Sir Limps-A-Lot
So Sunday night I started experiencing some moderate pain in my right foot whenever I put weight on it. I figured it was from the 7 hour shift that I pulled Saturday night waiting tables. I hosted yesterday and tried my hardest to hide my limp, but it was last night that the pain when from moderate to severe, and from only when I put weight on it to constant.
I'm going to head over to get some x-rays and see what the heck is going on.
On a brighter note, after I get my foot checked out, I'm going over to look at some chihuahuas, and hopefully I'll have a new addition to my home by the end of the day.

Quarter Life
So, I've never been good at confronting people, whether it's telling someone what you want out of your job, telling someone they're being a dick or just telling someone that they've hurt my feelings. It's always been my biggest weakness. Well, I don't know what has happened to me in the last week and a half, but I'm starting to confront people, like immediately. And it doesn't even phase me.
Now, don't get me wrong, if I don't care about you, I'm not going to use any energy to confront you, but if I do care about you, I will.
Confrontation #1 "Hire me!"
Called a particular office and basically said, "Hey, I'm willing to wait tables for the next 3 months until there is a job opening, but you need to call me when you get an opening, because I've been trying to work there for the past 2 years, and I probably have more passion then half the people who work for you".
Confrontation #2 "Shut the hell up"
Emailed a person I thought was a friend of mine, but that I heard was talking shit and basically told her to stop talking about me period.
Confrontation #3 "Get over yourself"
Asked a friend to stop avoiding spending time with me because he hates one or several of my friends. Told him that it's starting to hit me personally and that he can't just blow off celebrations like my birthday because there's a person present who pissed him off 8 months ago.
I think/hope this is good for me, especially since I've always been such a damn wuss about everything. But the way I see it, if someone is doing something to hurt me, or there's something that I want, I need to speak up, or else I'm just going to dwell on it and nothing is ever going to come of it.
Ah...becoming an adult...

I'm not really a waitress...
I've had a busy and very fun week since I found out that I passed the bar exam. Friday night was unbelievably fun. We went to In the Raw for a fabulous dinner, then to Jewel, Brookside Bar and Another Round. It was pouring down rain, so I did get soaked, but it didn't make a difference. I could tell exactly when the alcohol started to take over as soon as I started going up to people and exclaiming, "I'm a Lawya!" Good times :)
Yesterday, I had my first experience at the Tulsa Zoo, and let me tell you, it smelled bad, but I cannot get enough of all those little animals. My favorites were the monkeys, the extremely fat frog and the sea lions.
Last night, I tried something out that I've always wanted to do. I went to a trivia night at Prive. It was so much fun. We had a huge group and even though we got 3rd place, we all had a blast, and fairly small bar tabs (apparently Prive is closing down, so it seems that they are practically giving away drinks). I dunno.
Today, I got a job. No, not a job as an attorney...but a job as a waitress AND bartender. I just went in for the serving job, but she asked me if I could start bartending Saturday and Sunday brunch and lunch. This will be perfect, because now I can take my time finding a law job and wait for a really great job. Plus, once I start working as a lawyer, I can still work a few shifts a week at the restaurant for extra money.
Another thing that happened today, was one of my attorney friends got appointed as the conflict attorney for our county, which means, whenever there is a conflict (usually for child abuse and domestic violence) between child and parent, he represents the child. AND he said he wants me to help him out, which means, I'll get experience in something I love, and again, make some more money until I figure out what it is that I'm going to do with this law degree.
Alright, well, I'm tired, I had a very long happy hour today and it's time to lay down.
