365-Day Project: July 1-4 and a quick update

July 5th, 2009 by laura

I haven’t taken the photo for today yet, but I want to get back in the habit of regularly updating this thing.

This is my first post from my new MacBook Pro. Yep, I’ve gotten a Mac, and it’s awesome so far. It’s not too much different for me to get used to since I use Macs at work, anyway. Robert says this computer is now the most powerful one we have in the house. It’s definitely much faster than my old Dell, which was about four years old. It runs Photoshop a lot faster, which is helpful for my photos.

This week, I also went to different classes at Las Vegas Athletic Club. I’m finding I like the classes a lot more than working out on my own. This week, I tried pilates, kickboxing, spinning (exercise bike), body pump (muscle toning), and body flow (a mixture of tai chi, pilates and yoga). I think I’d like to try zumba, which is dancing, but I’ll probably look like an idiot doing it. I’m not the most coordinated person in the world.

I think I’m meant to do yoga. I’m extremely flexible around my limbs, and I can mostly accomplish the flexibility exercises with ease. I really have to work on my form and strength, though, because I don’t really feel like I look graceful doing it.

I also signed up to take the LSAT in September. I don’t know 100 percent yet that I am going to law school, but I have definitely been thinking about it. I’m just not sure if I’m going to be able to go anywhere in my current career. I love it, but I can’t stay where I am forever, and more and more, I feel like it may end up that way if I don’t change something.

If I did go to law school, I would like to do some sort of legal writing, perhaps helping out other lawyers who aren’t as good at writing, or I would like to be a civil rights attorney. I still become really impassioned about civil rights violations.

Nothing is set in stone yet. That is the key thing. I’m just going to take the LSAT and apply to Boyd Law and see where it goes.

OK, enough updating. Back to photos.

David has made an appearance in the 365-Day Project! Yay! David and I went to Roma Deli before seeing "Easy Virtue," which was a pretty good independent movie. We were the only ones in the theater. Ha ha. I tried to take a photo of him sitting alone in the theater, but I didn't have my real camera with my, and my iPhone couldn't handle the lack of light. They just don't make 'em like they make SLRs.

This was a week for visiting friends. My friend Jonson was in town and took me, Robert and Jane to an authentic Chinese restaurant called KJ Kitchen. I really liked it, but I'm afraid Robert wasn't too fond of it. I think it was a little weird for him. The next thing I'd like to try is dim sum.

A lamp in my parents' backyard. They redesigned their backyard about a year ago, and it looks really nice now. Lots of desert landscaping.

Julia's boyfriend, Alex, shows his pyro side by playing with what he calls "Wolverine sparklers." His dad has a second job doing pyrotechnic-firework shows, so Alex knows a lot about fireworks.
