Life Choices
So I had this revelation a few days ago, and it still feels right, so I'm going to share it.
I know what I am going to do with the next ten or so years of my life. Maybe not quite ten. But anyway.
Sunday was the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women. And of course I planned an ALF brown bag. And someone came from the local center and gave a talk. And I was also studying this subject in 2 of my classes (weird). So I was reading my law textbook and I come across this paragraph:
"For the vast majority of battered women, there is no legal counsel available to assist them in obtaining those legal remedies that may exist "on the books."...[F]ew civil service statutes provide for counsel or for counsel fees. Only a few legal services offices handle family law matters or represent battered women, and only a minority of shelters around the country have lawyers that work closely with them. In some cities, pro bono lawyering projects exist. Usually those projects are connected with city bar associations, but can handle only a few cases. They had generally been found to be inadequate."
THERE'S IS A NEED FRIENDS! And I am the one to fill it. I shall go to law school. And then I shall save the world.
Or you know. Try. Give a little helping hand.
Other life choicey stuff I could talk about (my living situation for next year ahhhhhhhhhhhh) but I have to go now friends. I <3 you all.

That may have been the most necessary shower I have ever taken.

Hanucrunk?
Back at Lafayette, how did that happen? Well. I decided if I hung around at home until 3 or something I would not actually get any work done today. So instead I left around 12. And now I'm sitting at my computer writing what seems to be a fairly awful paper. But on the plus side the professor is pretty easy and I think this is actually what she wants.
So I had a pretty awesome week. Aside from the filling which resulted in my gums hurts for three days...And the fact that it is over already. At least there's always Crunkmas, I mean Christmas, to look forward to.
Back into the mines kids. Just keep chipping away.

Princesses
Saw Disney's Enchanted with my family. I am in love with it. It was funny, and happy, and entertaining, and then it was also kind of sad. Because we all do wish fairy tales were real. Or we do sometimes. And we all want our happily ever after and our to know that our true love is true.
I know that sounds lame. Maybe other people have moved beyond wanting a true true love. Wishing he would show that he loved you "How does she know/How does she know that you love her?" Anyway, I recommend the movie, usually when I'm at the theater towards the end I look at my watch and think 'crap, look what time it is' I was totally captivated all the way through. (But it should be noted that I have a simple mind and also that I don't tend to wear a watch these days). Even if you hate Disney you might enjoy the subtle jabs they take at themselves.
Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving by the way. I raked leaves. And made mashed potatoes, and rolls, and sweet potato casserole, and veggies. And saw Enchanted.
What I have not yet done is homework. Sigh. Tomorrow is another day.

SNOW!
Or at least there was snow this morning when I woke up. Carlos asked me if we could have a snow day. Sadly they don't seem to give snow days for 2 millimeters of snow.
On the bright side, I'm coming home tomorrow, and I don't even have any more class. I just have to pack. Which is always a little stressful. Because I know I'm going to forget something. No matter how many times I look around the room, or check off things in my head (clothes, check. toothbrush, check, giant knitting stash, check). But I just need to do a bit more packing, and I'll be home tomorrow by 4 at the latest I think.
Yay. Crunskgiving! Tentative Event Schedule:
Tuesday night: Hanging out with whoever is home!
Wednesday night: Girly shopping time
Thursday night: Sad lonely time for those with no family to wish they could call people and console themselves with pie.
Friday night: Crunksgiving?
Saturday night: Movie Night
I have to be honest though, seeing Carlos might need to get put into that schedule. And when I say might, what I really mean is I am a sad sad girl who needs to see Carlos at least once between Tuesday and Sunday night or I will be awfully hard to live with. Not much of a problem for those of you who don't live with me I guess. But you know.
Anyway. Wednesday girly girly shopping time might move to Wednesday day since M. is going to be home actually...hmm. Right. Going back to packing now. And listening to Christmas music :-D !

Ho Hum
I don't know exactly why today was crappy. Probably my own fault, crappy mood = crappy day.
I guess I've just been realizing how much I still need to do, and how much and simultaneously how little is lest of the semester.
And of course I keep thinking what the hell am I going to do next year. And what am I going to do with my life?
Not to stress anyone else out.
But honestly. I keep feeling like I need to have a plan. I really do need to know what the hell I'm going to do next year with no Carlos, no roomies, essentially no friends. Not to over dramatize the situation. Anyway. I'm going to the gym now. To be tortured by the kick boxing instructor. Then I plan to bake cookies. Which always makes me feel better.

Friends?
You are out there right?
Reading but not commenting. Not that I need comments to continue to spew crap about my life online.
But I like them. :-(
Especially when I don't have time for real communication with people.
