the end
It's finally happened. I've had a breakdown, breakthrough, reformation, realization, whatever you want to call it. I reached the end of my rope and have tossed it all in. Okay, so this isn't really a breakthrough: it's a mere reprise. Remeber my last entry? Where I pledged that, absent a divine revelation, I was going to quit law school at the end of the first semester? And the entry before that, where I pledged that I had finally, for the twelve-millionth time, renounced law school? Well . . .I'm almost ashamed to admit it. Here I am. Entrenched in the finals of...

the smell of decomposing bananas...is taking over my senses
Wow, I bet you thought this thing would never get updated...in fact, I nearly forgot about this whole endeavor, until recent stress has driven me to find means of relief other than just sleeping (which I don't really have time for) and eating (which invokes a vicious cycle of guilt-complexes). I came to the realization that 19 credits is a bit much. Especially since, although I'm technically at 19 credits, I only get actual credit for 18, because I do not want to have to pay more than the absorbitant amount that I've already bled for . . .what? Oh yeah, an education, which...
