Last night I finally started working on my book again. I didn't get very far, but I did at least work on it, and fine tuned it a little more. I have had the first ten or fifteen pages poorly written for years now, and never, ever seem to add to it. But last night, I sat down, and finally began typing it out, instead of leaving it scribbled in one of my composition books, and actually made it work a little. I know I talk about it al the time, but writing has such a theraputic effect on me. I love it. Maybe now, I can actually finish it, though I doubt it will be any time soon.The problem is that I am such a perfectionist when I write. I can never move on to another part until I know that the part I am working on is perfect. Now, as I am typing it, I am seeing how far off these first pages are, and am forced to revamp it all, but I am liking its progression. I WILL finish this damn book, I WILL.
anywho, I am super duper excited because I get to see my LL, my BFF, my woman, Celena in just four and a half hours. :D I miss that woman sooo much. That woman is my exact opposite. She is a baby killing, Catholic, DEMOCRAT, and yet she will be the maid of honor in my wedding (if there ever is a wedding), and the god mother of my first born. She's my bestest friend. awww so heart warming.
So, I am sitting in the office right now, and instead of doing any relevant work, I am on my facebook on one browser, and blogging on the other. Don't you love it? I do, however love working here. When I first applied for the internship I was really nervous. As set in my Republican ways as I am, I know that I am not your average Republican. So I had it in my head that I would be working with these tight assed, old, conservative men. But to my surprise I work with some of the most amazing people I have ever met, people I consider firends, not just coworkers. And while I don't actually get an y monetary gain, I know that it is soooo going to pay off in the end.
I am Lazy Lauren, we all know that, and school work is the devil to me. So, unfortunately since elementary school, my grades have never truly reflected my capabilites, and sadly that rings true, even in college, at a school that is costing me my first born and my kidney to attend. My only hope is that I will do as well on my LSAT and GRE as I did on my SAT. With a good score and a damn good essay, hopefully schools will be able to overlook my mediocre grades. BUT with an internship like this, which I have been at for a year and a half now, I think, and .:cross your fingers:. and a good recommendation from the Senator himself, there may actually be a future out there for me.
Well enough of that. I am so stressed lately, but strangely calm about it. My roommate's last day in the apartment is today. Nice that I'll have my own room for a little while, but terrifying because it is only two weeks until the first of the month, and I am still sans new roommate. I keep hoping that someone is just going to fall into my lap, because I am not excited about having to Craig's List and share a room with a stranger. However, I do love meeting new people, and I know a good number of people who have had great experiences with CL roomies. so we shall see.
WEYYLLLL, I have been distracting myself from any real work for long enough, so I should probably get back. a tut a leur.

I'm exactly the same way about writing. Too much of a perfectionist to make any progress.
