before BARBRI starts :(

highlights thus far:

surprisingly not awkward interactions with my pre-law school co-workers at the annual picnic thrown by my former boss [maybe they just seemed not awkward because i drank a lot of wine]
coffee and bagels in the morning with mom & dad
helping my sister and her husband pack up their kitchen - the ceiling and floor are already torn out, and the walls are coming down today thanks to a burst pipe that caused lotsa water damage [i guess this one’s not really a highlight?]
dinner tonite with bf’s family at one of my favorite restaurants - yay for celebrating law school graduation!

it’s making me a little stressed to see how many people have already started studying, but i’m just going to stick to my BARBRI schedule and trust the method.

birthday margs!

i bought this earlier this week and LOVE it. beware though - the lining is VERY sheer. (at least in the mint green version.)

A highlight from my Corporate Finance outline

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 23:27:00 -0400

3 types of commercial paper

financial: issued by financial firms
non-financial: issued by non-financial firms
asset-backed: issued by some entity with assets backing it

Even more pathetic when you consider that I ACTUALLY TOOK COMMERCIAL PAPER.

finals? what finals?

today is my last day of school.

Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:06:56 -0400

probably ever. and even though i’m fortunate enough to know where i’m going and what i’m doing after graduation, it’s still a little bit scary!

but, at the same time…

“I think you should learn, of course, and some days you must learn a great deal. But you should also have days when you allow what is already in you to swell up inside of you until it touches everything. And you can feel it inside of you. If you never take time out to let that happen, then you accumulate facts, and they begin to rattle around inside of you. You can make noise with them, but never really feel anything with them. It’s hollow.”

- From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler is the best, most important YA book of all time, and E. L. Konigsburg will be missed. (via luckypaperstars)

one of my most favorite books.
