02:21 pm - Medical Blog Bleh. Okay, so LJ is now going to become my record for illnesses? Got sick yesterday (the sort which requires the constant presence of a trashcan), I have no idea what it was or where I got it, though I can probably point to work. Lots of folks have been calling in sick lately with mysterious ailments, and in fact the other day a girl came in after having called in the day prior (saying she was going to the hospital no less) and announced that she was feeling much better. I apparently didn't scooch away from her fast enough, or something. Then, of course, there's the fact that we've already reached 300,000 visitors for the year, many of whom are probably NOT from St. Louis. Curse you, darn foreigners!!! (like Illinois!) Anyway, I'm just happy to be feeling better and not having my stomach try to leap out my throat every 20 minutes, but am still slightly concerned that this is the second time within about a month that I've come down pretty ill very fast. This doesn't normally happen to me. If it happens a third time I'm calling the quack... Current Location: school Current Mood: blah Tags: sick

12:40 pm - Tea with the Queen Wanted to get this down before I forgot it...Had a strange dream last night, where me and several classmates apparently went to Buckingham Palace for a tour or something. Very swanky, lots of dark wood and people in fancy uniforms. We had just been shown the Parlor, where the Queen usually takes her dinner (it was a fairly small room, actually.), when someone noticed the time, and said "Hey, isn't this usually when Britons take their tea?" To which the staff and our tour guide says "Yes. And we never miss our tea.", and then they all promptly sit down and begin having tea and scones! Me and the others were kind of left standing awkwardly around the tables as our tour guide and the Queen's entire staff begin snacking (sort of like watching one of those Living History exhibits, except it was Living Britons), but then they were kind enough to notice and invited us to have Authentic British Tea in the Queen's Dining room as well. Everything was going splendidly when I asked "So how often does Her Majesty have tea here anyway?", and of course as soon as this is out of my mouth the Queen herself shows up to take tea. It was rather amusing to see everyone leap up out of their chairs, tickled pink that the Queen had arrived for tea (I get the feeling she did not take it there often), and then the pathetic attempts by a score of American tourists to kneel properly (it sort of involved going all the way down to the floor in a squat...)overshadowed by the crisp and expert kneeling of the staff. In any case the Queen had tea, was a very pleasant woman to converse with, and then she trotted off to do...I dunno, other Queenly stuff. The next thing I remember was turning back to the table where we had all been eating and seeing everyone's credit cards and small purses left there, as though they were paying for a tab. The next thing I recall was me trying to gather up their stuff so it wouldn't get lost, and a general kerflufflery when my classmates realized their credit cards were no longer on that table. I blame this entire dream on this comic strip. Still--tea with the Queen! Well! Current Location: the niche in school Current Mood: complacent Tags: dreams

01:26 pm - Journal of a Midwest Lawyer Mm, really not much on any sort of front at the moment. June is slipping away, and while I would normally bemoan the fact, given that for the last 11 days we've been in the thrall of a ghastly heat wave hasn't made me overly fond of it. I am an air-conditioned wuss. I'm waiting for the delivery of my Property hornbook, and have high hopes that it will help me untangle some of the stuff I've been slogging through lately. Cross your fingers for me. In the world of celebs, as everyone who's on the internet knows, it's been a bad time for the Hollywood set lately. David Carridene, Ed McMahon, Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and today Billy Mays?? WTF, death? It's seriously creepy...

02:02 pm - Yaaay, me!! (the Birthday song) Okay, not so much a song, just a quick postie being happy that my birthday was the other day. :) I had a great time, and thank everyone who wished me a great birthday. I've still got fantastic food left over (for now; see lunch) from my b-day dinner, got a facial, went and saw the circus, and am now looking forward to next month's conjoined b-day celebration for myself and kmajor! Yaay! Oh, plus I got Phantom tix today; best seat in the house, baybee! On the education front, Property, I fear, may engulf me with its wackadoo terminology. Life estate with a vested remainder? Fee simple absolute in event of a contingent remainder? Yes folks, this is the language I swim in now. Hold your noses. And, just to prove the impact law school is having on me, I was required to go to a cultural awareness thing at work the other day, and when I was given a worksheet that said "Who am I? Who are our customers?" Along with a "circle the following that apply," I required further detailed instructions. Yesh. Leave nothing to chance, says I. It could be any or all of the above; how would I determine if a Baha'i follower came in? What are the rules? I need a statute, dammit. Current Location: school Current Mood: birthday!

06:05 pm - There should be a law or something Okay, there just really needs to be a cosmic mandate or something that when one has the entire weekend off, and it's nice weather, and you've pre-made plans to go out and enjoy yourself with friends, you cannot get sick. I don't know what the hell it is I got, I only know I woke up with an unhappy tummy, chills and sweats, and wound up with a 101.3-degree fever on Sunday. Consequently, myself, kmajor and sillypuck were unable to hang out, get Red Robin and see Star Trek. :((((( *sigh* Current Mood: sick

01:27 pm - Fun in the (16th century) Sun On Saturday, I did the following: drank beer (and rum) ate fried things smoked a cigar (soaked in rum) watched bloodsport rooted for the bad guy bought a brand-new dagger and wore it on my belt and got my hand kissed no less than three times! Being (slightly) bad rocks. You, too can have such an experience! Merely go henceforth: http://www.stlrenfaire.com Also, my Saturday classes look like they're going to be entertaining. And easy. Score! Current Mood: happy

03:54 pm - Journal of a [summer break-starved] Midwest Lawyer Exams are done, I've gone to Chicago, I've returned home aaaaand...I've started back to school. *dies* It's ridiculously hard to concentrate in this class, which is only two hours long. It's property, btw, and I sense that I'm going to have diffculty deciphering exactly what it is this prof wants us to glean from his class. He's certainly seems nice enough, but just...random. I've got my Saturday class starting tomorrow (9-noon. *siiigh*), and I really hope it'll be easy. Client Counselling. True, it's four hours on a Saturday, but it's also only 5 classes long. That means I'll get my practical skills requirement out of the way long before having to worry about the Property final. Plus, by doing it in the summer I don't have to worry about the competition that marks the fall class. Nooo, no. I'll be in moot court then. Because I clearly have some horrible built-in subversive self-annhiliation setting or something. Aside from the classes, I'm going to be working at the old job (figure I'll try for something lawyerly in the fall), trying to keep up with readings, and generally making an effort to have at least some fun. I WILL go to 6 Flags, dammit! Speaking of fun, Chicago certainly was. Sadly, my family did not make it down to Chinatown, but we were able to go to some places we hadn't yet been to. Among them, the Art musuem. Luckily, the very week we went it happened to be free (yes folks, free) because they'd just finished the new modern art wing. I got some great pictures in there, and I must say they have a lovely, hugely varied, collection. :) We also went to the brand-new Harry Potter exhibition debuting at the Museum of Science and Industry, and man that was awesome! A lovely, coherent presentation of sets and props and costumes from the many Potter movies, it was set out to let you travel throughout the rooms of Hogwarts, Hagrid's hut, the Forbidden Forest, etc. So cool. I highly recommend it, if you're in Chicago between now and September. After Chicago my family went to Wisconsin, where my cousin Jerry got married. It was a lovely ceremony and the reception venue was completely awesome. The weird thing about the downtown, though, was that it was EMPTIER than my downtown--and I thought that was impossible. Don't get me wrong; everyone in Wisconsin that I met seemed very nice, but it was just...empty. Kinda creepy. Anyway, glad to be back home, hope to go to the Ren Faire this weekend, and more updates as the summer classes conintue! Current Mood: indifferent Tags: lawyer

09:52 pm - Journal of a [Finished!] Midwest Lawyer Huzzah! Hooray! Toll the church bells and release some doves, dammit! I have officially completed my FIRST YEAR OF LAW SCHOOL! *please note that I am studiously avoiding all mentions of my dreaded summer Property class* I won't bore you with the details or show you my scars (well, alright, I probably will later), suffice to say it was every bit as hellish as the stories you have heard. Each test was dreadful in its own right, though I rank Civ Pro up there with the likes of the dreaded Torts exam. *shudders8 Anyway, with nary a breath to spare I'm off to Chicago! Then up to Wisconsin for my cousin's wedding! I've brought paper, but I doubt I'll get around to drawing anything! Whee! *dashes away* Current Mood: rushed Tags: lawyer

11:56 am - Journal of a [Testing] Midwest Lawyer Lo! Exam week is upon us. Weep, children, weep in fear for the imminent destruction of your braaain. Because that is, of course, what will happen to me. I anticipate shoving in so much information in an inadvisably small amount of time that my brain will, in fact, melt. Myah. Anywho, just wanted to slap this tidbit up, seeing as how I anticipate vanishing from the blogosphere for the next couple of weeks to do the aforementioned cramming. The one silver lining is that, this time, my exams are happily spread out enough that I can focus on one subject at a time. First up: Civ Pro. Ohhh, joinder. How I loathe thee. Away! Current Mood: I work too hard! Tags: lawyer

08:00 pm - Journal of a [Beleagured] Midwest Lawyer Ohhh man. One week. Just one freaking week left until all Hell breaks loose. And then! Then I can have a slight peace of mind!!! So clossse... Well, as happens every year when Spring finally decides to get with the program and establish itself, I develop a raging case of the "Gotta get the Hell Outta Here"s. Wanderlust strikes me something fierce, and I really do think that I could hightail it around the country, hopping from city to city and enjoying the myriad populaces and towns I run across in a very Kerouakian/beatnik sort of way. I'm sure it's the combination of fine weather, stress overload and the tantalizing end-of-the-school-year-call, but ooohhhh man--these are the days where I could literally just start driving down the highway and see where I end up eight hours from now. [EDIT: The Travel Channel is not helping] (Although, for any potential readers either a) not living in the US or b) from a small northeastern state, for the record I'd probably still be in Missouri. Possibly Kansas.) Anyway, this afternoon wanderlust hit me like a ton of bricks, and it was only the very real and depressing down-to-earth realization that I am DIRT POOR that kept me from convincing my mom (who has also been struck with Springtime Migration Syndrome) to keep on going until we reached North Carolina. Or Seattle. Or somewhere. With that, I trudged back home, popped a beer and proceeded to finish my stupid busy-work project for LRW, which should in all other respects be over. Speaking of LRW, in keeping with my supposed lawyer-ly theme, I guess I'll relay how the dreaded Oral Arguments went. In a word, not so bad. I was shaking really hard when I first went up there (been a while since I spoke in public), but chilled out after a while. The judges didn't really have much to say except "You both did a great job" so, um, yay? I suspect my opponent/partner was telling everyone I did a fantastic job or something, because I kept getting told "So, I hear you did great!" from my classmates. Hooray? I was surprised that I was actually able to keep somewhat on track and hit points from all three of my themes, given that my poor opponent was pretty well hammered with questions right out the starting gate. Anyway, it's over, I am fantastically relieved, and I have stupidly decided to continue this torture by signing up for Moot Court in the Fall. Supposedly it gets out earlier than other classes, which is my motivation... I also suspect I got a good set of judges; others were apparently not so lucky. I heard horror stories from other people about their judges asking them inappropriate questions for what we knew/had been told. Being 1Ls, we're just kind of thrown into Oral Arguments, with only a "here's what your intro needs to contain" to guide us. Our teacher told us we wouldn't need to know full citations of anything because the judges would have those cases, which is why it was an unpleasant surprise for some of my friends when their judges asked them "So what circuit is "x" case in? What's that citation?" While I suppose on the one hand it's good to expose us to randomness now to be prepared, on the other when you've been told that Orals are going to be a certain way...Not fun. In other news, I'm sad to report that I don't think I got the Teaching Fellowship. *sad* I haven't heard from anybody yet, but was told that I'd likely get an answer by the end of this week. As a result, I am stuck at my current job for yet another summer which will be made all the more hellish thanks to our expansion. Ughhh. But, I have also decided to sign up for Client Counselling, which while on Saturday morning for four hours, is also for only four Saturdays. Hey, it gets me my Practical Skills requirement and is done in a month? What the hell. Given my school schedule then, I have also determined I'll probably only be able to work about 2 days a week, since Property is Mon, Wed and Thurs and Client Counselling is Sat. If I work Fri and Sun, then I get to take off Tues for "me" day. Because of this wayward schedule, this also means that I'm probably not going to be able to look for any other work as well. Most of the job opportunities the Career Services people throw out to us are firms looking for full time people or at least 30 hours/week, which might be manageable with my Property class--except for the fact that it's from 4-6 pm. Exactly smack in the middle of the day. *snnoyed* So, to sum up, my travel burner's lit up, I'm juuust starting to freak out about exams, I am thoroughly fed up with school, and I'm still stuck at my old job. At least there's Chicago at the end of May. Current Mood: worn out Tags: lawyer

05:54 pm - Journal of a [crazy] Midwest Lawyer There are officially 10 more days left until the end of the semester. The walls are closing in on me, I can feel it. Yes, my Brief 2 is done, but now I've got to finish practice exams. Do my Oral Argument. Hack out some stupid final reseach project. Do outlines. Attend a wedding. Go to work. Then take exams. And then do it all over again over the summer. Then again in the fall... While I'm sure this whiny tangent sounds a lot like last post's, that's too bad, because this is what's on my mind these days. ALL THE TIME. Yes boys and girls, the brief and nervous honeymoon I may have had with law school in the beginning, bedazzled in its impressive and formiddable light has gone. Run its course. I say this with the conviction of the trampled and worn, like a racehorse driven too hard by its rider: I hate freaking Law School. And I still have to take out summer loan money. Nng. {EDIT:}I have also become a foodhound, scrounging the hallways and pouncing on whatever tidbits the clubs have left when they put them out. I seriously rummage through the stacked pizza boxes on a trashcan--and have in fact been rewarded for my efforts, discovering an entire untouched pizza. Today, it's sandwiches put out in the Atrium. I suspect this is my body's inherent reaction to the lack of sleep I've been getting lately. Y'know, fuel for self-preservation and all... Current Mood: cranky Tags: lawyer

02:22 pm - Journal of a Midwest Lawyer Hunh. Well, for all my waving of arms in the air it turns out pre-reg wasn't so scary. In fact, it was over in about thirty seconds. [determindly does NOT insert vaguely sexual reference about not being satisfied] I'm not really sure what I got out of it, except a sense of being like a shopaholic let loose in the mall with a 70% off sale. It was all "get get get getthisNOW!" but in the end I'm left scratching my head an wondering if I made a good purchase. Moot Court? Two seminars? Wtf??? All three of these classes are very writing-intensive, with Moot Court resulting in more Oral Arguments. Which I hate. However, the competition part of it is not required, unlike my prior-potential class Client Counselling. The worst part is I won't even know if I got in to the seminars/moot court until next month...because my school is weird like that. On the other hand, thanks to some timely info from a likely future professor, I am happy to learn that I'll be able to take my Intellectual property survey!! So yes, this is my life now: Uncertainty, blindly fumbling ahead, projecting that I'll be able to do ten things at once...So much for having an easier next semester.

12:19 pm - Journal of a Midwest Lawyer Yeah, one of the most stressful things about Law School? The one that they don't tell you about and just sort of fling at you like an unidentifiable, moldy, rotting roadkill carcass? Registration. You'd think it would it would be simple; pick some classes that sound neat, make sure their times fit together nicely or in an otherwise agreeable pattern, hit the "register" button and Poof! You're all set. Oh no. Not so, my children. Like everything else in this institution, you've got to actively work for this sucker. I have just attempted to sign up for three things, none of which I'm sure I'll get, and I have yet to register for the courses that are actually mandatory. I am so confused. *sigh* Current Mood: confused Tags: lawyer

01:15 pm - (belated) Journal of a Midwest Lawyer ssss...oooohhh. Yeah. S'been three weeks since last post, you say? Uhh. Wow. Sorry. Well, we'll just blame Spring Break and the Annotated Outline[read: practically complete] for Brief 2, shall we? Myeah. If the lack of updates has been any indication, absent Spring Break which I claim JUST FOR ME, my time-availability o' meter has been at negative 1000 for a while now. Those numbers, I realize, make no sense, but since I suspect my brain has been slowly being churned into mush that is also no fault of my own. Readings have been waffling into thicker and thicker territory for a while, in content if not in page numbers. Sometimes it is both, and then I cry to myself in a dark corner. I have also been trying to fling out applications for potential monies for this summer, including a Public Interest stipend (brought to you through the totally convenient fact I'm working for a goverment agency as an intern) and a Faculty Fellowship. I am desperately hoping to get both because it will not only mean a) I'll finally be getting some much-neeed free(ish) cash, but also b) I will have a summer job that could help my fledgling lawyering skills. I have not applied to any internships at firms for the summer because I'm taking Property class, which is from 4-6 Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Add to that my current internship, and I suspect they wouldn't give the time of day to someone only able to appear sporadically. The Fellowship, on the other hand, I believe affords much more flexibility. So, cross your fingers for me. :) School itself is shockingly close to completion. I have only five weeks of classes left until exams. FIVE WEEKS. 8-o Within this time, I am supposed to finish compiling my Brief in Response to Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment, do three Oral Arguments, attend a Court of Appeals panel, register for Fall classes, be in my friend's wedding, outline stuff, and work, plus go to classes, of course. Nngh. And then I get to do more over the summer. On the other hand, my first year of law school will be officially done, and I can revel in the fact that I survived! ...mostly. I am planning to go after an International Law certificate, and within that endeavor study abroad in Berlin next summer. We'll see how that pans out, given that this summer's Berlin trip got cancelled for a lack of interest. Something about super-condensed classes... *shrugs* So! I apologize for a lack of updating and a further lack of substantive content, but as you can tell from my whining life has been a whirlwind. You do what you can do, I suppose.

01:03 pm End of week 6. Aahhh, Spring Break is so close, I can almost taste it! Best part is, my time-off request was approved by my boss, so I'll be off allll week! Yes boys and girls, and what does this crazy-hard-workin' lass plan to do with her well-deserved upcoming time off? Mayhaps fly off to a sun-lavished land of warmth and sand? Mayhaps revel in all-night frolicking and general merry-making? No! Even better! I plan...on making outlines!!! *sigh* Yeah. Well, that and sleeping in every single day (except Wednesday, when I have to do my internship). And working on my friend's wedding present. But hey, y'know what? My life has become so jam packed that really, that sounds like the most appealing thing in the world to me right now. And, since I will have the entire week off, that also means I might actually be able to get together with friends!! Ye gods! As it is, I was able to hook up with pocky_imp and sillypuck Tuesday evening, which turned out to be a godsend. Dunno why, but Tuesday I was just cranky as all get out. I think it had to do with the fact that I took a co-worker's earlier hours next Sunday. Even though I thought about it! Even though I vascillated back and forth and hemmed and hawed for a good minute, I, being the damnably nice person I am, caved and said I'd be manager that day instead of her. This means I get to come in at 9:30 that morning, instead of 11. And that I don't know when I'll be able to get out of there, because it inevitably takes way too long to close. :( Urgh. And it was that, in combination with the fact that I'm juggling school and an internship that pushed me over into the realm of grumpy. Classes in general are all right, but the actual Brief 1 is quickly filling the rear-view mirror, as it were, and I just have no time. (she says as she blogs) Anyway, even though I'm trying desperately to shore up my future situation (me and the future-cast, y'know), I'm still feeling like I'm not doing enough, but I don't know what else to do, and readings take all day, and...and... Yeah. *deflates* But, kvetching about life in general the other day did make me feel remarkably better, if only because it helped to know that my friends were feeling similarly trapped. Too, I met with my LRW teacher the other day and couched some ideas I had about my paper, and was pleasantly surprised to find that I was indeed on the right track. So! There's that. It seems strange to think that summer vacation (such as it is. I have summer classes to take) is only 2 months away. I discount May, because that's exam time, and the remainder of February because I'm already in it. All I know is, I will be extraordinarily happy when this semester is over. *sighs* Okay, til next time then.

12:48 pm - Journal of a Midwest Lawyer Beginning of week 5. Spring Break has become, for me, the light at the end of the mid-point tunnel. I have already determined that I shall ask off for the whole thing, because I know that I will desperately need the time and the mental reprieve. One the homework front, now that the draft of Brief 1 is out of the way a slight burden has been lifted from my hunching, Quasimodo-like shoulders (so fabulously formed due to hauling around more crap than a Nepalese yak). I sadly realized that waay more research needs to be done, and I have yet to determine if the revelation from my former TA that even THEY couldn't figure out Brief 1 is calming, or just nauseating. Thanks for throwing the impossible at us, professor. The long-term prognosis for my Law career is in complete flux, which makes me nervous due to my inherint far-planning nature. [EDIT: temporarily paused for school] [EDIT: aaaand...resume!] Where was I? Oh yes. In flux. Damn this Gemini, Janus-faced nature of mine, but today (now Wednesday), I feel better and, really, not that perturbed. Of course, this is likely largely due to the Public Interest stipend I intend on applying for (which I am qualified for since my internship is with a public servant.), as well as the Faculty Fellowship. Me? In school and doing research for a professor for monies? Why, I can do that!! Ye gods, I am a nerd. *rolls eyes* I am, in fact, so nerdy that I realized I may be more drawn to such sedate yet completely pragmatic areas of Law as Wills, Trusts, and Property. I don't know why, but even as we're reading about fraud I find myself inexoribly drawn in, and cases about supposed values of property intrigued. Hey--as long as I can pay back my loans with it, I don't care. I have also realized that sicne I am now undertaking the gargantuan tasks of juggling Law School, paying work, and non-paying work that these precious blogging times will have to be carefully monitored and scheduled. Reading must come first (or, in the slacker alternative, not at all, I suppose), and then play in whatever time remains. *sigh* Ah well. Luckily LJ doesn't take that long to check... And, as a final note, my internship will be very interesting, ultimately. I actually went on an outreach today with my boss, where we presented to a group of seniors. It was intereting to hear their concerns, and also slightly frustrating to see how much they are being preyed upon. Example: Predatory Mail Scams. My own grandfather was sadly subject to a lot of that, and despite me and my mother's constant pleas to just chuck it, he nonetheless sent Foundation to Save the Amazonian Spotted Frog and Worldwide Federation to Save Skinny Nepalese Children money. I am making up these names, but you know what I mean; scammy organizations with quasi-governmental names throwing inflammatory literature with partial truths at susceptable older citizens who promise to lobby on their behalf or lean on Congress' ear or whatever if they will "just send us a contribution or your Social Security number!" Urgh. Anywho, more later, when I can. Current Mood: lethargic Tags: lawyer

01:49 pm - Journal of a Midwest Lawyer Week 1...er, middle of week 2. Okay, my first week back to school after a far-too short break wasn't all that horrible. Mostly just trying to figure out the insanity that is my non-conformist schedule. Seriously, I've got classes ALL OVER THE WEEK. Highly random. And, while last week went pretty smoothly (a bit jarring to try and comprehend new books and new information and get back into the saddle of the old ways), I should have known it wouldn't keep for long. The fabulous 3-day weekend was rendered null and void by Tuesday. By the way, did you all watch the Inauguration? I did. Man, that was so cool... XDDD Historically speaking, that was one for the books. And I watched it. Was it on par with Kennedy or Roosevelt or King's speech? That remains to be seen. But man, that quartet rocked. And the mass of people was pretty darn mind-blowing. After the aforementioned swearing-in of our 44th president, massive amounts of work were dumped on me. All due Thursday. All of which I am conveniently putting off doing so I can write to you folks. Further, beginning next week I start my internship. And, while I'm confident I can do the actual work assigned to me, what worries me most is the fact I'll have to start getting my butt up at hours that have been shunned as much as possible for the last, oh, six years. I am not a morning person. Also, I worry that the time given over to this internship will put a severe dent in my crowded schedule--will I be able to keep up with the reading I'm required to do? Can I finish all of my assignments? Will I just wind up melting into a massive puddle of fetid goo? Only time will tell, I suppose. Oh yes, and I'm also prepping the ol' resume for OCI(on-campus interview) submission. No guarentee whatsoever I'll get chosen to be interviewed, but hell--can't hurt to throw one's hat in the ring, as it were. So. Basically, I'm starting to freak out on day 7, and I'm trying to gird myself to take what's coming. Wish me luck. Current Mood: frazzled Tags: lawyer
