How jealous should you be if you had the opportunity to come to NYC for Memorial Day weekend and you didn't? Answer: pretty damn jealous. =)
But really, a bunch of people from Michigan came to visit this weekend... and they all crashed at my place. Other than the really big inconvenience of me having to work on Sunday, everything was really just fun and stress-free. I felt bad for them for a little bit because I have very few comfortable sleeping areas in my apartment, just lots of floor space... and although there were air-mattresses, there were, like, 10 people there. But whatever... if they had a good time, that's what matters. You guys had a good time, right? Phew. Anyway, there was lots of BBQ-ing (well, lots of time spent supposedly BBQ-ing... I think 5 burgers were made or something), lots of bubble tea, lots of turtles (are they still alive, everyone), lots of karaoke, and lots of food. I had a good time... thanks for coming, everyone! Y'all are more than welcome back anytime!
Okay, bye.

I'm full. It's true.
On another note... a little over 4 weeks left in my stint at Cravath. Now I need to start planning my summer! There is a potential opportunity for a vacation to Myrtle Beach for July 4 weekend with my friend Amy from Lancaster. And then there's my Cali trip... I'm thinking July 20-Aug. 1... something like that. I'm definitely driving out there... I've done the drive by myself before, I had a great time... but I'm wondering if I should find someone else who might want to take that road trip to Southern California with me. Books on tape v. actual human interaction... hmmm... any takers?
Then, in the second week of August, I move up to Columbia and begin my three years there. Wow. School. Again.

Sushi makes you tired. It's just what happens.

what exactly makes us take these bizarre tests? And what exactly do they say about us?
"Hi, you have too much time on your hands and you're kind of weird to be thinking the entirety of your being can be summed up by 6 questions about what colors you like to wear and the first thing you say at a party, not to mention that, according to these tests, you are a cook that can't speeek eeeeenglish very vell, you are the sweetest, stickiest, superhero in love, and you rock and you know it, although you might be a little too common." Wow. That's precise.

I'm bored.
This could be a problem.

This past weekend really took something out of me... I haven't been sick in so long, and now I am... it sucks. I hate being sick. I get whiny. So, what do I do when I get whiny?
I call my mom.
She's great about me being whiny. Go mom. She's calling back soon with the name of some medicine I should take. She's very good at that sort of thing. In fact, when you're sick, you should call my mom.
Also, I haven't done any sort of exercise in a little over a week. It's a bad situation.
On a happier note, it's Mandisa's birthday today!!! Happy Birthday, Mandisa!!! (Oh yeah, and it's Janet Jackson's birthday, too.)

Okay, my weekend was so... I can't even describe it. I was constantly having the best time and was so anxious and stressed out.
a) Sam and Palak came to visit, and they stayed with me. Let's talk about how this is the first time that anyone michigan-ish has come to visit and actually stayed with me. I never understood why no one ever stayed at my apartment, considering it's in the middle of the city and whatnot. And then Sam and Palak told me it was because I never rambunctiously offerred. I always said "oh, you can stay here if you want," but never "oh my gosh, you totally have to stay here, how great would that be, please please please!" I kind of understand that explanation, and it's better than thinking no one likes me, right? bleh. but funny. Regardless, those two are wild to have around... love LOVE chillin' with them. I have another question, though... why did we see everyone else in NYC so few times? I understand that it was Mother's Day, but I totally assumed everyone would be around all the time. Of course, Angie and Leslie went home for Mother's Day, Lynnko was packing up her entire apartment, and Karina just had previous plans. I didn't even hear from Joann. I don't know where Gerard and Randall were, (probably man-whoring, as usual) but they weren't with us. Mandisa had to work ALL weekend. Sadness, for sure.
b) my brother stresses me out completely. God love him, he's great, but he's really my polar opposite. If you wanna know the story, I'll let you know, but it's not something I wanna blog about... it makes me really antsy just thinking about it.
Okay, back to work... talk to me soon.

I haven't blogged in awhile. So... sorry 'bout that.
I've been alternately tired and busy at work. So... I don't know if that explains everything.
Why don't I talk about a few different things...
a) I love 58 Greene more and more. I'm so so SO proud of them. Not only did I recently receive the new studio CD ("Will Sing for Food"), but I also received the recording from their spring concert (the first one in 5 years that I've missed, either from virtue of actually being in the group or being an audience member), and it was phenomenal. Mad props to you guys... can we plan a performance for the Greenies at Columbia next year?
b) I'm submitting my resignation letter to HR here at Cravath sometime soon... my last day of work is probably going to be July 2nd. I don't know why I want to stop work on a Tuesday, but I do. (Tuesdays are, after all, the new Fridays.) I'm wondering what I should write in it. Something about going to law school, of course. Maybe something about my shoddy work conditions (that aren't THAT shoddy). Or maybe about how some of my attorneys are annoying. Yeah, that would work.
c) Sammy and Palak are coming into town today and tomorrow. I think they're staying at my place, but I still don't know that for sure. Could someone, i.e. Palak or Sam, get back to me about that? Danke.
I'm done, bye.
