It is a Pain not Fitting in...
...to anything!
So much has happened. December 12th, 2006 was my 4th year anniversary. It is now four whole years since I first set foot on the soil of the "U.S. and A" straight from the Repulic of Iran and I am a somewhat different gal today than I was back then. I am now a 20 some pounds heavier, notary public, real estate broker, JD-to be/ lawyer-to-be Iranian girl who has lost her place in the world while adding so many extra pounds to her body as well licenses to her wall!!
Tonight, I am to be appreciated and acknowledged for my PR efforts and trying to fit into my clothes has been a torture all day! Feels like I am pregnant with twins or something. Imagine having to walk on the stage with this protruding belly and the big fat persian buttocks. I hate it so so sooo much but cannot do anything about it as school will start soon, 15 units plus studying for the bar, and no time will be left for exercising. Add to that the traditional persian gathering at Vegas for Christmas, for which we will be leaving tomorrow, and the pounds gained from the delicious "Paris" breakfasts and the lunch buffets and all. I have not been able to fit into jeans for the past months and it hurts oh so very much. Oh well, guess I will just be a big fat persian lawyer! Happy Holidays y'all.
Love, APGIC+25

So Lawyer-ly:
Here is an email a fellow lawschooler sent me during the finals:
For My Lawyer Friends:
"Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. And without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes. By accepting these greetings you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself or himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher."
For My Non-Lawyer Friends: Merry Christimas and a Happy New Year
