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...

March 4th, 2010Already Thursday!  Today is a late babysitting sort of day. I’m usually done on Thursdays by 6:15pm, but it’s looking more like 9pm tonight. I just finished making a gourmet meal of chicken nuggets, rice and strawberries (as always, I am so thankful for their simple tastes), and now they are off playing by themselves as though I don’t exist. I suppose it’s a good time to update my blog.  It’s been a pretty fast moving w...

October 3rd, 2011Just another manic Monday… Mondays are my longest day of the week; not a great way to kick off each week, I know. Although just as long as any other Monday I’ve had this semester, today has been anything but typical. It started with the alarm going off after a restless night of not sleeping.  There was a dumpster top slamming noise reoccurring outside all night that made for anything but an ideal night of sleep.  When...

September 15th, 20113L Year Welcome back! It is crazy that two years have already passed since I started law school. It feels like I’ve been on a rollercoaster for two years filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. It is bittersweet that this is my last year of school.  Whoever said that law school gets easier was sadly mistaken.  I thought things would ease up this year, but I am busier than ever (and I really did not think it w...

April 18th, 2011Election Season It’s a pretty crazy time of year around the law school.  It is election time for class officers in the Student Bar Association.  I could not be happier to say that I have decided to retire from the SBA. I was class president for both my 1L year and currently my 2L year.  Our current SBA executive president, Nick, has been absolutely amazing and will be greatly missed next year! He is the epitom...

April 11th, 2011Writing Across The Curriculum UDM has a great program called “writing across the curriculum” which means that every required class must have a paper assignment as part of the class.  This requirement is definitely annoying; however, very beneficial.  My writing has improved tremendously, in large part, because of how much I am required to write in my classes.  The problem is when it’s April 11th, class are ove...
