy girl.

I'm on dial-up now, but I probably won't use it long enough to have long, meaningful conversations on Trillian/AIM.

Two days until RR comes back. Fifteen days until I get my LSAT score. 6 days until my birthday. All I seem to do these days is count down.

Don't argue...

06.08.03

You'd think people would learn not to argue with me. The other night at dinner, my mom got a bottle of French dressing out of the fridge for me. The conversation that followed went like this:

Me: "This doesn't look right, it's all watery."
Mom: "Shake it up, you have to shake all salad dressings before you use them."
Me (shaking away): "It doesn't look like that did anything."
Mom: "Oh, stop complaining, I'll get you another kind of dressing if you don't want that one."
Me (opening bottle and smelling it): "It smells pretty rancid too."
Mom: "Give it to me, I'll put it back."
Me (upon noticing the expiration date): "Mom, this dressing expired three years ago."

What's the lesson? I'm always...(fill in, I know at least some of you know this mantra like the back of your hand).

I feel old...

06.05.03

I've been going to bed early, waking up early, and going to work at an office every day the past two weeks. I feel so OLD! Thank heavens I still have four years of school left before I have to start doing this permanently. Just my luck, law school classes will start at 8 in the morning.

Speaking of law school, I take my LSATs on Monday. My future rests on this stupid test, I'm not liking the idea of that very much. *sighs*

Anime chicks

06.01.03

Why do people look so normal with blue and green hair in video games? I know that if I tried to copy the looks of KOS-MOS from Xenosaga, I'd never look as spectacularly cool as her. I'd just be known as that freak with blue hair and red eyes.

I'm liking these summer days where I can average a book a day. The librarians must know me by sight by now.
