saturday morning update
i'm sitting here at school listening to french indie pop and munching on white chocolate espresso beans, trying to cite check a chunk of a textbook for a prof. tonight is the dreaded law school prom. i am wearing what i consider a very "risky" dress (it is both risque and risky). i would feel more confortable wearing this dress if i weighed 20 pounds less and had one of those fancy $50 super bras from victorias secret (the ultra stealth, covert convertible bra). but whatever. my dress is black and the top ties around my neck. i asked walter how it looked a few weeks ago as i was trying ti on at home, trying to decide between it and another dress. he said (i think intending on motivating me to exercise) "it kinda makes your arms look fat." well, it's been two weeks and i have not exercised. so i gues i'm gonna have to live with the fact that my arms will kinda look fat in the dress. of well.
in other news, i got a job offer for the summer, i think. it's working for the government, but on the defense side which is cool. i would be on the beach for the summer, and could probably secure funding through the school like i did last year. there are some logistical issues that give me pause, but nothing i'm too worried about. we'll see. he called late on friday and monday is a federal holiday, so i'll know more on tuesday.
and i also want to add (hat tip to vague) that i just came across one of my favorite words in this document: "behooves." i just love the way it comes out of my mouth, the funny looking way it's spelled, how the meaning seems serendipitously matched to the sound and appearance of the word. love it.
