thanks for making me a fighter
I'm listening to Back to Black by Amy Winehouse right now because I'm going back to my black place too. It's week 10, 4 more weeks until finals. I don't know if I've already mentioned this but people have seriously lost their fucking minds. There must be something in the air because it's everyone everywhere. This is a conversation I recently had with my sister, you tell me who's the crazy one.
Background info: she posted on my facebook that she had something to tell me, we later had this subsequent phone convo, more or less..
Me: What up?
Sis: Blah blah blah....I have an interview tomorrow...
Me: What are you going to wear?
Sis: "A silk shirt or something" (Napoleon Dynamite). It's like 102 here...blah blah blah
Me: Aren't you gonna be hot in silk?
Sis (screaming): IM GOING TO BE HOT IF I WEAR COTTON, A TANK TOP WHATEVER, IM GOING TO BE HOT.
Me: What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you screaming?
Sis: Because its going to be hot.
Me: Smalltalksmalltalksmalltalk
Sis:Smalltalksmalltalksmalltalk
Me: Ok (psycho) blah blah...so what was it you had to tell me?
Sis (screaming): OMG YOU DON"T LISTEN TO ME, YOU"RE NOT HAPPY FOR ME, I HATE MY LIFE, YOU HATE ME, I ALREADY TOLD YOU
Me: Told me what?
Sis: THE INTERVIEW IS WHAT I HAD TO TELL YOU OMG YOU ARE CRAZY OMG LAW SCHOOL HAS MADE YOU CRAZY YOU"RE CRAZY YOU"RE NOT HAPPY FOR ME
Me: If you wanted to refer to the facebook post you should've said "I have an interview tomorrow, that's what I wanted to tell you on facebook."
Sis: NO THAT OBVIOUSLY THE INTERVIEW IS WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO WHEN YOU CALLED ME. YOU DON"T CARE ABOUT ME, YOU KNOW I HAVE BEEN APPLYING FOR JOBS, YOU'RE CRAZY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I would also like to add that I think she should have began the conversation by referring back to the facebook post. She's the unhinged one right? Yeah that's what I thought. Anyway friends and family think I'm up here having a hunky-dory time participating in the "college experience." Another thing that people don't seem to fucking get is that there are extreme differences in experience, education and life between
undergrad-grad school-med school-business school-law school-doctoral school
There's not fucking correlation besides they're all learning institutions. The experience from undergrad is NOTHING compared to law school or any other school for that matter. And I get that if you aren't here you can't fully understand and I can't fully describe it if you aren't experiencing it as well and can really relate. BUT believe me when I tell you, even from a dramatic exaggerator like me, this shit ain't no fuckin picnic. I can't even convey how many times my classmates have complained about similar situations with their friends or family. Some of my fave quotes from friends/family:"Omg, I had to do so much reading today in grad school." "Are you having fun up there?" "You get your nails done you must be doing ok" "You went to the movies, you can't really be studying as much as you say you are" "God forbid anyone bother you while the rest of us are suffering"
I don't know what else I can do other than have MTV follow me around (unscripted) for viewers to feast their eyes on my cRaZy law school shannigan's that I get into. Good lawd almighty.
Did I mention 4 weeks left til finals? Speaking of MTV, I was watching Laguna Beach Season 2 finale today before the lib and they were all leaving each other to go to college, etc. etc. and I started to get misty eyed and emotional. I don't know why the hell that set me off but it did. It's really sad.
Good news: 90 minutes of Project Runway this season
Bad news: I don't have cable
It's late, I'm hungry, I have to go back to the lib tomorrow and stalk a professor for information so I have a pretty full day tomorrow. So goodnite lovers <3
