I think I smell a way to pay for law school...

Super-sized Mother Determined to Become World's Fattest Woman
This was an article linked to my iGoogle page the other day. It gets more ridiculous the further you read.

Article highlights:

"Donna, who wears XXXXXXXL dresses, eats mounds of junk food and tries to move as little as possible.”

"'I'd love to be 1,000lb,' she said.'It might be hard though. Running after my daughter keeps my weight down.'"

 “To fund the massive $750 weekly food shop, she runs a website where men pay her to watch her eat fast food."

Lovely.  I wonder if I could start a website where people would pay to watch me eat...;)

Any takers???

Hail to the Victors

Getting into Michigan Law was just SUCH a huge shock for me. It was my pie-in-the-sky dream school, and I thought I had absolutely no shot at all! I’ll never forget the way I felt when my mom handed me the big UPS package after I got home from work and saw the UM seal on the envelope. I honestly think it was one of the happiest moments of my life—which is kind of a sad statement on my life, but still. :D

Now that the initial euphoria is wearing off, I’m getting increasingly concerned about the $160,000 price tag on law school. I keep trying to wrap my mind around how much money that actually is. I could get 128 Macbook Pros (6 if I wanted them gold and diamond encrusted), 106,666 king-sized bars of German chocolate (did someone say my own chocolate waterfall?), and 200 Shar-pei puppies.

It is such a huge amount of money that I can’t wrap my mind around it, and get a headache every time I try! Emory and USC Law are both offering me at least half-tuition scholarships, but who am I kidding? Of course I’m going to U of M. And they know it too, as they haven’t offered me a cent. Sigh. But I recently saw a picture of the Michigan Law reading room:

Maybe $160,000 and 200 Shar-pei puppies is worth getting to pretend to be at Hogwarts.
