Happy New Year!!
I've been a bad blogger lately, I know I know, but I'm back!
I had a fantastic break with the other Elves in the family (see below) and visiting friends in Minnesota (yes, it was cold, yes, I still want to live there).
Now I'm back in Beantown, where I just finished up my first week on the downhill side of law school (YESSSSSS). This semester, despite a lingering case of bronchitis, is starting off well. I think I've already read more and am more on top of things than I was last semester, ever, which is a good thing. There's the added benefit of knowing that summer, freedom, a job with money, and Minnesota are just a few short months away. Also, today is the last day of Bush being president, can I get a WHAT WHAT?
So yeah, summary: life is good, I'm coughing, I'm happy, Boston is covered in snow.

Happy Things 2008
Banana Cream Pie. I made one recently from this really old cookbook my mom has.
Boston. I promised myself I'd get out more this year, and I have. It's not a bad city! Especially if you take the T and avoid all driving. It's even kind of pretty at night from above:
Friends. There's such a difference being somewhere for a year and a half and being somewhere for only 6 months. I really think it takes that long to start to feel at home and make good friends, and now that I have, I like the living here a LOT more, even when it's finals time.
My fellowship at a children's hospital. It's been so nice to get away from the law school one day a week, and learn things just for the sake of learning them (and a nice bonus is getting credit for doing it without it requiring homework). I'm not sure if I'll go down the health law path, but it's definitely been a great experience so far, and made me even more sure I want to be doing some kind of job like this eventually (as soon as I pay off my loans).
My job next summer. The economy stinks, and I'm SO lucky to have a job lined up. A lot of my friends who are way more qualified than I am are still looking, and it makes me really grateful not to have to be worried about this (too much - I still worry they might take it away on a bi-weekly basis).
My cat. Heat's really expensive, and it's nice to have a personal heater to snuggle up to on the couch.
My little baby nephews and cousins who are all so cute and adorable and lovable and snuggly. No explanation necessary.
Barry O. Can't wait to see what happens in '09!
Scrabble. Have you played lately? I started playing online, which has now mushroomed into buying a board for my apartment and having little Scrabble parties with friends. I love having nerdy friends like me!
Mi famiglia. So cute, even when they send out a family Christmas card without picture approval.
Happy December!!

End of Semester
That time again. But I'm way less crazy this year (yessss), so I'm just sort of resigned to my fate.
And I'm in a surprisingly good mood!
Maybe it's Obama, maybe it's the unseasonably sunny weather (cold, but still bright and sunny, which is quite un-Boston), perhaps the fact that I only have 2 finals to study for.
I can't wait for the holidays to start (in a week!!!!) and see the whole family.
And I have.... PICTURES!!
Just one, for a taste. Many more to come later. I downloaded 329!

Oh yeah, and this.
I have decided to be not cynical for at least a week. Bear with me.

Still having trouble with the words...
But this totally made my day. Can I say unapologetically, I LOVE OPRAH.
