Let's just make the assumption that I am constantly studying to take the Nebraska Bar Exam and move on to what I'm doing with the precious little free time I have, okay?  (I want to add that, yes, it does indeed SUCK.  It's like I'm constantly studying for finals, but only now I have time to shower.)

Unfortunately, I've been stuck lying on my couch trying not to run out of Internet.  (It's what I tell The Boyfriend because "nothing" isn't a very exciting answer =- "What are you doing?" "Trying to run out of Internet."  One day I amazed myself and actually ran out of websites to visit.)  Why?  Well, I woke up on Thursday morning to the sound of....nothing.  In my left ear, that is.  I spent the rest of the day hoping my hearing would return, and I may or may not have accepted a job at a law firm in Omaha (I'm not quite sure what happened in that conversation).  On Friday morning I went to the Health Center - lucky for me you can still go there for a semester after you graduate as long as you pay the fees.  Considering that I have no health insurance and I actually did NOT want to become deaf, this was quite a lucky break.

Apparently, I'm a little kid despite having graduated from college, because I have an ear infection.  Lame.   The doctor recommended that I take massive amounts of Ibuprofen to combat the "worst pain of my life" (as she put it).  I was prescribed amoxicillin and eardrops.  The ear drops didn't help, and I was losing hearing in my RIGHT ear on Sunday.  The doctor wasn't actually lying or over-exaggerating on the pain part.  Ouch.

So, I went in to the Health Center again on Monday morning only to be told that I now had an ear infection in BOTH ears.  I was prescribed some newer, BETTER eardrops.  The only difference I've noticed is that I can hear even less than before, and I have to rely on my sister and my boyfriend, sorry, The Boyfriend, to baby me administer my drugs.  The pharmacist seemed to think Tylenol would work better than ibuprofin.  I would have scoffed at the idea, but I was desperate.  It did work, but the relief barely lasted for an hour rather than the 4-6 hours the pill bottle led me to believe.

My BarBri* class starts on Monday, and I really hope that my hearing returns by then.  It might be embarrassing to ask a classmate to administer the eardrops and i don't trust them anyway.


*BarBri is a completely overpriced Bar exam prep course that costs just as much as tuition only without the benefit of getting credit for it.  Sigh.

I just noticed that I haven't posted an entry in weeks!  Weeks!  AND, that last entry was only a sentence long.  Heh.

I actually could do a Creation Con "report" complete with pictures and funny stories about Mark Lutz and the "moment" I shared with Jensen during the photo op.  I could even throw in my two cents about all the drama that went down and how the fanboys were totally pissed about the lack of "Smallville" merchandise at this alleged Smallville Con.

Yeah.. that's all going to have to wait until December 19 (when I finish my last final).  Right now I'm taking a break from working on Family Law - my first final.  Since it's 5 a.m., I should probably go to sleep soon.

I vaguely remember making a statement back in April about how I didn't want to ever pull an all-nighter again.  My finals start in a week and a half, so I actually have no excuse for being awake right now... other than to complain.



Adios Internet...until my finals are finished.

It's 5:30 a.m. 

Supernatural is on Thursdays, which is the strongest evidence as to why it's the greatest day of the week. (Of course, I haven't taken Evidence yet, so that isn't "official" or anything.) It also falls perfectly in the week where I can look forward to this one day and then be treated by the weekend immediately following.

Thursdays are actually my busiest day with class and teaching. I barely have time in between the classes I'm taking to rush to the class that I teach and then back to the law college for the rest of the day. *Whew* I don't wake up on Thursdays and agonize over how loooong it is until I can watch Supernatural (that, is actually reserved for Wednesdays). What happens is that I wake up and think "Hooray! Supernatural!" Then, the rest of the day speeds by, and I'm only BRIEFLY tempted to talk about Supernatural during the class I teach (whereas, on Tuesday, I consider how I can incorporate it for the entire hour and 15 minutes - I must be the worst TA of all time).

Eehh.. I'm only writing this to pump myself up for tomorrow because today is only WEDNESDAY!! ARGH! As noted above, Wednesday sucks, as a matter of law.

To put my week in perspective:
Monday - School. Waste time on the Internet. Stay up until 3 a.m. preparing for Tuesday.
Tuesday - School. Teach. Consider bringing up Supernatural to my students in a completely casual way. Stay up until 1 a.m. doing homework.
Wednesday - Wake up and for a small moment think it's Thursday. Agonize over the fact that it is NOT Thursday. More School. Stay up until 3 a.m. preparing for Thursday.
Thursday - Hooray! School. Teach. Hooray! Supernatural. Smallville. Consider rewatching Supernatural. Homework. End up staying up until 3 a.m. doing homework (thanks in large part to general watching and sqeeing).
Friday - School. Watch Supernatural. Twice. Homework, but only until 7 p.m. 

In about a month, my weekends will be as action-packed (err.. homework-filled, anyway) as the rest of the week.  Thursdays will no doubt become even more fabulous at that time.
