Cute break!

Posted on July 09, 2008
Sorry, I've been lazy in the blogging and haven't continued in my politicking series. I will soon. Right now I either have some sort of cold, or horrible allergies. After work today, I'm going to go home and go to bed and hope that Cora will play by herself/nap long enough to allow this...

Politicking: The War in Iraq

Posted on July 02, 2008
Here is the first part of several political blogs. Enjoy (or not): Issue 1. McCain is for continuing the war in Iraq, Obama wants to pull out and put in more troops in Afghanistan. On McCain's website, he outlines "The Importance of Succeeding in Iraq...

Politicking: The Process of Choosing a Candidate

Posted on July 01, 2008
I don't often write about politics here. (I usually save my politicking to bore friends to death on my personal blog.) But I was recently asked (via email) about my views, and reasons for my choice of candidate (Barack Obama), so here we go.I should also make the disclaimer that I'm not going to put a great deal of time and effort into this...

Stuck

Posted on June 30, 2008
Sometimes I feel stuck. Not in life per se, but more geographically stuck. My husband has always been willing to move somewhere else for my career. He was an Army brat; it's not a big deal to him. Also, he can get work anywhere. But I often feel like I've missed out by not leaving "home" and going somewhere else...

Six month pictures

Posted on June 28, 2008
One of my good friends is a photography student. She took Cora's six month pictures a couple weeks ago, which are just beautiful. She definitely captured what a little ham she is!

Update

Posted on June 25, 2008
Not much interesting to report. Working part time, and it's been kinda slow (the boss has been enjoying the weather and playing some golf). Spending time with Cora and watching a lot of TV. Mostly X-Files since I'm going back and watching old episodes in anticipation of the new movie, but I occasionally let Cora watch some TV too -- she really likes Baby Monet, she'd watch it all day if I let her...

More reasons law school sucks

Posted on June 13, 2008
Husband and I, and three of our friends took a trip to Hawaii in January of '06, and it was fantastic. Three of us stayed with my friend who's in the Air Force and lives in Honolulu, the other two stayed in Waikiki. It was just incredible. I always thought Hawaii would be overpriced and overrated, but it was truly worth every penny spent (not to mention the free place to stay was awesome)...

Pissed

Posted on June 11, 2008
I got a bad grade in Medical Liability, a freaking C plus! I am so pissed off! Tax, I understood the bad grade, but I knew the Med Liability material backwards and forwards. I even actually did all the reading all semester and took good notes and outlined! I'm going to talk to the professor about it in the fall...

Chatterbox

Cora was having a good time talking to Grandpa... then she tried to eat the phone.

Grades

Posted on June 06, 2008
I'm still missing one grade (from an adjunct professor who apparently hasn't submitted them yet), but overall I was pleased with my grades this semester. I stayed within the confines of mediocrity, and got B's, although this was definitely my most solid semester, even going above the curve...

Champagne and sour grapes

Posted on June 04, 2008
Last night was our 2-year wedding anniversary. We technically celebrated on Saturday, sans baby, since we had a sitter. We got gussied up and went to a fancy dinner. Last night we cooked at home, and celebrated by having family time, watching the results come in from Montana and South Dakota, and drinking a bottle of Dom Perignon 1995*...

Pirates! Arrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Posted on June 03, 2008
I'm not exactly a hardcore advocate of intellectual property rights. For instance, I think it's pretty lame that it's illegal to download a TV show off the internet, when you can tape it off the TV with a VCR. If, hypothetically speaking of course, I download an episode of Doctor Who instead of waiting three weeks for it to air in the US on Sci-Fi Channel (trying to avoid spoilers from the Brits who've already seen them), what does it matter? It doesn't harm anyone...

Confidence

Posted on June 01, 2008
For the past two years of law school, I've really felt all along that I just don't know enough. I don't feel that in any of my classes, even the ones I got good grades in, that I fully grasped all of the concepts of that area of law. Some of them, I'm pretty sure I didn't grasp a single concept of the law (i...

Recent Cora

Posted on May 28, 2008
I've been such a "serious" blogger lately, I figure it's time to post some pics so you can oooh and aaahh about how cute my kid is.Cora and her "big sister." She's finally discovered the dog. The dog loves Cora. They're kindred spirits. They're both rather disgusting...

Friendship

Posted on May 23, 2008
I figured since I'd started dissecting my post about what makes my life as a parent easier, I would continue that series. This time, I wanted to talk about the friends that have helped us along the way.I have a friend who has often chided me for having "too many" friends...

Co-Parenting and Partnership

Posted on May 21, 2008
In my last post, I mentioned that I am extremely lucky to have a husband who is both a partner and a co-parent.* I wanted to describe exactly what that means to us, and how we each got to that point.I was raised in an extremely conservative evangelical faith [i...

On Constructive Criticism

Posted on May 19, 2008
Law School Mom wrote a post a few days ago complaining about how there is no real honest dialog throughout the blogosphere, (I assume specifically in the Moms in Law circle) about the difficulties of balancing family life and law/law school. However, if you make a call for honest dialog, don't then disable the comments on the post...

Book Review: A Prisoner of Birth

Posted on May 16, 2008
A Prisoner of Birth is a novel about revenge and redemption by Jeffrey Archer. Its protagonist, Danny Cartwright, is wrongly convicted of his best friend?s murder and sentenced to life in prison, torn away from his fianc�e and child. Because Cartwright is uneducated and from the ?wrong? end (East End) of London, the jury chooses to believe the testimony of four ?respectable? blokes from the West End who refer to themselves as the ?Musketeers...

Happy Belated Mother's Day

Posted on May 12, 2008
Yesterday we decided to skip mass like bad Catholics, and spend most of the day in bed. It was storming in the morning, so it was nice and cozy. I got Cora out of her crib at 8, and brought her to bed with us after she ate/was changed. She played for awhile and then took a nap with us...

Health Insurance = Suck

Posted on May 08, 2008
I hate insurance companies. I sooooooo hate insurance companies. I have friends in the insurance industry, and I certainly wouldn't want them to be out of jobs, but I really just want to see the entire industry flattened and replaced with a [working] system of non-profit, hassle-free medical coverage...

New job

Posted on May 06, 2008
I started my new job yesterday. I'm working part-time for a plaintiff's attorney who does products liability and personal injury. I like it a bazillion times better than my old firm, to the point that I almost wish it were a full time job. (Almost!)First, I have my own office...

Reflections from a Mom in Law School

Posted on May 04, 2008
Thus ends 2L year. A whole lot of good, and plenty of suck to go with it, but we made it through relatively unscathed. And we?re ready for an awesome summer!Having a baby during the second year of law school was pretty crazy. I knew it would be tough, but it was easier in some ways and much harder in others...

Sad

Posted on May 03, 2008
Poor Eight Belles. (This is what happens when I bet on horses. I'm serious. I am really bad luck when it comes to horse racing. Don't get me started about Barbaro) I was sure she'd win the Derby, she was a great contender. The sweet, pretty girl came in second, her final race...

Finished!

Posted on May 03, 2008
I am finished with finals, and with 2L. What a good feeling that is!Anyway, I said I'd post about the baptism and such. We had a ton of family come down for the baptism, so the weekend in the middle of finals I got to entertain a ton of family, and then get the house ready for the reception after the baptism last Sunday...

One more to go!

Posted on May 01, 2008
Tomorrow's my last final, and it's the FINAL of DOOM: International Environmental Law. Since I got a rude, impromptu study session during my graduate school comps when an IE law essay question popped up, I feel moderately prepared for this exam. We can bring in our outlines and our book too, so it's not so bad...

Mid-Finals Cry For Mercy

Posted on April 30, 2008
I can't take it anymore. If I read one more boring-ass word of the GATT, the GATS, the TRIPs, or any other stupid-ass acronym, my head will explode. Three finals down, two to go, and I am seriously fatigued! The last of The Family left today, so life can return to normal (other than crappy-ass* finals)...

Drunk

Posted on April 26, 2008
Hells yeah... Post-graduation tradition: Going out to the same local watering hole, and getting completely trashed. Solving world's problems with the assistance of my classmates.Tonight was graduation for my Graduate Program. While I don't know my fellow graduates very well (they all started after I had left the program for law school, so I never had classes with them), I appreciate the camaraderie they have with one another, because I had (and still have) that with those classmates I entered with...

Hooded

Posted on April 24, 2008
There's nothing that makes your ass look bigger than an academic robe. Geez!That's right, I passed my graduate comprehensive exams! (Even though there was an unfortunate essay question on international environmental law, ugh.) Graduation is tomorrow night, although we don't wear caps and gowns for it, just professional attire...

Going on hiatus

Posted on April 09, 2008
I have my graduate program comprehensive exams in a week and a half. Eight hour long written exam next Friday, and then an hour long oral exam with a panel of my professors on the Monday afterwards (which is the first week of final exams at the law school)...

Misadventures of a Mom in Law School

Posted on April 06, 2008
I should never be allowed to travel. Ever. Again.I love to travel. It?s one of my passions, and the basis for pursuing a degree in international relations. But I have terrible luck.My graduate program had arranged two very exciting events in two days...
