the schedule

wife is now in minneapolis. why, I do not know. the president of iceland had a meeting with the boss today a few doors down. always cool to see swarms of cops and bomb dogs.
...
today has been so busy. 9 to about 12 was a committee hearing with all the oil execs. 12-1 was some chinese television luncheon. 1-2 phones. 2-4 was a judicial subcommittee on the constitutional amendment for marriage, which passed by the way and will now go to the full committee. finally i work on letter crap. the apartments had cleaning checks last week which were total bullshit. oh yeah, i let the usu lady know. we scored like 50.1%. it was the homo eric from upstairs who is slightly retarded when it comes to seeing if something is clean or not. he's the "r.a." who basically does nothing and gets cheap rent.
...
end of day with nothing but a headache to show for it. natalie h made a good point today that probably the worst thing terrorists could do it simultaneously set off car bombs on the bridges that lead into the district. not sure if it would completely shut down the government like she says, but would sure slow it down for quite some time. i was able to check off seventeen senators today between both hearings. still not even halfway there though. kinda started late in the game.

starting to not even care about exercising now. been running for almost a year straight, and i'd be lying if i said i can really see results from it. and why set all these stupid goals for running and riding? i have no desire to run a marathon. running from sf to boston would be cool some day, however i doubt i'd ever have the time, $, or ability to carry it out. plus there would be no way to keep the ipod running that whole time. i've been fat, or chubby, or had a gut, or whatever you want to call it my whole life. i think my body just wasn't designed to be flat like most other guys. after all the running i've done, even my legs are still big.

i realized today, well, i've known for sometime but was reaffirmed today, that so much time is wasted in the senate. the marriage amendment is sure not to pass. there is no question from both sides. yet years are spent going through subcommittees and committees hashing it out. then we will waste a day of floor time debating it and having the futile vote. senator ensign had an amendment today that states congress believes that no chemical weapons are used during any riots in the u.s. by police. that is all it does. who cares is what i say. if i were senator, i would just stand there in protest and not vote. then if retards later on cry about me not supporting it, i'd tell them my constituents deserve me to not waste their time with useless legislation. voting yes or no to this crap does nothing, so not voting would be more beneficial in my eyes than any yay or nay.

managed to get one of my lowest lsat scores ever on this week's practice test. go me. and my nose itches. almost as bad as getting that score. i hate when my nose itches because it never stops. not sure why i'm so stupid and can't figure this lsat thing out. maybe it really is an indication that law school is not for me. so at this point i don't know what to do. well i know what i will do, but it's just going to suck. school and exams have generally always been a walk in the park for me. this is a nice reality check i suppose. one month from now i'll be waiting for my score. one month from now i'll probably be getting around to actually posting this. two months from now i will have hopefully wrapped up applying to basically all the community college law schools out there. three months, and everyday will include a dreaded walk to get the mail so i can open rejection letters. oh yeah, while busting my ass with seventeen credits for two degrees that i'm not sure will be any use. by the way, spring schedule will be:

LEGL 3890 - Certified Legal Assistant Preparation
LEGL 2300 - Computerized Legal Research
LEGL 2000 - Culture of Law
CJ 4990 - Criminal Justice Senior Seminar
CJ 4880 - Qualitative Research Methods in Criminal Justice
CJ 3270 - Criminology

i'd go drown in my sorrows, but those rejection letters will cost me anywhere between $40 and $70 bones a piece. and it's a work night. no work friday though. there is a ski/board convention this weekend so i'll prolly hit that up friday. everyone here has really hyped down the east coast resorts, but i am still determined to take a snow day before all is said and done. i'm going running now. screw the gym. i'm a true blue outdoor runner. like i said earlier on this wonderful evening, it's pointless, however i do enjoy it for some demented reason. my luck i'll be hit by a range rover or something.
