My finals diet

Starburst

Skittles

Smarties*

Nerds**

Gobstoppers

Gummy worms

Sour gummy worms

...and chocolate. For good measure.

Insert appropriate How I Met Your Mother quote here:

"Jellybeans, fluffernutter, gummi bears, gingersnaps. This is a grocery list."

"For who? A witch building a house in the forest? 

... 

"Sugar helps me study..."

It's funny because it's true. (Maybe you had to be there?)


*Hello, I thought they might help me learn income tax.
**Too easy?

Half-moon manicure

I've been seeing these everywhere lately - ok, mainly just on the runway and in InStyle. But that was enough to get me intrigued. I finally decided to give it a try. If it means avoiding studying for Secured Transactions, I'm willing to do just about anything...

Anyway, thought I would share the results of my little experiment. It looks gray and black, but it's actually light blue and navy...way more fun! It's not perfect, but I was actually surprised by how easy it is.

And, ooh, bonus - the real grown-ups in my family will hate it! Yes, I realize I am a 26-year-old who is passively rebelling against authority via nail polish...don't worry about it.

(What's that in the background, you ask? Why yes, it is my statutory supplement and outline. Welcome to my wonderful life!)

Advise & Concede...

My friend E's advice for my final today? "Just concede."

"Just walk in, sit down and write 'I concede. See you next semester.'"

I think that would put me in the record books right next to the kid from our class who freaked out in the middle of finals and just walked out. Of course the 3L who shot up his casebooks last year still trumps.

Omigod you guys

I'm sitting in Starbucks studying for my final this afternoon and figured what would be more appropriate study music than the soundtrack to Legally Blonde?? ("Law school is for boring, ugly, serious people - and you, button, are none of those.")

I'm feeling slightly guilty because I'm skipping class right now - I walked in and turned in my homework and left to go to my locker. I had every intention of going back, but then I realized my Professor wasn't there and my homework counts for attendance...so I figured it's a better use of my time to get in a few more hours with adjudicatory hearings and formal rulemaking!

Of course, since I am posting this I obviously got sidetracked. (Seriously, someone put me on Adderall.) Anyway, I swear it's not my fault - there was this guy in Starbucks who looked just like Rob Lowe. A younger, less Botoxed/Ken-doll version of Rob Lowe that is. Seriously, probably the best looking man I've ever seen in this town. So of course he was wearing a wedding band. That really is the hustle.

Ok, back to the books now. Here's hoping I'll be the shark, not the chum.

xoxo,

Your Legally Non-Blonde

PS - Fall Break is around the corner, at which time I hope to actually have interesting things to write about!
