New exciting thing in life...
Shark Week starts Sunday.

This is my last week of school. Ever. That blows my mind. And theres not much left of that mind to blow away.
Forewarning, this is a self-indulgent post.
For those of you not aware, I am planning on taking my Bar exam in Indiana. And im planning on being a State's Attorney. As such, I am also planning to be broke. But that comes with the territory. Ive really enjoyed being a prosecutor. It tugs at me now and then, that I have to punish people that in many cases seem like theyve gotten a raw deal and such, but for the most part I feel like its a very fulfilling job. I get to punish the bad guys. I get to see people get their come-uppence (I have NO IDEA how to actually spell that). And its non-stop. On a busy court day I feel like im in the middle of a tornado of paperwork and wheeling and dealing. Its kind of exhilarating. And thats just me in traffic court. Which, in reality, is fairly lame. Im confident that I picked the right career. Well, the right career since Samurai Ninja Pirate doesn't pay all that well. Yeah. Im twelve.
On one hand im anxious to get a job, to get an apartment and whatnot and start real life. On the other hand it seems so...final. Like an end. Which is ridiculous, and I realize that. Im about to turn 25, and in my plan to live till im around 300, that is not a long time. And everytime I start something new, it goes well. Going to college went well. Going to law school went well. Still. How grown up im becoming. Doesn't suit me, does it? Though it does feel about time...I dont know if anyone that reads this is even still in school. I feel behind.
Im going to miss my law school friends, but not that much. I feel like most of them will be contacts in my 'network'.
The end of the year seems inconsequential to me now. I have two real exams, and thats it. And while my grades are still important, any job I get will be based on my actual courtroom experience, not my grades. Which takes some pressure off. Im just staring at the bar exam like its some terrible foe waiting in the shadows. Everything revolves around it. I shudder to think of what ill do if I dont pass it. Id be so screwed.
That being said, those of you in the Evansville area shall be treated to my insanity in this summer, and this is my early apology for only being able to talk about Bar Review. Since thats all ill be doing for a month and a half. Gah.
But again, how boring was this post? Lemme end on a positive note. The note that is the thing I am most excited about within the next month.
Graduating Law School? Nope.
My Birthday? No.
I am excited that the Shedd Aquarium has a Komodo Dragon to visit for the next year, and im gonna go see it after finals. Thats right, the highlight of my life is an 8 foot long 120 pound lizard.

"Carebear bumpin in the heart of this here..."
Now that thats out of the way. Im approaching the end of the semester. Exams. Seminar paper. Bar stuff. Laws. Careers. Huzzah. Im feeling wound tighter than I can imagine. Family wise, things are bad again. Like this past summer bad. And that other thing? The one I never talk about here on the blog? Blah. Lets stay away from that ball of nasty.
Anyone watch the Boondocks on sunday on Cartoon Network? Damn funny.
Chicago was a lot of fun, got to see raedy melissa stacey jesse and mike. Good times all around, sans the tornado.
So my favorite professor is there in class, Legal History, good class, blah blah, and hes talking about the emergence of common law, and precedent and such, and says "And, as we all the know, the cure for common law is what?" and gave a very expectant look at the class. He let a good minute go by with no one answering what he thought was a very simple question all lawyers should know before muttering "Ive wasted my life" and continuing on with the lecture. I laughed so hard I cried in class.
Congrats to everyone that deserves congrats...you know who you are.
I shant be home for thanksgiving, but I shall for xmas.
This was my five minute update.

I finally get up the ambition to continue to post, and have nothing to post about. At all.
Fall is here and has brought with it the sweet brisk 55 degree temperatures that, if I had my way, would accompany me throughout the entire 365 days of the year. I love it. I love walking to class, the sun being out, and a nice freezing breeze tears through me. Exhilarating. Makes me want to go out and do stuff. See stuff. New stuff. Then I realize, IM STUCK IN DEKALB.
I am going a new kind of stir crazy, the kind that comes from doing the same thing every damn day with the omnipresent pitfalls that life has planned for me looming larger and larger on the horizon. I realize that right now, I cannot think of anything that I am looking forward to in life, save visiting/visits from friends. I have decided that I am not, at all, ready to enter the real world. Im going to Florida to study elementary education...go for my phd in it. I really do miss Indiana a lot these days. It was much simpler and more exciting. Blah blah. Damn im depressing. Im that bored. But lets see if i cant find something better to talk about.
The good news. My dad got a new job. A better job. And this means my parents get to stay in Indiana. Chris will be home for xmas.
My mom took in a stray dog that dropped 15 puppies. Now, most of you know that we already have 9 animals in the house. This situation is quite hilarious to me. However, if you know of any homes for puppies, lemme know. They are black lab mixed with something, I can hook you up with pictures. Think of it, you could put together your own dogsled team!
My buddy bryan came to visit this past weekend, and him and I, in search of fun, went to every single bar in dekalb. This was not as fun as it sounded since the reason we kept leaving was that there was nobody at the bars, till we ended up at the very last bar in town that had a decent cover band playing (which we paid 5 dollar cover to get in for 4 songs). We walked everywhere, so I would say we racked up several miles of walking, which in itself was fun.
Right now im watching Beverly Hills Ninja.
I lied before when I said I wasnt looking forward to anything. End of October AMC starts up Monsterfest again. A week of horror movies. Looking at the lineup, its not near as good as last year, but I dont think that will stop me from watching 12 hours of monster movies a day for a week. And thats just AMC. I love halloween. And things that carry knives or have sharp teeth. Or their teeth ARE sharp knives. Yeah. Thatd be cool.
Alright. Thats all I can muster for now. I know most of you have read it or heard it by now, but what the hell...
So a bear walks into a bar and says
"Ill have a..................beer"
And the bartender says
"Why the big pause?"
And the bear says
"I dont know, I was just born with em"
