He has to do them because of how my Dad pays me. I've been asking this attorney to send me my taxes for the past month. He told me on Monday that they were sent out on Friday and would be there Monday before 10am. Nothing on Monday. Nothing on Tuesday. My Mom called him yesterday (I don't have phone access at school) and he said they weren't sent out and he would try to send them out ASAP. He said I should get them today. I love how he lies to me about this. And the shitty thing is the only time I have to go to the post office is tomorrow or Saturday. I need to be at school next week during the daytime and won't be able to mail them out then. He NEEDS to get his ass moving. Then there's my Dad. Who told me that he would pay for my taxes becasue I don't have the money to. So, I finally get the attorney to tell me what I owe and it's a pretty big amount. Like around $2200. So I call my Dad and tell him I need him to send me a check ASAP. 'Cause I need time to deposit it and have it clear before the IRS cashes the check I end up sending to them. He doesn't call me back. And so I keep leaving messages about this for him because no check is in my hands as of yet. So, at this point I don't have my taxes to mail in and even if I did I don't have any money to pay them with. Then I talk to Carrie yesterday and she's freaking out. People have been getting letters from the bar committee saying where they will be taking the bar and all that jazz. Neither she nor I have received anything yet. So, she calls them (multiple times) and after getting the run around finds out that they claim to never have received her signed declaration. It was never returned to her in the mail. This means that she loses her current application status, has to give them more money, and pretty much has no choice about where or how to take the bar. Considering the fact that I have also not received anything from them I'm thinking that I should give them a call tomorrow or Monday. *sigh* I really don't need any more stress right now. I'm on break between classes right now and just finished up an ass-ton of reading. I'm also drinking coffee by the gallon. There's a coffee machine in the caf and I'm putting it to good use. I'm way tired and need to stay awake for my night class (Cyber Law) and my drive home. Last week I did the coffee thing (about 5 cups) and was wide awake into the wee hours of the morning. I'm going to try 4 today. Ah, the life of a law student. Caffeine and stress. It's a wonder I'm not an alcoholic or a smoker.
Weight lost on my infomercial diet so far: 5 lbs. My current goal is 10 lbs per month. I don't think it's unrealistic and it seems a decent healthy pace to strive for. But if I'm not at 10 lbs after the first month of this diet I think I'll look for something else or consider surgery. I have a feeling I'll be up a pound or two tomorrow because of the sheer amount of machine sweetened coffee that I'm consuming today.
