Need a little wisdom?

You have to laugh at this. Found this on one of the many blogs I read. Sorry for the short posts, but soooon I will give you one long amazing, colourful cmac post.

Soo much reading to do- this is my new song on repeat.

countdowns.

7 days left of class. 


29 days until France. 


44 days until Spain. 


Amy is going to grace us with her presence on here with a guest blogging appearance one of these days. She will give you the lowdown on the crazy events of the last week - including the amazing weekend away in London town. So I am sorry for the disappearance- but soon I will have so much to blog about while I am attempting to procrastinate. xo cmac

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Travel is on your mind at the moment and even if you can’t get away right now you will be making plans for the summer. Don’t make plans just for yourself – make plans for loved ones too. Surprise them with a mystery vacation.

I just got home form an impromptu shopping trip with my partner in crime, Geronimo. We both have France on the brain- and our wardrobe choices are expanding because of it! We didn't even make it out of H&M today. But we were both successful and thankfully their prices keep me from feeling too guilty... So many cute outfits for spring- now if only it was warm enough to wear them. But really the last week has been filled with sunshine and even the tiniest bit of warmth- but today the clouds made a return. Unfortunate. 

I have some readings to do- analyzing law always brings up the touchy topics. This week: the cost of unwanted children. How do you feel about parents claiming damages for the cost of raising a child they took steps to avoid having? I can already feel the tension that will result from that discussion. So I should get back to that. Then I need to get organized for this weekend- I have outfits to plan and laundry to do. Oh and we are hosting the Beer Olympics here tomorrow afternoon...I promise to tell you how that goes :)

All I want to do in plan everything for France, but papers and readings are getting in my way. Sorry to have kept you wait so long, only to give you a short blurb, but things have been hectic around here. Only two more weeks of classes left- isn't that insane? ...followed by essentially a month and a half to study- then exams- then home. But mixed in there are fun things I am sooo looking forward to. 


This weekend I am off to see my mom and dad in London! We are staying at a gorgeous hotel, seeing Mamma Mia (fingers crossed) and shopping up a storm. I miss them so much, so it will be a nice treat, but really I feel like christmas was just a few weeks ago! 


After London, my next treat will be France- which I cannot stop thinking/talking/dreaming about. The trains are booked, the first place we are staying is booked- still looking for a place in Nice and for the final two days in Paris- but that will have to wait until next week. I wish I still had a french book around- but I doubt I will be doing much of the speaking. That is what my lovely travel partner is for! 


After that, and somewhere amongst exams I am hoping to getaway with the girls to Spain- but that is still in the early stages of planning. I will keep you updated for sure. And I am already thinking of things to do over the summer- everything is more exciting than doing my work :)


I have been trying to find new music, but with no time to even straighten my hair these days, it seems like I have come up with nothing of interest. EXCEPT I love Adele (see the song below) and I am toying with the idea of loving the new Radiohead- but I am still undecided. But it did get me through a night of writing an essay on judicial review- so that must count for something. 


Okay, breaks over. Hope you are all well. Crazy weather. Crazy natural disasters. Will discuss later.

A thought.

Fast forward to 6:17 and see if you can agree? and feel free to disagree. He is quite well spoken and I feel like even if you don't agree with his critique in the first 6 minutes, you can appreciate the truth in the next 2.

Ketchup.

So much to talk about!

First off: The Law Ball.
(Click here to see the full album)
..but these are a few of my favs...

As you can see- it was a lot of fun. Everyone looked fabulous, there were no disasters (other than a few small table fires...) and the alcohol was flowing. So much so that we danced the whole night away in the mandatory high heels and somehow made it home (thanks diaz). So overall- a great success!

Now the other thing I have been meaning to do is show you all my new favourite blogs that keep me busy when my eyes wander off my law books. I've been neglecting these readings in lieu of my law ball duties and the piles of textbooks- but there is something so wonderful about catching up on them all. I've already gushed about my love for Cupcakes and Cashmere, but from there I've just found this delicious food blog Smitten Kitchen and a lovely blog I already mentioned as well, Just a Silhouette. Then there is a silly little blog carr showed me- which I read whenever I need a good chuckle- Hyperbole and a Half. And in response to Geronimo's shout out- take a look at her fantastic blog- (Sweet) Disposition. She also showed me this insanely gorgeous blog- Sea of Shoes, which directed us to this online site with so many thing I want I cannot even contain my excitement- Free People. So there are some new ones for you to meander through. 

In terms of school news- we are studying some pretty interesting topics for the most part. Some new profs. Some new subjects. So much to do. But in tort we just finished defamation- which is libel and slander claims- so the protection of someone's reputation (even got to read a case against Victoria Beckham). Criminal Justice is pretty interesting- all the procedures and rules about arrest and custody and.. I feel like I'm on Law & Order sometimes :) Analyzing law is the second half of 'learning legal skills' except this is the part where we get to use our little brain and talk about hugely controversial topics. So far we've talked about a case where they had to decide if it was lawful to take a patient off life support and a case about allowing homosexuals into the army. This week: assisted suicide and operations to split conjoined twins. So no boring reading in that class, but the tutorials have potential for hurt feelings and bruised egos. 

So one more month of classes to go- and so much to look forward to. Mom and Dad will be here in a couple weeks. Annette (and maybe Mandy) in April in France. And after the horrors of exams- SUMMER! I can't wait for some sunshine- especially when it has rained essentially for two weeks straight. I'm tired of winter clothes- it's time for dresses. 

And now it's time for lunch. and more reading.. and getting off the mac.
