iamyoursunrise!Now, if only my Rangers can run very deep into the playoffs before I can't watch them for the next four years!
*giggles* Imagine, me an attorney?

On an aside, the email thing. I found out about Hofstra through an e-mail about Accepted and Honors Student days..and then got the mail package three days later. This time with SJ I found out through a Housing e-mail.
Kids, I'm dying over here. Just as pleased as a peach. I want to say a big thanks to all because your a big reason for my success!

Got into my first law school.
CLOUD NINE DOESN'T EVEN DESCRIBE IT!
Ok I know I've been MIA..but lots of work and this school thing..
...I'm sitting at my desk, shaking, crying and just really effing proud of myself.
...LOVE YOU ALL
***forgot this part***
*scored a 156 which put me in the 68th percentile...so that kicked ass and took names
**I got AN EFFING SCHOLARSHIP to the first law school- Hofstra in Long Island..so while that could mean either A-a long commute or B moving to Long Island..I am just more psyched than anything to have gottten one acceptance..out of the way, so to speak.
Seriously, at one point my dad and I were on the phone and he was saying how I had to find me and it took me awhile. That I had to put myself together and now I worked on me, I can work on attaining my dreams.
In the slightly nervous side of me---my number 1 choice asked for my Community College records--when I was a Communications major and still struggling heavy with depression and anxiety. ..once they pulled those grades in (which DID NOT count for my degree) it pulled my GPA..so a little nervous on that front.
**still LOVE YOU ALL***
rightio The owner at Dunkin Donuts called me ma'am today. I was a little horrified as he is in his late 30's and I'm only 25...ma'am, seriously? I like miss. Hell, I think we should call even the older (like 75) miss, it makes a girls day. But ma'am? Seriously?
Watched Grey's last night and was hoping it would be just as good and low and behold, it was! It's taken me a bit to catch up, but alas, I love my show all over again.
So, today is one of the attorneys last days. He's been the first person since I've been here that has been let go. (aka fired for effing everything up and not caring). As one knows who reads this blog, I have had issues with the girls I work with. Yet, I did go out with them last week for drinks. A little more background, this attorney who is leaving is getting married in two weeks. The girls are all invited and all the people going out tonight (the younger associates) are invited, but I'm not invited to the wedding. Even though with their classy attitude (insert sarcasm here) they talk about the wedding I'm not invited to non-stop. Don't get me wrong, I'm not offended or hurt by this in the least. Quite frankly his office is the one I'm going to be going for if/when I graduate law school. He also is everything I can't stand in that he's lazy, he doesn't care about the opportunities our bosses have given him, he makes my life harder in that he bills for something and I wind up doing it all over again and can't bill for it. So, no, I'm not offended. I just think it's a little rude for them to KNOW I wasn't invited and talk about it in front of me. I digress, though.
The girls planned for everyone to go out for drinks tonight for his last day. They planned this three days ago. They were talking about it at lunch yesterday and almost like 'crap, does she have to come' told me everyone was going. It wasn't necessarily an invite but a 'I guess since your at the table we'll tell you'.
NOW, my thing is, I don't particularly want to go. This weekend is my birthday weekend and tomorrow night is my fun little gathering in the city. The Rangers play the Islanders again and that's a pretty awesome game to watch on daddo's new tv. So I'm thinking, of no, I'm not going and dealing with all the petty bull shit and quite frankly, besides one or two of the associates, I don't particularly care about anyone of them. Let alone want to spend my time with them.
However, would I look like bitch o' the year if I didn't go?
I just want it to be Saturday when I can be with the people who I REALLY REALLY adore....ya know?

Well it's Monday. That about sums everything up, so perfectly.
It's also Monday, September 10th, which makes tomorrow an anniversary. I've written before about the effect 9/11 has had on my life and yet it seems each year the impact doesn't lessen. Instead of fear for my father's life, these past few years, I've worried about good friends fighting a war, even the people I don't know fighting a war I question. I decided to be more pro-active this year and donated money to The Yellow Ribbon Fund, I found out a little bit about this foundation through the Colbert Report and decided it was a more than deserving cause.

So, instead of talking about how scary it was, pondering what's next, or anything just negative, I'm going to try and have a positive 11th. Every day with my father is a gift. For the sixth year since 9/11/01 over 50 survivors will be at my house celebrating life, each other and the freedom and liberty we are granted by our troops work in the past and present. It's a pretty special day each year and there isn't one person you talk to who isn't grateful for the smallest things in life. While one day scared and scarred me more than another, it made me stronger. It made my appreciation of the small things stronger.
For that I will be eternally grateful.

Friday night with the cousins was alot of fun. It was great just catching up and having a laugh and a pint. We all agreed we def. need to do little things like that more often. We stayed out relatively later than usual, but it was well worth it.
Yesterday I finally watched 'Four Brothers' per
babyomlet, and I will say it was ok, the youngest brother was def. a hottie and just good eye candy, but overall, I don't think I could repeat watch as Ms. Amy did.I also had 'Extras' which I had never seen before. Hilarious, just hilarious! I have now added The Office, the English version.
Today is pretty dull and the weather is crappy so I'm puddling along online.
As for the boy situation...well, this week I just didnt pay attention to any. It was a boo-tee-full thing.
This post was pretty pointless, but sometimes these kind of posts remind me to just breathe.
One of my guilty pleasure shows is back with new episodes, My Boys, on TBS, love it! So, I think the new episode is on tonight. Mucho happy about that.
Right.
Pointless post over.

After spending a quite weekend with friends and fam, and then dealing with the nonsense of some of my girl "friends" , I literally read their e-mails as they poor in, or listen as they go on and on and wonder-- was I ever this freaking annoying (I'm sure I was), was I ever this depressing to listen to (I'm sure I was).. honestly, I want to shake some of them and say 'Honey, we all have bad days but making a big fuss over something small is just plain stupid'.
Seriously.
Instead of half full, I'm surrounded by these depressing people who are overwhelming siding with the half empty side of the glass. I put into perspective my life to theirs, things they have had to deal wtih and still, I'm not getting it. I think it's totally a-ok to be Debbie the Downer every once in a while, but the good lord save me, every freaking day, over every little thing?
Ok. 'nough of that.
Colette is having her graduation party the night of graduation. Our ceremony is at 1 p.m. on Friday, May 18. Her party is at 8 p.m. that night. My problems- 1) the party is right by where I work, and near school.--not a fun bar. 2) I am going out with mucho amounts of family and friends to lunch after the graduation and then heading back home with select members of family, friends and *Win* for champagne and just go me time. So now I have to reply to her party -no. I know I shouldn't feel bad, but I sort of do. I was talking with Win about this, asking if maybe I should show-up and he advised in a much more evil tone that she just wasn't worth it and that my day means more to me for so many different reasons and since she's poo-poo'ing the whole thing why would I just go to just go. He's def. not a happy camper after the way she's treated me thus far.
I am doing a night in the city, just getting a crazy ass suite and staying in or going to a bar/club very near by. Relaxed--just like I like it. I got my vacation approval and I will be heading to the Cape and jolly o' England this summer. Def. looking forward to that.
I better get back to work, but before I do, while Win was here over Easter. We went out, down in my old neighborhood. Colette got introduced, as we incidentally ran into her. I go to the bathroom and no joke, she's all over him like white on rice. Un beknownst to her when we've gone there in the past I've made friends with the bartenders..who were more than happy to fill me in on exactly what she said to Win--that I was pathetic and that he could do so much better. He looked down at her (she's short) and said 'You do realize that everything that comes out of your mouth is pure rubbish and quite frankly looking at you and your torrid idea of an attractive outfit, is making me feel bloody well sick'. Yes, he is the man when it comes to being so properly English and so mean at the same time. She now calls him an asshole. I think he's even dreamier than before--am I horrible for that?
PS Rangers play tonight--keep your fingers crossed!

So.... little misses who I occasionally go out with have their panties in a twist. Alas, I realize--who the eff cares?
I really did want to go out tonight if only to run into the 'boy' again, with no confirmation that he would actually be there. But, alas, no one is willing to go out tonight. Colette is going out with a different group of friends and has been acting MORE than strange towards me for a bit. Sarah wants to go out with her other friends up by her.
And being of right mind, I refuse to go by myself. Alas, I may never see the 'boy' again.
I hate liking a boy I barely know. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.
I wish there was a drug to take it allll away. All the BS panty twisters and the dumb boy who won't leave my freakin' mind!

That being said, I've come to the scary realization that some people I've or still do call friends are just plain ol' shady
I don't appreciate being treated like I'm something different inside work and totally different outside work.
That being said, I've come to the realization that I've lost a lot of faith in the people around me.
I hate doubting myself. I hate feeling like I've done something to cause certain behaviors.
That being said--what the hell is wrong with people? How can anyone expect to keep friends if they act so bi-polar (no offense to any one person who suffers from the condition, just trying to make a point). There are days, including this one, where I just want to rip my hair out.
There is a certain point that a person can be pushed before a backlash..and my friends, I'm teetering on the edge for the past couple of days and it isn't pretty.

1. I know that you have family in Ireland - were you born there, or here? And how did your immediate family end up in the U.S.?
Myself and both of my parents are American born. However, my dad lived in Ireland for 3 years while he was younger. He would have lived their the rest of his life but his older brother got sick and the whole family headed back to the Bronx. My uncle moved over there after serving in Nam, and we have about a million cousins and second and third cousins over there. My grandmother moved back and lived there until she died. because of my grandmother I was eligible for dual citizenship so I took it due to land left to me by family. We own a pretty large amount of acres and I spent almost every summer in Ireland for
2. What is your fondest memory from your childhood?
2. What is your fondest memory from your childhood?
You know there are so many when I think about it, so I'll go with the three that are the MOST memorable:
1. Being 4 years old in Washington DC and walking up to the Lincoln Memorial singing "Lincoln, Lincoln, I've been thinking, what the heck have you been drinking..." etc. Def. still gets laughs now
2. On one of the properties back in Ireland we rented out a hay barn and we used to play in the hay for hours making names for the tunnels, etc. It's something I'll never forget
3. Sitting with my dad and outside on the roof, of all places, looking at the sky and him telling me I could go farther than the stars, I could do anything I wanted. that in reality the world was lucky to have me.
Probably, a HUGE penthouse somewhere in the downtown NY...but if I was just going for relaxation, probably the East Coast somewhere right on the water with beautiful views and amazing space to decorate :)
Want to be interviewed? Just leave a comment.
3. What is your most heartfelt wish for your future?
Just to be healthy- I really really dream of the day where I don't have to worry ALL that much about panic attacks and cysts, etc. That I can be ok, just being me.
4. What do you think is the most unique characteristic about you - what makes you YOU?
Good question, Sherlock. My most unique characteristic is that I do everything 100%, I love 100%, I give 100% and I try 100%. I think the best way to describe me is something of a contradiction. Consistent positives (I'm confident and smart) with consistent negatives (I'm insecure and question my decisions) but I love the people around me with an unconditional love that I think they feel and I always try to find the good in the bad.
5. If you could afford to live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Super good mascara?

So. The rest of the weekend was ok. I went out with Colette on Saturday night back in the neighborhood I miss so much! And we had an OK time. She's a little obsessive over having guys around constantly and I'm much more laid back and like to chat with the bartenders...who I got to know while I was living there (and some new cute ones too). Ran into one guy I met weeks back who took my number then didn't call and got the glory of him noticing I'd lost weight and was looking good. Had the glory of walking away from him and then chatting it up with the cute bartender, but still, Colette and the need for boyz constantly is a bit--desperate and too much, ya know? Where the hell are all the relaxed people? The one's who fit the bill in my life are taken..so I rephrase--the relaxed single people? My word!
Dr.'s appointments a plenty this week and next. They found another two cysts and they are testing everything under the sun because they 'can't understand how I'm not losing weight at a quicker pace when the working out is FAR increased and my eating habits are close to perfect'. So that's fun. Then I had to sit down with my 'head' doctor who actually made me cry..because she was stating that it seems I haven't come to terms with the effects PCOS has had on my life. So, I looked up a few natural vitamins I can take that should help with that and hope (crosses fingers) that it helps, if only a little.
Work is on a steady flow but dull. and The Rangers are losing left and right--except for Saturday which was AMAZING.
FYI-boy never called, texted or wrote on the myspace...so ce la vie, I say.
School starts next week and then the countdown ala graduation begins---finally!

Anyhoodleehoo, it's only noon and all my work is done. Looking through the internet doesn't hold my attention for long--I've read every newspaper we have too. Looked at online ones. Even read through the law journals we get. Did some homework- that took up time. After my lunch break (which starts at 1) I'll debate starting to write my midterm for Philosophy.
I don't know how ANYONE could major in Philosophy, it drives me banannas in a not-so-Gwen-Staffani-way bannanas to even try and write a 6 page paper about Aristotle and put real life meanings in there.
The Rangers lost two days ago, since I last posted. Here's to hoping we get a win tonight. For some reason even more devoutly following this year than last, go figure.
After the crash yesterday I called my brother and said mushy I love yous, to which he threatened if I ever did such again, he would murder me. Love then murder---sounds like a Lifetime movie!
OH and on a side note I hate hate hate Willa Ford--she dated Nick--when I liked that dumb ass I didn't like her. Now she's dating Mike Modano--my Dallas Star. I no longer respect him and just ewww.
So yeah. that's the side note... write it down, there will be a quiz later.
