The bell curve means nothing. Court is usually nervewracking, just let yourself be nervous but don't panic. It's all going to be okay and the more you do it the more you'll realize that "average" is meaningless.

i still wanna pee before a judge - and sometimes i wish the floor would open up and swallow me...xx luxe

from luxelady :

thanks hun for the note...it means a lot...xx luxe

from daizylee :

Congrats. I know that hold your breath and push through bit is hard. I've had to do it myself. So proud of you and so happy for you. Isn't it weird when things are actually good? Takes a while to get used to, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.

from luxelady :

YAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAY!!!!!! i'm so happy for you!!! xx luxe

from strawberrri :

ay, there are some right plonkers in the world!

from luxelady :

congrats my dear!! you've worked very hard and you earned it, baby!! xx luxe

from luxelady :

good luck!!! make sure your pants are zipped! lol - xx luxe

from luxelady :

everyone makes mistakes - it works out!! the place where i work now, i sat through an hour and a half interview with my fly unzipped -didn't know it until i left...but i got the job! ps - thanks for the hugs

from luxelady :

thank you so much for your kindness and for being so sweet - it means so much...xx luxe

from luxelady :

thank you *tears up* no really - that meant a lot. and kudos to you for standing up for yourself!! maybe if you don't let all that pressure build up you won't feel so bad.. (i should talk!!) xx luxe

from luxelady :

thanks for the congrats - yeah i really hope that something can be worked out, he's been a really good match for me and that is so hard to find!! how have you been doing?? xx luxe

from daizylee :

When anything like that happens, what you have is a bad therapist. Eric and I have both been lucky with ours, but Eric had to switch after his first one. You should be comfortable with them and they should be at least somewhat supportive of your feelings. Good luck searching.

from daizylee :

I know there may be baggage and other things, but therapy could be better than you think. And you don't have to tell anyone you're going. I don't. But just having someone to listen and give you something to think about, having someone to report your progress to, it's weird how much of a difference it can make. The way things have been going lately, I think it definitely couldn't hurt. It's helped me move out of feeling really hopeless about some things.

from luxelady :

do whatever you can, hun - you need to be your first priority - get yourself somewhere safer, move, get therapy, all of the above - i'm thinking of you, big HUGS!! xx luxe

from luxelady :

oh sweetie please don't go there, please please please please please please please please please please please!! it is NOT the answer...i've been trying to stop for years, and once it gets ahold of you it won't let go...xx luxe

from daizylee :

That's funny to me, since most of the girls at my school were relatively unattractive. But I guess it can cut both ways. If I were you, I'd avoid them, too.

from luxelady :

never forget that law school is the smallest "high school" environment EVER. i stayed away from the "scene" mainly because i couldn't bear the thought of gossip about me...ugh...you're almost out of there, thank god! xx luxe

from luxelady :

ohhhh yes - waiting for law school to finish always sucks - it's senioritis like never before - you should see my transcript from my last semester....pitiful, i tell you...i studied for the final basically by buying other student's outlines, how shameful!!! xx luxe

from luxelady :

well i, for one, have MISSED you!! what's up!!? xx luxe

from luxelady :

thanks for your kind thoughts - ps. where have you been?? xx luxe

from luxelady :

YAY!!! no clots!!

from luxelady :

how did it go?

from luxelady :

clots scare the bejesus out of me - the idea of a timebomb inside your body...*shivers* i've got everything crossed for you...xx luxe

from luxelady :

i couldn't see myself doing it - still can't, as a matter of fact...how did we get here? xx luxe

from luxelady :

i should've never gone through with it...don't waste your time...GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!! :-) xx luxe

from luxelady :

awww kitty!!! hee hee - hey you're gorgeous lady...work it! xx luxe

from luxelady :

thanks for the congrats!!!

from luxelady :

PUPPIES!!! ;-) hey thanx for the support! xx luxe

from luxelady :

get. it. over. with. it may be tooo late...but that's all i can say... xx luxe...

from luxelady :

thanks for the thoughtful note...relationships are so freakin crazy...good luck on your exams - then you'll be done with your 2L year!! YEAH!! xx luxe

from luxelady :

excuse me???! you're working your ass off, going places with your talent, becoming an attorney for chrissakes (which most families dream of) and you're throwing your life away?? that's logic even my fucked up brain doesn't get. i say congrats on your accomplishments. xx luxe

from luxelady :

congrats!!

from heffs-world :

Congrats! I would be just as excited! I just picked a major today, so I'm pretty excited about that. Today is a good day!

from daizylee :

Congrats. I know what a huge relief that is. Very very happy for you. Hope you love it.

from dont-stop :

(big warm hug)

from daizylee :

Good luck with the counselor. And, believe me, there is no "learning" how to do law. There is just getting lucky with that particular question with that particular professor on that particular exam. I got good grades on exams where I probably wasn't the best and done pretty poorly in classes where I studied like crazy. I gave up on any rationality in law school grades ages ago.

from daizylee :

Don't worry. Seriously. Law is full of people with good grades and bad grades, and most of them end up with good jobs, even with really awful grades. You will get a job. And if you don't like it you'll get another. And once you've worked no one will ever care about your grades again. Don't worry. It will get better.

from badmj :

well done! and I hope your having a great christmas!

from luxelady :

wooo!!! done is done. grades come later. xx luxe

from daizylee :

Yeah, that's how it went for me with every single paper I ever wrote in school. Diary entry 1: Today I'm going to do lots of work on my paper. Diary entry 2: Didn't do any work on my paper.

from e7deadlysins :

Heh. Urinary Tract Infection.

from luxelady :

remember: if it isn't being offered to prove the truth of what it says, it isn't hearsay at all. if it IS being offered to prove the truth of what it says but falls within an exception, then it is hearsay, but admissible due to the exception. that was a point my prof beat to the bone in our exam. good luck!!!

from badmj :

good luck!

from badmj :

Ha, ebay can be sooo addictive

from daizylee :

Hi, thanks for the add. I thought I'd drop a note and say that it does get better. I was nowhere near the regular career path in law school. All those people with interviews at the big firms? Screw them. They'll be miserable and soulless in five years. I know how the pressure gets, you just have to go through it knowing that law is a huge, versatile field and you can make of it whatever you want. Good luck pushing through finals, always the worst time of year. I wish I could send you a couple of my "girly" friends from law school. They were very girly and very blonde and totally not my type, but I loved them dearly. Good luck, I'm adding you back.

from bobrules :

That's the thing though. It's completely not her at all. I'm just being overly sensitive and stupid. And I'm definitely not going to "call it quits" any time soon. As I said, my logical side will always win out as far as decisions go. I'd have to be an idiot to throw away a great relationship with an awesome girl just because my mind is playing tricks on me.

from badmj :

im sure he will be fine!

from luxelady :

all i can say is...i understand...i have been there...not sure i came out the other side with ALL my sanity...but at least some of it...hang in there. xx luxe

from badmj :

thats not a summary!!

from badmj :

she should leave him. she needs to make him start paying because its not fair on her or the kids

from badmj :

instead of going to the gym me and my brother go running, swimming, rollerblading and play basketball. So we are having fun at the same time. Oh and my mum uses the work out dvd's and she lost weight.

from evababy777 :

instead of shelling out cash for that stability ball class, why not buy a few work out dvds? i currently use "pick your spot pilates" "burn and firm pilates" and "fat burning pilates." i find it much easier to work out at home before getting ready for school, than driving to a gym after i'm already exhausted from the day.

from luxelady :

i tell you what - i don't miss it AT ALL. but i know what you're going through...you will enjoy it when it's over, believe me...xx luxe

from badmj :

12 hours at school! you must work really hard!

from luxelady :

good for you for kicking a little man-ass!! xx luxe

from badmj :

that guy sounds like a right dickhead. the main thing is that u have fun playing

from e7deadlysins :

I like your diary =)

from luxelady :

congrats on passing!! - oh and still apply anyway to firms that have certain grade requirements...sometimes something else on your resume will catch their eye - i worked one summer at a firm that only hired the 10% (which was NOT me!!!) because i put down that i was a NY Yankees fan! you never know...xx luxe

from evababy777 :

i hear ya. but, i think that happens when a bunch of super talented people are packed into one school. those who've shined their entire lives suddenly don't shine. it sucks. but in the end, you just have to realize that you're super smart and super impressive, because law school is not something that most people can do. :)

from badmj :

Well done for passing your exam!

from evababy777 :

where do you go to law school? i'm at university of az.

from evababy777 :

isn't it insane that we already need to apply for summer jobs!!! it's august! i just turned in resumes to about 20 firms. i have a 3.1, which is defintely not great, but i'm hoping my extracurriculars and law journal experience will get me a few interviews.

from badmj :

its the people who raised you that are your parents. my ex was brought up by his auntie and uncle and calls them mum and dad and he had a really happy childhood and says he doesnt think he has missed out on anything for deciding not to see his biological parents. its the people who are there for you that are your family.

from luxelady :

now THAT is the universal question, darlin'!! xx luxe

from luxelady :

that's great that you had such a good experience!! all i can do is try and be smart about it i guess and cross my fingers! i just never meet anyone new, ya know? thanks for the boost of confidence! xx luxe

from badmj :

Im sure u passed!

from luxelady :

thanks for the sweet note - i'm soooo psyched!!! xx luxe

from abbeylou :

Good Luck!

from luxelady :

good luck!! for my con law exam our prof asked "discuss the constitutionality of the emancipation proclamation" that was a BITCH. i feel your pain...xx luxe

from badmj :

good luck!

from luxelady :

thanks for the well wishes - i survived (barely) and lived to breathe the clear buffalo air *hack hack*

from luxelady :

thanks for the note - it helps to know that someone understands - xx luxe

from luxelady :

PS - property is the HARDEST. it was my worst grade first year and now i'm studying it again for the bar. do y'all in Canada study that future interest shit like "vested subject to a complete divestment?" it's all bullshit - i've got my fingers crossed for you xx luxe

from luxelady :

UN - fuck password: off keep reading! xx luxe

from heffs-world :

Happy Birthday! I hope it's wonderful!

from luxelady :

happy birthday babe!!! xx luxe

from bobrules :

Thanks.

from bobrules :

Adding new tastes is definitely a good thing. The problem is when you abandon the old ones. Everybody changes over time, but to force the issue just to feel better about yourself or impress others isn't really healthy I don't think. It's good for you to try things you don't like again sometimes because you never know when your feelings might change. I'd hate to see anyone be so calculated about it though. It's one thing to change your hairstyle or lose weight, but for some reason, your likes and dislikes seem to make up more of the essense of who you are. To fake new ones until they eventually changed would be the equivalent of plastic surgery to me.

from hollysdiet :

hello there! do you belong to any weightloss support boards? i wanted to see if you'd like to come check out mine, cuz it's awesome and i think you'd fit in. http://makingitmine.proboards15.com/index.cgi is where it is. :) good luck in 2005!

from strawberrri :

hi, merry christmas! the head recovered by about 4 in the afternoon, but the normal christmas alcohol-consumption sadly had to be given a miss. hehe. hope you had a cool day :)

from luxelady :

the first one's down - the rest will be a breeze! (well maybe not a breeze...) i too am in the midst of law school finals so believe me, i feel your (15 hours of studying a day) pain...

from heffs-world :

hey! sorry I didn't really say what was up with my eye. The doctor said I probably scratched it somehow when I was sleeping. I guess when you first wake up in the morning and open your eyes you can scratch them. I don't know. He said he didn't see anything, gave me some drops, and sent me on my way. That was last Thursday. Today it finally feels ok and I'm relieved. My eye site means the world to me.

from bobrules :

Not sure if I quoted it exactly right since I didn't take the time to look it up, but it's from "Popular" by Nada Surf. I used to have the whole song memorized more or less, so I think it's at least close to the actual line.

from luxelady :

hey - as a third year law student just wanted to let ya know that it isn't just you - everyone always feels this way! it's the job of law school to make you feel inadequate and make you want to pull your hair out. you can do this! you'll get through it just fine, babe, just hang in there. don't let them bring you down or make you doubt yourself. xx luxe

from luxelady :

hey hun can i have your password? i don't want to miss out on your updates.

from krugerpak007 :

Well done for your grade! I am sorry about your mom, and her thoughts about you. I hope she feels better but I think she is been a bit tough on you. Hang in there... xoxox Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Yes, been poor does suck! Hope you are having a good weekend. Nice to see you updating. You were missed! xoxox Kathy

from dont-stop :

Mmmmm, I love pierogies too! Especially if they're sauteed like potstickers with the crunchy bottoms.

from bobrules :

It's great that you're getting to the route of the problem rather than just endlessly dieting. It's obvious that doesn't work and I'm glad you realize it. Good luck.

from krugerpak007 :

Thanks for the explanation. Good luck and enjoy!!!! xoxox

from krugerpak007 :

Excuse my ignorance but what exactly is a moot contest? Ughh. Sorry if that is a silly question. You have been the real social butterfly lately! Thats great I think! You only live once! xoxox Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures with us. xoxo

from soul-glimpse :

great pictures! it's cool to finally get a glimpse "in" your life. i hope to post a bunch tomorrow but they're old so oh well. talk to you later.

from dont-stop :

Poor dog. That was very sweet of you to stop and help him.

from heffs-world :

I hope you have a wonderful time on your trip!

from othelladub :

Steinbeck is good.

from krugerpak007 :

What a dick! I really hope they will take action. Have a great time, you certainly deserve it! xoxo

from dont-stop :

That was cool karma, baby! Have fun on your trip to Nova Scotia and get some rest.

from krugerpak007 :

Nice bag! xoxo Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Mmm. There are some good people out there afterall. xoxo Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Great! Cute pic! xoxo Kathy

from dont-stop :

Sorry about your friend Steve. I wanted you to know that I took your advice and went around and hugged all of my friends just now. (HUGS)

from krugerpak007 :

Oh my word, that really made me think. Sometimes I moan about all kinds of crap and in the meantime there is REAL life going on out there. You are right, it is fragile, and I should definately appreciate it more. Congrads on the apartment! xoxo Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Glad you are taking some "me" time. We all need that and you especially after all this work you are doing. So I hope you relax, take it easy and just enjoy some free time.xoxo Kathy

from heffs-world :

I have to start looking at colleges this year. I also believe they ask WAY too much money for tuition. It's sad really. The lower class will never get ahead because they can't afford to go to school. I'll have to go to the cheapest school I can find. It sucks.

from krugerpak007 :

Yes, its bloody depressing looking at those old pictures. I am trying so hard....Ughh. Anyway thanks for your note and take care of yourself. Take some "me" time for yourself! xoxo Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Holding thumbs for the apartment. xox Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

I like the template! And I can only relate to that entry. The apartment sounds great! xoxo Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Try not to overdo it..Maybe take a tiny break? I have been eating badly too. I just suck at this weight loss thing. Take it easy honey. Try not to work too hard...We want to hear about your apartment.xoxo Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Oh no, what is with these people and their phone calls..Do they not have lives? (I left the same message at Alyssa..)xoxox Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Congradulations firstly for your graduation! Wow..such an achievement, I hope get there someday. Secondly, I think its awsome to get married in Hawai, without all the usual "stuff". If I could do it again it would be totally different. Feel good! xoxo Kathy

from dont-stop :

Maid of Honor? Hah! She just wants a free trip to Hawaii.

from dont-stop :

Happy Birthday, sweetie!!! (sorry we can't come and pamper you like we did Annie)

from krugerpak007 :

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday-Have a wonderful day! Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

Yeyyyyyyyyyyy, someone actually listened to me! Thanks for updating, you made me smile! Now carry on the good work! Ok? :-) Take care! Kathy

from krugerpak007 :

I just started reading you, and I will be upset if you don't update. So update-please!Kathy

from soul-glimpse :

hey kara, i just wanted to say thanks for the notes. and if you haven't read my screaming-little-girl entry then let me go ahead and tell you: you were right about leaving it out! i got a job at champp's. it feels positively surreal that i was only unemployed for 72 hours. it feels like YEARS. anyway, i hope you have a wonderful weekend.

from dont-stop :

I don't know what to say. That's a tough situation. I don't think she wants to die, I think she just misses all the attention she used to get.

from thintowin :

Wow, very inspiring!

from soul-glimpse :

or 6 inches to something else ;)

from soul-glimpse :

that's positively amusing and obnoxious that he gloats like that, considering the only athletes TRULY treated like demi-gods are the football and basketball players: the guys. unfortunately even the recognition of the girls' basketball team is nowhere near the guys'. you should say, "it's a shame you didn't play basketball; then you would have known REAL special treatment." i dare any senior to name one basketball player who played during their time at unc... and one golf player. the former? no problem. the latter? i'll bet no more than twenty. demi-god, indeed.

from parlance :

"Should I listen to everything you're saying? -shakes magic 8 ball- -it explodes-"

from soul-glimpse :

YOU KNOW?! it's crazy shit. anyway, i just signed my entrance forms back into hell: i start training to be a chili's server on sunday. it's not that i don't think i can do it: i'm one of the best and i'm aware... it's just that sometimes i get the urge to KILL PEOPLE. i wish i could wear a little button on my goddamn apron that says "DO NOT FUCK WITH ME." i wish. congrats on the ring, by the way: not a fan of commitment myself but it's beautiful when people are.

from bitsofmylife :

you can never appreciate having a waiter/waitress until you've been one. welcome to our world.

from thintowin :

Congrats! And I love the new layout. :)

from dont-stop :

My fingers are crossed!

from xemowhorex :

you have me listed as a favorite. if you're still around and care at all, i have had to locked my diary for a while. the username: emo password: whore

from catinblack :

Congrats on the ring! You sound so happy:) I laughed out loud on the grocery cart paranoia. When chips are on for 3 for $5, I wonder whether people think I'm having a party or do they think "No wonder her pants are a bit too tight". (Chips are the breakfast of champions)

from bitsofmylife :

thanks for the note. i really don't know what else to say. but it's nice to know some people notice i'm alive.

from comfortm :

hi i noticed i'm on your friends list...i had to lock my diary for personal reasons for a week or so so i am giving you the password etc... username: thiscantbe pass:life keep reading thanks.

from dont-stop :

Teclo.diaryland just suggested that I take up yoga. Maybe you can ask her about it.

from dont-stop :

Thanks for the hug. I needed it. And congratulations on your healthy outlook. You're heading in the right direction.

from strawberrri :

merry christmas, lady! thanks but i don't need to loan your bladder as mine has appeared to take pity on me and healed itself :) right i'm off to bedski.

from thintowin :

Thanks for the note. I hope you are having a decent holiday season. 2004 just HAS to be a better year, right?

from dont-stop :

Yeah, boys are lazy like that. I'm sorry you're still sick. I hope you feel better soon. (hugs)

from bitsofmylife :

yes! that's what we need! to a certain extent we have universities and colleges here, but it doesn't really matter: wellesley is a "college" and some of these places (ie university of north carolina at pembroke) are "universities", but wellesley is a million times better. one day we'll get it right... until then, i just have to bitch! :) have a great day.

from strawberrri :

hey thanks for the note. i still have the bloody infection! (was so bad this morning i made kind of animalistic noises of pain on the toilet...i hope no one heard - what would they have thought?!)

from dont-stop :

I love your method of motivation. The floor plan sounds absolutely fabulous and I know it's easier said than done, especially when we get wrapped in the fray and neglect the obvious, but please take care of yourself, okay? (hugs)

from bitsofmylife :

sorry about that: that you felt you had to defend yourself. i was really wasted when i wrote that, and while that was the sentiment i wanted to get across, i usually pad it with tact, instead of the bitter tone it came out in. i really actually don't know what to say now except i am sorry it came out like that and i didn't mean to be a bitch: i understand you miss your dad, and by all means you're entitled. it sounds like you had a great relationship. i guess i kinda hoped it would make you a little happier to at least know you had that good relationship, even though it's gone. at least you had it: that's what i mean. once again, i'm really sorry. vodka is not my friend sometimes.

from toshchaya :

Thanks for the support...

from bitsofmylife :

at least you had a dad who cared about you at one point and didn't choose to leave you.
