Who is Anita?...
Anita is a modern woman.
She is a dreamer, an artist, and a poet that constantly lives in her imagination. Hopes to travel to meet somewhat poetic minds.
Interests include music, photography, culture.
Occasional melancholic account of getting by as a lonely single woman who is overwhelmed by a big city and tales of her deterred efforts to climb the socio-corporate ladder.
Interests: Moved to the Atlanta Midtown area. Quite enjoying what it feels like to live in the city and be close, literally close to the city and so far away from anything resembling suburbian life. With that trying to develop new interests, like
coffeehouses, the best Starbucks, poetry readings, vintage stores, and "boutique-ing". I am still hoping on a career in international law so I suppose being close to the city helps, to experience whatever culture there is.
Reading: I actually have a Master's Degree. No Shit! The Degree sits in my cabinet with my undergraduate degree and law school certificate handed to me by the Supreme Court. None of them are framed. Why bother! That's just how I feel about it - all that work and
no payoff. STILL NO PAYOFF. THE UN CAREER EVADES ME.
Listening: I just got Gavin DeGraw's new CD, aptly titled Gavin DeGraw. It is so not good. He just ruined the songs compared to hearing them live. Also, Sara Bareilles' Little Voice. The first song I responded to this year was "Love Song." And since then I became a fan. Her CD is a valiant effort, reminds me of Toby Lightman. Very moody, over-produced girly pop.
Watched: Just saw Keanu in Street Kings. Very Blah on everything except Keanu. He delivered a very controlled performance, more than I can say for Forest Whitaker. Seeing him with controlled rage on film is such a huge payoff for an Keanu fan. Too bad people didn't respond as well to the movie. Just saw Little Children on cable. Very amazing, factual, and in-your-face type of movie. It reminded me of American Beauty. Kate Winslet
is a gem when she's in her element.

I saw Rocky Balboa over the Xmas holidays. It was actually pretty good. Makes you feel like you can take on the world. You come out of it with a sense of strength ready to get hit and counter every hit. But life doesn't work out that way. I grew up on Rocky movies, I went to Philly to climb the Rocky steps for my birthday so maybe I am a litte partial. Seeing Sly so old is just a shock, what age does to you, is just mmmmph. I just hate that the movie is getting a bad rap, when it is really a great movie.
So Happy New Year to me! Hopefully, I won't get hit quite so many times in 2007. Hopefully, I can take it, hopefully it won't hurt so much.

And the good news is...
That I am now the happy owner of a Master's degree.
LL.M with merit that's how they put it.
Am I proud of my self. Hell yeah!
Am I hopeful this will open a door. I fucking hope so cos it was so bleeding hard.
I just feel like this is the end of my trying to prove something to yself. That I could still go back to school and pass an exam. Most of all, that I have not gone stupid. That years of working at restaurants and burger joints and cafes have not turned me stupid.
The good news is I can tick the highest level of education section as "Masters" or "Graduate Degree" And no one can take that from me.

It's funny. I've been home for over 4 days from my NYC trip and I havem't felt the need to write about it. It was just awful. Everything about it was awful, from going to coming back. And I sorta knew it was going to be awful when I scheduled it, and realized we were flying (to my sister's advisement) into LGA instead of Newark where the hotels are cheaper. But I listened to her and her empty promises yet again before I bought the tickets and she promised to secure hotel or make accommodations for us in NYC. All of a sudden I wait and wait and I don't hear a thing, so I knew it was all on me to get the hotel and plan transportation, etc. So there it was. So began the hellacious trip.
Because it was so hellacious I don't have any fond memories of it, a few tidbits here and there. but it so wasnt worth the money I spent which was close to a 1200 dollars on a 2-day trip. Since I spent all my money and cannot take a Xmas trip like I envisioned, I would have to stay home for Xmas, and possibly turn in a better update and summarize this hellacious year.
