Back to the Real World

"The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget." - Thomas Szasz, The Second Sin (1973) "Personal Conduct"


My webpage went down for a few days. I wonder if anyone noticed. I finally got everything up and running again, so I can blog away my final semester. I have added pictures of my Christmas trip home. I've also updated my links so that you can get to each album from my webpage. When I got back from Texas, I went to visit my aunt and uncle for lunch. I got to see their new cats and their newly remodeled kitchen. I took them some tortillas from the valley.

Monday was my first day of work of my 180 hour internship. That sounds like a lot, but it is better than taking another class. I was used to sleeping in each day, so waking up early everyday is going to take some adjustment. The day went fine, but I don't know how I feel about MWF since there is always a gap that I'll be missing.

I'm not looking forward to starting school, mainly because of the assignments. I have all my books and now I need to find a way to sell off all my old law school books. I have too many books and am keeping them to protest the prices the bookstore offers, but they are becoming useless. Mainly I don't want to move them.

I don't know why I felt nervous for the first day of class, but maybe it has something to do with wanting everything to go right with my final semester. I don't know what to expect really. I just want to know if each class is going to be managable.

My first class was a Law and Econ seminar. I wanted to go early to get a good seat, instead I got there just a little bit early and got the seat next to the professor. I think I'm going to get called on more.

After my first class, I went to the YMCA to find out how much it cost. $2 a visit seems like a great deal. I have a gap between classes, so I got some gas, picked up some lunch then went home. I’m feeling sick today, so I took a nap when I got home to try and sleep it off a bit. I’m not sick enough to be sick, but enough to feel crappy. Not good timing, but I’ll take it over during finals or my Christmas break. Once I woke up I drove back to campus for class. I have Conflict of Laws, a small break and then Commercial Paper. The only difference for my Thursday classes is that I have an addition hour of class for my externship.

Last night I watched the National Championship for college football. I think somone could of made a lot of money betting exactly the opposite of who I thought was going to win. No sports betting for me. Speaking of betting, my poker is terrible, it is like I forgot to play. Maybe I was always bad. I need to keep this poker thing affordable, I don't want it to cost me money considering it is costing me time.

I also saw the movie Miami Vice for the first time. There were a lot of guns, but very little shooting...well until the end. I saw the director's cut, which was over 2 hours long. It was dark, but since I don't have much experience with the original I don't have much to say.

why am I in dc

  1. I know this is late, but I did notice it was down, your page that is. I forgot where it was that it kept sending me to. Anyways, congratulations! By the way, I have a question. When you have to take the bar, do you have to take it in the state you want to practice in, or just anywhere?

  2. I take the bar in late July. I'll be taking it in Texas. You have to take the bar in the state you intend to practice. So if I took the Texas bar, I couldn't practice in California. Now if I waited 5 years, then I could take an attorney's exam and then waive into California, but in Florida, I'd have to take the bar exam again.
