Sunday night has rolled around again, and here are the things I have accomplished this past week:

- Reconnected with Karen; ended up getting a lot of good tips on legal internships and she has also volunteered to hook it up with an internship at a judge and for in-house counsel. I better not mess this up, and if this goes through, I will owe a lot of my future career in the legal industry to her. or at least a big favor in the future. To digress, this is how people with power and control gain even more power and control....because they are the creators of other people's destinies by offering help that can only be repaid through future servitude.

- Finished my research for my trial brief due on Tuesday. I AM SCREWED. Fifa 2010 is just too addicting right now and played that most of the weekend instead of writing my paper. plan for tomorrow- write my paper all day and skip school. i feel guilty now for being apathetic. I am Jack's desire to do better....

- On a side note, on a scale from 1 to 10, ive been averaging a 7 on happiness this semester. compared to last semester's 3, i'd say the trade off of not stressing over case briefs and such has been mildly worthwhile. actually getting to see my good friends and hanging out with my roommates more frequently has definitely opened my heart and mind. whereas last semester, i know I was quite selfish and minded my own business for so long. and what was to show except 2 B's and 3 C's? fck law school for that.

I am Jack's total disregard for school

instead of finishing my torts cases for tonight, i played fifa'10. and we played it with spanish commentary on. hahahaha its like watching an actual saturday afternoon soccer game on the spanish channel.

i had a mock interview today with a fella from The Crim Law Firm, P.C. The main partner's last name is "Crim". David Crim II. lol, you can not make this shit up, but the ironic part is his firm only does personal injury. he told me other interviewees have actually mistakenly said they were interested in this firm because it was a criminal defense firm. applicant FAIL.

I am Jack's cautious sense of hope -
after the interview, I was given a critique with an overall excellent rating. The only things he told me I need to improve on are:
1) Relate concrete examples of past experiences to the question
2) Ask more questions about the firm at the end of the i

its too bad this wasn't a real interview. at least I got his card and made a good impression.

note to self-
i also look good in a suit, but at the same time hate feeling constricted.

time to be cathartic and write about whatever comes to my mind. this is really another attempt (first attempt since c. 2002) to keep a journal of my dreams, etc.

ill keep it short for tonight- reason being is that I have a mock interview w/ a real joe blow law firm - the Crim Law firm - tomorrow and should rest up. (yes, the main partner's last name is "Crim"). ironically, they do personal injury, not criminal defense.

Current thoughts-
- my roommate sounds like he is high/drunk/on something
- ive gained a lot of weight (165 --> 178 ) since coming back from denver and it is mainly fat
- I need to lose a lot of weight (178 --> 160) before going back to HK in may
- It really grosses me out that ive gained that much jelly. damn you peanut butter and cookies!! and kettle chips, steak and ranch!!
- I need a summer internship
- I need a job right now too
- a girlfriend would be nice as well
