Highlights include (in a proximate chronological order):
-Hard earned a driver's license which was pretty much a miracle to me
-Started this blog and actually worked on it
-Progressed slowly and steadily through Arrested Development and realized Buster and I are essentially the same person
-Got jobs lined up to nourish my sugar mama instinct
-Woke up to swarms of Asian carps attacking the boat on the Illinoi River
-Caught the technology bug and got myself a leapfrog upgrade (before: a 6-year-old Nokia 6020; after: a dumb Suri that discriminates against my accent)
-Camped with my rugged optics hunk who got me my first pair of hiking boots
-Got lucky and will have my first publication EVER
-Won a $5 Starbucks gift card for signing up at a dysfunctional legal research website
-Finally dressed up for the Halloween in a totally unrecognizable fashion
-Passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination after almost missing the exam because I could not find the testing center
-Played a minor role in a skit on lawyering ethics and got two fancy free lunches for my trivial brainstorming contribution
-Skipped an Estate and Trust class and did not regret for a single bit
-Channeled my inner badass RA
-Went to Bible Study consistently to play with the host's dog-like cat
-Made unsightly super-sized Chinese dumplings that claimed its roots in American mutation
-Received a random scholarship, which was probably based on the wedding cost estimate I submitted
-Joined the headless crowd on Black Friday at the Scottsdale Fashion Square
-Toured Sedona with the family and leapt across six harmless streams with audacity and agility in the very hiking boots the optics hunk bought me
-Sponsored all the energy drink purchase for the optics hunk with my RA money to bribe him into loving me unconditionally
-Watched a host of good and bad movies, lots of Chopped, and a healthy dose of reality crap; also, newly fell in love with Ryan Gosling and Conan O'Brien (who had to come after the optics hunk and Steven Colbert, unfortunately. Damn the first-in-time hierarchy!)
-Survived five finals and perfected my cramming technique to a new level (but what was I thinking at the beginning of the semester anyway?)
-Loving the optics hunk with a burning PASSIONNN and feeling blessed all the time
Among the sweet feats and pleasant surprises, I also recently learned that my dad's business partner, Mr. Bill Jones, passed away right before Thanksgiving. He was a kind and generous soul. My dad, Blake, and I stayed on his beautiful boat(s) in August and had a spectacular time there. God bless Bill and his family!
(Bill and my daddy bear, who was being cute unintentionally)
Now it is time to read for leisure, shun frozen Kashi entrees until next year, give some thought to (finally) arranging a dental appointment, and actually start to take baby steps toward our futuristic wedding (which is in the future anyway)!
