that's the one good thing about the midwest.

i used to stay in a 3 bedroom townhouse with garage, washer/dryer, driveway, backyard, 3 stories, all for $750 a month. period.

I can't in my right mind pay more than a G for rent. Its just not in my programming.

from the midwest originally?

blk reign - that's wsup.  I feel that.  keep your options open.  to be honest with you, i only want to practice, at most, for 5 years year out of law school. (patents) Probably not even that.  i'm looking to do real estate development. I have an architctural engineering background.  But now that my partner in crime ladyday has made her list I have my own list for you:

#1. did you take barbri for the Bar and was it necessary?
#2. how is the hiring going out there for firms in this Bush era economy?
#3. is their any truth in the hype about regional schools vs. "top 14 schools" and getting a job anywhere you want?
#4. which is worse, a B in a substantive class or a B in LRW?


I didn't take any barbri courses and I did fine with the bar. Sometimes independent study is better than shelling out $$$. I firmly believe there's a hiring freeze depending on where you're located. B in LRW is worse IMO.  The Hype is just what it is...

I spent my 1L summer recouping from undergrad, my second yr of grad school and my first yr of law school. Basically I sat in my apt the entire summer trying to figure out why I chose social suicide LOL. My 2L I worked for Holland and Knight.

I had a job offer- turned it down because of a death in my fam. Timing is everything.

It would probably be easier for you to find a job on the east coast as opposed to the West. DC is a bit more flexible with 1L's.

Burning Sands: Real Estate Development huh? Interesting. I've been thinking about Real Estate as well and Will and Trusts as of late.

Ladyday:I'm doing well. Dealing with some insomnia lol. What's your specification? Thanks for the compliment- it was a long hard road but I am just grateful that it is over. :)

Regal_Muse: I passed the Illinois bar (where I'm from originally). Overall the experience went pretty well for me.Though I must admit that I hated Tort law courses. I entered a dual MA/JD program so my social interaction was very limited.

Burning Sands: I interned at Holland & Knight my second yr. The experience was a beast.
