"Get your life together. You have twenty-four hours."

The tagline is exactly how I feel.

I was going through facebook and reliving everything that's happened over the past year. In doing so, I guess I started to remember everything I was supposed to be doing this year. My conflicted feelings over where I want to be-- China, Japan, America, Argentina. And I don't feel any closer to knowing than I was months ago.

It also turns out that a boy I tutored in China, Cyrus, is here in Boston! Which is utterly ridiculous. Well, the boy does have loads of money, so I never thought the opportunity would be an issue. But he was supposed to be doing his internship in Shanghai...yet he's already here!

I really have to go see him as soon as possible but Bank of America has refused to post my pay-check deposit so...we'll have to wait. 'Cause, when you meet up with Chinese people in your own country, you have to treat them and stuff...gotta make sure I have my financial situation together.


But back to the confusion. I really need to keep my options open. I really should be making sure my Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese are in as good a shape as they can be...and they're not, because I don't do more than what's required. So I will be studying all day today.

I also need to get to prepping for LSATs. A friend of mine got her results back and they were not good. I've been hiding from them-- hiding from everything, really, but the LSATs are the biggest. GREs are second. I will be downloading a prepbook today.

Luckily it's still early. Maybe I can get some studying done this morning before I have to do my homework.

And boy, is there homework.
--Poli Sci paper
--finish reading Haruki Murakami and making up questions[Japanese]
--prep for & take Chinese [take home] test and read the next short story
--chunks of philosophy reading & discussion board posting
--catch up in reading for my anime class

The last one might be negotiable.

Feeling really motivated, but I know how my brain works-- I'll forget soon.

And...the Velvet Rope is amazing.
Cheers.

Bank of America sucks, but if you deposit your paycheck in an ATM it gets deposited automatically and you can start spending. I know, I don't get it either, but I gotta get paid son.

Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Next time I come to Boston you better treat me! No McDonald's this time, haha.

I feel you on the language thing. I might stop Spanish just because I have no interest in it whatsoever, I think unless I'm learning a new alphabet I can't get into a language. I started studying Arabic, I think I might want to take that up. I'd do Chinese but combined with Japanese I assume each kanji would have multiple readings and that's some bull, yo.

OMG Steven,

You want to know how silly I am? I thought to get into law school I just needed a great ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPT! Then, I found out I had to take the LSAT. I thought I took the LSAT as a component to the bar exam!

What are you studying in Law school? Law, obviously. But are you concentrating in any type of law in particular?
