Surprises

So today I worked and then there was supposed to be a work party afterward. Last year my co-workers threw me a surprise birthday party, so I figured since the party was a few days after my birthday there would probably be a card or something for me. Normally everyone gets a card signed by all the employees (since there' s only 5 of us). Well I showed up and it turns out it was a graduation party. I love my co-workers. I'm going to miss them all so much when I move away. They really are more like friends and family than people I work with. Sure, I'm not as close with some of them, but others are great. I really think of Kellen as a big brother, well kind of. We jokingly flirt a lot but nothing would ever come of it since he's married. Bonnie has been more like my substitute mom in Tucson than anything else; I even get frustrated and angry with her like a mom. May is like the crazy aunt I see every month or so and Chuck, her husband, is like the nice uncle that tries his hardest to relate even though we don't have a ton in common. Though I had a decent birthday weekend, I don't think it would have been as wonderful without the party. Kellen even brought me the most delicious cake I've ever had from his father-in-law's bakery. I appreciate them all so much :)

I just haven't had time

to write. I've been so busy and sick. I have spent most of the month of April recovering from a severe cold and pink eye. Let me tell you, it has made my last month of school super fun, including many nights of falling asleep at 8 PM, not going out, and watching more movies then I thought I could in a week. I also have succeeded in writing 3 papers in the month April. One was on the Puget Sound (and I did a presentation on it), one was on Hamas and Palestine and the national security threat they pose, and the last was on Loving v. Virginia and the potential for social change being created by the court system. Let me tell you, it was a good month. Now I have a few days to catch up on reading. I have a final on Tuesday. Then I have a take home final and another on May 9th. I cannot believe I'm almost done.

Here are the final results for the law schools:
1) Roger Williams - Accepted and withdrawn
2) Valparaiso - Accepted and withdrawn
3) University of Oregon - Waitlisted and withdrawn
4) University of Arizona - Waitlisted and withdrawn
5) Seton Hall - Accepted and withdrawn
6) Rutgers @ Newark - Deferred, waitlisted, and I think I'm sticking on this waitlist just to see what happens
7) William & Mary - Waitlisted. I don't know how this happened. I full expected a rejection letter. I'm staying on their wait list and will seriously consider attending if I get an acceptance in the next month.
8) Seattle University - Accepted & most likely attending

I mailed my deposit out to Seattle in the middle of April. A week ago I got a letter that really freaked me out telling me I was officially a student at their school and had a seat held for me.

I should be finishing a study guide but I'm just not focused enough to do so, so I guess I might go to bed and watch a movie because I have to work tomorrow and then go to a work party.

I hope to start writing again more once school is done. This summer will definitely be a roller coaster.

There are good people

It makes me smile.

Sick

I hate being sick. I just want to be better. I wish my ear would stop hurting. That's all for now.
