Ughhh I hate life right now..

Studying for the bar exam is literally sucking the life out of me.. I'm under 4wks away frm the exam and I j feel like I'm not going to make it... Not that I'm doing poorly on the practice essays and mc but my multiple choice work definitely has room for improvement. It's j rly overwhelming that literally my career rests on those 2 days of exam taking..... I've j been in a ridiculous funk this week and I just can't seem to stay on track of my schedule this wk and I can't keep all the law in my head, I.e. If I am doing well on property law, then I'm struggling w torts or contracts. It's ironic that one of my best classes in law school (torts) is one of my most difficult this summer and vice versa...

On top of being in a terrible rut this week, I've been feeling really alone lately. I miss my mom (haven't spent more than 10mins w her since memorial day) and I miss my friends... Living w my sister is rly difficult too. It's like she thinks that j bc I'm staying here w her means we're bffs and have to do everything together (eat, talk, tv, etc) and it's j not how it's supposed to be.. Before I moved here I had a talk w her that I'm not going to be the easiest person to live w this summer and that I'm gunna be stressed out 24/7 And I'm j not going to be a pleasant person to be around and she was like that's fine. And now she gets upset w me when I come back to her house after 10hrs of studying at wfu law and I don't want to "chat" or talk, etc. And then when I eat dinner(I'm on a v strict schedule so i can get enough work done in the day) and she gets mad if I want to watch something dumb like 16&preg or MTV real world road rules challenge ... Idk it's j so frustrating but I guess I can't complain too much bc I'm the one who wanted to study at wake, little did I know or else I would've studied in Gso...I have 2 more weeks of barbri left and then I'll be back at my own house. I can't wait. Butttt that means it'll be abt a wk before I have to go t Raleigh for the bar.. Oh well.

I'm guess im j feeling sad today and lonely. I'm excited though abt the wkend bc I talked to one of my close friends frm law school today and since we have the 4th off (I'm still gunna review a lil that day) so I'm going to meet her at concord mills and do a little outlet shopping and some macados for lunch (it's not Blacksburg but it'll get the job done) w a macados madness.

Anywho here is my sad, depressing life update coming to you frm my supercute iPad.

Ps sorority sister rachel's wedding last weekend was amazing. She looked beyond beautiful and I loved seeing her and Josh(the new hubs) so happy. Love her in my life-def wouldn't have gotten through the past 3yrs of law school wo her in my life!!!,!



Ok goodnight. I'll be in gboro after lecture Tom. We have criminal law tomorrow, or maybe criminal procedure?

Summer 2011= LAMEEEEEEEE

ok this isa quick one--

this summer= lame.

I'm 10lbs down frm my post-sickness weight gain. abt 12ish more to get to my pre-sickness healthy weight. im starting to work out again on a regular basis and im eating better and keeping my food journal again and it's really helped me frm eating endless amounts of laffy taffy or any other kind of candy in stressed/panic moments..(bc lets be real, im having shittons of those lately)

goal deadline for the last 12lbs= august 13 bc.....WE'RE GOING TO MAUI (HAWAII) FOR MY GRADUATION/POST-BAR EXAM TRIP!!!!!!!!!! 6 days, 5 nights in a hawaiian villa in Maui.

I. CANNOT. WAIT.

studying is going ok. i had a headcold all last wk which sucked but its like whatifs now. I'm going about 11-12hrs everyday but im still getting in break time and about 7-8hrs of sleep. id prefer a full 8 everynight but sometimes it j doesnt happen.  im working out/running/kettlebell lifting every other day so that is good too--major destressor.

i miss my friends and talking/seeing them but i j need to get through the next 5 wks. yes, that is right, NC BAR EXAM IN 5 WKS.

commence panic attack.


ok time for a smartones for lunch and diet aw root better then back to it until 630/7. its gunna be a tough day, lot of work but im eating a light lunch so i can reward myself a vegetarian burrito bowl at chipotle for dins (and only 420 calories too!!!!!) and 1/4 cup of haagen das mango sorbet ( ithink 100-or less- cals for 1.4 cup!)! YAYAYAAYAYAYAYAY
