Today was the mock essay test. It was so laid back, and people were just wandering in and out, and I only did 3 out of the 5 essays (I outlined the 4th, and totally skipped the 5th, b/c I hadn't even LOOKED at the material for a small subject).

Because of the laid back nature of this stuff, I'm having a really hard time giving two shits about tomorrow.

Which means I'll come home tomorrow absolutely STUNNED because I got 75/200 right, and I'll be crying, and I'll be stressed, and my little gmail tag line will say "I'm going to FAIL the bar exam!"

Eh.

ducks in a row

i just scoured the house for all the pieces i need for my first errand on Tuesday --- getting my MA driver's license.

this is just evidence that i am the Queen Procrastinator. i moved to MA over 2 years ago, and still have not gotten my license, despite the fact that, at times, it has caused me a little bit of inconvenience.

so why now? b/c my driver's license expires on my birthday this year. which is in, ohhhh, 2.1 weeks, or something like that. and i start work next monday, so i have to do it this week.

things get complicated for me, though, when i have to do this kind of thing. b/c i am the Queen Procrastinator, i have not updated all my crap from the name-change associated with my divorce. why couldn't i have been this kind of procrastinator back when i got married? and never changed things over then? i have no idea.

but my passport and social security card still sport my ex-married name. which means i need to bring my birth certificate, and i need to bring my divorce judgment, and i need to bring all this other CRAP just to prove who i am. it wouldn't be this hard if i were organized and timely.

but i'm not.

and of course, none of these things are in places where i can find them. i thought i put my birth certificate in my filing cabinet, but there are no labels on the files, so how am i supposed to know where it is? i searched the whole damned thing, and didn't find it. so i looked through my box of "things to be filed" (in the files with no labels) and it still wasn't there. so i looked through my 'everything drawer' and my 'everything shelf' (i.e., junk drawer; crap pile), still nothing.

then i went to find my current lease, for purposes of proving residency, and right there in the front-most file, i find my birth certificate.

JESUS!!!

but now i have everything. everything i could possibly need.

and on tuesday morning, i will grab my things, get on the train, go to downtown boston, and get me a new driver's license. finally.

i should probably check into where the social security office is, too, and go in there with my divorce papers, so i can get a new card, and then shortly get a new passport ....

i think i need one to go to Canada now, don't i? and i want to get married in canada on 2/2.

no more procrastinating!

oh!! woo hoo!!

I just realized that I did not watch Grey's Anatomy last night, due to kids not being ready for bed (I never watch t.v. while they're awake), and me having the paper to write. it was a good thing i didn't, too, b/c i really immersed in the paper. before it happened, i was thinking i'd have to work all day today, and that it would be really stressful and i'd be rushing to drop the damned thing off by 4:30.

so now all i have left is about an hour or so of citation work, and i'm just not doing it. i'm reading blogs and blogging about boobs.

but now that i remembered about Grey's Anatomy -- i have incentive!! i am goign to download it from iTunes right now, and hurry up with my cites, and then go home and watch it on my beautiful computer screen!! and since i left my iPod (and my headphones) home - there isn't even the option of watching it now.

so i will finish!!

**Update - paper's done, and i like it. unfortunately, grey's anatomy from last night is not yet available on iTunes. does anyone know when they are available for download? last week's is there, but last night's is not. damn.
