Then I'm finished with this place until August when I may have to come back to do some job interviews. If not I still have to come back to get some prescriptions because Singulair costs around $110 a month without insurance and whatever BC I choose will probably cost $50 so I'll get the cost back within 2 months, even if it is the most expensive ( Read more... )

"Usually every tie I wear has some significance, except on the days I don't wear ties to piss of Mr. [insert classmate's name here ( Read more... )

I am so glad I am not staying here next year. Yesterday was registration day and half the people didn't get much (or any) of what they wanted. I have one friend who needs to take patents to do patent law, yet the class was filled. It really made no sense since only 12 people in the entire school can actually sit for the patent exam and 24 slots ( Read more... )

Sometimes my last class of the day leaves me in a WTF mood. I wasn't aware of the VT massacre because I kept going back and forth to the clinic and didn't really talk to people much or see the news, but in class things got really weird at the end as we went into this "neighbors" session and some girl started going on about the Amish school massacre ( Read more... )

This week in one class I had to read this article/study review of depressed, unethical lawyers. I am pretty sure the guy had only experienced law and not another career because his complaints about law were somewhat similar to complaints about other careers-

1. Lawyers pad hours in 15 minute increments. Guess what? Other fields charge by the hour ( Read more... )

Some law students tend to get haughty if they make honor roll first semester. Suddenly they think they're better than everyone else and are fine with the fact that the services provided by career development offices are limited to the top 1/3 or top 1/4 of the class. What makes it worse is when people bitch about a career office actually trying to ( Read more... )

You know what I'm talking about- when the professor drags his feet for 2/3 of the semester and then once the end is in sight he realizes he needs to finish the entire textbook prior to the exam. He remains undeterred by the fact that he's currently less than halfway through the material or that the combined required readings in all other classes ( Read more... )

So my school dropped in the US News rankings by quite a bit- possibly due to a misreported employment stat plus the effects from the overenrollment, but that's just a speculation. I guess the rankings aren't "officially" out until Friday, although it's hit a lot of newsstands and I am pretty sure the dean has to have heard already. It seems like a ( Read more... )

I am finished with legal writing- woohoo! I had my oral argument and aside from my slightly dramatic consumptive heroine exit prior to the rebuttal, I think I did passably well. I had Professor C+ as one of my judges and he was pretty harsh but said I answered his questions well- phew. There was only one specific negative about me so I felt that ( Read more... )

Apparently we're adding a new Role Playing element to the petition class that's absolutely hilarious. Today we were talking about fair housing and one TA pretended to be this conservative, fundamentalist Southern mayor (he's African American) and other people made up these ridiculous characters like a lesbian couple with a teenage son and some ( Read more... )
