COME FOR ME!!!!!

hahaha...I just cant get the line "Come for me!" from Peter O'Toole's portrayal of King Henry II in the film The Lion in Winter out of my head. That film is a masterpiece and I just can't understand how O'Toole has never won an Academy Award. I have now moved on to another O'Toole portrayal of the first monarch from the House of Plantagenet in the earlier film Becket...good stuff.

Something else I can't get out of my head lately is Anberlin's Adelaide...I know, I know, Anberlin is totally lame, but I do like that song. (also check out the new music on my iPod list)

I'm working on law school apps this weekend and I think I've turned a corner; for this very morning I finished my personal statement!!! Of course I'll be noodling it 'til the very moment I submit it to the Law School Admissions Council, but I'm done with the major edits, so that's a milestone! Next item on the list? -- Resume!, and college transcripts, and finalizing recommendation letters, and putting the finishing touches on the actual applications, and...

I'm also excited about applying to the joint JD/Masters program at UT Law. I think I'm going to go for a Master's degree in Global Policy.

School starts Tuesday. I found out on Friday that I need another Poli Sci credit to graduate which really pissed me off. If I had known I needed another credit I surely would have done the study abroad in Taiwan...I hadn't been that mad in a loooong time. I'm over it now and ready to get my last semester over with. Here's the line up:

* Theology: Pentateuch (Old Testament)
* Philosophy: Metaphysics
* Poli Sci: Federalism & Intergovernmental Relations
* Physics: Astronomy II

...should be interesting...
