January 11th, 2011This semester is going by way too fast.   This semester, I'm taking 3 classes (my normal extended-evening track), Conflicts of Laws, Children and the Law Firm Program and French Law.  As an evening student, I am still taking some of my required courses. This semester I am fulfilling 2 more required courses.  The Law Firm Program (we're required to take 2) and French Law (satisfies the International Law requ...

January 4th, 2011Back at it in 2011  Classes resume in about a week, and I'm ready to hit the ground running.  Well, I will be on Monday, January 10th.  I have been resting over the break and recharging my batteries.  No work, no school and lots of rest.  This week I am back at work after being off for a week and a half.  Then I'll be racing full speed ahead next week when classes begin.    This seme...

December 15th, 2010Nearing another semester behind me!  Today I will open my last exam.  Once I access the online exam, I have 24 hours to complete it.  After that, I'M DONE!  Well I'll be done with another semester and will have a little R&R before bringing in the New Year and starting another semester.  The day after exams I'm scheduled to take a short cruise to the Bahamas with my soon to be 15 year old son. ...

December 9th, 2010Two down and two to go – This evening I took my Professional Responsibility final, my first one of the semester.  A couple of weeks ago I turned in my Health Law seminar paper.  It’s such a relief not to be writing a paper and studying for finals at the same time.  Now, I have only two more finals to go, (American Indian law and Estates and Trust), before completing another semester!  It seems that every ti...

December 6th, 2010Has law school gotten the best of me? The other day a co-worker compared me to the cartoon character Vavoom.   I’ve never heard of Vavoom until I was called it.  After finding and looking at the picture of Vavoom, I must admit that my facial expression is much like his.  And even his apparel is somewhat similar to how I’ve been dressing.  I just laughed when I saw the character, because there is a hint ...

October 24th, 2010A rewind synopsis of my most recent law school events: Sunday, the Wolverine Bar and the D. Augustus Straker Bar Associations held their annual law student reception this day.  This was a great networking opportunity.  In just the hour or so that I was at the event, I was able to build on and create new relationships.  Out of the reception even came a job offer!   Friday, I attended the Platinum i...

October 12th, 2010One of the most gratifying days in law school was today. School was fulfilling, not because something out of the ordinary happened but because I pushed through to make it a great day.  Earlier today, I was not feeling so great –actually, I still don’t feel my best.  When I was at work I was debating on attending class.  I really don’t like to miss class because so much information is covered in a single session.&...

September 23rd, 2010Law school has changed me for the worse!  Well, only as far as my physical features are concerned.   The demanding schedule of law school, work and family has caused me to slip into some very bad habits.  These bad habits include, staying up late, drinking too much coffee, snacking too often, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY NOT EXERCISING AS MUCH AS I SHOULD.  These are factors that have contributed to me gaining 30...

September 8th, 2010Today marks the third week of class for me this semester, and the first day of high school for my son!  After concluding a long weekend spent in Washington, D.C., things are back to "normal" and I am enthusiastic about new beginnings for my family.  The fun heat of summer is over and some life changing events that summer presented are behind me and I am forging full speed ahead.    To debrief you on s...

May 18th, 2010Summer school starts back in less than a week and for some reason I don't feel like I've had any vacation (or me time).   There has been so much going on and I have not had a moments rest.  I thought that the conclusion of the spring semester would leave me time to rest on my hammock and enjoy Mother Nature – but my life hasn’t slowed down long enough to kick up my feet.   Since there hasn't been any R&R for me ...
