A few random thoughts

So, I have a few things going on in my life right now. Some positive, some negative. If we break them down:

Positive:
1) I've started on the South Beach Diet. It's actually not that bad. You can actually eat some carbs unlike other protein emphasized diets. I'm finding I'm eating a lot of eggs, cheese, nuts, and salad. We'll see how it goes... I'm not allowed to have french fries so that might be my breaking point.

2) I've been definitely exercising more regularly and using the gym in my building. Always a good thing....

3) Courtesy of my brother, I got a superneato iSight camera that works with the iChat. Problem is, no one else I know besides my brother has the capability to video chat with me. Although, apparently I can do one-way video chat. The person can see me, but I can't see them. What the heck is the point of that, I ask you?? Still, it's super cool and once we worked out the MANY bugs (the video chat does NOT work well with ethernet/DSL routers), it worked fantastically! It will definitely save on long distance and I get to see my dog!

Negative:
1) I just got hit with my boss moving to Atlanta so on top of school, work, and my sudden health kick, I get to job search. Luckily, I have four months but still it ain't fun and games right now. It does give me the chance to try for a legal job instead of tech so that's always good.

2) My goal in life is to get maybe 35+ hours of sleep in a week. Heh.... Yeah, lack of sleep is not helping me but oh, well... I was the one crazy enough to decide to do work AND school.

3) School sucks. Jeez.... Civ Pro is driving me crazy since I can't keep any of the federal statutes and exceptions right. Torts is okay except it's so damn VAGUE!!!! And I'm not quite getting the point of the cases on the first go around and it's pretty dense reading which make me very frustrated. And legal writing??? Ha!!! I'm not the world's greatest writer so that doesn't help. It does make me feel better that pretty much my whole class is feeling just as overwhelmed. Also, it's not like I don't do the work... I am managing that. It's just the comprehension part that needs work. =)

Well, that's all for now. The Cubs are actually in the playoffs and they won tonight so that's cool for us Chicagoans. (I am more of a Cubs fan than White Sox... Sorry, Southsiders...)

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

School sucks... hm... you were surprised by this? :) Shoulda just asked me, couild have told you that.. hm.. since birth. Heh. I'm sure you are exaggerating and are rocking their legal world. Sleep is for the weak! (hmm.. if so... I believe I must be an invalid).

Ben:

I was thinking of getting one of them iSights too but then I realized that I would have no one to really use it with. =p It'd make a nice webcam though but I guess you don't have a website to run a webcam off of. =) So I figured I'd wait a few generations to see if they could shrink it down a bit more.
