5:33 pm	good news I got invited to join a chapter of the Inns of Court. For those not in law, its a national professional organization comprised of judges, lawyers and law students. It meets once a month for dinner and a presentation. You also are split into a smaller group that is led by a judge or lawyer who acts as a mentor. I'm excited because I think it will be a really good opportunity to meet more members of the local legal community. Ha I know I'm a dork to be excited about something like this :). They don't take many student members in the organization so I'm very flattered that they were impressed enough by my resume and references. It makes me think that perhaps I will be a successful and respected lawyer after all. Well that's my good news for the week. Current Mood: happy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:27 pm	fun times       I got to hang out with Hilary who I hadn't seen in awhile and her friend Sarah this Saturday. We had a fun little girls night. We were gonna go see Bourne Supremacy but it was sold out. So we settled for a carb fest at California Pizza Kitchen. Well carb fest for me cause Hilary and Sarah had salads. Something just feels unnatural about getting a salad at a place called California Pizza Kitchen. Then off to a cigar shop to get some little rum flavored cigars. The man at the cigar shop asked if we smoked cigars. I felt like telling him no we just came in here to touch stuff. That's like asking someone at a liquor store if they drink alcohol. So then it was off to a trendy, yuppie little bar/sushi restaurant called Mao. While we were outside having a cigar some middle aged sat by us and they were a total trip. Apparently when they own a share in some strip club in Denver and asked if we wanted to go to that club. They told us we could go in the VIP room if we went. We politely declined.       After that we went to Roo Bar and ran into one of Sarah's exes. So since her current bf was meeting us we decided we'd play a game called guess which guy is Sarah's ex when he got there. I was impressed that he guessed right on the first try. So Sarah's ex mentions he went to catholic high school in Philly. Of course I mention I went to catholic all girls hs. Not surprisingly the first thing the guys ask is whether I still have the skirt. I always wondered why guys had that fetish so much. I hated wearing those kilts and they made everyone look fatter. I found nothing attractive about it but apparently all guys do. I guess it's that innocent but not really innocent image that guys find attractive. Current Mood: content Current Music: Ashlee Simpson Pieces of Me (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:24 pm	tonight really put things in perspective        Tonight I heard Audrey Nelson speak about her book You Don't Say: Navigating Nonverbal Communication Between the Sexes.  It was one of those situations where someone says something that seems so intuitive once you actually stop to think about it.  I really gained some new perspective about how I can improve communication with both sexes.  There were so many things that I never really thought about but once she brought them up I was like oh wow that is so true.         She had us do an exercise where you were partnered up and one person stood still and the other approached until the person standing still said stop.  The point of this exercise was to show that women generally stood the closest to other women, while men and women stood a farther distance from one another and men stood the farthest away from other men.  The point of it was to show that men are far more homophobic than women in our society.  This can also be seen in the fact that men are generally much more guarded in their conversations with one another compared to women.  I can remember countless trips where my mom would have a convo with a stranger somewhere and find out about their kids, age, job etc and my dad is just like how did you know all that.        One thing I've heard before but had forgotten until recently was that when men listen to a problem they are trying to solve it, while women are looking more for feelings and emotions when they listen.  This made me think of conversations with my Dad.  I realize now that he wasn't trying to be an ass but he just naturally was inclined to fix things.  I didn't always need someone to go fix it though.  Sometimes you just need someone to listen.  I also understand now why Jake was so frustrated when he felt like he could not help me with my negative thinking.        One point she brought up that really hit home was that women have a tendency to say one thing but their non verbal cues mean another thing.  I realize that I've done this quite a bit in the past out of fear.  I think it is harder for women to be asssertive because if we speak our minds we risk being called a bitch.  I've seen both men and women label women as bitches for speaking their minds.  I think tonight was very valuable because it made me really reflect on a lot of my relationships.    (2 Comments |Comment on this)

4:24 pm	memories "The Boys Of Summer" Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm drivin' by your house Though I know you're not at home But I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream Remember how you made me crazy? Remember how I made you scream Now I don't understand what happened to our love But babe, I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back." I thought I knew what love was What did I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go but- I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:16 pm	torn It's hard living so far away from old college friends and family at times. Ha well sometimes with family it can be a good thing to have distance. Today I talked to my college friend Ashley. She's getting married in October in NC and I'd love to go because she's been so great to me and put up with my crazy ass through most of college. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how that will end up because living in CO makes it harder to attend things like weddings and other big events in friends lives. I mean I love it out here and the more laid back lifestyle definitely suits me much better than the east coast. I guess times like this just make me wonder why I chose to live so far from most of my college friends and family. I've been thinking about where I'd like to live after college lately and I'm torn. Ideally I'd like to end up in Seattle, CA or Denver because of the culture, climate and beauty. I know I'd probably be happiest in one of those three places. The east coast really isn't my cup of tea. However, almost everyone besides people I've met the last year are back east so that makes me wonder about staying out west. Thankfully I have 2 more years before I have to decide that. Maybe people will spread out around the U.S. more as we're out of college longer.

7:50 pm	stolen from silent_dancer This is the problem with LJ, we all think we are so close, and we know nothing about each other. I'm going to rectify it. I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:34 pm	fellow law students I wonder about my fellow law students sometimes. Apparently one of my fellow students didn't know how to spell the name of the President of the United States in their eval of a prof. It never ceases to amaze me how some people got into law school. I was very dissapointed in the class and felt it was a waste of my hard earned money. I am certainly not a philosophy major and for those who like philosopshy I am sure they did well and enjoyed it. I am in law school to learn the law and this class was so far off into left field. I also was not pleased with the left wing anti men attitude the professor espoused in class. I felt that the professor's opinion of her dislike of President Busch was totally uncalled for. Also the discussion on feminism and gender/transgender issues were so out of the loop of what real practicing lawyers care about. This class was a total waste of my time and waste of money.

12:58 am	Hellllllllo Livejournal So lately I've felt as if I have to write down everything I'm thinking before I have an ulcer soon. Welcome to the world of my incoherent ramblings. Having more time on my hands this summer has given me more time to think and more time to get depressed over stuff. Hopefully this is just a passing phase. Talking to Ali tonight helped me realize I'm not the only one of us who apparently cannot seem to keep a decent man around. Time for us ladies to join the convent. Ha can you imagine Sister Katherine? Anyways, more to come later. (Comment on this)
