Kat ‘n’ Mouse

These last few months of law school have been the most stressful time of my life. Law school was infinitely harder than undergraduate school, and while I loved learning (everything but Civil Procedure…) it was really hard to keep up with everything and to be on the ball and feel prepared for the exams. I don’t think I did well at all on one of them, and the others I’m not sure about. I don’t find out until the second week of January how I did.

My last exam was Friday. I spent the weekend catching up on the internet stuff I’d let slide – did a few critiques over at critiquecircle, posted a new scene of my novel (Tower of Nine), relaxed with a few of the comics I’ve been reading (Finder’s Keepers, Gunnerkrigg Court), and picked up a book from the library (Faefever, which wasn’t as good as I’d hoped — which, unfortunately, was about what I expected with that series: the author loves to drag out mysteries for whole books, and it ended on a cliffhanger. I hate being jerked around and I detest when a single book doesn’t have a coherant storyline – one of my biggest pet peeves with Laurel K. Hamilton).

Today, I’ve gotten back into the swing of real life. Errands!

• Went out to breakfast with my mom at the local diner, got the beef stew special and motzarella sticks. MMm.
• Got my driver’s license renewed and changed over to the horizontal “over 21!” style. The picture is horrible (I have NEON yellow hair in the image, somehow), but that’s to be expected, and the actual trip to the DMV was painless. I don’t think I was there more than 20 minutes, and there was a parking lot right out front.
• Went shopping with my mom, and found my favorite kind of after-dinner mints, that I can never find. Score one for Christmastime.
• Dropped off my library book.
• Scrubbed the hard-water stains off of the shower, yay!
