Trying to sound intelligent

I have nothing witty to put here...clearly i am not doing a good job of sounding intelligent.

So...even though I didn't sleep very much last night, when i woke up this morning i felt full of life. The last time i remember feeling like that when i woke up was over a year ago. I always forget how great it feels. The mock trial went alright. However, the way i felt afterwards was very similar to a feeling i have experience before. When i was a freshman in college and i was taking my first chemistry class i took my very first test...and when i got it back...my stomach flipped and my heart sank immediately. In the class that i had chosen as my major and what i wanted to do for the rest of my life (or at least for a really long time) i had received a 33. Now...i had never gotten an F on anything in my life...and most certainly not a 33! I mean...that's answering 2/3 of the questions wrong!! I thought for sure i had made a big mistake in chosing chemistry as my major. And for the rest of the day i continued to feel like the dumbest person alive! Well...that's how i felt after my mock trial. I was once again humbled by the knowledge that i don't have. Now...despite my awful start to chemistry, i did manage to graduate and actually with a decent GPA, so i'm hoping that will be how it works out with my job too. So i will be starting case work tomorrow. It's definitely intimidating. We got a speech yesterday about how you only have one chance to build up your reputation and it only takes one mistake to loose it forever. Also that our jobs affect the lives of everyone we encounter and that we should make sure we believe what we're saying one hundred percent, or we could put someone in jail for something they didn't do. Now...if that doesn't make get a nervous twitch i don't know what does. So anyway...today i decided that i needed to integrate some new words into my vocabulary. I've decided that i think "fatty bobatty" and "bad mamajama" fit in quite nicely. hehehehe. Don't ask me...i don't even freakin' know. If you will i'm feeling a little "high on life" today. Which is pretty amazing...b/c i haven't felt that way since the day i graduated. So...shitty weather...take that!!! Sadly...i don't have anything utterly profound to talk about today. But that's not really different than any other day. I believe that any and all wittiness that i once had was cruelly zapped out of me by 6 months worth of idleness. Well...CSI is on...so i need to watch it so i can continue my job training ;-)
