February 12th, 2010Better get buff before law school… I had been having some pain in my rib cage/chest/arm area for about 2 weeks; after my car accident it seemed to have gotten worse. I decided to get it checked out by a doctor, so I went and they took x-rays to make sure everything was okay and then the doctor asked me, “What do you do for a living? Do you carry/lift heavy things?” Of course, I let him know that I am a law student that carries...

February 10th, 2010This morning I woke up to a blizzard outside and although the majority of schools in the state were closed, UDM was up and running. Although only about half to 2/3 of my class showed up, I’m glad I attended because we flew through quite a bit of material today. This week we have our ALTA conferences to spend some one on one time with our professor to discuss the brief we are currently working on. It’s really nice having ...

February 8th, 2010What a weekend! I just had the most amazing weekend! Friday night I went out for a friend’s birthday and Saturday was UDM’s Barrister’s Ball. It was at the Westin Book Cadillac and I had an amazing time! Who wouldn’t have fun with dinner, dancing, and an open bar? Today the Saint won! I’m not a big football fan but my family is from New Orleans so it was a huge celebration for my house. Unfortunately, all good things must...

February 3rd, 2010My Tuesday did not go as planned… My Tuesday seemed to be going as planned; I went to school, came home, went with my boyfriend to pick up his suit (which he will be wearing this weekend to Barrister’s Ball!), and we were on our way to the mall to have coffee and shop for a matching dress shirt and tie to go with his new suit. We were on our way, driving, and got into a car accident! My car was hit from behind, and then I...

February 1st, 2010I don’t know anyone that likes Mondays. When my alarm went off this morning I was shocked; I could have sworn I had JUST put my head down on the pillow. I want to focus this blog entry on just how exhausting law school is; I mean honestly, it’s worse than I expected. I have always been a high energy person requiring little sleep. During my undergrad I held down 3 jobs working over 40 hours each week while going to school ...

January 30th, 2010Yesterday afternoon I went to Youthville Detroit with the Community Outreach Committee and we held a second training session for the Peer Court we are starting up. It went really well and I’m looking forward to the first court session which should be held next month. Friday was a 13 hour day for me, which is a really tough way to end an exhausting week. By the time I got home last night at around 7 I crashed.&n...

January 28th, 2010I looked back on the post I wrote yesterday at 6 am and realized just how tired I must have been, I overlooked quite a few typos! I am so exhausted I can barely see straight! I’m excited tomorrow is Friday but it is going to be such a long day; I just don’t know how I’m going to make it through! I am on the community outreach committee and tomorrow evening we are going to Youthville, a Detroit School, to run a second train...

January 23rd, 2010Last night we had a Bar Night downtown hosted by the 1L class. Bar nights are really popular in law school and for a good reason. Law school is stressful and I’m sure it gets worse once actually practicing. Last night we had a great turn out, we used our class fund to pay for food so of course I think a huge perk for people was the free food. In light of the tragedy that occurred in Haiti we thought it wo...

January 21st, 2010A couple days ago I sat down to start writing my first Memorandum of Law which apparently was formerly called just a Brief. I sat down at a large table in the library, opened up a Word document, spread my cases, statutes, notes, and everything else all over the desk and then….nothing. I didn’t know where to start or how to synthesize. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and told myself to just take it slow…I o...
