Cardio and Classes

Posted on August 13, 2008
Tonight I did a kick-boxing class at Nubody?s. The last couple of days I have been focusing only on cardio, so I pretty much am holding off weights for now and going back to cardio. Even though I have been mostly doing only running, after tonight?s class, I think I?m going to try and jump into a few more cardiovascular work-out classes from now on...

Ottawa

Posted on August 06, 2008
Ottawa was a great visit. It was my first time going there. Probably one of my favorite spots that I went to go see was the Supreme Court of Canada.Ah! I feel like such a dork.

Zombie Books and Live Entertainment

Posted on July 28, 2008
So I finished up The Zombie Survival Guide (I especially liked the historical accounts near the end of the book), and yesterday managed to buy a few books, one of them being World War Z and a graphic novel of I Am Legend. So it?ll be interesting to see how much or how little my own story is like those two...

Zombie Novel/Story, Zombie Books, and Weight-lifting

Posted on July 23, 2008
In case if you were curious (or if you even still cared), I have not abandoned my zombie novel/story at all. I?m still editing it almost every day and doing the occasional extra parts here and there. I?ve just avoided it for the longest time because of exams/traveling/graduation/bar stuff, etc?In fact, I am almost just about done with The Zombie Survival Guide (by Max Brooks)...

Bar exams and The Dark Knight

Posted on July 18, 2008
From my own experience (and not speaking on behalf of anyone else), I found that the Bar exams are no-where near as hard as a law school exam or even the LSAT (ugh!). I think that, after so many years of 100% closed-book finals, I?ve just gotten used to it...

Bar Exam Study Time

Posted on July 13, 2008
I swear that if I had two weeks to study instead of just one, I?d not only pass, I?d probably ace the Bar exams tomorrow and Tuesday.One week off isn?t enough.

Bar Exam Motivation

Posted on July 03, 2008
I must admit; it?s very hard staying motivated to study for the Bar exam.

Order of Canada

Posted on July 01, 2008
He may not be the most popular Canadian, but he is going to be the recipient of the Order of Canada.Congratulations Doctor Morgentaler!

Studying, Weeks, Ottawa, and Toronto

Posted on June 28, 2008
Just a weekend of studying at the Barrister?s Library, and it?s 24/7 too (can?t go wrong with that).I took last night, and as well as this weekend, off from the gym. My upper body in general is aching a bit. I think I may even take a week off as well, although I don?t know if it will be next week or the week after, which is my week off from work to study...

National Aboriginal Day and Nubody's

Posted on June 21, 2008
Just want to give a shout to all my Indigenous and non-Indigenous friends to wish them all a Happy National Aboriginal Day, so be sure to give your favorite Aboriginal person a hug today.Since I already decided to go back into weights, I may actually just go back to Nubody?s at Scotia Square for now (or maybe just during the weekdays)...

Weights

Posted on June 19, 2008
Tonight, instead of my usual running for cardio, I decided to do a full-body work-out with weights, the first time doing so since January. I?m pretty weakened out at the moment, and will definitely be feeling it tomorrow. But I think I want to cut-back (but not cut-out) cardio and focus more on weight-lifting for the time-being.

A Constitutional Amendment?

Posted on June 18, 2008
I was down in Cuba when the first reading was done, but an interesting Bill nevertheless. Is this a Constitutional Amendment?Why have I not seen on the news yet?

Indian Residential School Apology

Posted on June 11, 2008
The Prime Minister apologized today on behalf of the Canadian government for its role in the administration of the Indian Residential SchoolI have little to say about this actually. I have blogged before on my own feelings about the settlement and its process, so check out the archives if you are interested...

First Week, Nubody's, Settled In, and Law School Friends

Posted on June 07, 2008
The first week of work was good and all. It will definitely pick up as time goes on. I obviously won?t be saying anything more about work really for obvious reasons on confidentiality, so I?ll just leave it at that.I tried the Nubody?s at Scotia Square earlier this week (since it?s closer to where I live), but I still rather do the extra minutes in walking and stick with Park Lane...

Law School

Posted on June 02, 2008
In all honesty, I could type and ramble and go on and on about how great graduation was, how wonderful my fellow alumni are, and how incredible and unforgettable law school was. But I will keep it short and simple.I loved each and absolutely every moment that I had in law school...

Sith LL.B (or something like that)

Posted on May 26, 2008
I promise to do a massive blog entry real soon about my overall reflections on law school.But in the meantime, I just wanted to say that graduation was last Friday. I finally got a law degree. The only picture I?ll post here is one that makes me look like a cool Sith from Star Wars (as I think too many look like Jedi)...

Excited, New Place, Frames and Parchments, and Short Blog

Posted on May 21, 2008
I seriously cannot emphasize how excited that I am to graduate this Friday.Yesterday, I did some moving into my new place. I got no internet, phone, or cable there yet (I am Blogging from my old apartment). The new place is great and I love the location (five minutes from Nubody?s and seven minutes from work)...

New York City

Posted on May 18, 2008
New York City was incredible. I definitely need to make a few more trips out there in the future to get to see more of it. Friday was the only real day that I toured anything, but it was raining that day, so I did not get to see all what I wanted, and I wish that I was able to take better pictures...

Presentation, Drive, New York City, and Excited

Posted on May 14, 2008
The trip to Cape Breton went well. I was giving a presentation to high school students in Eskasoni about the Indigenous Black and Mi?kmaw Initiative, as well as law school in general, and of course, Dalhousie Law School in particular. I obviously did this voluntarily, but did receive a nice appreciation present before I left...

3L All Done, and Thank You!

Posted on May 10, 2008
First off, I will do an overall reflection of law school after graduation, but I want to reflect on 3L just for this entry.I must say that finishing up the last year of law school has definitely been bittersweet. On the one hand, who isn?t excited to be all done? Seriously! After the year that they bore you to death, you just can?t wait to get out and get to work...

Cuba, Mario Kart Wii, and No Third Year Reflection just yet

Posted on May 05, 2008
Cuba was definitely something else. It was the first time that I ever really truly traveled somewhere in my life (first time for everything). I was happy to have went down with the friend that I did (she?s done a ton of traveling before), and that we hardly stuck around the resort at all...

Done

Posted on April 21, 2008
Done all my 3L exams.Too tired and burnt out to blog or reflect properly.Will blog and or reflect properly some other time.Didn?t I just write this a little over a year ago at the end of my 2L exams?I am off to Cuba this Friday. Don?t expect any major blog updates...

Accepted Deal and the Indian Act

Posted on March 31, 2008
The deal was accepted.?The federation chose to pursue status as a landless band, because so many of its members live in different communities and did not want to move from their homes to a reserve.??While the agreement will not give the province's Mi'kmaq land or hunting rights, it will provide money for education, health, economic development and other programs...

Indian Act deal without Land

Posted on March 29, 2008
The results are in tomorrow night.I don't know the full history of the Mi'kmaq of Newfoundland, but nevertheless, it is still great to see them get some rights, although the deal will not provide hunting and land rights. I find it a bit perplexing to be given rights under the Indian Act but no land to come with it, as one of the original reasons for the Indian Act back in the day was to set land aside for Indians...

High School, Paper, and Work

Posted on March 28, 2008
Today, I am happy to report that, for the first time since high school (1999-2000), I weigh less than 200 pounds. I am now 197 pounds, a loss of about 60 plus pounds since from last year (it was also a year ago today that I started feeling better given what happened in the beginning of 2L)...

Lease, Paper, Excited, Yearbook, Haircut, and Work

Posted on March 26, 2008
Just a few hours ago, I signed a lease for a new apartment that?s about a seven minute walk from where I will be articling at. It?s very beautiful and even got a pool, plus it?s a lot closer to the gym. I actually decided to start the lease in May since I won?t have time to move in at the end of the month (due to how busy things will be), and will be moving in throughout the month instead, so the transition to June will be light and easy...

Lock-down

Posted on March 21, 2008
I went ahead yesterday and deactivated Facebook and removed msn. Now it is time to focus on everything and try not to think about the fact that I write my last exam one month from today.Lock-down mode has officially been engaged (save except tomorrow night?s karaoke event with one of the law professors and several other students)! Gym aside, no more Domus, going out, movies, etc? It is an all-out study marathon!

Back on Track, Rough Draft Done, and Exam Period

Posted on March 19, 2008
After a week and a few days of slacking off from the gym and unhealthy eating, I got myself back on track again. I finally gotten used to getting up irrespective of the one hour time difference. Really not too much to report on the weight-loss progress since I spent the last few days burning off what I put on all last week...
