Stuff

American? It was an interesting reception, and one that made me more at ease if I end up going out there. 

And it seems like I should. As far as schools I've gotten into and will get into, American is the best by far with opportunity, rank, prestige, and even location to a certain extent. As much as I'd like to be back in California, particularly Silicon Valley, I know that I'll be back when I'm done with school in some way or form.

Done with another quarter, and now one more to go. I don't know how I feel about graduation. To be honest, I've just been way too tired these days, sort of living in a haze because it's hard to sleep. I'm not entirely sure why, but that's the way it is, and I wish I could make it stop. Im going to the doctor tomorrow to try and get some good sleeping medicine.

NCAA Final Four

Congratulations to the referees calling the LSU-Stanford game. They certainly won the game. 

If you don't know what I'm talking about, I won't bother explaining to you. 

Fuck refs, fuck east coast bias, and I hope LSU rots in hell in the Final Four. 

Screw WoW

Well, not really. While, I'm still playing it, my currently love is Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. That is such a beautiful 360 game, it's aboslutley amazing that they fit every thing into it. I wasn't in the gaming mood earlier, but I think I've talked myself into it. 

As for now, I just finished a paper for my last final of this quarter. 

American sent me my finaid, and it doesn't even cover half of what I'm supposed to pay for that school, so I guess I'm gonna have to get a lot of private loans or something similar. *sigh*

More to come I'm sure, as I'm going to an American reception tomorrow.

Back Home

Well, I quickly finished my Comm final this morning and quickly packed in the pouring rain and proceeded to drive home for in sex straight hours of torrential horrid rain. It was pretty fun for the most part, except for the half hour I couldn't see any thing out of my windshield because it was pouring so hard. But scariness aside, it wasn't too bad. 

Things are alright here, I'm pretty set up except for my cheapass 360 component cable that decided to break somewhere between transportation, so I gotta pick that up tomorrow. 

My grandma seems alright (she has cancer but is fighting it). I'm gonna help take her to the doctor tomorrow and help out with the family. 

And I'm playing WoW (yet again). I'm crazy.

Exam Times Yet Again

I've done this long enough to say without a doubt that I'm quite tired of exam week. Granted, I probably shouldn't be saying this knowing that I'm going to continue schooling for three more years, but I'm hoping the exams of law school will offer a bit more variety and maybe more incentive to actually study. Eh, we'll see. 

I managed to acquire a MacBook Pro for a little while, and I have to say I absolutely love it. It's Apple's finest laptop yet, and every thing about it so far has been fabulous (except for its tendency to disconnect from my specific Airport, might be because its an old first gen). I know I'm going to pick up one of these when I get fired from my campus rep job when I graduate. 

I should study, and I know I will do enough to get by for exams, but I don't have much of a drive to really do some reading. I'm just really, really tired for some reason, and I've been so for a long time. It's hard to get any deep sleep, even with sleeping medication, so I'm not sure what to do.

This is dead week?

Wtf, is all I have to say about that. I've had all my classes this week as well as well as several papers and presentations for my various courses. I really think they should stop calling it dead week, because the simple answer is we don't have time any more to study, except for the weekends. 

Alas, I don't know why I'm even complaining since I don't really study in my courses to begin with. Y'all that know me know that I have the belief that if I show up to class and do the reading then I'll do alright. In fact, it's sort of been that I don't even have to do the reading as of late and still do okay, but that's something that's definitely going to have to change once law school hits. 

Currently waiting on my boss from Apple to show up so the campus reps and I can have a nice lunch meeting and discuss whatever the heck we're going to discuss. Then it's more class for me, yay :p

And I'm addicted to WoW again... damn WoW

American University

There's something to be said about the idea of traveling across the nation to a unviersity at Washington DC. I've always wanted tog o, but I knew that because of money and travel issues, it was probably something that would have to be undertaken on my time.

Well, it would appear that it's my time now. American offers a great international law program and is the first in the nation in trial advocacy. While I have no intention of being a superior trial lawyer, the international law program does appeal to me somewhat. My goal is IP Corporate, but if I can incorporate some aspects of international law in there, then perhaps I can do these things across the world instead of just only in America. 

However, like most of problems in this situation, it's the distance that I'm afraid of the most. I've never lived further than 350 miles from home due to Stanford, but if I go here then I'll  be across the nation, which seems a little scary. 

My goal is to go to the best school possible for me that I'm admitted to, and it seems like so far American is that school, but a decision still has to be made.

The Law School Issue

So, while I should be showering right now, instead of I'm eating cereal and watching X-Files. I'll get to it when I'm done here, but I figured I'd answer a few questions that haven't been answered from the last time this blog was working correctly. 

Law schools that I've gotten into: 
Western New England College of Law
University of the Pacific
American University

Schools I've been rejected from: 
Georgetown University
UC Davis
George Mason

Schools I've yet to hear from:
Stanford University
Harvard University
University of Richmond
Santa Clara University

All signs look like I'm heading to American, in Washington DC. It seems like a good school in an interested location I'd be curious to learn about. While I wish I could get into  Harvard or Stanford, I know that's probably not going to happen. Oh well. 

Back From The Dead (Posted 2/23 on iWeb)

Wow, I can’t believe I’m once again back in the whole blogging scene. I’m trying something new this time, moving away from the usual Blogger and Moveable type and trying out this iWeb stuff. Since I am a Campus Rep I’d like to see just how easy Apple’s made it to blog using this program.

In any effect, here I am in the Coffee House at Stanford being bored and working on this web page. You would think that with less than half of the quarter left, things would be winding down, but oh no it hasn’t been. I have a midterm due tomorrow and I’m going to be working over time at the bookstore for Apple cause it’s Parents’ Weekend. Fun times.

Let’s see if I can get you all caught up to speed. Last quarter I ended up with a 3.4 which boosted my GPA a little bit. I’ve gotten into three of the five law schools that I’ve gotten replies back so far, and I’m currently waiting on 5 more. Classes I’m taking this quarter... Gender and Sexuality in Early Christianity, Digital Journalism, and Media, Society and Technology. Got the first two today, so we’ll see how that goes.

I hope to blog more, but iWeb kinda sucks in some regards, but we’ll see!
