Well, I finished my very first law school class today. Legal analysis, research, and writing. Yuck. Surprisingly, it wasn't too bad. It was four hours long, so that was terrible, but it wasn't even 1/10 as terrifying as I expected. I had heard that my professor was the hardest professor a 1L can have at TX Wesleyan, so I expected him to be really intimidating and mean. He was actually really nice and approachable. He did tell us straight up, though, that we are going to hate his class. OH oh, and here's the great part: it's one of the classes I have for two semesters, rather than one. But, anyway, I feel so much better about school than I did yesterday. Jenn talked to me both days and I think she will agree that today was much better than yesterday. I already have tons of reading, a writing assignment, and several cases to brief before Monday and Tuesday, but I am determined to enjoy my weekend. Speaking of, I really hope Nicholas gets over here soon. Yayyyy for the weekend! I'm refusing to do any more homework until Sunday. We learned how to brief cases today. That is definitely going to be an acquired skill. It was tough.
Hahaha, by the way, random piece of information: we discussed for almost an hour a case in which the donor had given the donee an engagement ring on the condition that they get married (basically, he proposed lol) and then donor broke the engagement off and sued donee to get the ring back. We learned what the law is pertaining to that situation in which states. Haha, of course I would learn that my first day of law school.
On another note, do I have a note stapled on my forehead that says "Annoying people, please come to me!"? Because I'm starting to think that I do. I attracted more than one of those people today. My mom says it's because I'm approachable. If anyone has any thought on how to become unapproachable, please let me know. Thanks.
I am absolutely exhausted. I don't have enough energy today to be clever, I apologize. I hope all is well for everyone! And now...the puppies:
Frank: i pooped in the floor today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beans: Ugh. Frank. Is. An. Idiot.
Tianna: True story. Frank pooped in my floor while I was gone...even though he has a perfectly good doggy door. OH, and here's the great part: he pooped about six inches inside of the doggy door. Seriously! "Tianna," you may ask, "how do you know it was Frank?" To that I respond, "(insert your name here), the poop was the size of Beans' entire body. I do believe Frank has finally pooped up the infamous penny."

Syllabi, Peni, and Pennies
*note: random, off topic thoughts will now appear in a different color and italics. There will be many, you all know how I am
Well, today is my last stress free day. Orientation starts at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon and I'm quite nervous. Tomorrow should be a realatively easy day, however. We just have a couple meetings about "How to Survive Law School" and introductory kind of things. Friday will suck, however. I have my first class Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. with Professor Simon, otherwise known as Satan. This isn't good. I finally have all of my syllabi *That's such a fun word "syllabi". It's like "peni" (the word one uses when describing more than one penis, although I'm not exactly sure why one speaks of more than one penis at a time), only cooler because "syllabi" is actually a word. After extensive research, I have discovered that "peni" is in fact a word I made up in my head. But, considering that I have a degree in English, I think if I say it's a word, then damnit it's a word!!!* Anyway, I finally have all of my syllabi and all of my first week assignments. So basically I already have a large load of homework. I tried to get a good jump on it last night, but Nick came over and distracted me. You all know I was ok with that, though.
On another note, I received a letter from my housing complex yesterday warning me of an increasing number of break ins around here lately. Awesome! So much for my landlord telling me there had been no crime around here in the three years she has lived here.
*note: dream sequences will be written in blue. And you all know there will be a lot, I have crazy dreams.
Last night I had a dream that Brooke, Amanda, and I were at a carnival or fair or some such something with rides and games. Details are fuzzy, but I do know that we were all preparing to go to some sort of graduate school. Amanda and I were going to OSU and I'm not sure where Brooke was going (um, can you say anxiety about starting a new school next week? Is this sounding familiar to anyone? It was just like senior year of high school again). Anyway, we were at this thing and Brooke and Amanda were running up a water slide backward and Coach Richardson was yelling at them. Then we rented these sweet little Go-Go-Gadget individual helicopters and were flying around. They were making fun of me because my fear of heights was really kicking in. Then, suddenly, Amanda and I were driving to Stillwater to start school. Only, we weren't roommates. I had a roommate named Ashley...and when we arrived at the dorm, my roommate was none other than Amanda's old sorority sister, Ashley! It was a strange dream. I just wanted to share it.
Well, I need to go get my day started. I hope everyone is having a good week so far.
Jenn: Don't forget the Real World tonight and I hope your toe feels better soon.
Kristin: Keep your head up and take care of yourself.
The dogs would now like to update you on the happenings in their lives.
Frank: last night, nick threw a penny at mom. i ate it. i ate it. i ate it before they could stop me. yuuuuuuuum. then they locked me out of that room upstairs. but thats ok because i ate moms highlighter and nicks chapstick. yummmm. i like that guy and all but he sure does get a lot more attention than me. so i ate penny and his chapstick. take that pretty boy!
Beans: Frank. Is. An. Idiot.
I miss chasing squirrels in our old, giant backyard. All I have to do here is sit around and work on solving the mysteries of quantum physics and devise a plan for global domination. It's tough being a genius trapped in a body like this. My owner -I call her that only because she feeds me, she's actually a pawn in my e-vil plot to take over the world- tried to find me a girlfriend. She claims my other silly pawn in my evil plot, AKA Nick, has a beautiful female mutt named Abby. I seriously have reservations about letting those two set me up on a blind date, however. I mean, come one, we have all seen their taste in the opposite sex. While I may be of an entirely different species, I think I know bad taste when I see it! But, what is this they tell me?! Abby is dating a pit bull? And it is serious?! She urinates in his yard everyday during her walk. Now that is commitment. But, really, a pit bull? Oh the shame. I am just not sure that I even want to be associated with someone who urinates in pit bull's yards. It is just not right. I must go now. It is time to lick my weiner while contemplating world domination.

Our First Adventure
Well, it's 10:38 A.M. on one of my last short days of freedom. I got a new computer and decided to start a blog. I know...it's ridiculous. But I'm so far away from everyone and, to be honest, I'm used to having Jenn around pretty much 24/7 to listen to me vent. So, this is now my new outlet. Maybe it will get me out of a little bit of homework. Currently, it's getting me out of going to Best Buy and Petsmart, taking a library tour on campus, and beginning my reading assignments. Ha!
Anyway, I just wanted a way to keep everyone updated on The Adventures of Tianna, Frank, and Beans. Frank and Beans will be posting updates periodically, as well. I'm aware Jenn may be the only person who reads this. And that's ok with me :)
And, p.s., Jeff is in town and came over for a few beers last night. Anyone who knows what happened last time Jeff, Frank, and I were in the same room knows that things did not end well for Frank (hence him sleeping with Jenn that night). And, well, I'll just let Frank tell you about last night:
last night, i was just sitting at home, enjoying myself and looking cute like usual. suddenly, there was a knock on the door. naturally, i lept up to protect my master and growl menacingly at the would-be intruder, or lick him to death, depending who it was. then, to my horror, jeff/cameron/whatever his name is came stolling through the door like he owned the place! i remember what happened last time i saw that guy. he tried to bludgeon me to death with one of those stick things those crazy people are always pointing at the crazy box thing and laughing hysterically at. you know what im talking about. he claimed it was momma who did it. i dont believe him. i remember it very clearly. i was sitting innocently in the floor when he walked up to me, told me he hated me, and clobbered me with that stick thingy. i remember and i have a memory like an elephant...
wait, what was i talking about
oh right. i remember. so i proceeded to whine and tuck my tail under my legs for the rest of the evening and stay the heck away from that crazy mean man for the rest of the night. i know it was him who wacked me that night. bastard.
Beans: Frank. Is. An. Idiot.
