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!!"
