getting out early of work to see this

was the best thing that could have happened today. its the view from my window -- never mind the screen details, but peep the beautiful ocean & rainbow! i first saw the rainbow on my drive home and got so excited i kept taking my eyes off the road. not so smart of course, but still lovely.

at the times you think you cant do anything else, you will find that sometimes, you just need a break. those are the moments you should give yourself breathing room, take a walk, pick up a newspaper or non-school related item, watch an episode of gossip girl on the cw.com, or really, go for a run. really. because no one can be that crazy all the time! youll get done whatever you need to. maybe the fulbright needs a back-seat until you can make enough progress with school (or at least until a weekend!).

by this time tomorrow i will be watching jet blue tv, for some reason desiring tomato juice and the salty peanuts. i always want as much salt as possible on flights. totally backwards if you ask me, since they are so dehyrdrating. im pretty excited! i surely packed some tights & sweaters but noticed that the homeland had a high of 77 today, so, come on, im not feeling that bad for you. (although, it nice to live in perpetual humidity, today i had to drive through another foot-deep puddle in our parking lot, that covered 80% of the lot... love the crazy rainstorms here, so long as youre not caught in it with you electronic devices. and trust me, umbrellas dont work).

nothing else exciting to report from this end. i am crossing my fingers that a certain jessica landis will have to come to visit miami for work next weekend! then next sunday i am off to atlanta for orientation and to hear some cases, very exciting. a class-mate of mine is working at the court in atlanta, so we will get to hang out and catch up (although we do stay in touch via the govt's internal instant-messaging system, its pretty cool i must say).
