Today I did something I've never done before. I went to a movie by myself. I ordered popcorn and sat in the back row for 'Just Like Heaven'. It was a really cute movie and I recommend it if you're in a chick flick mood. Two other girls in the theatre were by themselves too and they were both about my age, so I'm not that wierd. Anyway, I felt like it was an independent thing to do (plus I needed a law school break).
Yesterday my new thing was attacking the hornet's nest on my porch. I bought the spray, shot the nest and ran inside praying that none of the angry, poisened stingers followed me. This morning I counted 14 hornet bodies on my porch. Gross. But now I can enjoy my little patio chairs and my new plants.
Latte's new thing for the week was her first haircut. I felt like I was taking my kid to kindergarten when I left her at the groomers. She looks a lot better, much less shaggy.
I finally finished hanging everything on my walls! My walls are looking fabulous and I think I'm officially done decorating. Finally!! This week was really busy and full of school stuff so it's nice to have my apartment completely settled.
Another new thing this week: GILMORE GIRLS!! It was so fabulous. It was like having my friends back in town. I really like knowing that my best buds are watching it at the same time. Even though we can't watch it together, it still helps keep us connected. I miss you guys!! I have to admit that this week was very hard. I felt really lonely and cried several times. I miss having people around who know me and I miss having options for who to hang out with or what to do. Now the options are study or watch tv with Latte. That's about it. And my parents don't think I'm trying hard enough. Apparently there is a magic number of how many friends you should make. They ask me what my strategy is for getting people to hang out with me. It's just not that easy for me. It's not like freshman year at Baylor where you automatically made friends with people on your hall. I don't have that option. It's not like I don't talk to people at school or act friendly. I do! I'm just having trouble transitioning that into "let's go hang out." I know it will get better but I'm ready for a break! I'm jealous of my Texas friends who can drive to see family or friends when they get lonely. Don't worry, I'll be home in 20 days!!!
I have a big paper to write this week and I'm having a hard time focusing. Wish me luck resisting distractions ( :
Cheers: to Brian's awful manager getting fired
Jeers: to memos and contract law
