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 …
Tours Are Me
Yes, I have more goofy tour questions and stories to brighten your world. Just think of them as my little Tuesday gift. The other day, I was touring a small group. We had seven folks signed up, but only three showed up for some reason or another. I went ahead and took the three, mainly …
Jumping on the Couch in the Jungle Room
So, 34 years ago today, Elvis died. He was 42, I think. My sister, though, probably knows exactly how old he was, like to the minute and second, as she is a huge Elvis fan. Me, not as much, although I do have to admit I have a few of his songs on my iPod. …
