WOAH!  Second class of the new semester.

Under the gun for Tax and Wills already.  Odd- am I predetermined to enjoy Tax?  Is it in my blood?  Am I really going to end up on this route?

Where are my glasses?  I only need them for reading and the computer.  That’s like all the time now.  I have an eyeball twitch.  I need to buy insurance, a parking pass and maybe, hopefully not, but probably new reading glasses.  Sadness! The old glasses were so perfect!

Law school is freaking expensive and I’m spending money that I don’t have.  I purchased a plane ticket home to hit up my high school reunion at the end of October.  Mediumly expensive.  I got a cheaper ticket than I could have.  I purchased 3 books, traded a book, and got a second-hander.   Better than first year but I still need a few books.  I have to carry around the Evidence Code and the Tax Supplement.  Odd- I think I’m kind of excited about it – in a different way, a more knowing way.  It feels good.  Good mock interview today.  With a company that was totally different than any other I had interviewed with before.  Good conversation, good rapport.  And I got a call for an interview at a very interesting company in the city!  It’ll definitely make the semester more challenging, but, it could be hugely worth it.

It’s kinda nice to be back.  ELS, PTSA, a moot court? international? in NY?  We’re taught that if we work hard we reap the rewards.  It takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert.  Even though it’s supposedly getting harder out there right now, today at least, I feel that if I can get on the right path (with a little bit of organization, I’m told) we can all get on the right path.
