I know it's close to him. But Andrew would indeed be flying out of Ontario, and Ontario is way, way closer to where he needs to go.

It's true that LAX is cheaper (and Burbank - they're priced identically) by a fair margin -- if you fly at the pre-8am timeframe. Hahah.

I was a really, really sad panda not too long ago. Wasn't approved for a loan that I was going to use for Study Abroad, but remembered GSU offered me loans I didn't even need at the beginning of the semester. Asked them if they could re-offer me the loan, which would be great, but they said if I did accept them, I would get around 2000 instead of 4500. That's fine. The trip is only 2700. I get a tax refund plus a large student excess refund with my scholarships, so I should be set. I would love it if they just gave me the 2700 though - she talked to a counselor (one of the aids) over the phone quickly, so I'm hoping I could pull some more strings under a slower evaluation. That way I can get my root canal >.> hopefully get a secured credit card from my bank and start setting up some kinda credit, and then saving up for more furniture, etc.

but if not ----- I may just settle for my regular refund and etc, and drop the Egyptian trip since my mom is still planning Spain. That way I don't get into any sort of debt yet.

Torts down, only Contracts and Civil Procedure to go. Still a lot of work, but Contracts, at least, can be reasonably prepared for (though preparation includes a rather obscene amount of memorization).

Last final's the 18th (an exciting 4-hour affair). alas, I won't have much time for drinkin' between then and heading home the 19th. (probably very late the 19th...)

Why not? Also I'm not only decently sure there's duplicates, which annoys me on some level, but I've got a very tiny little OCD side that is sated by silly things like this.

Vegas: Awesome

So many stories to tell, but I don't think text does justice. I just got back from the Mid Year Pharmacy meeting, which kicked sooooo much ass. There from the 5th-10th of December. Awesome.

Saturday: Left Morgantown at 0700 for a 1000 flight at Pittsburgh. This was all relatively uneventful. Touchdown was 1300 Vegas time. Meandered around the city with my co-residents and some of my friends I haven't seen for a few months. Eventually we all went out to eat late night at an awesome Italian restaurant with violinists that took requests

Sunday: First day of the conference. I got 16 CEs during this conference, which is awesome (I need 30 every 2 years). I got 6 of them today. Mostly CEs on academia and preparing for the BCPS. The presenter for the BCPS was outstanding - seriously, he made the hours fly by. Went out with a bunch of people this night. Went to the WVU reception and then the faculty party I was invited to. Awesome food, drinks, and good connections there.

Monday: More CEs! Residency showcase! Had a BLAST with 2 of my co-residents (Sarah/Tiffany) from last year. Van-Anh wasn't there - unfortunately, something happened to her position in Utah. Sad. Ryan, the ID resident last year, his girlfriend, Tiffany's husbad, and another acquaintance went out for drinks. Ryan paid. It was awesome - $200 of drinks and food and awesome times. 6 hours...man, it went by fast. Great times. Then I went to the Pitt reception...then I went to the Duquesne reception (among others - I like having loads of friends in many places). Walked around town with a few friends and gambled. Won $60 net...great, considering the one director lost $3000 in one night >_>

Tuesday: More CEs, including the best one yet! This was a night one, and I met some awesome people doing residencies I never knew existed. Went out with them late night, and was given numbers from 2 of the girls there. ^_^

Wednesday: Same thing, mostly! Man, specifics are hard to remember to type down >_>

Basically, it was awesome. I got loads of CEs, made huge numbers of contacts, connected with people I haven't seen in ages, and had a great time. Freaking awesome. And it was all paid for ^_^

Ash/Andy: I got your message on Sunday....today ;_; Sad - I didn't realize I'd miss your PM at that point - should have just given you my phone number directly. Oh well - perhaps some other time if we're ever in the same city again >_> I was at the Venetian most of the time, if that helps! When did you guys leave, anyway?

What crazy talk is this? I went from Burbank->Oakland and back about 5 weeks ago, flying out later than 12 noon at both places, and the tickets averaged around $60.

Good luck.

Was sworn in last week in NJ! Now looking for work. I feel nothing different. I THINK my soul's still here...somewhere.

Dewey Cheetum & Howe.

Thanks for the kind words, Fnorder, and congrats with the officialness!

Eh, not hard to tell if your soul's still there or not. If you still care enough to check for it, it is.

Unlike some classmates of mine who straight-up lied to another kid in my class about stuff on the test 'cause we're graded on a curve. Seriously, who the fuck pulls that shit?

Because someone has to say it; There's a difference?

Anyway, it's been scientifically proven that people are born without souls (toddlers would, given the manual dexterity, murder each other over spaghetti-os), have artificial ones installed by fear of their parents, then discard them upon adulthood. Only the unlucky few actually develop them under real-world conditions in the first place, so odds are lawyerification hasn't done too much.

They are different. Believe it or not, there are plenty of nice lawyers in the world. I'm not the only person to be offended by that kind of behavior on general principle.
