Yesterday, I attended the GetMotivated seminar here in my city. There were about 17,000 people there, and it was really good. I truly enjoyed it, and I loved the presenters. There are some naysayers out there who say that these seminars are only there to make you buy their products. I have to say that …

Part-Timers have More Fun (or Responsibility), Depending on How You Look at It
As a part-time law school student with a 40-hour per week job and family, it is really distressing to hear the full-time, no-job, no-family folks talk about how hard their lives are (whine) and how much they have accomplished (brag). Really? Let's try this for example: I get up every morning at 6:30am. I get …

So it Begins Again, Football Season
Fall semester is really tough. Spring semester is tough, too, but for other reasons. Fall semester is tough because it's also the start of football season. Being a football fan, both college and pro, both televised and live, it's really hard for me to read for class when football is calling. Tonight started the real …
Shopping for a Bra
It's something that every girl has to do, but it's also something the most won't talk about. It's bra shopping, and it's something that is a bit weird. I don't really like to go, although I like having new ones for various reasons. I almost have to trick myself into going, like I did today. …
Clerking
So, I am starting to think about ways that I could make a clerkship happen again. Since I work full-time, somehow managing to squeeze in a 20-hour per week clerkship is a daunting task. I am considering volunteering somewhere, doing things at home if possible, or even working after hours. If all else fails, I …
First Week of Class in Review
Well, this first week of fall semester has been an interesting one, to say the least. Not having class every night from 6pm-9pm has been nice, but it also makes it confusing to figure out where I'm supposed to be when. On Mondays, I have class from 3-5 and 7-9, so I have the 2-hour …
My Last Night of Freedom for a While
Well, it's 9:28pm. Tomorrow evening at this time, I will just be getting home after a long day of work and school. This, I am not looking forward to this semester. I've gotten spoiled over the last few months, since my summer class got out at 6:45 or earlier every night. This semester, I have …
Every Semester’s Question
Every single semester since I've been in law school, except the first one of course, I question my reasons for going. Every semester, I come up with the same things that make this whole endeavor sound bad: 1. I'm too old to go law school. 2. I could be doing something else with my evenings, …
100 Days at a Time
When I started law school, a good friend of mine was quite encouraging. She had just finished a doctoral program, where she had to drive about 3 hours one way to class several times a month. She said that when she started she decided she could "do just about anything for 100 days", so she …
People Watching
I love to people-watch in public. It not only cracks me up to see what some people will wear, but some of their actions are also hilarious. Today's Sightings: 1. A man, with black shoes, black trouser socks that went to his knees, black pants, a dark green dress-type shirt, and a hat. The funny …
