I'm currently sitting at my case manager's desk, chillin'. Basically, it's the time of the year, between holidays, when no one really has work to do... it's either already been done or has been put off until after the New Year. Okay, she (the case manager) just passed by and read what I had written so far and was really upset that I called her a "case manager." She thinks it's gross. I dunno.
REGARDLESS, I don't have anything to do right now, but tomorrow, my team is going to be drowning in work. I really don't like this... wasting time because there is actually nothing to do, only to be rushed at the last minute because all the essential work was dumped on us at once... I know I'll end up working on New Year's Eve night. Whatever, as long as I can get out of here by 7:30 or 8, I'll be okay.

I'm definitely alone in New York City. How weird is this?...
I definitely wasted this weekend. I wanted to choreograph, go work out, read some books. All I did was veg, watch TV, and eat. I mean, I'm not complaining, chillin' is good... but still. I went in to work today, I have to go in tomorrow as well. It's not really bad at all, it's just weird. I dunno.
I have no food or beverage in my apartment. Just the Brita pitcher.
I'm boring. Signing off...
WAIT!!! Merry Christmas, everyone!!!

And another thing... I haven't gone to the gym in a week and a half. True, I don't really deal well with weights (any comments, Kyle?), but I feel unhealthy. Disgusting. But when I get home from work, or have an extremely rare free weekend, I don't want to do anything but sit down or sleep. Get motivated, Amit... get up, do SOMETHING.

Hi everyone.
So, I'm in New York City. I work. And sleep.
AND THAT'S IT!
I haven't really danced that much since I moved here in July. I haven't seen a Broadway show. I've gone to the same clubs the rare times I actually go out. This ISN'T the way it's supposed to be. This is NYC, where the lights are always on. Something is always happening, and when it happens, I'm either at my desk logging correspondence or court pleadings into some database, running around for some attorney, eating take-out chinese food (GO NOODLE!) in front of my television, or sleeping. Exciting, no? Is it a problem that my DAD calls me and tells me I need to be taking advantage of the city more than I am? I mean, what is THAT? My dad, the amazing, but anti-social, person that he is, telling ME I need to get out more? That's a sign.
I leave New York City in about (calculating, calculating...) 7 months or so... I'll be done with this job that I don't necessarily dislike, but isn't challenging at all for law school. I assume that I'll be studying my ass off and whatnot in the three years wherever it may be (my only option, SO FAR, is Georgetown... one down, six left), and then I'll start working. Work work work. Don't get me wrong, having a paying purpose in life was never a horrible thing... but sometimes all I want to do is go to a rehearsal again. Angie and I spoke during work yesterday, talking about when we were going to start choreographing for our potential gig in Michigan at the end of March. Is it weird that that's the ONE THING I have to look forward to until I move away from here? New Yorkers, please let me know what I'm missing.

Big weekend... big. I just spent this weekend in Ann Arbor. It was fantastic, went to the Greenie concert (with special guest funKtion!), the Amazin' Blue concert, and this spoken word thing that Babbs did. It was all great. First of all, it was great seeing Erica and Mikki again. It was phenomenal going to the concert and watching my people give it their all... I have to admit, though, that I was CRAZY jealous... I would love to be performing again, but whatever, I guess you can't do everything you love all the time (explain THAT one to me.) It was great to see all the Greenies, it was great to see FunKtion. Can we talk about how great FunKtion's choreography was? It was fantastic, I was really impressed. I would consider coming back to Michigan for law school, simply for the possibility of being in FunKtion again... of course, I would have to actually be ACCEPTED to Michigan first.
Speaking of... one other kind of great thing happened this weekend. I got my first response from a law school... an acceptance, no less! This means one of many things... I don't have to apply to schools other than the seven I was initially interested in attending. Thank god. It also means that no matter what, I'm set. I'm thrilled.

This is me, now really REALLY nervous about law school crap. I finished applying a while ago. I find out from one of the schools in the next few weeks... sometime between Dec. 11th and Jan. 11th, I think. Regardless, if I don't get into that school, then I need to start reevaluating the schools I applied to. I've pretty much set myself up for disappointment in this entire application process, but if I get into atleast ONE of the SEVEN I originally applied to, I'll be thrilled. My stomach hurts.
