Bad blogger

Posted on February 17, 2008
I suck at updating. Sigh. Not much of note is happening though.I am still unemployed. Meeting with the dean of the law school on Tuesday to discuss clerkships - I am considering applying for clerkships with the bankruptcy judges that sit within 175 miles of here, so I need to see if any of them are hiring...

Caucus!

Posted on February 09, 2008
The first ever Nebraska Democratic caucus was held this morning. They had 15 sites in our county, the population of which is nearly 500,000. No one expected the kind of turnout that actually happened... Needless to say, it was a clusterfuck.The middle school auditorium where they thought we were going to caucus...

Plague

Posted on January 30, 2008
I have the plague! Boo on my sister for bringing terms home from her stupid undergraduate classes.I haven?t been to the gym since Saturday ? though I did go for a walk on Monday when the temperature was reasonable. We are back to normal (unreasonable) temperatures now...

For the love of god

Posted on January 29, 2008
Yesterday? High of almost 50 degrees. I took Kira for a long walk in the neighborhood, and I was wearing only yoga pants and a long-sleeved tee shirt.Today? High of 21 degrees. Snowing. Brutal blowing winds that make it feel like your face is going to be ripped off...

Running the day after drinking kind of a lot of wine and only getting 6 hours of sleep will result in more-dismal-than-usual mile time.Oy. More water needed.

Why, Bravo? Why?

Posted on January 26, 2008
Why is there no new Project Runway this week? The first Wednesday I don't have class until 9:30 this semester? Bravo loves to toy with my emotions, it seems.Curt's cousin's wife has leukemia. If she loses her hair, we will shave our heads and wear fabulous scarves...

A test of wills

Posted on January 22, 2008
Tomorrow might be the day I finally drop out of law school. If I had this day 1L year, I would have for sure. Here is my schedule for tomorrow:8:30 to 11:30: Courthouse. Need to finish memo that I'm writing for the judge (Eeeep! I have to turn something in! To a JUDGE! Holy shit!)...

Book learnin'

Posted on January 17, 2008
My externship assignment is awesome. The judge is very approachable and willing to answer all of my questions, and the staff in the clerk of the court's office has been really helpful in getting me logins and teaching me how to use the computer system at the courthouse...

Holy hell

Posted on January 13, 2008
My schedule this semester is really, really strange. I have class from 12:45 to 7:30 on Mondays, 3:45 to 5:45 on Tuesdays, and 12:45 to 3:35 on Wednesdays. Plus a compressed class that is over by January 23, but which involves classes at truly awful times like 6 pm to 9:30 pm on Friday and Wednesday nights, plust two sessions that go from 9 am to 4 pm on Saturday...

Resolution revolution

Posted on January 06, 2008
In the spirit of the new year, I made some resolutions. One in particular...I'm going to run a 10K by my 29th birthday on July 21st, 2008. Eeep!First, 5k by the end of March. I think my sister and I are going to try and find a St. Patrick's day race...

Why my dogs hate me

Posted on January 03, 2008
I can hear them rolling their eyes at me.I swear, I wouldn't do it if they weren't so cute. Also, the christmas stuff (including dog sweaters) is all 50% off at Old Navy.

Good/Bad

+We got Guitar Hero III for christmas!-I suck at Guitar Hero, and because I am a freaky perfectionist it is stressing me out.-It took me four tries to beat a Foghat song on Easy. -I hate Foghat.-I spent a small fortune at Costco today.+We now have four bottles of champagne! Wheeeeeeeee!-I seem to be getting a cold...

Forget stun. Set to kill.

Posted on December 26, 2007
I am going to kill Adam. He is the most inconsiderate person I have ever had the misfortune to have staying in my home. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.At least they have to leave eventually...I feel I should say something positive. About anything, really. Um...

Grinch

Posted on December 25, 2007
Bah humbug. I hate christmas.(This is not a cheerful, have a great day everyone post. In case you couldn't tell. You have been warned.)My brother is an asshole. He doesn't listen to anyone, and he talks too much, and he refuses to believe he could possibly learn anything from anyone...

Worst roll ever

Posted on December 18, 2007
Last night we went to this place for dinner, with one of my classmates. Most of the food was awesome - huge variety of rolls, good fish, etc. Good martinis too.Anyway, so they have this roll. It is called the Buddha Roll and is described as shrimp tempura, eel, cilantro, spicy sauce, and fresh mango...

Sipping on Gin & Juice

Posted on December 15, 2007
Laid back, with my mind on my money and my money on my mind...My estate & gift tax final yesterday was GOD AWFUL. Seriously. I have never taken such an exam. The curve on that one is going to be massive, because our whole class was shell-shocked when we left...

Cuteness, finals edition

Posted on December 09, 2007
I have nothing useful or funny to say. My head is full of UCC because of studying for Negotiable Instruments.Nettie hates the cold and ice. She also hates us, because we make her wear a tiny sweater when she goes outside. This is partly to keep her warm and partly because it makes us laugh...

Alive

Posted on December 05, 2007
Who shoots up a mall? Crazy fucking people.I am alive. Most of my classmates are accounted for - it's finals, so it's hard to reach people...This is nuts.

Surrender

Posted on December 03, 2007
I have further evidence that the gym is a horrible, awful place. It caused me to get in a minor car accident yesterday, scaring the bejesus out of a 16 year old wearing purple stirrup pants and breaking the headlights out of Curt's car. Clearly it is the gym's fault this happened, since if I hadn't gone to the gym I would never have been on that road in the first place...

Ms. 30-Minute-Meals just used the phrase "popcorn facial." Clearly, I am a 12-year-old boy inside this 28-year-old woman's body.

Not ready at all!

Posted on November 26, 2007
Where did this semester go? I swear, it's got to be September still. Except that it snowed last week, which would possibly make for the most awful September ever...Despite my last (exceedingly grumpy) post, things are going fine. I am pretty sure that I will end up with a job doing something after graduation, despite having crap grades and not being on law review and whatever else I am not doing...

Predictions

Posted on November 20, 2007
I suppose I can just be That Bitter Person Giving The Dire Warnings. Here is what I say to you, oh 1L who googles my blog with phrases like "bottom of law school class":75% of your class will not be in the top 25% of your class. There is a good chance that despite all of your ambitions and desires, you will end up just like me - hanging tight with the other three-quarters of your class...

Well no one told me about her

Posted on November 18, 2007
Well no one told me about herThe way she liesWell no one told me about herHow many people criedWell no one told me about herThe way she liesWatching Kill Bill, vol. 2 tonight, I realized that I must download this song and listen to it on repeat for half an hour at the gym tomorrow...

Did it

I shaved my head! Not really. But I did cut my hair pretty dramatically.Before:After:

Job stuff

Posted on November 12, 2007
So. April and Emily got job offers today. Jen had one in August. Liz got one October 14. J got one in March of last year. C got one last weekend. Other J got one on November first.I think I am the queen of the first-runner-up. The "always the bridesmaid never the bride" of law school - I can get interviews, but I cannot get a fucking job...

I have a new love

Posted on November 09, 2007
It's name is Cuba L1nda and it has the most awesome Cuban sandwich I have ever tasted. Praise jeebus, I'm saved.However, I am not doing my Negotiable Instruments assignment for Monday. Maybe I will take a nap and dream of pulled-pork-and-ham goodness.

Burdens of proof

Posted on November 09, 2007
My doctor charged me for two co-pays yesterday. One of them, from a visit in October, I know I paid with my debit card, so that's fine. However, I am 100% certain I paid the one in August in cash. (Why it is just now being charged to my account is beyond me, but their shoddy bookkeeping is not my problem)...
