After the exam, I wept. I probably Am Jured the class.

I arrived in the pit of the library

Posted on November 24, 2007
I arrived in the pit of the library at 10am. It is now 10:45 and I am finally about to begin studying. What have I been doing all this time? I invite you on a tour of inefficiency. 10:00 Get to the library. Note the general forlorn attitude. Unpack crap...

ROFL!While proofing my last post I scrolled down to look at my playlist. What's on my playlist? Evidence - Impeachment.

No Posts Since JULY????

Posted on November 23, 2007
Has it really been THAT long?I've thought about the blog. I've thought about you all.The adage that in your second year they work you to death seems to be true. However, it's not law school that has really worked me to death, it's the "extracurricular" activities that have worked me to death...

Write-On Complaining Part 1

Posted on July 16, 2007
Dear Readers, The write-on competition started Friday. I printed the information this morning and decided to dedicate an hour to it this afternoon.My hour sentence just passed.I have a headache. I had to open Lexis for chrissakes. I haven't read ANYTHING all summer, which is a blog post in itself...

New Little 1Ls

Posted on June 27, 2007
My one year blog-o-versary is coming up in about a week. Where was I a year ago? Nervous about law school, not knowing what to expect, worried as heck about how I was going to pay for everything...Now the 3Ls whose blogs I read a year ago are feverishly preparing for the bar...

Pro Res Question

Posted on June 15, 2007
First of all, thank you everyone for your warm words of support. I need it. I'm still smarting. Ouch. When did you take Pro Res and the MPRE? Is there a preferred time? Do I have to take a prep class? Is it best to take Pro Res in the spring, then take the MPRE in August? A friend of mine is thinking about taking it this fall and taking the MPRE in March...

Honey, If It Didn't Suck, It Wouldn't Be Law School

Posted on June 14, 2007
That's what Mr. D said to me on the way home yesterday after receiving bad grade news. Todays news was even worse. After working harder, doing more practice tests, reading outlines countless times, I have consistently done worse this semester than last...

Best Day Ever!

Posted on June 02, 2007
Mr. D and I had the best day ever the other day. We took a friend home from work and on the way back, we saw a bird shop that was having a sale. Mr. D doubled back. We stopped and ate at Ashland House, a wonderful little restaurant. We ate outside on the patio, surrounded by lush greenery and chirping birds...

I Hate Eggs, But I Love This!

Posted on May 31, 2007
Oh my gosh, this is so cute! I won't eat eggs at all for the most part, but this is just so darn cute! I love cute, I can't help it!!!

Summer School Started Today!

Posted on May 29, 2007
But not for me! I'm at Byzantio having a watermelon martini while Mr. D is in a meeting. I had to go to school today to do some research assistant work. This is the first time I've been on campus since my last exam. I didn't want to go up there. Mr. D didn't want to go there...

Two Recent Yucks

Posted on May 28, 2007
I know we're all glad that I've discovered the joys of including pictures in my blog posts. Two weeks ago, youngest had an away swim meet. After dropping youngest off, Mr. D and I went for provisions. First we went to Starbucks. I was immediately curious about the diet version of the Orange Creme Frappacino...

Craftiness

Posted on May 21, 2007
Saturday was my friend Jeffrey's birthday. He's an avid bird watcher, so I thought I would make a little flock of birdies for him. They came out really cute and worked up really, really quickly. School's only been out for a week and I'm crafting! That's a nice feeling...

Chill Time

Posted on May 17, 2007
I'm sitting here playing Heroes with my sweetie. What I'm NOT doing is fretting about school - thinking about the reading I should be doing, the cases I have or haven't read, which classes I've recited in and the odds of reciting again soon. School is starting to drift away in the haze of a very bad nightmare...

Fitness of Character

Posted on May 16, 2007
I just finished the bulk of my Character and Fitness evaluation. It wasn't as bad as I'd feared. I've worked at the same place for ten years, lived in or around the same city for ten years and haven't done anything really bad. If I'd done this back in September, I could have saved myself $190...

Do you have a Flickr account? Are you on delicious? Magnolia? Twitter? Virb? Last fm? Jaiku? Cork'd?Let's be friends! Email me your contact stuff if you don't want to leave it on here. Social web stuff is fun, but it's more fun if you have lots of friends...

Sigh of Relief

Posted on May 14, 2007
Thank God. It's over. I survived. Now I can start posting again!I don't know why I quit posting. I just couldn't get back into the habit of it once school started back up in the Spring. I'm a creature of habit. If I would have gotten into the habit of doing posting right when I got to the library, or something like that, it would have happened...

At Wit's End

Posted on May 11, 2007
I know - it's been forever.Since coming back from spring break everything's been a blur. The brief, studying for finals, etc., etc.I've hit the wall.In the last seven days I've taken three exams. I have the last one tomorrow. It's the one I've studied the least for because I understood it and kept up with it the whole semester...

Spring Break is Almost Over

Posted on March 17, 2007
School starts back on Monday. :(I take a long time to wind down and do nothing. It's Saturday and this is the first day of Spring Break that I haven't studied for at least two hours. Most days I worked at least six hours. However, I didn't really do much towards my brief...

My Brain on Law School

Posted on March 12, 2007
I went to dinner with a lawyer friend before I took the LSAT. She told me that law school would completely alter the way I think. At first I didn't see any difference. I didn't argue with everyone over everything. I didn't throw around Latin phrases. However, negligence abounds! I see torts everywhere...

I'm turning off anonymous posting. :)Anonymous said...W didn't effing lie. He didn't want to see *only* data dump. So it was okay to data dump on the exam, but with the addition of analysis. - da stcl troll.

Warning! Whining Post!

Posted on February 25, 2007
I do homework all the time. I read on the way to school in the dark. I read on the way home. My pleasure reading consists of the Contracts and/or Torts E&E's. When I'm not doing homework, I'm working at one of two jobs. Usually I bear my burden with (little to) no complaining...

Crim Law Meeting

Posted on February 18, 2007
I met with my Crim Law prof about my finals - two weeks ago, I think. Crim Law was my lowest grade by a significant amount, so I wanted to see what happened. What happened was that I listened to him when he said that he didn't want to see a lot of "data dumping...

Trying to get going....

Posted on February 04, 2007
I just read Butterflyfish's post about being less organized this semester. Note that we're into February and I'm just now reading that post. I'm having a hard time being motivated or organized. The first two weeks of school, more than half the time I hadn't read for class...
