Beware the Acorns

Warning: These acorns falling outside the law school are dangerous. One literally just tried to take my life! :-)

Law Students Occupying Wall Street

It’s a joke for  law students to be a part of these protests, because if Goldman Sachs brought them on as an in-house counsel, they’d take the job today. You show me a 99 Percenter, and I’ll show you a kid who would do public relations for  Halliburton faster than you can say “the  name is KBR.” 

Thanks, Elie Mystal

I Miss my Pre-Law School Life

What an amazing, long weekend! I took the entire weekend off from studying. (Well, except for that final exam on Saturday, of course.)

This was the best weekend I’ve had in 9 weeks and I’m very sad that it’s over.  Really sad, actually. A lot more sad than I expected to be.

I’ve been living such a rat race ever since law school started that I hadn’t even noticed how many things I miss from my pre-law school life.

I miss cooking. I miss trying new recipes, the house always smelling so cozy, and watching my family enjoy whatever new thing I just made.

I miss decorating. I don’t have a single fall-themed decoration in the house. This time last year the house would have been decked out in pumpkins and scarecrows and hay bales and always smelling like some type of spice!

I miss working out. Pre-law school I worked out every day. How many times have I worked out since school started? Zero.

I miss my family. Yeah.... I really, really, really miss my family. Oh, and by the way, my oldest kids won their football championship this Saturday and my youngest finally started saying “Mommy” the right way!

I’ll be fine by Tuesday. I’ll be back in the rat-race with no time for these thoughts, but today it is Monday, and I’m sad. 

Legal Research Final

This exam was harder than I expected, but I think I did OK and I'm happy it is over! I know, not like me to write so little, but I'm exhausted! 

Congrats to all my classmates! We made it through the first exam! Have a relaxing and celebratory weekend!

Morning of 1st Final!

‎6:00AM, the morning of my 1st final! Feeling totally prepared! Travis' card didn't hurt things either! :-)

Playin' Hookie in Order to Study....??!

I'm not really sure if I should say this on my Law School Blog but, I'm playing hookie right now! 


I had a tough decision to make.


A.) Skip class and spend the day home alone and kid-free until 5:00PM cramming for my Legal Research Final Exam which is tomorrow morning. 
B.) Go to school and then study tonight, with 4 little munchkins running around. 


I chose "A."


After all, part of the purpose of law school is to teach us how to prioritize our time. Once we are lawyers, the demand for our time will always be higher than the supply. We will always have to analyze and decide what is most important and what goes higher on the priority list. 


Out of my juggling act of class, kids, and study-time, I had to prioritize. And today, study-time won!

Over here, guys! I think I see one!

Alright.


I'm about to get real nerdy on y'all. Legal Research, to me, is like a big, fun, complicated Easter egg hunt! 


Woo hoo! Fun times on a Thursday afternoon~!
