mmm, paper.

wow. i was posting an entry on a livejournal community i'm on, and realised that i had posted it to the wrong community. i deleted the entry, and when the screen told me that the entry was indeed deleted, it showed the funniest little animated image:



i guess that's one way to delete my lj entry...

her hollow eyes now give you anything

my blog sure has been cracked out lately. there haven't been very many long entries where i rant about things...just more like quick spur-of-the-moment things...web links, law school updates, me popping off at the mouth about stuff i maybe should say, maybe not. oh well, it's my blog, and it's as mercurial as i am. (or, at least as mercurial as my whims to post on the internet are.)

it's also a little contingent on trial team. i don't have it today...but i had practice for five straight days. more time doing trial = less time blogging. case changes came out yesterday...after four days of intensively shoring up the case, there were a few of the facts in case "clarifications" that threw a wrench in our shiny theories and expert directs. back to the drawing board, i guess. we still have a month...but we've gotten such a handle on all the crazy facts of the case, we're all willing to work hard, and we've got the judge and some experienced attorneys to bounce stuff off of, run things in front of. case changes be darned, i think we're going to be in a good place come regionals. only a month until then...regionals are the first weekend of march, so we've got four and a half weeks to keep working on things until they're competition-ready.

i have my public defender interview tomorrow. i'm nervous. i'm not nervous about what they're going to ask me. i'm nervous that i'm going to be sick as a dog. i was sick at the beginning of last week, i had a sore throat, and then it went away. i was a little run down, but fine, for the next couple days. yesterday night i started going downhill...and today i've been awful. it's probably a cold...the symptoms are consistent with allergies as well, but first of all it's january, and second of all i'm not actually prone to allergies. i've been sniffling and sneezing, and half-asleep all day, and i feel like i'm in a fuzz. i really need to get a ton of sleep and pray that i feel better tomorrow, pray that i feel up to spending 20 minutes on my a-game, trying to convince the missouri public defender that they want to hire me.

i'm finally almost current on civil procedure...i had let myself get so behind in that class, but i've spent all afternoon after my meetings doing reading, and now i have four more pages to read once i've done this blog entry, and that's it. that'll be done before my meeting at 3, the career services thing about how to do a twenty minute interview. who knows how helpful it'll be, because it's career services, but i guess it won't hurt, right?

well...time to try and finish my civil procedure and listen to more bad music (i'm listening to eminem...::hides face::) before going to that meeting. i'm so worn out, but i still have to read crim law and con law for tomorrow, too. maybe i'll go home and read it, i really want to, but i know it's never going to get done if i don't do it at school. sigh.
