HA!!
turns out i'm not as technologically challenged as i thought i was :-)
been doing some more research on blogs and found that i'm not the only one who has experienced visibility issues w/their blogs. apparently, "blogger" tends to lag in making them visible.
just thought i'd post this. need something to make me feel good cuz i sure can't rely on law school stroking my ego ;-)
p.s. i'm gonna switch over to wordpress. they have a cleaner more professional visual set up. also, i can purchase a domain name there. though i read i can do it on blogger too.

weird but....
....a few of my posts are searchable on google. i have NO idea how only those are and not the others. i've seriously given up trying to figure it out. though, admitting defeat comes so much easier now that i know a few are searchable.
next step: "designing" my page. HA!! right. see how long it took me to try and get this shit visible?? i'm not spending time trying to design this page.
on another note -
still on vaca and soooo friggin enjoying it. what have i been doing during my vaca??
going on plenty of interviews, bumming at the beach, bumming home being a couch potato watching millionaire matchmaker and law and order svu, been to the movies, visited some non law school friends, oh and most importantly -- completing my community service for this traffic ticket i got. thank goodness it's only 19 hours.
when being assigned the work, i asked if there was any type of office work in a court house and there was something open in the sheriff's office 20 miles from where i live. since i am jobless and am desperate for some sort of "legal" experience, i jumped at the opportunity and said "ok. no problem, can i have that?" of course i realize now it was totally dumb on my part as i'm not gaining any "legal" experience nor am i going to "network" to try and secure a position there. besides, what am i gonna say or put on my resume thats worth anything?
interviewer: oh, i see u have worked in a court house. what did u do there?
me: made the streamline of the filing system more efficient by sorting the files. i also stuffed envelopes, made copies, the experience at the courthouse was very rewarding.
interviewer: oh, i see. and how long have u held that position?
me: um...3 days.
interviewer: 3 days? can u be more specific?
me: um..yah! 19 fucking hours i had to do instead of paying a stupid $100+ cell phone ticket :/
interviewer: oh. ok. we just started interviewing and have about another 2 weeks of interviews. regardless of how we proceed, we'll call u and keep u posted.
i probably should have just stuck to doing something outdoors like pick up trash, could have worked on my tan while doing that.
well, regarding the "job", um..meaning the community service, the people in the office are nice. but it's kinda scary to see how easily things are misfiled. i'm not the only person they've had completing community service. as i was filing, i noticed quite a few files filed incorrectly AND worse yet there was a folder with the wrong name written on it! i helped correct the blunders i came across but i'm only there for "19 hours."
oh, in case anyone cares i have FOUR classes come this fall. yah. and that's "part time."
1 - real estate & acquisition (seems like administration is trying to get us disqualified w/this class. how easily they forget that about 90-95% of the class failed one of the exams b/c 2 of the 3 questions was all about real estate??)
2 - conflicts: (administration is so trying to get me disqualified. this class has a lot of "civ pro" and well, if u've been keeping up w/my blogs, i failed the friggin class)
3 - con law
4 - appellate advocacy: pretty much a writing class which is supposed to be "demanding." what else is new, right?
i am looking forward to all of my classes except the real estate class and it's only b/c i dont get it. i didnt get it when it was taught in property, i didnt get it when i spent countless hours trying to figure it out on my own, and i didnt get it when others tried explaining it to me. i just don't fucking get it.
now, i should probably clarify the "i dont get it" comment. i get the rules. i get what a deed of trust is, mortgage, judicial foreclosure, first position loan, etc....what the majority courts in x states favor and so on, u can ask me to state a rule & i can & i will understand what i'm spewing BUT when given a fact pattern with a bunch of issues and loans being disbursed and people defaulting, banks collecting, and other crap - i'm lost! i thought i got it but according to my grade on the exam - "i dont get it!!"

this shit is really time consuming
i've been online for about 4 hours just looking through other blogs, researching how to make my blog more searchable, i even signed up for a word press thing. i think its another way to blog. i think that may be easier to search, at least for a price.
well, i got caught up reading other blogs and it's amazing where these people come up w/the time to do this shit?? most blogs from lawyers and students werent written in as often but i stumbled on a couple of random people who just have a regular job and the volume of diff blogs they post is overwhelming.
so, 4 hours later, and i'm still home when i had planned to bum out at the beach today, i'm gonna call it quits for now. i am following other blogs and even made comments on a couple in hopes they'll check mine out and i'll get some traffic.
oh, and i am now even more convinced than ever before that i am fer sure technologically challenged.
btw -- i'm LOVING life right now. LUUUUV'ing it

amazing...
.....how after the final, its like a HUGE weight has lifted. pre exam i was almost in tears twice. post exam i couldnt wipe the grin off my face driving home.
what do i want to do during my vaca?? NADA! absolutely NADA.
just look for a job cuz i need to pay my bills, bum out at the beach and hit the movies for an all day treat. since i'm poor, i've got to fit in as many in a day as i can at the matinee price ;-)
though i was considered a "3rd year" at the start of summer, i somehow feel like it's more official now. i wanna say i passed all my summer classes but after 2nd year , i know better. i feel okay about these exams but then again i felt okay about civ pro....and if u read my previous blogs, well.....we know how that turned out.
gonna log off right now...all i'll be doing for the next 3 weeks aside from what i've mentioned is: NADA!

not fun...
today is not fun. i feel so sick to my stomach. this simple easy class is driving me insane. i even just threw up and all i ate were cookies and an apple. i just got nauseous. i want to smoke a joint but am afraid it'll mess w/my head since tomorrow is the final. i'm really gonna make myself sick.
i did so well in contracts and i get it but when i review for this class it's like an entire diff world. my friend/study partner told me today that the way i feel about this class is the way she felt about immigration law. i was stressed w/that exam but it was my normal usual stress. this stress is completely different. she said it was "scared." i guess. guess i'm scared that i'm not going to answer the questions correctly b/c i dont friggin get the man and his klingon speak. i just have to remember that during the exam, it's just black ink on a piece of paper which i have to respond what i know from the statute and not with what the professor grills me
anyway, dont know what to do. i want coffee, i want a rock star but i also just want to go to sleep and then just wake up when i wake up and review the stupid rules.
void title, voidable title, warranties, battle of the forms, SOF, interpretation, buyer's breaches, who bears the risk on deliveries, rights, remedies!
the sad thing is I GET IT!!! i learned 75% of this shit in contracts. i just need to relax. everyone says "oh thats just the UCC." i just need to erase all the classroom time i've had w/that professor from my memory. maybe then i'll be able to relax. classroom time was not cool. not cool at all.
well, after tomorrow i have 3 wks off so if i log on to post it'll be a different me. a happy carefree maybe even positive loving life me. we'll see. the way i feel it's like i'm gonna end up in the hospital w/a brain aneurysm.

6 hours later...
...and here i am ready to go at it again. i am so ill prepared for this exam it's just sad. usually the day before i already have half the shit memorized and am outlining questions. i'm still reviewing my overwhelming outline and synthesizing it so that i can begin to memorize the shit. i admit though that reviewing it and synthesizing it does is part of the process in understanding the concepts and sticking in ur brain but the day before the exam i almost always already have that DONE!!!
i have no excuse for this delay. i wasnt even working this summer. oh, that "full time" job i had well, after just 1 week they fired my ass. basically, they needed someone who can work more than 40 hours and i can't. every day for that week at 5:30 i was out the door while the other 3 girls who did the same thing were still there until about 6:30ish. i asked in the interview if there was overtime and how often and was told "never" "its very rare." right!! while i was working there i mentioned that to one of the girls (the one i liked the best) and she made the only shocking surprised face and didnt say a word in response.
