I SO just kicked the shit out of the Prosecution in Mock Trial competion today. What's that? You want to bring in my client's old DUI? NO! You lose, improper character evidence :-D Muahahahahahahaha!

Yes that's right kids, I am back in school again and its gonna be an interesting semester...

Classes:
Constitutional Law
Federal Taxation
Evidence
International Law
Corporations

This should be interesting... I have 3 of the most brutal classes all lumped together. :-D YAY FOR INSANITY!

You know, life just sucks sometimes. Just when you think you are happy and things are great, the world kicks you in the teeth... And you have to be the one who is graceful and adult when all you really want to do is stop your foot like a 4 year old and demand what you want now and then start crying like a baby. It just sucks...

Whew. Survived the last of the nasty panic point stuff. Paper is turned in, the oral arguments are done, I have a summer job and classes end the 25th. Now, on to finals. But I am not as panicked this time around. I know what they are like and I have a better handle on what to do and how to prepare. Oral arguments were fun. 'Cept when I ( Read more... )

This was my primary style.

I am the sonnet, never quickly thrilled;
Not prone to overstated gushing praise
Nor yet to seething rants and anger, filled
With overstretched opinions to rephrase;

Not those that seek unjustified ( Read more... )

It's really amazing what having someone hug you and say "talk to me" can do to your stress levels. I was on the verge of neurosis and I was pulled back by someone stubborn enough to cut past my self determination to be tough and who cared enough to just listen. I feel infinitely better, and seeing my family also recharged the batteries. They are ( Read more... )

Had another migraine yesterday. Spent 15 minutes hoping I wasn't getting one and lost. I'm trying to stay ahead and trying to keep my stress levels low, but it's not working as well as I would like or need it to. At least I have a summer job; that's one big thing not eating at me. But now it's time to freak out about the giant final paper, the ( Read more... )

So I go in for my interviews today. Fine, didn't feel too good about em. Went and took my midterm. I get out of my midterm and I have a voice mail. And who should be on that voice mail? The Public Defender I interviewed with for the Mental Health department. Who by the way is the coolest human being ever. And he's asking me if I want the job ( Read more... )

My friends, I am going to die this next week. Particularly Wednesday ( Read more... )

Could anything be more frustrating than writer's block? Right now I don't think so. I have the case from hell blocking my brain. I have to argue for the reasonable woman standard (save your jokes for now or I might punch you) for the 6th Circut court which only has one case that says to use that standard, a Supreme Court case that implicitly ( Read more... )
