Best analogy for law school and legal practice i've heard so far.

Law school is a pie eating contest and the grand prize is more pie.

Vrai

Life is beautiful. I have to go listen to boring speakers talk about how this new batch of lawyers is going to do good for society. graduation speeches suck. no matter how compelling the speaker is, inevitably they will make the fatal speech mistake. They will over-compliment the graduates. Tell them they all will have jobs at fancy firms with fancy billing requirements. This is the point where our BS meters hit the red zone and apathy becomes the drug of choice among the students. Pan into the sea of graduates, most looking like haggard, on the clearance rack, older versions of themselves. Wiser? Maybe. But you didnt need the last few years to teach you that all you needed to start a greath path for yourself was some persistence. So many have given up, destined to become grinders chipping away at their soul everday. The pieces broken off never grow back. Time renders everything moot at some point but it would be nice to do this thing the right way the first time. A way to make each and every day the best in can be, in ways that will impact the things that matter; the people around you. Get off your ass and make life great.

Im a doctor

Its official. I passed all my classes.

I'm just for looking at

I said it before and I'll say it again. I need a sugar momma. Not for just for the sake of being able to tell people that I am arm candy, but I really need 15k. Bad. Any suggestions?

Interrupted

Today could have been one of the greatest days ever. The last few weeks are proof that even the best laid plans can go awry. I will make do, but even better I will try to find a way to be happy again. Hope life is treating you good...

By the time you read this, I will be done with law school. Thanks for the support everyone.

When you look good you feel good...

Our cap and gowns are a joke. Actually they are much worse than a joke. They are downright an embarrassment to all that is right in the world. The cap resembles a beret with stop sign on top complete with a tacky gold tassle that is so short it looks more like a ribbon. The gown is oversized and the sleeves are 2 feet in circumference. Essentially, you could fit five or six arms in the sleeve (giggity giggity). The coup de gras is the purple stripes and ruffles around the shoulders.

After trying the ensemble on for my roommate and his girlfriend, I was met with 10 minutes of laughter. Why must the culmination of my law school career end with such humility? Togas would be less tacky.

finishing up

I'm studying the next few days for my Secured Trans exam on Friday. I really want the test to be over with, but there's a small part of me that will miss this experience. Maybe not the hellish hours, or the boring material, but the overall experience has been enjoyable for me. Knowing that I only have a few days left of this is keeping me here at the library.

The beginning of the end

Two finals down. Wills and Trusts was not particularly pleasant, but most of my fellow students walked out of that exam clueless like me. Trademark was ridiculous, just like the professor's lectures. To call the exam time pressured would be like calling Paris Hilton flirty. It just doesnt do the phrase justice. I barely finished, and mostly because i am good about getting to every issue rather than going into a few in much detail.

Now the only thing that stands between me and my diploma is Secured Transactions. Its fitting that my last final of law school is in a dreaded UCC class. Regardless, it must be done.

On the horizon is all the planning for the firm and my europe trip. And there is also that little exam in July that apparently i have to take. Still, much needs to be done. But somehow law school teaches you that unless you are studying, you really arent that busy. Or so it seems.

Anyway, this post signals the beginning of the end. I've been considering killing this blog for a while now. There are just too many things on here i no longer wish to share with some people. I dont know when im taking this sucker offline. Maybe a day, maybe a month. Thinking about starting another blog...

True Love Waits...

until finals are over to get over this horrible caffeine addiction. What a headache.

You cant take our dreams from us, cuz we're sleeping when we have them

I can't stand smug hippies. Especially smug hippies who drive volvos with biodiesel stickers on them. Yesterday, a good friend of mine informed me that biodiesel is actually just a variation of regular diesel and that people are hyping it because its trendy. Upon further examination, it turns out he's correct. Those holier-than-thou hippies can kiss my ass. And then make my latte.

Cinco de mayonaise

You want annoying? I'll give you annoying. As im getting dressed yesterday morning, I turn on the news to check and see whether my pirate pants and bandanna are going to be enough to keep me warm throughout the day. Instead of the usual display of fender benders and predictions of rain, the TV was filthy with Jared from Subway. Not a commercial. An interview with Jared "im famous for the wrongest of reasons" Subway. Apparently he was in town hocking Subway's new "tastes and looks like shit sandwiches". I couldnt turn off the TV fast enough.

Later, as i drive home from school, i turn on my favorite radio station, ready to rock out to the greatest hits of the 80's, 90's and more! The phrase "Serenity now!" didnt do the moment justice. They were interviewing that stupid fuck again. 8 fucking great subs under 6 grams of fat. A sandwich interview on a fucking radio station?!!???

This world is going to shit. And fast.
