Okay, so today was pretty good. Didn't actually do all that much, lol, but it was good. Alarm went off at 7, I groaned and told myself I can sleep when I'm dead (this is actually something I tell myself on a regular basis as a motivation to get out of bed and I'm not even kidding) so I got up and hopped on the bus to work. Hang out for a bit, trying to see if anyone has any work for me, no luck there really so I go down to court and just hang out for most of the morning. I can't really remember anything about the cases so I probably wasn't paying that much attention and/or they weren't all that interesting. Went back up for lunch and decided I would stay up there for the afternoon, I did eventually get an assignment from my supervisor but it was like "take the incident reports dated before January 2015 out of this binder of incident reports that organized into sections by attorneys in chronological order" so all I had to do was flip through the section till I hit January 2015 and take the rest out, so it took a total of like, 20 minutes lol. Didn't do anything else productive for the day though, no complaints there. Their calendar meeting had gotten rescheduled for this afternoon (I'm not sure when it regularly is but it's not while I'm around) so I sat in on that and heard them bitch about problems like comp days and the scheduling issues they have in the courtroom. They're doing a breakfast thing on Thursday for some reason, which is also my last day and they want to take me out to lunch, so I'm getting two government sponsored meals on Thursday? Lol, I'll take it. Gotta figure out where I wanna go, cuz I'm tempted to just say pizza but then they're having a calendar pizza party on Friday.....I may just do the bakery cuz at least there's a selection there and I can still get pizza that I like, lol. At one point my friend from last semester stopped by because she had to drop something off over on my side of the office (we're literally on completely opposite sides of the building) so we talked for a bit and she told me about her crazy case and what DCFS is opposing paying for for her client, and I recounted my painful experience in DV court last time we were there. She mentioned she like almost called me the other day because she had a client wanting to get an order of protection and had a few super basic questions but they got it figured out but just hearing that made me feel really cool haha like I'm an authority on something people would go to for information (and tbh I do know a lot about the process). Headed out around 4:50 because I wanted to make the 5:02 bus since I was so happy I couldn't go straight home after work for legit the first time this semester haha so that was good. It was also nice to ride home while it's still nice out, even if it's still a bit of a longer ride in the evening (it goes from like 1 hour to an hour and 10 minutes, not much but enough) it's nice to just sit and see it still being light out, and the farther north we get the people on the bus start to trickle off, so by the time we get to my stop there's usually only a handful of people left, so sometimes I'll like stretch my legs out and take up two seats or something silly like that that I'd enjoy, lol. Got home, made dinner (I did the roasted nectarine oatmeal again because I still had the other half of it and it was cut and imminently going bad and it was super delicious, and also leftovers because I'm determined to eat them now, which I don't like that I have to be determined to do to actually do, but oh well) and then tuned in for the flash, which I have to say was an all around strong episode. I couldn't pass up commenting on future Barry's haircut because like ffs man I know you're depressed and that can make menial tasks seem monumental but please just get yourself a haircut already, lol. And seeing everyone else all old and abandoned was sad. The whole "we're gonna change the future to change the past" thing was kind of ?? Like okay, getting the team back together is nice but I don't think it's gonna make a difference here? Lol. Oh, and future Barry said he trapped Savitar in the speed force after he already killed Iris.....but Savitar killed Iris because Barry trapped him in the speed force....time loop, anyone? Haha though I doubt they'll address that, given the show's track record with logic in regards to time travel. But yeah, overall I liked it and Jesse L. Martin pretending to be old Joe was so!! cute!!! I really couldn't handle it. So stupid me thought I had an hour between flash and prison break from some reason, and I had wanted to make cookies because while I was making oatmeal earlier they have an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe on the container which I'm rather fond of so now I wanted to make some, except I didn't have any raisins haha so I used dried cranberries instead, and they turned out quite nicely (I briefly considered using the yogurt covered raisins that I do have, but decided that would be an adventure I'd save for another day). When I finished around 8:45 I checked Twitter and realized I fucked up the times of the shows so I started prison break then (thanks for always saving my ass, dvr). Man, what an episode. Really on the edge of my seat for most of it. Of course I was sooooo happy to finally see the brothers reunited and just being so happy to be able to hug each other and I'm like oh damn I have feelings!!! Haha. I wasn't doing all that great at keeping track of the factions fighting and whatever else was going on in Yemen, but I get that they apparently just pissed off the entirety of ISIL (side note: does anyone know why they chose to use ISIL and not ISIS? Is that how it's referred to in Yemen? I'm just curious as to what went into that decision) and now they somehow have to get out of Yemen with all these crazy people hunting him. They've had worse, really, haha. I have faith in them. Sara didn't get to do much, but we had the whole Kellerman and T-Bag plot, and I'm sorry but I refuse to 100% believe Kellerman is dead when they didn't show the shot of him actually being dead, just showed a gunshot going down in his direction....I mean, it's not like they haven't pulled shit like that before, especially with him. And believe me, I REALLY want that bastard to be dead, but the bastard is like a cockroach so I want real confirmation. T-Bag can bleed out for all I care, but I'm yet to see how he fits into any of this. But yeah, liked the episode a lot. Then I went to Brooklyn 99 which was hilarious and perfect as always, then went to 13 Reasons Why, watching episodes 10 and 11, obviously both very heavy episodes. I didn't remember enough details from the book to recall exactly what Clay's transgression was, but I thought it was something along those lines, at which point I'm like goddammit Clay you've been holding out on us going around the whole time being like "what did I do????" when you damn well know what you did, even if you didn't see how it related. I felt so sad for her in that moment though, that what was supposed to be a consensual moment was ruined by her past abuse experienced at the hands of men, like that makes me so sad. I liked episode 10 too though, I especially liked that Sherie was going to the older man's house to help him and that Clay went to Jeff (is his name Jeff? I think it's Jeff)'s family and told him what he knew at least- that was some sign of redemption in what's mostly been a story about how shitty people are to each other, so that I liked seeing. The lawsuit subplot continues to drive me up the wall with realism, at least they got the "oh the school would want to settle" thing right, and I loved that conversations between Clay and Hannah's moms in the bathroom, and I SO still want to see Clay's mom storm out of her firm and quit the case, but at this point I doubt we're gonna see that happen, especially because what they just revealed which has to be the BIGGEST conflict of interest I've ever seen that they are just smoothing over entirely and not even acknowledging. Like, are you kidding me? The son of the defense lawyer is being called as a witness for the prosecution???? If that's not a conflict of interest I don't know what else could possibly be one, lol, so them ignoring that irritated me. I wanted to keep watching to see what was gonna go down with the whole Jess/Bryce/Justin situation (side note: I know we're not really supposed to like Jess and I mean she is a bitch but I honestly just feel so bad for her) but I did need to eventually get to sleep so I stopped and got ready for bed and here we are. Tomorrow I have PT, then a PAD meeting at school that's probably gonna run into the crim pro review class, so we'll see how long I end up being there for. Alright, that's it. Goodnight folks. Stay classy.
