Back into the Game...

Hi All-

Sorry for the long delay in posting- I am trying to get my self in the game... and then trying to run away at the same time.

Last week was my 23rd birthday.  My friends (including- yes- the illusive law students) took me out to dinner to a hibachi grill. Soo yummy and tasty.  I also loved how they made a volcanic onion. 

Afterwards, we went back to my friend Megan's place, where we ordered insomnia cookies for dessert. An insomnia cookie is a freshly baked cookie that comes to your door by delivery with a serving of milk. Very yummy.  My friends decorated the place with party hats and favors.  I felt good to be here :-)

On my actual birthday I went to class all day and drove home. Mom made homemade manicotti and I got to hang out with my lovable family (My nepolti are STILL the cutest in the world) and play some Wii with Gina.  

Next morning I drove up to RI to see my birthday buddy and relax.  I made him funfetti cupcakes with fresca- yes fresca- instead of eggs and oil. His guy roommates could tell the difference.  Booyah for good diet recipes!!!

Now, I am back at PSU trying to figure out how to save the world- one law case at a time.  I am feeling much better with all the work, and am REALLY excited to right my closed brief for legal writing.  Our fact pattern includes a Title IX issue, sex discrimination, in a university.  More real life an issue instead of another weird fact patter based on Ferris Bueller's day off.

But all in all, things are good here.  I don't regret letting my grades slip to one of my friends (what the last post was about- oddly enough, I saw Fight Club for the first time after that post).  But, I am working on just staying in the present and not get to overwhelmed.

Hope all is well with everyone!
