Good News Either Way

So, since I don't have enough to do with school, work, Brownies, LSLAP, and Rugby (as my Mom sighs and shakes her head, knowing that her daughter is her own worst enemy), today I successfully ran in the LSS (Law Students Society) elections of first year representatives. I will be representing my class on the Law and Business Society executive.
Even though I know I am a fool for taking on another commitment, I was very pleased with my win. The way I see it, I was either the most eloquent and qualified candidate, and truly deserved to win, which is awesome, or it was just a popularity contest, and I won because I am pretty and fun and well liked, which is, also, awesome.

About my least favorite way to start a day...

Seeing 7:22 on my alarm clock, when I was supposed to have been at work at 7.

Note to self Re: washroom breaks

I must always remember to take a washroom break during the half hour break between my 9:00 and 11:00 classes. 12:30 was a very difficult goal to reach this morning.

A new friend I like very much...

"I'll have you know, I take my studies very seriously." - beer in left hand, yo-yo in right.

So much fodder, so little time...

After two days of Law School orientation, I could easily write a 2,500 word post. I could tell you about all the great profs I've met, all the fun clubs and organizations I want to be a part of, all the cool people I've talked to so far, and how excited I am for the next three years. I could write about how I hate public transit with a passion, and cannot believe I've condemned myself to three years of it (I am totally applying for campus housing next year). I could tell you about the only obnoxious person I've met so far, and how much I made fun of him with a much cooler individual the whole time he was talking (about himself, naturally). The cooler guy and I did a lot of eye widening and eyebrow raising. It was GLEEFULL.

Frankly though, it has been a little overwhelming, and I can't really get my head around it all quite yet. I also want to hit the hay early today, so that I am in top condition tomorrow for the afternoon beer garden and the Law Rugby Club party following. And for the valuable information provided at the orientation. Of course.

Suffice it to say that I am happy. Life is good. It's not perfect; certain circumstances could definitely be better. And I am still apprehensive about all the challenges that lie ahead. But deep down, I feel pretty damn good.
