A Means to an End

"Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it's who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment."

- Anthony Robbins

I Don't Need That!

What do you call someone who isn't really a pessimist but who doesn't want to expect anything just so they won't get disappointed... oh ya you call them a KRYSTA. So finals are over and I'm not so happy with the outcome so far, but you now what, I have come to the conclusion that I am too hard on myself. I don't need to be numero uno or top dog. No, I just need to do my very best, and if that's not A material than I don't want your stinkin' A (ya I do). No matter what the outcome of my grades, all I know is that I worked hard and I'm not cusp of failing or anything so phew to that. I have some tryouts for the trial advocacy team at school and a write on competition for law review I'm currently working on. These two things are super competitive at my school, and almost near impossible to get into, but I'd probably kick myself in the ass if I didn't at least try. So onward with the work.

On the positive side, I managed to do some celebrating after finals :)

OH AND CONGRATS TO MARVELOUS MERV for her WIN WIN situation!!!

Nightmares

So I had my final yesterday, pulled one of those "damn I forgot to do this" momentS, and seriously had dreams all night about my mistakes. I was hoping for an A, now all I want is to pass. FML is it summer yet?

Happy Mother's day

"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path."
-- Agatha Christi




Love you Nanay and Momma, Happy mother's day to you both!

Something Borrowed

So I've been waiting for the movie "Something Borrowed" to come out in theaters ever since I saw the previews on tv. In short it was a cute movie but nothing WOWed me. I hope the book is better than the movie. Took my lobster out to see the movie and he hated that it was all about cheating lol, poor guy got sucked into another one of my chick flicks. It's ok I'll sit through some Fast Five or Tron to make up for it. Something Borrowed, 1 thumb up and 1 thumb half up.

Oh but I did feel kinda cool watching the movie and totally understanding all the law school references. The entire movie, I explained to Russ how I took that class, "oh she's missing that element," and I have that book! hehe.
