Hi

You'll have to excuse my lack of depth here lately. I've been trying to avoid the motivation killer known as 3L. It seems lately most people have given up hope of doing well. Even 2L's are starting to get jaded, which is such sweet irony for us 3L's. There once was a day when we were all bright eyed, idealistic, and motivated to change the world, one semester at a time. Time passes and one day you wake up jaded and ambivalent to your choice to become a lawyer. You chug through it because its manageable. Not exactly a reason to stay doing it, but when your $90k vested, you have a little incentive to stay the course.

So far ive had three exams:

• Alternative Dispute Resolution: learning to counsel your clients who dont want to pay 400/hr for litigation but will gladly shell out 300/hr for nonbinding mediation. Consumers really are stupid sometimes.
• Administrative Law: aka walk the line. How long can alex go without reading or bothering to learn before it comes back to bite him in his toned ass? 2 questions exactly. 2 questions out of 75. I guessed on 50% of that exam. I truly hope i passed. If not, here's to an extra class next semester.
• Intellectual property: this class was tough but informative. I would rather take this class than poke my eyes out with hot knives. I would rather take this class than to listen to Assleee Simpson for 3 hours. This class was great and the exam was fair. And, for the first time, i think i actually studied the correct information.

Up next:

• Entertainment law: questions i wish were on the exam: Why is tom cruise so weird? Why does Axl Rose rock so well? Why does Anonymous Stalker want to reveal herself but wont? Why does the word reveal make me giggle like a schoolgirl?
• Taking over the world: not sure how this one is going to go but if people are going to tell me i have a Napoleon complex, dammit im going to earn it.
• finding a job: i need scrill, cream, cash, mooola, bank, etc. Donations of aforementioned are gladly accepted. Donations of other kinds are not.
• having fun: i have three weeks off and i intend to use it wisely. Also i started a netflix subscription so i can rent fatal attraction and swimfan, and the basic instinct trilogy all the same time. With no late fees. Sorry, i was contractually obligated to mention the last part.

Have fun. We'll be seeing ya.

Almost forgot. GNR concert was unreal. If you talk to me you already know that. If you dont, sucks to be u...
