FINAL-ly

so today jes finished her last final of her first year of law school. it was an eight hour take home test, so she did it here and that meant i had to try and make myself scarce (b/c i have a tendency to talk to her and that does not help the final process).

so this morning i went to the coffee shop and finished up a fairly complete shitty first draft of my third chapter. i printed it out and over the next couple days i will have to try and revise on the paper and then type it in, and pass it out to a few friends and to one of my committee members. my goal is for them to have it back to me by the end of the month so i can incorporate suggestions and then move on to the next chapter. today i got a bit of an idea that maybe i only need one more chapter after this instead of two. i will talk about this with saralyn and see what she says.

after coffee (i really got orange juice), i came back here and gave jes a hot soy chai and left her to her work while i watched (read) starting over (i had it on mute so as to not disturb the lawyer). then we had some soup for lunch and she went back to work and i went and bought all kinds of cat food. i usually buy it like six cans at a time, but this time i bought a whole case. the kitties are set for some time.

when i got home i started to feel a little ill, so i decided to lay down and take a nap. my belly has been bothering me a bit these last few days- mostly pain and queasiness- not like my normal IBS problems, so i am not sure what it is. i think its probably b/c i have not been exercising much since boot camp started. when i got up i didn't feel much better so i just drank some peppermint tea and did some of my work work.

jes finished promptly at 5pm and then went into the city to benny's to meet with some of her classmates to celebrate the end of their first year of law school. now she is home and is waiting me to finish this so we can watch the chronic-what-cles of narnia.

today is my friend mel corn's bday. happy birthday to her.

As usual, I'm behind the times. But yell out a bit YAHOO to Jes for me. She has to feel so relieved and proud to be done with her first year! Tell her congrats!
