one down, ten more to go

I officially got accepted to the University of Pittsburgh School of Law...YAY! Yeah it's not my first choice but I was jumping up and down when I read "CONGRATULATIONS!" LOL..anyway, I can't wait to hear from the other 10 schools I applied to....

So interview today went well but I have to go in for a second interview tomorrow...still praying that everything works out with the other firm but hey at least I have a backup....

changes

• I'm glad to have been part of one of the biggest historic moments of our country. Absentee voting is the best! I'm anxious for the results.....
• Put in my 2 weeks notice on Friday and I start the new job on the 17th
• Fall is officially here (but I forgot how cold it can get that it makes me feel like it's winter..man I need to buy work pants!)
• It's November which means the big 2-5 is coming up.......

you know what's worse than being sick?

being at work while being sick

and poor Marc got sick too..and it's his first day of the fall semester... i feel bad that I got him sick....

I should just work faster so I can cross everything off my list so I can call it a day earlier.

p.s.

i think i am getting better because i have an appetite again...I had my mom's spaghetti for lunch (yay for leftovers!) and it was delicious =)

it just hit me

this time next year, i will be done with working as a paralegal and will be going to law school. I can't believe that I have been working at McDermott for almost 2 years now. So we got our review and I'm still a kick-ass paralegal yay!

Lesson(s) learned in 2007

2007 (and partially 2006) has given me plenty of hits and misses so in order to properly celebrate a new era in my life (blogspot, being 24, PARALEGAL promotion and I suppose the new year) I present to you a list of my lessons learned:

DO NOT get drunk at your holiday party
DO laugh about it on your first day back at work and sheepishly use being "young" as an excuse

DO NOT fly hungover across the country (and especially DO NOT sit in the middle seat if you chose to do so!)
DO bring plastic bags

DO NOT curse out loud assuming that you are the only person in the room
DO bust out with your most adorable smile when one of the partners tells you sarcastically but kindly that he did not hear anything

DO NOT allow yourself to be prey to PERVERTED and OBNOXIOUS superiors.
DO warn all your fellow female co-workers

DO NOT send an email with the subject: I need assistance. Why? BLACKBERRIES translate your message to "I need ass".
DO roll your eyes at the superior that laughs at you
