Happy 1/1/11!!
Kinda Belated But Happy Holidays!
These Are A Few of My Favorite Sites
These are websites that are especially entertaining when I’m procrastinating…like right now. I’ve excluded Twitter because that’s a given.
Not in any particular order:
1. Stumble Upon – I discovered most of the websites on this list through this website. I LOOOOVE IT!
2. A Softer World – A Softer World is a comic that was created by Emily Horne and Joey Comeau so that people would recognize them as important artistic geniuses.
3. Future Me – FutureMe.org is based on the principle that memories are less accurate than emails. And we strive for accuracy.
4. One Sentence – One Sentence is an experiment in brevity. Most of the best stories that we tell from our lives have one really, really good part that make the rest of the boring story worth it.
5. TED – Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world.
6. Lifehack – This site dedicated to lifehacks. The phrase describes any hacks, tips and tricks that get things done quickly by automating, increase productivity and organizing.
7. Best of Craigslist – Pretty self explanatory…the best Craigslist postings as nominated by Craigslist readers.
8. Graph Jam – Life and pop-culture graphed for your inner geek.
9. Last Night’s Party (NSFW) – Where were you last night?
10. Food Gawker and Food Porn Daily – Click. Drool. Repeat.
11. My Life is Average – MyLifeIsAverage is a place to share your everyday mediocrity.
12. Savage Love (NSFW) – Dan Savage answers people’s very interesting questions.
13. Texts From Last Night – …the tendency to press send more easily as the night turns to morning, friends’ social habits, disgraced government officials, exes, law school, closing down bars and leaving tabs open, general debauchery and/or a common disgust for all the negativity surrounding the ‘sexting’ phenomenon.
14. Vimeo – From the beginning, Vimeo was created by filmmakers and video creators who wanted to share their creative work, along with intimate personal moments of their everyday life.
15. Google Reader - Helps me keep track of my favorite blogs.
So what are your favorite sites?
The Immigrant Life (via AFRICA IS A COUNTRY)
Sigh
Needless to say, taking the LSAT was an intellectual massacre (quote from @agliophobic). The worst part? We won’t be getting our scores for another month.
My birthday was the day before the exam so I didn’t even get to celebrate it.
I’m too mentally exhausted to speak in paragraphs now but I will say that I made a great musical discovery yesterday, his name is Sazzy and it’s very unfortunate that he passed away this year.
I might be moving temporarily to ATL.
The Negro Speaks of Rivers
I just woke up so I sound a little groggy.

D Day is Near
So as Saturday draws near I can’t help but feel extreme anxiety. Going back to school is not easy at all and I just pray that God grants me a great score on the LSAT and admission into a great law school. *cough*Georgetown*cough*
Wish me good luck!
Quotable Quotes:
“That was intellectual rape, right there.” –My study partner after taking only TWO practice sections of the LSAT
Revisiting the Past
I was revisiting my very first blog on Xanga this morning and I really miss the good ole’ days when everybody was so active about blogging and sharing their lives.
I also realized that I shared waaay too much information about myself publicly on that blog so I spent a few hours making some of the posts private.
Wish we could go back to those days…or at least try to replicate them.
Hiatus From the Real World
So, if you follow me on Twitter then you probably know that I resigned from my job at the bank and Friday was my last day. [Insert image of balloons & fireworks & sparkling cider here].
I quit because I am studying for the LSAT and if you’ve followed my blog for a while then you’ve read about the crazy adventures I’ve had at the bank and all the ridiculous things I’ve seen throughout the years. It’s been a great experience and I will definitely miss the place, not only because of the madness, but because of the career advances I was able to make while I was there. But there comes a time when one just has to look his/her slave driver in the eye and say “no mo’ massa.”
Working for the past two years since I graduated has definitely allowed me to get that whole “real world experience” thing that people are always yelling about. Quite frankly, though, the real world sucks. It kind of sucks. I mean, it definitely has its great moments but for the most part, paying bills sucks.
So I’m postponing further experience with the real world and I’m taking my ass back to school.
