I'm Ba-ack!!

Hello Boys and Girls! I know I've been gone a while but I had finals so I had to take a little break. But the wait is over. I am finally on vacation, for the first time since I started law school! I can't even express how happy I am right now.
My life has been pretty hectic over the past few days though. I could not have predicted my first few days would go like this. I witness two fights in two days; the first was between crazy strangers, the second was between crazy friends. Each time, I didn't even know the people and both took place at the pool. What is it with people trying to ruin my pool time!!? Well, I'm over it, but I was pretty disappointed that the first few hrs after my final, I found myself holding one of the fighters back!
I spent all day Friday with 3 really good friends. Literally, all day! We did laundry (which usually is not fun, but we managed to make it pretty good). Then we got pedicures followed by window-shopping at Target lol. There is a delightful Mexican restaurant in Waco, El Chico. Looks kinda grungy but we had dinner there at it was GREAT! We decided that for the rest of the night we were in Mexico! Our night ended at about 2 am after going swimming in the "ocean" (aka the pool at the Grove!) That was hands down one of the best nights I've had in Waco.
Now I'm in Trinidad, visiting the fam. It's the first time I've been back in a year and it feels pretty good. I must admit, I was a bit skeptical because I thought I would be exhausted and irritable after traveling all day but I am in a surprisingly good mood. Last night, I got about 4 hrs of sleep because I drove to Dallas last night rather than trying to drive there in the morning before my 10:30 flight. Arrived in Dallas at 1:30, went to bed at 3, then woke at 7:30...fun fun! Then when I got in tonight, my little sister was so tired and I felt bad so I did the dishes for her and cleaned the kitchen. Yup, I've been home 5 hrs and I am already doing chores. I don't mind though, I think washing dishes is relaxing (esp. because I don't cook, I have to earn my keep somehow right?) It's 11:55 Trinidad time and I am watching Criminal Minds. I don't know why 1. they air this show so late at night and 2. I watch it this late. It always scares the heck out of me! But I can't resist; this is the best drama on TV.
All in all, despite a rough-ish start, I've been having a great past few days.
