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’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 [...]

Resolutions anyone?

I start classes again on Monday.  Yes, Monday, as in two days from now.  My break of working in pajamas in bed is over and as usual I’m not looking forward to next semester.  I’m taking 17 credits and working three days a week for a split docket judge.  I also have a mock trial [...]

Happy New Year

Dear friends,
I wish you all the happiness in this new year. I say this while in bed, with sniffles, and watching my very own Jane Austen marathon. J is with me too, although he isn’t watching Jane Austen’s finest put to the screen, he is instead providing running commentary such as, “What if [...]

Women in Law Wednesday

Who’s that Girl?:  Young Lawyers Blog’s wlansden discusses an experience that I too have gone through (and I’m not even a lawyer yet).  I’m still learning how to respond to similar [...]

My Hot and Cold of the Day

Read this short piece.
Tell me whether the economy persuaded you to apply for law school.
And then tell me whether you’d sit on your arse for a year and be paid to do so.  Seriously.

While I’m all for our society educating itself as much as possible (if only to rid us of that horrible “Are You [...]

Is…

spending the day on Twitter and writing her law review note.
You?
Yes, YOU? Make me jealous with your comments!

Seriously?

I cannot stand it when female law students try to use their sexuality in a manner which tries to exude that they’re smart, when really they’re just being flirtatious. I can see right through it and I can also tell that this is a likely reason why she doesn’t hang out with other [...]

Two down two to go…

Yes, exams.
Come Tuesday I’ll be done and moving on to other projects.
I’m pretty sure I’m going to fail my next exam–that whole you have to memorize the rule book–yeah, I don’t do that well. Actually, show me a person who does do that well!
And it’s cold. Which means poor Guinness [...]
