Really fast

Ok, I have been at work for over two hours and have only made coffee and two appointments, not any work. Thus I just wanted to drop a quick line to tell people to look up this song. It comes from the senior project of two Gonzaga theater kids. It's the trailer song to some video they made. I found it randomly by having a youtube video sent to me and I went to the people's website. Pretty funny guys, but the song is pretty mellow and cool. Just thought some people may like it. It's all acoustic and relaxed and whatnot. That's it. More to come. September 30 is only a few days away. LSATs are fun!

Update

Well, life for me is still pretty good, but work is busy. That's how I like it, though, or esle I would be bored. I take the LSAT (again) in less than two weeks so the studying for that has really taken off. I am not working out from now until then to be able to get maximize my study time. I hope to do well, because I feel that I need to options in schools. Monica will find work in so many places and I want to be able to learn wherever she needs to be. That means I need to look for schools in LA, Chicago, Minneapolis, New York, Boston, DC, Philly, or wherever else she may go. This is not to say there aren't schools there I would want to go to. Besides most of those places have phenomenal programs, I am mostly done with caring where I get my education as long as I get it. Someone, I forget who, just wrote an article about how few of the CEOs of American companies went to Ivy League schools. Though they are present in slightly higher proportions as a whole, they aren't dominating. And more and more I see how much connections, experience, and the right kind of both are the most valuable part of success, whatever you choose that to be. Those are today's thoughts.

This is a picture of my housemates and me at orientation. We are all dressed up with nowhere to go b/c they asked us to get ready for this picture. It gets sent to people who will donate and they like to see happy people with smiling faces wearing fabulous clothing. Nonetheless, lets's run through it. Mathew is on the top right. He's a little bit California wrapped up in Britain. Meaning, he is a Cali-kid, but spent some of his best years in England; Kent, I think. He's got a wonderful sense of humor and plays guitar like I wish I could. He also seems to need lots of naps after a long day of dealing with pre-teen girls. To his right is Cassie. She's Eastcoast to the core. Grew up outside DC and spent most of her life in the area and the rest of Maryland. She most definitely can kick my butt, but usually just lets me sleep on her on our coach. She also has never won intermural co-ed basketball. The comes me. I work with immigration law stuff and am wearing some else's shirt. I am hugging Kyle, my roommate. Dallas by birth. Creighton by grace of God. He is really into social justice and has been since college. He has lots of heros like Che and some guy from the t.v. show M.A.S.H., and he has read most every book ever written. He's got the list to prove it. Below us is Dorota. She's a Polish lass brought up Midwest style. She too has been active since before college with things like building houses for people in E. Tenn and such, forcing the Vagina Monologues on the Jesuits, and all around good-deedery. She is also pretty easy going and bad at keeping in touch with. Don't worry, it's because she hates you. To her right (our left) is Ashley D-D-Davis. Though she has no relation to Mr. Davis (unless you mean her father in MI), she is still pretty awesome. She is also very easygoing and doesn't seem to stop smiling. She works with kiddies all day, though they are usually the troublemakers so she beats them with rulers. She has also thown me forcefully on the couch calling out, "Ho down." I am shamed. Finally, Jeff. Jeff is the artistic type in the sense that he paints very well and really sees deep things in art. Not in the sense that he wears barrets and listens to beat-nik jazz all day. No, he's a pretty sporty guy, touting the KC Chefs as the most delicious team in the NFL (oogaly-moogaly). He's helping people at a clinic.

So that's our crew. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for the next episode of Jorge's world.
