| Ran into Nikki today. Miss her. |

| The march was awesome, but I think I wore myself to the point of exhaustion. All of a sudden I woke up today with a cold. My head is pressure-y and hurts from the sunburn, my nose won't stop running, and my throat hurts. I feel like total shit. My last LSAT test went horribly today; so much for getting an indication of how well I might do on the real thing. Also, I'm totally lost for a topic for my English paper, and it probably doesn't help that I skipped class today to come back here and sleep. I've got 3 papers due in the next 7 days, and then 3 exams in the 10 days following that. Better get all the sleep I can tonight, cause after that its going to be tough. If anyone wants to give me a paper on Herrick, Herbert, Milton, Donne, or Jonson, I'd be all too happy to take it. |

| [6:12 pm] Those months. I should delete them. And then I should take the hard copies I have and burn them. They're like poison. They'll poison me. I won't go back. |

| [2:15am] The 9th of February was bullshit. For the record. But on a different note, I used to have some promise as a writer. What happened? |

| My mom's annual spring classes visit went quite well. We had a good time, and I think she enjoyed my classes. Been going to the gym this week, but too tired to do the whole half hour at 72 rpm. Which is quite disappointing and slightly disturbing. I don't know why my athletic ability fluctuates with such severity and frequency. And my heart rate seems to be back up where it was before I started WW. Plus there is the fear that I'm going to regress more this summer when I'm no longer 5 minutes from a really nice gym. {{Sigh.}} Worst of all, there is cookie dough calling to me right now from the fridge. |

As for why my space bar wasn't working, I guess it was just the humidity because it's better now.
I'm really torn over the matter of this LSAT class that I'm taking. So I have seen a marginal increase in my score from test to test, but I'm still 9 points away from where ideally I'd like to be. And its annoying because I realize that if I was able to have more time to do LSAT work and whatnot, I'm sure I'd be closer. But the problem is they just assign a ridiculously unreasonable amount of work for the average college student to be able to do and not die. In my opinion. But will it help me to do it later? When I'm not reinforcing it continually with homework, prepwork, and classes? I don't know. It's frustrating, because it would really suck to decide I want to go to law school, and then not be able to go anywhere I want to because of my LSAT scores. Grrr. Perhaps I should go outside and let the beautiful day cheer me up. |
Music: Dido - Sand in My Shoes (This song rocks. Download it now.) Some lyrics for you below, they're pretty good, but its the rhythms with which she sings them that makes it so great. Two weeks away it feels like the whole world should've changed But I'm home now And things still look the same I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack Try to forget for one more night That I'm back in my flat on the road Where the cars never stop going through the night To a life where I can't watch the sunset I don't have time I don't have time [Chorus:] I've still got sand in my shoes And I can't shake the thought of you I should get on, forget you But why would I want to I know we said goodbye Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity Should run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here Try to remind myself that I was happy here Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away From the road where the cars never stop going through the night To a life where I can watch the sunset and take my time, Take all our time [Chorus] I wanna see you again Two weeks away, all it takes to change and turn me around I've fallen I walked away and never said that I wanted to see you again [Chorus] I wanna see you again I wanna see you again |

Apparently I am not the only child in the Mandel household who has an online journal. And apparently, (as I already knew but forget how much), there is so much about that child I don't know. The spacebar on my keyboard is not working properly. God dammit. This is so annoying I just bought this keyboard from dell less than a year ago. I don't know what would make it spontaneously sticky like this. Maybe humidity? Either way it is frustrating. There are some things I should really do - like declare politics. Writing that draft yesterday made me accutely aware of how unfit I am to write a thesis. Guess I will just have to graduate without honors. Blub blub. Reminds me, had a terrible test tonight in LSAT. Didn't realize we were having a test, and was therefore totally mentally unprepared to take it. Man, if I can't get my score up I don't know what I'm gonna do. I now sort of have my heart set on law school, but if I can't get into a good one, its sort of not worth doing. And thats all pretty freakin dependent on my score on the LSATs. Grrr. Depressing. |

| Nicole Piecoro I Love YOU!!!! You just made my day. I had actually begun to believe that I didn't need to hear things like that anymore. But it's always best when you're not expecting it. Thank you for making me feel good. Now, I'm getting into bed with Johnny Depp. Yeeha. (PS - Keith is hot! Ok, just had to add that in there!) |

| The colors for this month are very blah. I'll get to work on that soon. Promise. But today I have 12 pages of paper to write by tomorrow on the FARC. Apparently I was unaware that the deadline for my rough draft for conflict is due tomorrow. Go me. I've got 3 1/2 so far, and if I can get 12 more that will make a decent sized rough draft. The actual paper is supposed to be 20-25, but for a draft 15 should be good enough. I'll just tell her I've got more sources to beef it up. Anyway, enough time wasting for now. |
| Now I may have gone to the other extreme...too bright? |
| I find it amusing that the APDA website manages to get the election results up 2 days after elections happen, and yet it takes weeks or even months for tournament results to be posted. Even those of nats. Well done kids. |
| That's much better. So now that there is nothing more to waste time on, back to my very, very, rough draft for conflict. |

I know, I know. More stupid quizzes. There are many of you who are not fans. But I can't help it. Blame Greg Jennings, I got them from his LJ. |

| I know...my country map is kind of pathetic. Especially since I chose to include North America. But I'm working on it, alright?? And no more quizzes for several days. I promise. |
| Apparently it's not just people you don't know...eh? |

good/funny/interesting moments of this nats: - 2nd round. nothing like a straight up ass kicking. - partying in a weselyan room: - "who's been smoking the ganj?" - Korn, "nobody" - an extremely stoned Will with bloodshot eyes - jumping on the bed to get drunker with sarah. (note to self: never do this again.) - emmanuel, specian, dennis and I discussing the hotness of a random girl's ass. - me telling the girl that we all liked her ass in those pants. - dennis not remembering he discussed said girl's ass the next morning. - 4th round. goodness all around. I like those Bates kids. - the car ride back after 6th round, meeting burt reynolds in a wawa, and finally finding the hotel again. - seeing neil get a million shoutouts in senior speeches. he deserved every one. - watching a person who will remain nameless wander around the 6th floor naked. - getting quasi-humped by an extremely drunk rob. - having Will tell me he can recite parts of this journal. - knowing my back is gotten. - going 4-2. I know eric wanted to break, and so did I, but I can't go around moping about it forever. besides, 4-2 is pretty darn good for nats. so there. |
