Like Two Xmas hams shoved up under yo dress!

So my Business Associations Prof looks and talks like the ladies man. He is confident, funny, and coincidentally knew a bunch of my profs from my old school in Michigan. While he lacks the suave lisp, or the glass of courvasier in his hand, his mannerisms are identital to the Ladies Man. Im just waiting for him to ask some one if that is a piece of pizza?

The long drawn out day.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are long. Luckily, I can get most of my studying done before my last class and call it a night at 930.

Civ pro- it was fun being in a 1L class. Keyboards humming away at the profs every word. Makes me laugh seeing how far ive come.

LRW- I think will be my favorite class. My clerkship prepared me to excel in this class. Usually it is the other way around.

Business Associations- havent gone to it yet, but I better like it.

Rant of the day

People often wonder why attorneys are so miserable. A great post by opinionstas sheds some light on the subject. Maybe there arent very many positives or maybe people who are happy practicing do not blog about it, and sure as hell stay away from the miserable ones.

Either way, I maintain that I will be the minority. I will find a way to make this worth all the hell im getting through to get here. All this, "at least you can buy a nice car and have your shirt embroidered with your initials" talk needs to end. I am going to find a way to practice biglaw and be happy.

Evidence

Can anyone recommend an Evidence supplement? I usually dont like Gilberts.

The first day

Its funny that my non law school friends think that im a type A personality. While that is true, the new school is full of people who make me look carefree and passive. Im talking like flipping out about assignments the first day. Or wanting to have heated discussions with fellow gunners on the first day. All in all, I have a lot of work to do if I want to be near the top here.

Evidence: prof was hilarious but eccentric, and wheezed probably from having emphysema. Evidence looks to be my toughest class so far.

Employment law: Again, the prof was hilarious. This one sweats. It must be a gladular problem because he was soaked through his shirt. Had it been a lighter color shirt, his nipples would be visible. There's a thought.

The last deep breath before the big fight

Tomorrow is the first day at the new school. Dont really know what to expect. Its hard knowing what I had to move away from to get here. I have to make it now.

There is still a chance

Despite this I still think GNR will reunite and then kick off the worlds greatest tour.

Bloggers strike back

To the poster who had the audacity to ask for my legal advice by directing me to read your blog. Go fuck yourself. Two reasons.

1. if you dont have the decency to concisely write out your situation in your comment, the I am not going to spend my free time reading your fucking blog because you want your hit meter to go up.
2. I seem to have lost the retainer check you sent me in the mail.

Again, read the second sentence of this post.

Emmy Speech

I just got back from reading some employment law. The class looks like it is gonna be fun, maybe even a future practice area of mine. I wanted to give a special thanks to certain people who have lately been an inspiration to me:

Abogada- you are the sweetest girl. You taught me to find a way to put a positive spin on things when they got tough. Thank you. I am now going to show you how to do the same.

Snowy aka Randillio: Congrats on starting grad school. We are all proud of you and will purposely not have any fun so that you dont miss a thing while you are gone. Seriously. Now quit commenting on my blog and study.

Radar: for providing a role model for all future grey poupon eaters everywhere.

Reid: for being a great pal and reading this blog every day.

Anonymous Commenters: For being so spineless that cant even write your name when you talk smack.

Integrity

The thing that is becoming more and more apparent is that people are not what they seem. They are only a facade with some well crafted personas. Truly sad. How many of there are you out there like this?

Fall Recruitment Part 2

Turned in my applications to 9 employers including my summer firm. The firm this summer is the 10th biggest in my market, so at the very least I would like to work for them or one of the bigger firms. I would take an offer from my summer firm in a heartbeat, but since the hiring partner is on vacay I have to wait.

The cover letter turned out decent I think. I was going for something less traditional than the name, why qualified, crap that everyone else turns it. Depending on how many interviews I get, I might end up eating those words.

To be honest, I dont really expect any interviews. If I get any, I will be ecstatic. So for now, the waiting game. And the reading game. I have plenty of reading to start with for Monday.

A few 1L's joined us for lunch at orientation today. Sitting down to eat I was faced with a challenge. Should I:

a) warn them that their life as they know ceases to exist.

b) tell them that studying and outlining is useless for success in law school.

c) tell them to scarf their food down and go directly to the library

Well. I did neither. I did the noble thing. I told them that most of what they hear about first year is a myth and the only true thing to believe is that you should be studying until your eyes bleed every night until finals. The suckas bought it, hook, line, and sinka.

The bearded hippie and the pabst blue ribbon

Its not everyday that your law school is overrun with bearded hippies. And by overrun, I mean that there were two. But as a closet republican, it only takes two to smoke the whole bag.

I met a few fellow classmates who turned out to be really nice. Once was even sipping on a PBR while the dean spoke. Maybe it was the dean who was drinking it? Hell, i hung out with the hippie too long anyway.

Everythings Bigger in Texa$$

For those of you who like your Texans tall, dark, and metro, Lawnonimous gives you your fix.

Supersize Me

There are few movies that ever have a profound effect on me. All in all, I am hard to shock. Supersize Me was unbelievable. The guy almost gave himself cirhosis (sp) of the liver in 30 days. While I found this movie motivational, the undergrad in me became curious.

Instead of Mcdonalds, how bout someone eat JellyBellies for a month? Or turkey gravy. Or frozen dinners. Or salad. Or fishsticks. Or sticks of butter. Or pop tarts. Or meatloaf.

Seriously, how bad could pop tarts be. You could have a strawberry poptart for breakfast, a smores poptart for lunch, and a sensible dinner (3 chocolate poptarts). This would make for a fun reality show.

Evidence Reading

My first case in my Evidence book deals with an appellant trying to get a new case because the jury on his previous case admitted to being extremely drunk and high. The jurors even confessed to smoking weed and snorting cocaine while on lunch breaks. All I have to say is that Jury Duty is the new college.

OCI stuff

Finishing up the resume. Tomorrow im going to write a cover letter for all the other firms I plan on applying to. Everyone warns about writing one cover letter for mass use, but I plan on tailoring this one specifically per firm. I formerly thought that this was self-explanatory, but apparently "forgetting to brush your teeth" isnt either. In fact, the list of things not to do at an interview was hilarious. I wonder if anyone really "gets it". Including myself.

40 yr old vigin (my true identity)

Maybe I am too picky. I thought the movie sucked. Everyone else thought it was hilarious. I am just too high maitenance.

Mt. Everest, Here we come!

A friend of mine, who I think doesnt really know me that well, called me a "social climber". Is this a good thing?

Day Off Numero Uno

Woke up at 7:30 am because the thought of sleeping in on vacation was too profound for me. Immediately started on my resume. It is particularly tough to write somewhat objectively on the resume. Too bad you cant write, "office stud.. see references" and leave it be. That might have been a little arrogant, but then again, you all wouldnt be reading this if you didnt agree.
