Is having a Wild Wild Party.


:)

It happened.

I am ashamed of it.

I can't believe it.

There must be something wrong with me.

I am reading the twilight series.

I decided I needed a light summer read and my friend dropped all four books on me. I don't care about vampires, or werewolves, or anything in the Science Fiction section for that matter.

I started reading the first book and, surprise, I hated it. It took me a week to get through the first 100 pages. Then, once I started getting in to the book, it took me less than 24 hours to read the next 400. Low and behold, I am now 100 pages away from the end of the second book.

Do I think they are good books? Meh. But its like watching a reality TV show. Even if it isn't the most captivating piece of media, it's impossible to turn it off. What happens? Who ends up with who? I am much to nosy to bail out now.

So two more books to go. How did I come to this?

Oy.

Blatant Truth.

Wild Party!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I will be performing in a community theatre production of The Wild Party! I am so excited to be party of the theatre scene once again. I've missed theatre people, parties, rehearsals and performing (of course).

Being in a production is the perfect law school sabbatical.

In other news:

New work out/diet regimen is working well. Six pounds down and, ideally, twenty-nine to go!

Goodbye 1L, Hello 2L

Well I did it. I finished my first year of law school. I've learned a lot in the past ten months and, in a true "Dea" fashion, I've created a list of the important things.

1. Just because you are "smart" in undergrad doesn't mean you are "smart" in law school. This was rough. I was always in the very top of my class and that is certainly no longer the case. After the grades from last semester, I was ready to pack my stuff and head back to NM. My grades weren't horrible, but unexpected to say the least. Who knows how I did this semester. Frankly, I wish they wouldn't send grades out until we started school in August.

2. When you sit for 90% of the day, you will get fatter. Granted this seems like common sense, but man oh man did that creep up on me. I was a serious victim of "The Blaw School 15". I need to buy one of these for the rest of law school:


3. Climbing up rocks is unreasonably fun. Going out side to climb up some rocks should not be amusing in the slightest. This is what Neanderthals did in order to get to the other side of a mountain, or run for dear life. Why is this such an amusing hobby?

4. I am nothing with out my friends. This doesn't need an explanation. Just a blatant fact.

5. New Mexico isn't that bad. When I was there, most of NM seemed like a garbage dump in hell. After coming back for short visits, I realized that the culture, the food, and the people (most of them) makes New Mexico awesome. I am actually considering getting a Zia tattoo.

6. I have come to realize and accept some things about myself that simply won't change. I know this is vague, but it will make sense soon enough.

Week Win

What an awesome week.

Won an iPad.
Won a weekend cabin stay in Estes Park.
Top four oralists in my class.
Massive dent in outlining.
3 Job interviews (and hopefully a job.)

No complaining on le bloggio this week :)

On the other hand, I am auditioning for Wild Party on May 1st. (In the middle of finals... gooood Shandea.) I don't particularlly expect to get a part, but I am kind of at a loss for what I should audition with. I need one ballad and one up-tempo. (ahem - suggestions please!) The last show I did was Greek Row (not counting Jess' awesome Cabaret.) Now, more than ever, I feel like I am having severe theater withdrawals.

I am plucking out any theater related events I can find. This includes actually enjoying oral arguments. Its like a 15 minute painful monologue where judges get to throw unanswerable questions at you. It's AWESOME.

I will be getting a sufficient dose of theater in the next couple of weeks though. Cabaret tomorrow, In the Heights in a week or so.

Very Excite!

Yippy Skippy!

I blog?

Uh... Scoops. I apparently haven't updated this thing in forever.

I promise to be more diligent in updating. :)

**Edit : thank you to Jamesy for finding the clear and obvious mistake. Everyone knows how much I love civil procedure and hate cabins.
