Well, my prediction was embarrassingly wrong. The Bears did not, in fact, win the Superbowl. Nor did I win any money in the process. Whatever. I didn't want that $20 anyway.
I had a free lunch today with my lawyer-friend who gives me career advice. It was a delicious pot-roast sandwich complete with mashed potatoes. I enjoy the free lunches along with the company. His idea for my future career involves me clerking for a judge once I graduate. All at once I am hesitant (the real world! wtf?) and excited (yay! I don't have to *be a lawyer*) about the prospect.
Because this blog is a complete compilation of *random*, I'll continue on with all of my scattered thoughts.
Wait. Here's an outline (because, randomness aside, I still am a law student):
I. Superbowl commercials
II. Movies
III. Supernatural
IV. Harry Potter
V. Other TV
VI. School
I. Superbowl -- I was not impressed with the commercials. Nothing really sticks out in my head as being "Superbowl worthy" or whatever the bar of expectation is for these things. In fact, I was disappointed to learn that at least a couple of the commercials were ones I had already seen courtesy of the movie theater. C'mon Coca-Cola, spring for a new commercial. Jeez, if you're going to pay millions for an ad the least you can do is make it a new one.
II. Movies -- I didn't go to a new movie this weekend, but the boyfriend and I rented a few. Is it my imagination, or did a larger percentage of movies used to be much better? I'm starting to wonder if perhaps my taste was just really awful in years past and I'm only now starting to realize it. *Sigh* I've been so disappointed as of late.
III. Supernatural -- I can't wait until Thursday! On a side note, I've been checking out the predicted schedule for the rest of the season, and wow. March is going to be miserable! Then, when the episodes start up again at some point in April, I'm going to be busy studying for finals. Dammit. Why can't my school schedule and my television schedule mesh together? Also, if the CW would just hurry up and announce that it'll be back next season, I'll have one less thing to stress about.
IV. Harry Potter -- Speaking of distractions, I can't believe that it's ending. I... I'm so sad and excited and all sorts of other conflicting emotions. I am, however, grateful that Ms. Rowling finished it in time to publish THIS year as opposed to next year. I would hate to have to worry about taking the bar exam at the end of July only to be distracted by the thought Harry Potter. Rumor has it that it's coming out two days BEFORE the bar exam, so... good luck with that. I don't know what would be worse: reading it when you should be studying, or being distracted by the thought of reading it while taking the test.
V. Other TV -- Last fall was sooo easy! I only had one obsession going in: Supernatural. All of my other viewing distractions were much less important and easy to ignore. Then, along comes Heroes to put me in my place...and freakin' George Takei! At least Lost did me a huge favor by sucking, so now I'm of the opinion that if the boyfriend is watching it I'll watch. Otherwise, it can wait until May for me to catch up.
You know what's strange? I have this strange desire to watch Gilmore Girls now that it appears to be ending despite never watching it before. Then again, I've almost convinced myself that I need to buy GG season one (again, having not watched it) simply for the Padalecki. (Have I mentioned how overwhelmed I am this season by just how mindblowingly hot he is?)
VI. School -- Oh right. That. I don't know how to rate this semester. It's busy, but I don't know whether or not I'm actually learning anything. Well, no.. I am learning all about 18 U.S.C. 1983. Then there's all the employment law stuff.
On the plus side, I think I'm finally enjoying teaching. Heh... look, I apparently didn't have to stop pursuing a PhD in Literature after all. ^_^;;
