And it's a restaurant! TGI Fridays!

I got another job today.

I am a per diem employee at the Disney Store. That means I get to work a couple times a week, couple times a month, whatever works for me. The only real requirement is that I have to work at least one shift every 90 days...and I get a discount which will be nice for the holidays. (I have cousins aged 1, 2, 3 and 5, all girls.)

Yeah. When I wiped the blood away yesterday I discovered it was cracked to the middle of the nail, haha.

We won third place in our Ethics Bowl (out of 18 teams). We were the favorite team among the philosophy professors (and our political science professor...we called ourselves Dr. ___'s Army [Harry Potter reference...]) and it was an awful lot of fun. Then I found out, that one of the teams that went on to the final round, we were talking to one of them who was the only political science major who wasn't on our team, and I lamented the fact that we didn't get this one case because I had such a good philosophical response for it. I shared some of what I was going to say with this person and told him to use it if the case came up in the final round...he apparently used it and they won. I'm rather proud of myself...though it would have been nice if they had used that case one round earlier... All of the political science majors made it to at least the top three, which I thought was quite the accomplishment.

Pre-law students are not traditionally the most ethical people in the world...

Thank goodness/God it's Friday.

Thanks guys.

Um...am I the only one here who doesn't know what TGIF means? Yeah...erm...I feel dumb now.

Sorry to hear about your toenail, Shade.

I broke my toe by dropping a weight on it once. I was little and didn't think to move my foot out of the way.

I've done that. Except it was a cinder block. And the skin rotted away from the nail and it fell off.

I think my toenail is falling off. I dropped a heavy case on it a month ago (all the weight on the corner of the box, on my toe). It weighed about 20 pounds I think. Turned black. Have I said this before? I stubbed it last night and thought nothing of it hurting, until it wouldn't stop and seemed to be getting worse. Took my shoe off...and it was bleeding. Not just through the top or sides of the toenail, but through the bottom, too. Yeah. Dislodging the nail. Fun. I wish I had epsom salt..

I am sorry to hear that YV. :[

I am punished this weekend. For going to a quiz bowl practice. Most parents would be overjoyed at their kids participating in something like quiz bowl, but no, not my mother. She almost didn't let me go to my best friend's party tonight. I think the only reason she let me was because she is moving to Baltimore in the summer and it is her last birthday here.

Or a feather...

I wholeheartedly agree with you on that one.

Although I have so much homework (Spanish, brief, philosophy paper, philosophy homework) and work (Sat on call 10-2, shift 3:30-8:30; Sun shifts 9-11, 3-7 [which I think is ridiculous]) this weekend, that I'm not sure how relaxing and fun it is going to be...

Then there are the 10 community service hours I need to do. I'm not really sure how those are going to get done. I do all sorts of service, just not anywhere that my professor will count. He wants us to work with people who are disadvantaged, "poor people," which means that I need to head into the city to find such organizations, meaning I have to add on an additional hour for driving every time I do my service. Plus, organizations aren't really looking for short-term help, particularly around the holidays when everyone is suddenly charitable and service-oriented. I think I will just end up going to the nearby assisted living center and spending time with some of the residents without much family...

I'm sorry, YV. But everything will work itself out in the end...

So this has been a really off week for me. I'd be walking up a staircase at school, only to realize the class I'm going to is downstairs. Or I'd be trying to write something, only to realize I was trying to write with the thin end of a comb. =\

TGIF.

I'm sorry, YV.

I have so much that I should be doing...I have "Ethics Bowl" tomorrow which is where we form teams and have to answer ethical questions where we're scored on how well we answer it. Then my American Politics professor hinted that we may have a reading quiz, so I need to actually do the reading.

Plus there's my room...I'm rather sick of living in my own filth.

So my brothers wife moved unexpectedly with the baby and now we wont be able to see her.

This year sucks.

So despite the fact that I forgot tape and extra index cards this morning (to complete my argument folder...which isn't necessary for just a regular moot court, but looks nice and is SO functional), my argument went very well. We lost, but seeing as how the Court makes up their minds before they read our brief or hear our arguments...everyone knew we won despite what the Court said.

My philosophy professor gave me an extension on my homework assignment and my paper, which is SUCH a relief.

I have another headache though...

You aren't supposed to be online Cuervo. If you are, stop ignoring all my IMs.

Gah! Don't read stuff like that. You'll just convince yourself you have it!

Reading about Manic Depressive Disorder worries me.

Especially the parts that say "contact a doctor if you experience most or all of these symptoms"

Well then what about the civil unions one, hm?

Today has been one of the worst.

School went very well. Then I was at the dollar store buying stuff for my Operation Christmas Child box, when I got a call from my mom. My sister was contemplating suicide yesterday and she was flying home early from Florida and I had to pick up my sister and take her to an emergency psych appointment.

I ended up having a nervous breakdown in the counseling office at Sarah's school while talking to the transition counselor I used to tutor with.

I feel so bad that my mom has to come home.

I have so much homework and I just want to be able to take a nap...but I don't have time. I have a 25 minute oral argument to prepare for and a homework assignment for philosophy. Tomorrow is the last day I can turn in a draft of my philosophy paper...SO not going to happen.
