Sweet, sweet freedom!!! I can't believe that I'm finally done and over with school -- at least for the time being!
Freedom!!! *runs around frantically* I don't know what to do with myself!

You had a paper due too, Jae? Scary how you and I both had papers due after finals and during bar review. At any rate, I definitely feel your joy and your sense of release. I finally finished my paper on Sunday (albeit an awful paper) and I felt so light after I turned it in! It was like a millstone 'round my neck the entire time I was stuyding for the bar. And it just struck me that we have another thing in common: We're both studying for the most difficult bars in the entire feckin' United States.
Sa-chan, will write you a lengthy e-mail soon. Haven't forgotten you, m'dear. Until then, lots of love to you.
Will get that darn layout up soon, hopefully. (By the way, Eve, I hope you have fun in Greece!)

Scary to what lengths I will go in order to avoid studying. Watched "2 Weeks Notice", not two, but three times -- but in three different ways. First, I watched the movie without embellishments. Then I watched the movie again with the extra "blooper" scenes. Finally, I watched the movie with commentary given by the director, Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. And I've come to a conclusion after watching the movie three times: I adore Hugh Grant. He is now permanently fixed on my list of favorite devilishly charming British men. Yes, he ranks there with Jeremy Northam and Colin Firth. (Ewan McGregor is also on the list, even though he's not really British.)
Okay, got to start studying for the bar. Just had my first day of classes today. And sadly, I still haven't finished a paper for one of my classes.

About the latest CLAMP-are-you-all-on-bad-quality-crack-again?!" debacle (or, in other words, "CLAMP -- WTF?!"), I'm actually thinking this is a rather "good" thing. No, I'm not smoking the same poor-quality crack as the CLAMP ladies have been, but really, I'm thinking that perhaps we shouldn't take this series too serious as it seems that CLAMP isn't taking itself too seriously in creating this new work. I'm rather inclined to believe that CLAMP is actually "slyly" poking fun at itself and at perhaps the different spin-offs, fanfiction and doujinshi, that sprung from Cardcaptor Sakura. It's a satirization of the Cardcaptor Sakura fandom. And if you view the new series in this way, it could prove to be a funny and biting commentary -- sharper and more sarcastic than Cardcaptor Sakura was of the magical girl shoujo genre (though of course, Cardcaptor Sakura wasn't sharp or biting at all -- just a somewhat subtle parody of the genre, which wasn't the main focus of the work at all).
So maybe we should just take this new series with a pinch of salt. I'm prepared to be amused, at any rate. And trusting CLAMP, even if the plot is insane, the artwork will be pretty.

I keep thinking that someday I will have enough time to blog about meaningful things and enough time to write e-mails and to chat online.
Maybe I'll be able to once school is done and the bar taken.
Or is it only wishful thinking?

You know it's finals time when you see people walking around tight-lipped. Law school is not a happy place when finals come 'round.
Perhaps this is why the school calls the week before finals, "Dead Week".
Anyway, took down the Touya layout until the grand unveiling. Will revise the Sakura website sometime soon . . . maybe after finals? (And Eve, I'm so glad to hear you got to England safely. I hope you have lots of fun!)

Sa-chan, I just read your comment in the guestbook. Is the image still not working? If it's not, that's kind of strange, as I downloaded the new image on Tuesday and when I visit the page, the image does pop up. If you could check again, that would be lovely.
Anyway, if any of you HTML goddesses have any criticisms on the Touya layout or the Sakura web page, do tell. Your criticisms would be most appreciated. I'm such a novice when it comes to web layout/design, so any criticism would help enormously; I definitely want the sites to be as good as they can be. Criticisms on content, layout, colors (though Sa-chan seems to like 'em on the Sakura web page XD), etc. would be cherished, loved, hugged and cared for. And definitely heeded.
I plan on taking down the Touya layout soon, though, and, if I get criticisms on the layout, fix it and then post it up. I'm actually happy and rather pleased that I managed to finish my layouts early. (But then, I did finish my layouts at the expense of actually doing reading for my classes, preparing for finals, etc., so I suppose I really should be worried. XD)
Okay, that's enough begging for criticism.
