I’m reading a review of Conan O’Brien’s performance on the Emmy’s last night, and boy do I miss watching him. My favorite gag copied from MSN:
In an effort to keep the Emmycast moving along, Conan introduced “beloved TV icon Bob Newhart,” who, locked in an airtight capsule with exactly three hours of air, was […]

“South Carolina: too small to be it’s own country, too large to be it’s own mental institution.”
Unrelated to quotes mocking the South (of which I’m sure there will be many more), I went to the DC United v LA Galaxy game last night with some other new students. T’was a good time. Some observations:

RFK is […]

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”
It’s 4:00 on a Friday afternoon and I’m in the library… it is like college all over again. Thing is, I don’t expect to get out of here for another three hours. So really, it’s like my 3rd year of college all over again, but more consistently for the […]

This cultural diversity in the classroom course I am taking right now is a blast. Not for the content, but for the people I get to meet. Since the only real point to the class is to understand that the kids in your class may have a different culture than you and you […]

There is a lot of reading. I mean, obviously, it’s law school, Duh. But no really, there is a lot of reading. I’m not behind yet, but there seems to be too much to read in a single day for the next day’s classes… and then there is more reading for the following day. It […]

Were you to presume my first post would be about Boston or the school I now go to or how my cross country trip went (no speeding tickets despite an average speed of 85 mph - take that, Changston!), you’d be, as the saying goes, making a pres out of u and me. Or […]

Sage words given to me individually or as a group during orientation: “Remember, when culling from the herd of doctors, take only what you need. We only sue those that stumble or fall.”“There are three schools of thought regarding relationships in law school. One, you come in with a long term relationship and it will […]

This is like high school, but more expensive. We have lockers, everyone is oddly shy getting to know new people, there is already that girl who seems too cute and too cool, there are still a number of kids around without real direction yet, I’m finding out that things I thought were fact were in […]

Over the weekend I took the CBEST, which is the General skills test one needs to pass in order to become a credentialed teacher in California. Wow. Insultingly easy. It was later that day that I realized that I have either officially taken or done practice exams for a whole bunch of […]
