the ski and snowboard exposition

my stomach still hurts from yesterday. last few days i have eaten dinner before my run, which usually makes for a more difficult run and a stomach ache afterward. last night it really hurt. not sure if this morning's delicious donut, courtesy of will, will add or subtract to my aches and pains. we are celebrating because he got a perfect score in verbal last night on the gre. he wants to go to uva (so would i), meaning he'll have to leave his job here, meaning...hmm...

anyone know anything about the new basel 2 capital accords? in a hearing and that's the subject. they are speaking a foreign language to me. this guy next to me think i'm taking notes on what this witness is saying. whenever i write, he glances over and then writes on his paper.

google earth is a dream come true. expo opens at 12 so i'm grabbing a bite to eat first. first time i had wendy's since living here. yesterday was a really tough day for me. i didn't puss out and start crying, but it was hard nonetheless. it's difficult to even think about it all. even harder to actually have a conversation with k about it. she is always extremely optimistic about everything. "it'll all work out and everything will be okay" is what i can picture her saying. and what if it doesn't? i look at all the other interns and they are set. mikel will probably get the deputy press secretary job in hatch's office. brak is just the type who is destined for good things because he is such a doer. candice just gets whatever she wants from her family and her husband will have no trouble taking care of her. and emily is still so young and already she has this internship on the hill. and maybe they have more hardships than i realize, but this is all what it seems like to me. we've invested so much time and money into me getting into law school. and i'm such a stingy bastard when it comes to wasting money. hopefully i'll start the letter this weekend even though i still have little direction of where to go with it. do i bring up the lsat score? (no, i don't have a score yet but i know what it will be) should i focus on the internship? family? snowboarding? kidding. i have zero, count them, zero extra curricular activities. i'm not active in any clubs, don't feed homeless, build homes, tutor, or give my time to anyone. my stomach hurt like a bitch all day yesterday too. carried over from the night before. i did get to see senator clinton outside my office for a minute and i was star struck. it's time. off to the expo.
...
been a good day so far. expo was pretty good. crappy booths, but the warren miller movie was amazing. i don't mind admitting how much of a newbie i am to the sport, so i first heard of him last year. lots of catching up to do. can't even wait though to get back on the lifts. picked up a few dvds so i'm stoked like no other. also got two free lift tickets to bryce and one of three others out here. who knows if they'll be good or if there will even be snow, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed. now at the air and space museum hanger over at dulles. highlights include a concorde, space shuttle enterprise, sr71 blackbird, and the enola gay. the enola gay. currently in line to go up a control tower. 165' high. will be able to see the planes coming into dulles.

well that was neat. lots of trees. lots of planes. what if i just never open my lsat score when i get it? i wish it was tomorrow so i could just get it done with. i guess if i don't know my score, i don't know where to apply to. i'm sure i can figure out where i'll be applying without much difficulty. i'm starting to really think about kids too. air and space hanger doesn't have enough hands on stuff. i guess that is what the one on the mall is for, but there is an air traffic control exhibit and it's pretty lame.
