Dr. Love

I saw a commercial recently for a show entitled something like "The Dr. Keith Adler Show."
The premise of the show is that he gives unique advice....he's a psychologist...or psychiatrist or something.

Anyway, the interesting part of the preview was when he gave advice on sex. He said, "you wouldn't tell your daughter to marry the guy she has the best sex with, would you?"

I think that is so interesting. I had never thought about it that way before....and it kinda made me think.

Deer In The Headlights

Thats about how I felt last year at this time. After the first week of law school I felt completely overwhelmed, lost, and sure I was going to flunk out.

However, I don't seem to be getting that vibe from any of the 1Ls I've encountered this year...both in person and in blawgs.

I'm not sure if maybe I was just much more naieve and nervous than this year's class..or they are just much smarter and more prepared than I was.

I have repeatedly heard the words..."this seems easy" which I guess quite honestly I find kinda shocking.

But hey....good for you guys...and congrats on finishing your first week. :)

Another Question

I was thinking about applying for one of the part time positions available for 2Ls this semester. I am wondering if any of you worked/are working as a 2L. If so, how many hours did you work per week? Was it worth it?

Thanks! :)

Question

For the females out there reading this...or I suppose this could apply to some guys...but not likely:

Has anyone tried the website "bagborrowsteal.com"? Its a site where you pay a monthly fee to borrow designer bags. Has anyone tried this? Liked it? Hated it?

Let me know...I wouldn't mind finding a cheaper way to feed my bag obsession. Thanks!

:)

Thank You

So I started thinking about all of the crushes and boyfriends along the way that have helped me get to where I am now.

A was my first crush....the little boy down the street whose brother was best friends with my brother. We used to sit under the tree and play "20 Questions" about who we liked.

L was the older boy further down the street. His brother was also friends with my brother. He was super tall....and super cute. And looked at me as a little tomboy.

D was the absolutely super hot athelete whose games I followed obsessively. He too saw me as the tomboy who could play ball. He ended up in New York and has become...well...very New York.

MJ still lives in my area and is a very nice guy. He too was an athelete whose games I followed...and was on the same team as D. I heard rumors that he was very domineering and possessive...but have no knowledge whether this is true or not. He pretty much didn't know I existed until quite later.

MD was my first love...young puppy love that showed me many areas of love I didn't know existed. He taught me that sometimes you have to stand up for what you want...even if some people disagree with what's best for you.

These different guys (and others) have brought me to B....and to appreciate the true love that I have for him...and that he has for me.

Hidin

So I head into class today knowing from past experience that if the Prof calls on you in the first week he sticks on you throughout the semester like a bulldog on a big juicy steak. So I naturally slide into the last row at the last minute. I am feeling pretty safe since the class is decent sized and PLENTY of people are blocking me from the Prof. Additionally, we were in one of the large classrooms so there is a LOT of space between me and the Prof.

So who gets called on in the FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF CLASS? Me, of course. Now I have a full semester of fun ahead of me.

:)

1Ls

So it turns out that I kind of know 2 of the new 1Ls. I told both of them to call or email me if they have any questions or need any help...or outlines. And I really mean it. I hope they do contact me if they need ANYTHING...or just want to complain. I would have LOVED for someone to have done that for me last year.

Good Luck 1Ls. :)

Letdown

After such an amazing summer...it is such a letdown to be back in law school. Although I keep telling myself that this year is supposed to be so much better....and I really am glad to reuinte with all of my friends...I can't help feeling like a mental patient trapped in the straight jacket again.

Sigh. :)

2nd Year

Since my second year of law school is aboout to start...and I heard the words "Next year will be SO much better" about 1,000 times last year....Im wondering whether I should really expect this year to be better.

My be is better because we aren't so nervous....or green. Or maybe because we have a better idea of what to expect. Or maybe people just tell you that to make you feel better during the hell that is first year.

Im hoping its better. :)

Long Time No See

After being out of commission for awhile...I have a few new things to report.

2. Work ended up being terrific.....AND I got asked back next year so I am SUPER excited!!!
(Plus this means no oncampus interviews this year!!! :)

3. I think B is getting me a dog this year...I'm not sure when but I cannot wait!!!

4. School starts in less than one week...sigh. :)

Public Service Announcement

For those of you who have curly hair like me....you know how difficult it is to find good hair products that work with our hair type.

Consequently, I want to let you know that the Samy products for curly hair is GREAT!!

It controls frizz, defines curl, and is not sticky.

Just wanted to put that out there for you guys. Back to your regularly scheduled program. :)

Cingular: One Is The Loneliest Number

So after 7 years of faithful payments on 2 cell phones...I have officially been dumped by Cingular as a customer.

Since I moved an hour away to law school it is apparently too expensive for Cingular to continue my service so they are cancelling my and my brother's service...even though my brother only makes calls from here.

So now I need to choose a new carrier. The choices I'm considering include Alltell, Nextel, Tmobile, and Sprint.

However...I have no idea which of these might be a good choice.

But...this does mean "new cell phone time". :)

A Day In The Life Of....

So basically despite being in the same city this summer....B and I have not been able to see very much of each other because of conflicting work schedules.

Consequently, I am trying to plan a fun "us" day before the summer is over.

We love sports....so some sporting event will probably be involved.

We also love eating....so lots of restaurants too.

However....I am looking for some other fun, unique, and/or interesting suggestions. :)

(I know some of you won't be able to resist the "kinky" suggestions.....but other suggestions will be appreciated as well) :)

Play It Again Sam

So I've been thinking about wedding songs lately. I know (and have known since my Mom died) that my song for the father-daughter dance will be "There's Holes In the Floor of Heaven"

However, I really can't decide on a first dance song. B and I don't really have a song...but lots of songs make me think of us.

We also aren't very traditional...so we don't have to have a "traditional" wedding song.

For example, some possible options include "Hundred Years To Live" (is that the name? its the song from the chase card commercial) or "Patience" by Guns and Roses.

However...I'm very open to suggestions :)

Out of the Office

So its looking like this may be the first week of the summer that I have to spend the entire week in the office doing research without getting to go on any "field trips". :(

Don't get me wrong...I love our office. But its about 63 degrees in there....and I'm in a room with no windows.

However....bright side.....4 day weekend.....so only 3 work days next week!!! :)

Roommate

I know people who have roommates in law school....and love it. I, however, do not....and do not want one. I cannot imagine anyone (other than B or my dad or brother) living with me last year. I was an emotional roller coaster who cried, freaked out, ate at weird times, and spent most of my time stressing.

One of my friends was looking for a new apartment for second semester and wanted to move in with me. Fortunately I had the forsight to convince her that this was a bad idea...that probably would have been the end of our friendship.

What about you guys? Roomates? :)

High School Reunion

So a little over a month ago I got the invitation for my 5 year high school reunion. And my first thought was...absolutely no way in hell!! The thought of getting together with a bunch of people I didn't like the first time around makes me a little nauseous.

I was a nerd...and a jock. I was not part of the popular crowd. I went to a high school that graduated 104 kids.

How about you guys? Reunions anyone? :)

Congrats

I want to send a big congrats to Moonlighting in Misery who is soon to be a new Dad!!

B and I are so far away from being ready for children that it is not even funny. When we go to restaurants, we almost always are seated next to the family with the screaming kids. And it drives us CRAZY!! I personally would be dragging them out the door...but thats just me :)

Dinner Dance Pants

I found out that we have an end of the year party at our firm in another city about 3 hours away (the firm headquarters is there.) So I told my boyfriend that we would go the night before...the room and our meals and mileage are paid for by the firm.

He was fine with going until I told him he needed to wear dress pants...the one pair of dress pants that he owns (and we fondly refer to as the "Dinner Dance Pants)...that I bought for him...and now he is saying he doesn't want to go. He is just kidding...but this should be quite interesting anyway :)

Carmen Sandiego
In response to the post by Masters at the Art of Time Suckage, I am definately part of the Carmen Sandiego generation.

I am also part of the generation that watched Scooby Doo, the Smurfs, and Inspector Gadget as a child. I had cabbage patch kids, pound puppies, and matchbox cars.

I had a big wheel and a my little pony.

In the summer I rode my bike, went to the pool, and played kick the can until it got dark.

What generation are you from? :)
