productivity and dog doors....

so if i may say so myself WOW! what a productive day this has been. i decided to finally motivate myself and power through writing my law school "personal statement" about why i want to go to law school/be a lawyer, which i had put off partly because i really do HATE personal/creative writing pieces (sorry, d), not from other people, i just hate hate writing them. it's not my strength....at all. also, since i still don't know if i want to go to law school at all, the question of "why?" is a very difficult one and "i can't find a job" doesn't really seem like enough of an essay....anyways i sat around writing, and rewriting awful paragraphs that didn't really say anything. (i even considered utilizing this absolutely ridiculous NYTimes article i saw from yesterday about how the EU is lifting it's ban on "ugly" fruits and vegetables, read it! my personal favorite quote is, from one of the EU agricultural commissioners, "This marks a new dawn for the curvy cucumber and the knobbly carrot,” in the end though, i decided as far as my essay is concerned it probably wasn't best to compare myself to a misshapen fruit). anyways, it was a very frustrating and semi-painful process, but in the end i decided just to write about why i chose my history major and how much, especially senior year, i loved looking at art/architecture not as art but as examples of historical change, (don't worry, i kept the adolf references from senior winter to a minimum) ending with how i would ideally like to practice law in some facet of the art world. its not much and its not entirely done yet, but its the only thing that felt truthful. writing it also made me realize that i need to more seriously consider joint law/history masters programs, because, really, there's nothing i love more than sitting and reading about some good socialist buildings, except possibly broadway.
so anyways, i realize that i'm rambling, but that was basically my day. since i decided to apply so late in the game (these are all due dec. 1), i've been pretty stressed recently about getting it all done, and it's been especially hard to motivate getting these done for a degree i'm not even sure i want to get, but this has given me new focus/energy for the process, so yay!
besides personal statement writing, my day consisted of dog walking the 2 enormous bernese mountain dogs next door (as well as my dog), and then teaching the bernese how to use the dog door into the house. while they looked at me a little oddly the first two times i crawled in and out of the dog door, i think by the 3rd time they had gotten the hang of it....
finally, i thought i would end on the musical note (i mean, obvi) with "springtime for hitler", the big production number from "the producers" (this is from the '05 movie)....so offensive, and so ridiculous
