Things that have recently been said to me (about...
“Oh, you’re definitely going to get law review. You would be really good at it.”
“I just assumed that the internship had already called you back. Obviously they’re going to pick you.”
“You’re planning to transfer right? I just assumed…”
While all of these things are flattering and positive, I’m not sure where all of this is...

Good Day
8 hours of (uninterrupted) sleep. Hot, delicious Starbucks coffee. Grape Nuts. Studying Proximate Cause by 7:15. Yup, it’s going to be a good day.

7:20pm Thought
I’m in my junior year of life. Impressive. Only a year and a semester until I’m a graduate of the “Real World School”?

Twenties
I can feel life changing and I don’t know what’s going to happen next. Sure, I have a plan and the big picture of my life is on track- but the details are up in the air. Socially, emotionally, spiritually… anything is possible. Sometimes I wish I could fast forward through the next 5 years of my life and just start again when everything is (hopefully) stable and established. But...

Weird day, weird week
This week has been bizarre. I can’t even explain it, I’m just hoping that next week is better. I’m also hoping for a good weekend of studying. I’ve been bitten by the motivation bug and am enthusiastic about studying. I’m going for those top grades and I know it’s in me. Also, in Legal Writing this morning my professor did this terrible thing where we all had to...
friendofthepeople asked: Of course, law school has the rap of being reading intensive. How big of a factor is its retention? Is a semi-eidetic memory a pre-requisite of surviving law-school?

When bad things happen to good people
Something terrible happened to a good friend of mine yesterday. It makes me sad knowing that something so awful could ever happen to someone so good. Life is very difficult sometimes. I wish there were a way to make it easier, but it doesn’t seem like it.

On Winning
For whatever reason, I often set a low bar for myself. In law school- this second semester- I have been telling myself “Oh, if I can get all A’s or A minuses it will make up for that one bad grade.” Well, you know what, why isn’t my goal to have all A pluses? Or why isn’t my goal to be the highest in my section this time around? I’m actually pretty close to (if...

Observation of the day: girls at other law schools in LA have brown hair. I’m not an outcast here… just at my school, I guess (aka blonde land).

fabfit asked: Hey, congrats on the interviews! As a future law student myself (whoo, Fall 2012), I'm just wondering - what sorts of jobs did you apply for (or more generally, with which kinds of organizations)? From what I can tell, 1L jobs are slim pickings ...
foreveranjali asked: Hey :) I'm a senior in high school and I've been thinking a lot about becoming a lawyer. I know it's pretty early of me to be stressing over this, but I wanted to know your opinion! Do you like law school? How tough is it? What did you major in for your undergraduate degree? Any general advice you could give me?

Productive Saturday
I have been up since 8 working on Property and feeling very productive. Next up is doing a final revision of my memo, reading about Pleadings for Civ Pro, and reading for Class Action.
Also, guess who has 3(!) interviews next week for summer jobs? Yay! Me! Fingers crossed that something comes through…
