Friday Night Lights

So does anyone else feel an overwhelming need to scream "WHORE" when Miss Lila Garrity appears onscreen?

and in the final moments of the game when the player was forced out of bounds....the announcer said "the clock will stop while they move the chains". Um....the clock stops anyway when you get out of bounds......

Haloween Disappointment

So I've seen all of you blogging about how haloween is just an excuse for girls to dress slutty. While I didn't disagree that that seems to be the current trend...I thought it could be easily avoided.

WRONG!

J and I went to numerous stores selling haloween costumes...and I couldn't find a single non-slutty female costume. I really wanted to be a cartoon character....such as Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet...etc. No such luck. I'm disappointed....and boycotting the law school haloween party tonight.

I think I'm getting old.

Tim McGraw

You said the way my blue eyes shined,Put those Georgia stars to shame that night.I said: "That's a lie."Just a boy in a Chevy truck,That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,On backroads at night.An' I was right there beside him all summer long.An' then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone.

But when you think: Tim McGraw,I hope you think my favorite song.The one we danced to all night long: The moon like a spotlight on the lake.When you think happiness,I hope you think: "That little black dress."Think of my head on your chest,An' my old faded blue jeans.When you think Tim McGraw, I hope you think of me.

Above are the lyrics from the new Taylor Swift country song "Tim McGraw." I am a big fan of this song....I like the way it sounds...and the memories it evokes for me.

I posted before about songs that take me back....and even though this song is new...it too takes me back to another place in time.

"Just a boy in a Chevy truck, that had a tendency of getting stuck, on backroads at night. And I was right there beside him all summer long." This lyrick takes me to the summer between junior and senior years of high school when I would ride around with B being totally young and in love.

When you think happiness, I hope you think: That little black dress. Think of my head on your chest." This takes me back to sophmore homecoming with my first love. My little black dress....and the excitement of your first experience with love.

Even if you don't like country....it really is a great song.

The App Ad brief is finished and I turn it in tomorrow morning. This makes me one happy little girl :)

Stress

Suddenly, I feel end of the semester stress setting in. My App Ad brief is due this week, I have not yet started outlining, and I just found out that I have two sets of back to back exams. Fun.

There is still 7 weeks remaining in the semester (including 2 exam weeks) and I am not ready yet.

Sigh.

Intellectual Property Fun

In IP while discussing a case involving an oncologist....

"He was treating a fatal disease which you might die from....."

What?

Another Perspective

I've read quite a few blog posts by 2 and 3Ls complaining about 1Ls who push to get into the room before all of the students are out. While I agree with this for the most part, at least while there are still a lot of students left in the room....I have a complaint from a different perspective.

My evidence class meets at 10....which is 15 minutes after the 9:45 1L class ends. Despite waiting for most of those 15 minutes for the 1Ls to clear out of the room...invariably I still have to wait at the end of the row while the stragglers who feel they must leave their stuff in their seats while they pester the Professor with another super important question that HAS to be answered RIGHT NOW. I mean...come on. If you really need to ask...follow the poor man to his office and hound him there. Just get your crap out of the row...K? Thanks.

Prime Time

I am an absolute tv junkie. I almost always have it on when I am home...and I get cranky when I miss my favorite shows.

Grey's Anatomy
House
ER
Jeopardy
Law & Order
SVU
Criminal Intent (more when Mr. Big is on)
America's Next Top Model
Kidnapped
Ugly Betty
CSI: Miami
Deal or No Deal
Numbers

Yes...my name is PrettyLawChick...and I am a tv addict.

:)

2 Updates:
1. I forgot Friday Night Lights!!
2. Thanks to my addiction I now have the words "Pretty Lady Number...." BURNED into my brain for the night

Blogroll

So I added a new link to my blogroll...please welcome Really Legally Blonde. I find this blog interesting because its author is in law school in the UK. I actually haven't read too many blogs from outside the US...and its interesting to see a different perspective and a different system. (Its also interesting to see their thoughts on US students as well ;)

So check her out sometime :)

Blogging Fame

I have arrived as a blogger....I have officially been linked by Barely Legal. ;)
(Its that damn sarcasm that gets me in trouble every time....:)

If you scroll back to my very first post...you will see that I happen to mention that blog in that post. Barely Legal was the first blog that I started reading regularly...which eventually led to the birth of this blog. :)

So thanks Mike! :)

"Boyfriend Law School Breakup"

Lots of posting today.

Turns out that this blog is the #1 result for the above search. I am refusing to believe that is a bad omen.

:)

Schedule

So the draft for available classes for next semester....and of course there are too many classes I want to take at different times.

So its looking like I may have 5 hours of class on Monday, 4 on Tues & Thurs, 5 on Wed, and 2 on Friday. Hmmmm...now that I write that out...it looks even worse than I originally thought.

Plus, that would mean excluding such classes as Business Torts, Torts II, Criminal Procedure, and Worker's Comp., and Business Orgs.

However, I will be taking Sales & secured Transactions, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Remedies, Trial Advocacy, and Pre-Trial Litigation.

The problem is.....I'm not totally sure what I would like to do at this point. I think I would like litigation...but really....I think I would be happy doing almost any kind of legal work. So that creates a dilemma....what classes should I take? What do I really need to take? and how do I answer the perpetual question: "What kind of law do you want to practice?"

Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated

:)

Update: Trial Ad. is 9 hours per week for 4 credits....worth it???? Need it????

Stuck

So after a rash of recent weddings of people I went to school with....and news of other couples moving in together....and people moving out of our hometown beginning new lives in new cities....I officially feel stuck.

While I hope this will be worth it in the end...and its only 1 and 3/4 more years (maybe a little less now....) I sometimes feel like things are on hold. And they are.

I want to wear the pretty white dress and marry the person I love. I want to get my own little place and decorate it. I want a new car (not a NEW car...just another car.... that doesnt have 100K miles on it). I dont want children....yet. I want a regular paycheck and no more debt.

I want to wake up with B....go to sleep with him....and eat his home cooking.

:)

Books

I have heard conflicting opinions about used books/writing in books. Me personally? I would choose the book with notes in the margins everytime. Although I will admit that sometimes its embarassing to get the used book from the person who was apparently still highlighter obsessed...even as a 2 or 3L.
