March 30th, 2010It’s Election Day at the law school. Today is the much anticipated SBA (Student Bar Association) executive board election. The stakes are pretty high: the President of the SBA gets a full scholarship, and the other officers receive some sort of scholarship as well. I haven’t seen this sort of campaigning since the Obama/McCain election…and maybe not even then. There was quite the disagreement this year about how SBA funds were al...

March 29th, 2010Monday again. I am not a Monday person.  On the plus side, we don’t have a lot of Mondays left in the school year…after we get through today, there are five Mondays left. The end is near. This weekend was a pretty good mix of productivity and fun. I had a contract due for ALTA on Sunday, so I put a few hours into that, did some reading for class today, caught up on some laundry, cleaned out my shower drain, did some grocery...

March 24th, 2010So this is what it means to be busy… We had our G. Mennen 1L moot court competition on Saturday. It was a long day, but I think generally enjoyable for everyone. I was honored to be one of the 34 students (out of about 280 first year students) selected to advance to the quarterfinals in the competition, as was my fellow blogger Ashley. Our reward for our hard work? We got to spend the next couple days preparing an argument for th...

March 18th, 2010Today is a day for kleenex, cough drops and juice boxes. I’ve been healthy all semester (which was a big deal for me!) and of course that all changes right when I really can’t afford to get sick. With law school, missing one class is enough to set you behind…as such, it takes a lot for most students to give themselves a sick day. Of course, when half of the class is coughing and blowing their noses…it’s no surprise when the o...

March 16th, 2010I write to you today from that dark state between utter exhaustion and just a bit too much caffeine.  Moot court is on Saturday, and the pressure is starting to build. I haven’t seen the 1Ls this worn out since last semester’s final exams. On one hand, I’m really excited about the oral advocacy competition, but on the other hand, I just want it to be over so that I can get some semblance of a life back.  Last night, af...

March 14th, 2010What a weird weekend. So our supply agreement assignment deadline got pushed back to Monday at 5pm. As a result, on Thursday night I ended up doing my reading for Friday before doing my supply agreement…and by the time I finished reading it was pushing 1am, I had been up for eighteen hours and I was going to bed. Friday, I got home from school and spent a couple hours clearing some shows off of my DVR. That evening, we went out ...

March 10th, 2010Greetings from Tim Hortons!Nothing against all of the other coffee shops and food places out there, but Tim Hortons is arguably the best place to do homework. The food and coffee beverages cost about half as much as they do anywhere else, the one near me has free wifi and friendly employees, and unless you’re there during their peak morning times, it is usually really quiet and you have your pick of tables (without having to fight...

March 9th, 2010Today’s my lucky day…no, it really is!  Last night was a miserable night for me; I had a lot going on at home, ended up awake until 2am working on homework, had to be up at 7am and then I ended up twenty minutes late to class this morning because of construction on I-96, combined with a center lane accident. During rush hour. Headed downtown. Yuck. No, that’s not the lucky part.  Then, we had an extended ALTA class (abo...

March 7th, 2010You know you live in metro Detroit when it is 45 degrees and sunny and it can be declared “a beautiful day.” I attempted to get ahead on homework this morning, but the allure of the beautiful weather was too strong and I ended up going on a four and a half mile bike ride instead. My lungs and knees aren’t too happy with me, but it was so nice to get outside in the sunshine.  This weekend has been pretty unproductive so f...
