Still awake.

Is it because I'm still trying to finish NY Practice I and won't let myself sleep until I do? No, nothing like that at all.

Instead, I think I have heartburn or something. I found some Pepcid pills somewhere in my bag and took one, so hopefully this will subside soon and I can go to sleep. But right now, it's just too damn uncomfortable to even try to sleep, even though my eyes keep closing. This hardly ever happens. I'm not sure what caused it. But I don't think it's from studying for the bar. ;-)

Anyway, being awake has enabled me to delve a little bit into NY Practice II. Yay. Now, as far as pages, I am a little more than 1/4 of the way through CMR and almost 1/2 through my lecture notes. Whee. (Mmm. Cotton candy on the Food Network now. Sweet sweet stuff.)

I also got to watch 2 episodes of the Next Food Network Star and I'm hooked. I had no idea so much preparation went into making a cooking show. But it's even further proof that the 30 minute meals really aren't 30 minute meals. They're only 30 minutes if someone else bought all the ingredients, prepared them and had them ready for you, so all you had to do was cook. Of course I could cook in 30 minutes if I had everything done for me (or if I could chop like an Iron Chef).

All the contestants seem really nice, and I found myself not wanting anyone to get kicked off. It looked like so much fun. It's hard to pick just one person/team to root for since they all have good qualities, but I think I found myself rooting for the gay couple from Chicago. I thought they just worked really well together. I liked their relationship. Oh, and the guy who had to frost the cake with the potato peeler? That was hilarious. And one reason to be glad you're not on a TV show? Reading a teleprompter seems like it's brutal.

Alright, maybe I'll read appearances and then go to sleep before tackling venue. Or try to sleep or something. Maybe fall asleep listening to PMBR CDs... :)
