I saw that quote on a daily email I receive today and it just totally applies to my life right now. I like to think I'm a pretty good person most of the time, and I have my bad days just like everyone else, but during this past year off, I spent a lot of time working on me. I lost 15 pounds which puts me at my "perfect weight" or so says my bmi. So now I can fit easily into all my jeans from college (yay for not having to spend money on new jeans, again). I also worked on the mental and spiritual side of me. I'm not as spiritual as the rest of my family, and that's cool. I've always believed that you do what works for you. This past year I made it a habit that before I go to sleep every night I tell God 5 things that made me smile or made me feel good today and I thank him for that opportunity, and then I'll offer up any concerns on my mind. It's helped a lot with the other aspect I worked on this past year, which was the mental side. Now, I don't think I was a pessimistic person, but I could be cynical at times. Especially working in the restaurant industry it's hard not to be pessimistic b/c, at least at my store, everyone was very down and they voiced it loudly. I made it a point to start trying to be optimistic, in hopes that it would just become habit. And I am proud to say, that it finally has.
I, being the smart one that I am, dropped my iphone (that i've had less than 6 months) in some water yesterday. Accidentally obviously. It worked fine for a couple hours, and then it just froze. OK, that sucks. That's my life line. I don't have a land line, and I can't be on FB 24/7 if someone needs me. Luckily, my roommate happened to be home when this happened, and she had an old phone that I could use until I got a new one. So, the optimist in me said, at least I have a phone that I can text and call on, everything else is superfluous. :-D Go me! And also, I can still get on the internet b/c my number has an unlimited data plan, so I will still be able to do somethings online. I went to the AT&T store today and talked over some different options, and now I have a decision to make, but I think, I can take some time to make it. And also, my iphone has decided to work today, so fingers crossed, it's drying out with little to no damage (I did have my otterbox cover on it).
Ok, so as far as law school goes. I think I mentioned that last week was crazy week. We had our first memo due on Thursday and I had about a bazillion meetings to go to. The week ended with a bang though. One of my sorority sisters (my twin actually) is moving from North Carolina to Las Vegas and she stopped off Friday night in Memphis, so Friday night I drove up to meet her and we had dinner, and then went out for some fun. :) Then Saturday Ole Miss had a home football game against Fresno State (which we won), and it was a night game, so we spent the afternoon in the Grove hanging out. For those of you who don't know, you dress up to go to the football games here. I mean dresses and everything. Sunday was a day to relax, do homework, watch football, and clean. And after all of this was done, my boyfriend came over and we watched Sweet Home Alabama (I love that movie).
So this week, not as crazy. And, our writing teacher pushed back the due date for our second memo 24 hours. Now it's not due until Wednesday! Sweet, b/c I just did it this afternoon. Now I can edit it tomorrow. :) This weekend is Ole Miss's last home game until the end of October, so that'll be fun. And, last but not least, fall finally arrived last night!!!!!!! I am so excited about this fact. Can you tell?
