Where'd it go?!?!

Yes, of course, I'm talking about the weekend. I don't know where it goes all the time? At least this weekend I got a lot done for my trial and even managed to spend a bit of time with a couple of friends.
My new friend Jennifer, aka Cinnamon, introduced me to an AMAZING Italian restaurant in West Seattle on Saturday. It was so good I went back with my friend Fina on Sunday! That was my entire discretionary spending for this two-week pay period, but it was well worth it. The restaurant is a small, hard-to-spot place on Beach Drive in West Seattle. The atmosphere is cozy - you might have to stand on tip-toe to maneuver around tables and other diners in order to reach your table. And I am sure they have a restroom but I have no idea where they'd fit it.
Anyhow, the bread is delicious; I may be able to get the recipe if Jennifer's sister pulls through! The bruschetta is yummy, and each entree I tasted was too scrumptious. I had grilled halibt cooked with lemon, pepper, and garlic. It was served with pasta in a tomato sauce and grilled veggies. Jen had the salmon, served similarly. For those of you who know my picky eating, the salmon was great! And Fina had the spaghetti bolognese, of which there was not a drop left by the time we were done with our meal! The restaurant is called La Rustica and I highly recommend it.
It's getting down the wire on EVERYTHING. I had to go to the bookstore and shell out another $80 (after spending nearly $600 at the beginning of the semester) for a supplement for one of my classes. I lived without it all semester long but my prof just told us that she is going to test us on some of the info in there, so I had to bit the bullet. I only have 6 more days of class left after today. I have so much to do before graduation on May 14th that I am alternating between being giddy with excitement that I am so close and paralyzed with anxiety about all I have to get done IN ORDER to graduate. All prayers, study vibes, and other means of support are greatly appreciated!
Oh, and of course after all that...I'm also still trying to find a job for after the bar exam! If anyone knows of anyone hiring an attorney...let me know!
