It is what it is

70 plus hours a week broken down: classroom hours = 15 work hours = 30 study hours = 15 (at least) law review hours = 3 extracurricular crap to add to the resume = 4 responding to e-mail = 2 Advice?   Learn to appreciate the phrase “it is what it is” because it is exactly [...]

long time gone

Remember the Dixie Chicks?  They have this song called “Long Time Gone” and it is just the perfect song for the moment. I’ve been missing in action here for way too long.  Why? Time and life.  So, please allow me to catch you up on all things Kel.  You may want to sit down, or [...]

Politics

I hate how political things become in law school. I’ve become scrappy, and while it is a nice change, it makes me nervous. I don’t do well biting my tongue.

Women in Law Wednesday

So I’ve been working for a Judge this semester, a female Judge with an all female staff.  There are two externs: myself and another 2L John. The two of us are basically competing for a clerkship here as this Judge only hires from her extern pool.  And I have the feeling that I lost that [...]

Reason #$%@! why law review is ridiculous

Second, this school has several clinic programs, law review, and an invitation only moot court program. My frustration lies in the fact [...]

Time suck

Today I have spent a considerable amount of time organizing my new computer.  When I purchased my MacBook I bought the One to One service which takes everything off your old computer and puts in on the new one.  I told them the problem with my old one, that the memory failed, and they told [...]

Today…

I became the proud owner of a Mac. Now I just need recommendations for what or how I should organize my law class notes. Or just cool Mac tips in general.

Women in Law Wednesday

Today I’m going to depart slightly from the norm and just say that I’m overwhelmed with journal work right now. I’m attempting to be one of the few women to get her article published with the theme actually incorporating discussions of feminism. I have a feeling that my law school journal will reject it though. [...]

It’s Sunday

and I have way too much stuff to do today. Instead I’m planning a vacation. I’m sick of reading about far away places without the possibility of visiting. I’m thinking London, because to me it’s the most romantic city I’ve been to. And J could improve in that area considering his idea of romance is [...]
