So I really need to start updating this thing more often.

I've been really busy the past few weeks. I've gone to Vegas and Jacksonville (I know, I know those two are practically synonomous), turned 22, gone to D.C. and just got back from Orlando this past weekend. Do I even live in Gainesville anymore?

I've also begun the Law School application process. It is not the easiest thing to do. There are no deadlines. There is no D-Day that I can look to in the future and say... ok, I have to be done by then. It's frustrating, not a timeline I am used to. I'm currently filling out the apps, finishing my resume, writing my personal statement, and getting letters of reccommendation. It's nuts.

Where has the time gone? I was hanging out with my friend Brad this weekend in Orlando and I asked how his dad was doing. I remembered he had just had open heart surgery. Brad gave me a perplexed look. Why was I asking about his father. I mentioned the fact that I was curious to see how he was recovering from his surgery. Brad then informed me that his dad had had the surgery back in my senior year of high school. I was floored. This was the epitome of what I had been talking about this entire semester with some of my friends who are also seniors. Time has flown by at a record pace. Have I spent it wisely?

As each day goes by I am becoming more comfortable with who I am. The Law School Application process forces you to define who you are and who you want to become. It forces you to look inside yourself, look at what you have done over the last four years.

I look back at myself four years ago and I see that I was a boy and now I am much more of a man. I remember being nervous about how I was going to eat, do my own laundry and not live in South Florida. I remember thinking that I wasn't going to have all of my usual friends to talk with on a daily basis. As the four years have gone by I realize that although that boy is still a part of me he is not the man I am today. I have become more rugged, more sure, more outgoing, more reflective, more insightful. I have found that I can live on my own.

This should be a fun week coming up. We have our flag football playoff game tonight. Sweet 16 baby! This is the farthest that any of us on the team have ever advanced in intramural playoffs. Ricky, Tommy and I have been talking about it all week. we could not be more pumped up for it. Literally, if we were any more pumped we'd be taken away to an asylum.

So I noticed something this weekend that bothered me. We were watching Dodgeball and there is a scene where Ben Stiller has Christine Taylor come by to giev an update on the audit of Average Joe's. He says "Oh, Ms. Veech, I didn't know you were coming by." She says "You asked me to come over." He comes back with "Oh, Did I?" You may think to yourself what is the point here. Well in Anchorman there is the scene where Christina Applegate comes by Will Ferrell's office where he is doing bicep curls. He says, "Oh, Ms. Corningstone, I wasn't expecting any company." She comes back with "You asked me to come by." Burgandy comes back with "Oh, Did I?" These two movies came out within a month of one another two years ago. These guys are all best buddies. Vince Vaughn was in both movies. My question is which one came up with the joke first. This really upset me. Am I the only one who has noticed this, should Ibe upset they re-used a joke so quickly.

I'm going to try and update this a lot more frequently but I say that each time.
