tired.

I am so exhausted.  My AC went out on my top floor last week.  Did I mention that it was in the mid-high 90s all wk last wk??? it was unbearable.  I only went upstairs to get dressed/shower and nothign else.  Ive been sleeping on my sofa for almost a wk now.  Well, yesterday I finally got the AC man to come look at everything and when I woke up this morning, for the first time in a wk, the temperature reader didnt say 88 or 89 degrees, but said 74.  It made me happy.  I think its possible to go upstairs and not even start sweating, etc when I get out of the shower/get dressed/etc. yay. I am so tired and sore from sleeping on the sofa haha hopefully tonight I will get a good night's sleep for once!!!

Also, I got my new macbookpro on Friday because of tax free weekend. it was soooo exciting.  it is so much nicer than my stupid dell.  I sitll need to upload bootcamp/windows on here for law school but I might get on it next wkend.. I lvoe this computer!

I am so excited about our beach trip next weekend.  Im going to the beach with my family next wkend and my aunt's family for my dad's birthday.. I am sooo excited yayy hopefully it will be a fun drama free weekend :)

I have my remedies final coming up this wk! Then I will be done w/ Summer School FOREVER. I cant wait to be doneeeee.  I have so much to study from now until Thursday so I will be non-stop studying from now =until then.  I am still working too.  Hopefully my job will go through the fall semester too, I am doing calendar call and all of my boss' IV-D cases too so at least I will have something to do! I really do love my job and all the experience I am getting so who knows! I cant wait for the fall semester to start! YAY!

also, fyi-- today is 1 year since I decided to go on this weight loss journey.  This time last year, I was at my cousin's son's wedding up in NJ and I just hated how I looked and felt, especially in my saris, etc.  So that was when I decided that I was going to make a change in my life for the better.  I was probs wavering around 209-211 and here I am, 12 months later, and Im now wavering around 154-149 and I am also 4 dress sizes smaller! Who would have ever thought that a size 12 at Ann Taylor/LOFT would be big on me!!?! I have never in my life been this size so it is just so exciting for me.  I still have a good 30-35 lbs I want to lose by January so that means I just have to intensify my diet for the next 4 months.  Hopefully, I can work hard and reach my goal in life.

In other world news-- I also registered for the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon on Feb 27th, 2011.  I am soooo excited. I cannot wait.  I am right now running about 7.3 miles in 50 mins 6-7x a day.  Hopefully I can increase my time to 60 mins once school starts and up my mileage.  I cant wait I am sooooo excited.

ok time to go have a lunch, run, shower, then study until the end of time(or thursday morning).

yay.


loveee manisha :)

Well, it's August...

well, since its officially August now, school is starting in a few wks. I cannot believe that this summer is almost over, its really been amazing.  I really had such an amazing few months, definitely a summer I will never forget.

Here are some of my favorite things about the past 3 months:
Hawaii.
best 7 days of my life. everrrr.



















Working.
best work experience everrrr. I have learned so much and really this summer has confirmed that I want to practice family law once I graduate/become a srs grown up practicing attorney. I just hope I can find a job one day....
School (kinda).
Ive learned at lot about law school this summer taking 2 summer classes.  I know I bitch and complain/whine about these classes but I know that all this hard work this summer is going to be worth it once I start my last year of law school in a few short weeks. 
Amazing friends.
need I say more??! love them!
New friends. 
cant wait for some more dance parties.
The Sun.
the sun has been really good to me this summer. I got an amazing tan when I was in Hawaii and even more amazing in Charleston, despite getting my FIRST sunburn ever (stinging&peeling and all!) but I still have my ooc tan lines from Charleston. Nonetheless, I love that I have this amazing tan and no more white legs hahahah thanks mr. sun! love ya!
My new bathing suits.
Dear Old Navy, thanks for having amazing bathing suits that make me feel skinny and pretty and confident walking around the beach in a bathing suit for the first time in my life. Love always, Manisha P. Patel.


































Champagne.
love it. 
anyways. theres my summer in a nutshell. maybe I'll share the rest of my summer before school starts.
