February 9th, 2010Well, I more or less survived the craziness that was my Monday. As a result of my trip to the dentist, I found out that I have a cavity (as a result of my mistaken understanding that chewing sugar-free gum was a harmless habit…), so I get to visit my friend the dentist again next Wednesday for a filling. Lucky me.   Today was an unusual day. We have ALTA conferences this week, where we each meet with our ALTA professors fo...

February 7th, 2010It’s Sunday night (Super Bowl Sunday…and I’m doing homework), and after some reflection of my day tomorrow, I’m already stressed out. My day starts with the dentist at 9am (and there are few things more unpleasant for me than a trip to the dentist) and then I will probably head to campus and find something to accomplish until my civpro class at noon. Then, from 2-3pm, I have the last of my computer research training and then cor...

September 23th, 2011Back in full swing (really never stopped)  Today concludes the 4th week of classes for me.  This semester I started the JD/MBA program and now spend my time between two campuses.  The nature of my life remains busy but I am enjoying every moment of my journey.  I'm enrolled in four (1 business & 3 law) classes this term.    This school year will prove to be my busiest, yet most rew...

February 6th, 2010Greetings from Panera!  It is a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and I am taking full advantage of it by sitting indoors with the blinds drawn (in order to reduce the glare on my computer screen). I’m hoping to spend a few minutes in the sunshine today (even though it’s about 30 some odd degrees out) because let’s face it, months without any sun just stinks. As pleased as I am with my choice to attend UDM Law, there are cer...

February 4h, 2010Already Thursday!  Yesterday was a pretty fun day of classes, especially core concepts where we were working on negotiations. Our hypothetical for the semester is that we are representing a large company that wants to buy a smaller plastic bag manufacturer. Today’s negotiations related to the fact that the plastic bag company was cited for several Occupational Safety and Health Association violations. As such, the company b...

May 13th, 2011Good to get my head above water, even for a spell.          Today I finished my third year of law school!  If I was a full-time student, I would be graduating today, but I have no regrets attending part-time.  I am happy to participate in the celebration of many of my fellow law students and friends come to the end of this law school journey.      &nbs...

February 1st, 2010Happy (?) Monday!  Last night’s reaction for most of the people in my ALTA section? “I can’t wait for the weekend!” Never a good sign on a Sunday night…  After finishing my brief yesterday, I was so tired that I had to really push myself to finish my reading for today. Needless to say, the laundry I planned to do, the work I wanted to get ahead on, the bookcase I wanted to build…it’s still sitting there, waiting.&nbs...

February 1st, 2010When people ask me whether I like law school, I generally reply “most days.” Today was not one of those days.  ALTA is one of those classes that you love to hate. It’s a pain in the you-know-what when you have assignments due and you have to spend your previously relaxing weekend time researching, organizing and writing for various assignments…but when it’s all said and done, you have so much to show for it that it al...
