March 19th, 2010Well my sickness has fully taken over me.  :( I need to feel better because tomorrow is the 1L Moot Court Competition!  I cannot explain in words how badly I need to spend a day in bed… On a more exciting note, I’ve decided where I will be spending my summer- @ the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office.  I’ll be working in the Trials Division Domestic Violence Unit and I couldn’t be more excited!  I am ecstatic to ...

March 17th, 2010Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I’ve been fighting off some sort of sickness but I think the sickness is winning :(. Maybe if I could squeeze in a nap I’d feel a little bit better, but I won’t be home until very late tonight.  Our Moot court competition is in 3 days; I definitely cannot afford to be sick! In preparation for the oral arguments this weekend we have been assigned a coach to have around 10 hours worth of practice in gr...

March 12th, 2010Happy Birthday Mom! I wish I had time to do something fun with my mom for her birthday but I’m stuck at school all day and I’m literally drowning in work.  I’m going to be really honest in this blog with what I have found to be the biggest struggle for me in regards to balancing school and life.        Law school gives you enough homework, papers, assignments, meetings, events, and sleeples...

March 10th, 2010I really wanted to go to an Irish Lawyer’s networking event in Ferndale this Thursday (even though I’m not Irish at all) but it looks as though I won’t be able to anymore.  My oral arguments coach for the moot court competition coming up decided to hold practice on Thursday from 5-7.   Practice is much more important at this point than networking so I can’t gripe about it too much.  Today I will be spending a l...

March 8th, 2010Today has been a long but productive day.  A friend and I worked on analyzing a supply purchase agreement this morning at Caribou Coffee. After making a quick stop to the chiropractor we made it to school just in time for Lunch with a Lawyer.  We were fortunate enough to have Mr. Ven Johnson from Fieger, Fieger, Kenney, Johnson, & Giroux come in for our lunch today.  This lunch was the best in the series so far....

March 5th, 20101L Moot Court Competition On March 20th, every single 1L will be competing against each other in the school’s annual G. Mennen Williams Moot Court Competition.  We’ve essentially been preparing for this since the beginning of the semester.  Last year, as a prospective student, I came and watched one of the oral arguments and I highly recommend you do the same! Having watched last year, I have a good sense of how it is ru...

March 3rd, 2010I have quite the day ahead of me today.  The day starts off with Core Concepts which today we are discussing Accounting and Financing, (definitely not one of the most exciting topics in the world).  After class I have a meeting with my fellow 1L board members.  I wanted all of us to get together and discuss what, if any, plans we want to make for the rest of the year.  My second class of the day will be Contrac...

February 28th, 2010This week has been amazing. I had zero stress! I could sleep as long as I wanted, wake up and do anything my heart desired! I was able to babysit a few times to make a little extra cash since I’m not able to work anymore.  I was able to get some productive things done that I usually don’t have the time to do.  I don’t have much to share about today and I think that is an amazing thing to for once not have anything goi...

February 17th, 2010I’ve been meaning to write an entry about all of those “books to read before law school”.  I remember when I went to my first open house for law school; I had asked which books were the best to read beforehand.  The response I got was “don’t bother, they aren’t really helpful… just spend your summer relaxing.” Well, of course me being the overambitious/anxious person that I am completely ignored what this person told...

February 15th, 2010I had a fantastic weekend! It was Valentine’s Day! I had a delicious dinner, went shopping, and saw the movie Wolfman, which by the way…I was not a fan- the movie wasn’t terrible but it was far from great. Now, I thought I’d share a play by play of my Monday: 6 am- rise and shine! 7-9 am- Property homework 9:20 am- Doctor’s appointment 10:45 am- early lunch 11:00-12 Contracts homework 12:45pm- Chiropractor appointment (a...
