A trip to O'Malia's is always interesting!

SO, I am sure you all aware that my Neice: Hannah Emily Bankert was born Friday, but incase you didn't...now you do! She's adorable but I fear little Drewber will not know what to do without 100% of everyone's attention--but maybe this will make his life easier not having like 10 people trying to get his attention. He kept giving her kisses which was adorable. Jesse thinks its funny to remind me that when we were coming to the hospital we saw Drew on a "walk" and I hollared and him and he came running. Well he sure didn't come running for me...he went right for Jesse. I picked him up and then when we got near everyone and I was going to let him down he leaned over to try to get Jesse to take him...oh little devil! Haha he's too cute to be upset with him for saying my boyfriend's name before mine.

Well we went to the store the other day--it's a cute store downtown that saves like over an hour if we just stop there for small things. I forgot to tell anyone about one story that occured a while back. We were at the store and going down the isles, we were looking for stuff to make quick in the frozen food section and this CRAZY person was there...now you might ask why I call him crazy and think that frankly Christina is rude for making fun of someone. However, think again and this time with sympathy that I was a victim of his...I looked up briefly only to see a cart hauling at me and hit my side---which hurt! And I could see him still in his follow through and laughing in his crazy laugh if that is what you'd call it. No in all honestly (not to make fun of him) he really had something wrong with him---but why take it out on me?? So the rest of the time in the store I was afraid to leave Jesse's side in fear of seeing him again and fearing what he'd do next. I still worry about seeing him at the store.

Another story. Jesse spends a lot of time at my apartment and vice versa. Well we decided that we needed to make duplicate keys for our apartments which was a great idea---later after we did it, I told him that we had just made a huge step in our relationship--he thinks I'm silly!!

Just a little FYI on Jesse's culinary genius--Tonight he made linguini alla carbonara, which Jesse maintains is a simple dish he had many times in Italy and Greece...yayaya what that really means is that it's a pasta dish with a ligh sauce. What is a light sauce you ask? Well I was just about to tell you...okay-- he took lemon zest (1/2 a lemon), parmesean cheese (1 1/2 cups), 3 egg yolks, and some parsely. Oh yeah and then he also made "meatballs" and cooked bacon to add to the sauce....bacon is the poor mans panchetta. But these meatballs were just italian sausage (hot) rolled into balls and cooked in a fry pan in olive oil and the bacon. Ok so we made the pasta--then drained it and immediately added the sauce and meat--this lightly cooks the egg in the sauce...okay enough talk I'm making you hungry huh? Well I suggest you try it sometime and you will be glad you spent your time reading about it!

Almost to the weekend....kinda

SO it feels like this week is never ending. This new schedule compeltely throws me off and I am completely exhausted and feel like I am always behind. Yesterday morning, I was in class checking email like usual...and I get a message saying something about finally getting christmas pictures developed. So then I see sonogram pictures and I say to myself now why on earth is Kim sending these and not one of Drew, I just saw this last time I was home! So, I think maybe I xed out too soon, and there were more at the bottom. That's when I see who it's from!!!! It's not Kim--IT'S JENNI! I can't express how happy I am for her and Erik!! CONGRATS!

Today I had the ever hated LARC, and not even real LARC it was the library research section where they give assignments. Like we don't have enough already. My criminal law class is interesting...I feel like I dont understand anything and by the time I write something down he says, he's off on another topic and I'm lost against. My teacher Karlson reminds me of my World geography and economics class with professor Kieran Donaghy. Both are real complex, move fast and have books that are so hard to read....ok enough thinking for one day! I'm out....

Somebody has a case of the mundays

So, this weekend was offically way to short....
Friday night a bunch of us drank and played games at Jesse's...Battle of the Sexes and Sequence and just hung out. It was a welcome distraction since we had just recieved our grades.
Unfortunately, the school decided to take away our Saturday in order for the Office of Professional Development to have a mandatory meeting. 1:30-5. Can you say torture?? Not only was it hot as hell in the court room, but it was long---no breaks and offered me no help. If anything it made me freak out even more about getting a summer internship. Really people in the top 25% had problems getting jobs--wow that makes me relieved...okay not really what about people in the bottom 50%--they didn't even give reference to people in that position. Nor did they give advice for people going out of state for job searches.
Satuday after we got out of the horrid mandatory meeting, we came back to Jesse's and his parents were at his apartment. They had came to drop off his car and got to stay until Sunday morning at like 10. We went to dinner, then I took them to see my ghetto apartment and then basically we all went to bed because we were wiped out! His poor parents had driven all the way there for less than 24 hours!
SUNDAY---what a day! Bears v Colts superbowl....insane. Not only do I live in Indy so I feel that i have to have Colt allegiance but Jesse basically told me I should. But I owe my loyalty to Illinois and the Bears....shh--we'll keep that quiet. Either way it will be a good game since I would want either team to win in differnt circumstances.

Tonight What about Brian and 24 are on...I tape What About Brian--so shhh no spoilers on what happens... OK 24 TIME!

IM BACK

So, I realized that I haven't posted in like FOREVER... I got real busy last semester. As I'm sure you know. I bet this semester will be just as busy but perhaps I will use this as my venting form of relief from it all.
I can't wait for Kim to pop out her baby so 1. I can have a neice and 2. we can start our diet/ biggest loser program and 3. perhaps she'll decide to let Drew come stay with me one weekend to get him off her hands??? Yeah that one is definately wishful thinking...but I try.

Last semester was kinda disappointing grade wise. I ended up with a 2.89. I cried for a lil and wanted to puke but ultimately I just vowed to try harder and study more. The only person I studied with in my section last semester dropped out....and with a 4.0 at that. I am goin to tweak my study skills a little. Maybe read some horn books---which are really thick books bigger than our case book and just omit cases...you can check them out of the library for a whole month! EXCITING! not really... Anyways, at Jenni's suggestion since I hate highlighting in my books or any marks whatsoever, I might try post-its and writing on those---because I can just remove them easily! She's a smart one! I love my sisters.

Tonight after I get out of class me and Jesse are going to buy Sequence because we're competitive and because a bunch of people might hang out and play cards and such and so we have when we don't feel like watching x-files, playing crazy 8's or when nothing is on tv. I also need curtains....A few nights ago I got real mad about the brightness of my room at night. You see, when I got back from Christmas break they had put up more lights in the parking lot--which my room faces and they are bright yellowish. I tried taping up brightly colored folders to block the light because thats all I could think of. When I ran out of those, I used pillow cases and then cardboard. I actaully could see these damn folders from 10th street at night when I was coming back from Jesse's. I guess I'm just as ghetto as my apartment complex now.....well with that great start to blogging...I'm going to go...LOVE YOU ALL
