sugar high

my law school is cool... my prof's brought us candy... i took way more notes today than i have been lately... wondering if there's a correlation...
anyone doing anything cool for halloween tonight? we did fun stuff on saturday, and travis is taking me out to this cool thai place tonight for a "dress up date" to celebrate that i finished a 10-pg law paper i've been working on all week. i'm excited. happy halloween! :K (<= a scary halloween face?)

happy, happy, happy...

so, a couple weeks ago i was barely recovering from what may have been borderline depression... but now i'm better...really better...way better...so much more better than i've been in a long time...possibly ever...and i'll give you one guess why... if you didn't guess yet, there's a pretty big clue just to the left...

yeah...in case you missed this, my last post, from mid-last week, semi-announced my new non-single relationship status... it is of course still in that "too soon to tell" stage as far as anything really serious, but just in general i am, as it says in the post title: happy, happy happy! i find myself smiling and giggling and generally acting conspicuously giddy, and it's really great. *sigh* (the good kind) hopefully you won't see any more emo song lyrics on here for a while... ;)

adventures in text messaging...

so, i'm dating this guy. it's great. last night we were negotiating our activities for the evening, by text message, and i accidentally hit the "up" button and responded to the oldest instead of newest message on my phone... oops... so now instead of getting back something that says "great, i'm coming over" like i expect, i get one that says "do i have to?" depressing...but then i realize that it was from someone else *phew* but that made even less sense cuz i didn't even know what this person was talking about... and i was like, hold on, why are you texting me...so i texted back, and it turned out they had deleted me from their phone and didn't even know who i was... wow... so i felt kind of stupid... but then my *boyfriend* came over and everything was better... screw stupid people... i'll do a better job of deleting them from my phone from now on...

nightmares and... daymares?

i had a really bad dream last night. in it my friend and her brother were murdered, and my sister and i went to visit her parents, who are good friends of our family, to tell them how sorry we were, etc. and while we were there they committed suicide (since their kids had died) and we called the police, but had to wait all night at their house until they came the next morning...it was really awful and i woke up pretty upset.

then i went to school, where i was supposed to have a midterm, but i got there to find that it had been postponed due to some allegations of honor-code violations which had perhaps compromised the validity of the exam. i was actually kind of bugged because i was feeling really ready for the exam, and i know i probably won't study anymore, but other people will have more time to now, messing up the curve for me, but oh well... but then i got this email asking me to come see the dean about it! aah! no one else got an email! but it turned out that it was just about this practice exam that i had that the tutors had been handing out that someone thought was an actual exam (an old one, but still...) anyway, turns out the professor already knew about and had approved that one, so no harm-no foul for me (or all the other people who had gotten the same one i did from the tutors), but it did kind of scare me, AND made me late for contracts, where my prof called on me to answer questions as soon as i sat down and i didn't even know what he was talking about! eek! but everything worked out okay, i just had a little more adrenaline going on today from all the nervousness, apprehension, etc.

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

it has been unusually cold in washington this week. this generally wouldn't bother me. i've lived in enough cold, wintery places. however, the thermostat to the furnace in my house stopped working yesterday, and the indoor temperature has been slowly dropping. when i got up this morning it was about 55*F, and i'm a little afraid of how it's going to be when i get home tonight...

money, money, money

found out some good stuff today...
(1) my student loans were deferred (automatically...i didn't even apply for a deferment...)
(2) my car insurance premium went down
(3) and i got my last paycheck from jamba, which was bigger than i expected with bonuses, and a gift card and a cute note...oh yay!
