I hate class.

Posted on February 05, 2008
I feel as though going to the majority of my classes is useless. I hate that most of my teachers simply re-read or follow the textbook assignments almost verbatim. If I do the reading, going to class provides no added benefit. I love that going to class has become an absolute waste of my time!

Meet the new Jeep. :)

I traded in my old TJ for a new JK. :) I know most people don't care, but for the Jeepers out there, here are some pics of the new Jeep.

Lazy Weekend

Posted on February 03, 2008
I apparently have a case of senioritis. I remember this feeling from highschool. I know it is my last semester, so I am having a hard time motivating myself to work non stop hours over the weekends. Oh well, once the pressure of outlining for five scheduled exams hits me I should be back to my normal self...

What do you do when...

Posted on January 29, 2008
The professor continually states the law incorrectly? A certain professor obviously hasn't updated their notes in years. It would be nice to know if I need to know the current law, or the pretend, outdated version the professor keeps spouting.

Grade Watch 2008

Posted on January 29, 2008
Yes, I am still waiting on Professor Vail to turn in the property transactions grades. The grades are one week late. We took the exams over a month ago and none of us know how we did. Does anyone else find it odd that we get docked a % on our exams for turning them in late, but nothing happens to professors who habitually turn in late grades?

Semester Update

Posted on January 26, 2008
Grades: Well, this week has been interesting.. I have five out of my six grades from last semester and I am on track for one of my best law school GPA's. It is weird because I clerked so much last semester that I ended up neglecting my studies. I won't say too much more about it because there is always the possibility that my property transactions grade will kill my current stellar GPA...

Note to self

Posted on January 19, 2008
If you put all of your towels in the washer, do not then jump in the shower because you will have no way to get dry! Apparently I did not think about this before jumping in to the shower this morning!

I hate my neighbors....

Posted on January 19, 2008
I live in a downstairs apartment and I absolutely hate it! My upstairs neighbors are so loud! At 5 am every morning their dog wakes up and proceeds to bark for 10 minutes until they tell it to shut up. Then the guy upstairs starts banging doors, dropping things, and walks around with what sounds like weights on his feet! Then after he makes himself something in the blender he is out the door to work, or wherever else it is that he goes...

Random Thoughts

Posted on January 16, 2008
1. I wonder what my morning class will be like. It is a small tax seminar with only three people signed up. I hope the class is not graded with one person getting an A, one person a B, and one person a C. Hmm...2. I am nervous to start clerking again...

I'm back!!!

Posted on January 15, 2008
Holiday break was very relaxing. I read books, played in the snow, and relaxed with family. I also traveled to Utah, Arizona, and California over the break. It was great to get out of PDX and road trip around the southwest a little bit.In addition to road tripping around the southwest I attended some of my husband's geology classes...

Letter to my computer

Posted on December 18, 2007
Dear Computer,Please do not crash tomorrow when I am working on my property transactions final. Obviously, you are angry with me because you tried to screw me over during both my criminal law and ethics exams. As much fun as it is to cry over the lost minutes I endured during both finals, I would greatly appreciate it if you would spare me the same pain during my last final...

Ethics exam

Posted on December 14, 2007
I am currently sitting in a classroom, waiting to take my ethics exam. I should be reviewing my notes, but I way too bored to read and re-read my notes and outline. I plan on finishing up the exam with time to spare, then hitting the climbing gym afterwards for a few hours of fun! We'll see if the exam goes as planned...

Studying Away

Posted on December 12, 2007
I took my criminal law exam on Monday. I feel like I was able to see all of the issues, but I guess I will find out when I get my grade in January. I only have the ethics and property transactions finals left, and then I am off to AZ, UT, and CA for a few weeks of relaxation! I am sure that Lobo will be excited for me to be able to put the books down for awhile and actually play with her everyday...

You have to be joking!!

Posted on December 10, 2007
Someone just walked in to the unscheduled exam room with their own printer!! Umm, burning a CD is seriously not that complicated!!! OMG!!!

Weirdest One L Class...

Posted on December 09, 2007
I have encountered several One L's this semester, though not at the library. In fact, they have been notably absent from the library the whole semester. The One L's this year don't seem concerned or stressed out over the upcoming exams. I understand that my observations are based on only a handful of One L's, but I still find it odd that even a handful of One L's are confident enough not to care about cramming for finals...

Insomnia

Posted on December 05, 2007
I cannot sleep, therefore I am up outlining. Sad.. :(

Campus Abduction

Posted on December 04, 2007
Yesterday an undergraduate student at L & C was dragged in to the nearby woods by some sicko. I have looked all over the local news websites and have been unable to find the sketch of the sicko-abductor anywhere. So I am including the link to the sketck and other information here...

Coffee Hangover

Posted on December 02, 2007
Did you know that it is possible to have a coffee hangover? I studied at the sports bar with a friend last Thursday, up until the Packer game started. While studying for a few hours before the game we both downed a pot of coffee. Then once the game started, the bartender brought over a huge carafe of coffee and left it on our table for us...

So whats up?

Posted on November 14, 2007
Well, I do not have anything exciting to report. I pretty much work on papers, outlines, and my rock climbing skills each week. I would complain, except that I feel like I am doing ok with my workload, now that I have taken a break from work. This is the first week I have had off since last May, and what a difference does the spare 20 hours a week seem to make! So life is good...

Yes...I did in fact graduate from high school!

Posted on November 09, 2007
I accepted the job offer from the Midwest based corporation last week. Once I accepted the position the corporation ran a background check on me, based on my application. Unfortunately, I failed to list the year I graduated from high school on my application and basically failed the background check...

Pimped my ride!

Posted on November 03, 2007
Ok, so I know the title is cheesy. But I felt like the dorks on MTV's Pimp My Ride show yesterday. I have wanted to get a little lift and bigger tires on my Jeep (whom I affectionately refer to as "Beep") since purchasing it! So, in celebration of my job offer (not in celebration of my computer crash), I treated myself to a 2" Tuff Country lift and 32" Maxxis Bighorn tires...

Computer meltdown

Posted on November 03, 2007
Basically, every single year I have been in law school my computer has crashed and I have lost some data. But the latest crash wins the award for the worst law school computer meltdown. My computer decided it would not even turn on Thursday afternoon...

Speechless!!

Posted on October 30, 2007
It is not often that I am actually speechless. But everyone once in awhile, things go my way. I was offered a position with a great company today, doing work in an area of law I truly enjoy. After getting kicked around in law school the last few years, the job offer still does not seem real...

Flu Shot Advocate!!

Posted on October 19, 2007
I have had quite the week! My husband was in town last week, and apparently he was harboring flu germs. He called on Monday of this week, miserable with a nasty strain of the flu. Then Wednesday rolled around, and I woke up sick as well. I tried attending a few classes, but it ended up with me running out of the class and straight to the bathroom...

Being Positive....

Posted on October 18, 2007
So, I have been bitching way too much lately! I apologize. I have decided to post the positive stuff going on in my life instead of all the negatives...School:1. First draft of my "A" paper is out the door. I am scheduled to get it back this week, which means I will be done with it completely before finals roll around!Jobs2...

Buried....

Posted on October 12, 2007
I feel buried in work. I walk in to my clerkship three days a week to a new pile of client folders on my desk. My bosses expect me to complete the same level and number of assignments as I did in the summer, so I try and often do. I do the same amount of work I did this summer in half the time...

Relaxing Morning

Posted on September 29, 2007
This morning has been pretty relaxing. I woke up early and organized my little apartment. Then I took Lobo outside and played ball with her for about a half hour. And now I am back in the apartment, listening to music, drinking coffee, and working on my paper...

I try to stay positive BUT...
