I maintain that had I been raised in even a SLIGHTLY less hippie church with SLIGHTLY less hippie priests, I would not be going to church these days. But I think I was hugely lucky in that regard. How can I not approve of ( Read more... )

Now that November is over, and NaNo with it, I occasionally have time to check LJ again! Between facebook, write-ins, and the last few pages of entries I read just tonight, it seems that everyone's trucking along much the same as they were before I lost my free time. Well, I have regained free time (not tons of it, but a bit) but lost my voice - ( Read more... )

Well, maybe not quite "live" - I wrote it up at work and then emailed it to myself. But "real" is the material point ( Read more... )

Two weeks - well, I suppose now it's two weeks minus a day - until I enter the workforce! It's hard to believe, but soon I shall be working ten hour days (nine, really - I HOPE they meant ten including lunch) at a federal district courthouse. I keep wondering if they've hired the wrong person for the job - don't they know I have no idea what I'll ( Read more... )

Cos that's the way I do!

I don't even know where to start - I feel like I have three entries to post, but no one needs that on their f-list page. So I'll post the best one of them all, Cruise Round-Up.

Weeks and weeks of study culminated yesterday and Tuesday in that grueling gamut that is the NY bar exam. And now it's over, hooray! I have no idea how I scored, but I'm confident that I did as well as 80-something percent of ABA graduates, which is the percentage of people who pass the bar. So good enough, I hope! I suppose it's a small mercy that ( Read more... )

So I fail at actual updating because at the end of each round of studying, I can't stand the thought of staring at my screen and typing much more. I also fail at writing for the same reason, but I WILL be more conscientious about both of these once the bar is over and my brain has recovered. Which is like two weeks. Oh dear. And you're not missing ( Read more... )

An actual entry?? BAH! I'm outlining and writing papers and trying not to look at the Box O' Bar Study Books on my living room floor. I think I'll be writing enough over the summer - did I mention that I want to get my substantive paper published?? And write a short time travel story for an anthology submission??

So, warm times in the city! I was on the subway headed home today, and at Canal St., we were informed that the train was being held because of a FIRE somewhere. So I decided to walk home, across the Manhattan Bridge and another couple of miles from there. It was really nice - warm but not miserably hot, sunny, and breezy. I was carrying a loaded ( Read more... )
