3L job search / Re: memoir on the resume« on: June 20, 2008, 12:09:22 AM »you know, it is the first thing that comes up when your name gets googled, so it is going to look worse for you when your employers find it anyway. So you're saying I should 'front' it. Mmm...perhaps. Rick’s Blog 32

General Board / Post-Bar, Pre-Work« on: May 26, 2008, 11:18:27 PM »
Do a lot of people go on vacation after the bar? Before work starts? Or is that sort of thing frowned upon...?

Studying and Exam Taking / Failing is the opposite of an awful disease« on: May 24, 2008, 05:14:00 PM »
Whenever somebody contracts some awful disease or undergoes some awful family tragedy and gets interviewed by the local news about it, they always say the same thing: “You see this in the news all the time, but you never think it can happen to you. And then one day it does…”
I think failing the bar exam is the opposite. Everybody thinks it will happen to them, but it only really happens to a select few. I realized that early on, that the math says I’ll likely pass the bar exam, so I haven‘t been too worried about it. Well, yesterday I found out that one of my friends took the bar exam six months ago…and failed it. Sure, she took it during the school year, so she probably didn’t have enough time to study. But still, she’s a smart girl and she failed. Took a prep class and everything. Now it’s starting to hit home. Some people really fail this thing. Tomorrow I’m going to figure out how to get my hands on review books. And then, beginning Monday, I’m going to start studying. I’m going to try to study all day, every day. Oh, and I’m going to work all day, every day to promote Lawyer Boy. -RickLax 37

General Board / sweaty graduation« on: May 24, 2008, 05:11:23 PM »
Graduation was rough. First of all, I was sick. Soar throat, runny nose, that sort of thing. Second of all, under my heavy robe, my hood, my cap, my wool suit, my dress shirt and tie, my undershirt, I was sweating like a pedophile. Third, I still had a paper due. In the middle of the semester, my prof said that I could turn it in whenever I wanted.
“You mean, I can turn it in after graduation?” “Sure you can. I know you’re good for it.” At the time it seemed like a blessing. During graduation, not so much. I know I would have easily got it done if he had set a due date. Can’t blame him, though. Only myself. -RickLax 39
Law School Applications / Re: Applying To 26 Law Schools?!« on: May 21, 2008, 02:58:14 PM »

Studying and Exam Taking / Re: in class exams v. take home exams« on: May 21, 2008, 02:56:57 PM »Word. Take home exams are lame. Much easier to distinguish yourself on an in-class exam. Are you implying that I shouldn't want gay people to buy my book? I definitely want gay people buying my book. So in that sense, yes, who cares. Uh...straight people too. All, really. |
