This past Monday, Spenser was put to sleep due to problems too numerous to mention. To sum it up, he was in a lot of pain and wasn't going to make it much longer. He was only 7 ( Read more... )

I have one semester left of this law school torture- excellent. Then immediately after graduation I have to start preparing for the bar exam- ouch. At least I'll be at the Purdue/Maryland Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando!!!

Time for the 3L year- also known as the last year of school I will EVER have to take. Of course after this comes bar exam preparation, then the bar exam, then the start of a hopefully wonderful career. However, between now and then, I will do my best to enjoy my last year on a Big Ten campus (4 at Purdue, 3 at Michigan State ( Read more... )

I remember saying way back in early January that I was looking forward to no craziness in 2006. So much for that! This summer alone has been one of incredible upheaval.

Well finals are over which means I'm home and get to once again do everything possible to distract myself from the inevitable posting of grades. Yay!!!! I also turned 25 a couple days ago. Damn....I remember when I was 13 and the stupid things I did back then. Ah the good old days ( Read more... )

Well I'm in the midst of finals, having started them last Thursday. Of course, I'm feeling the burnout that comes long with this time of year AGAIN. May 8th I head home, and I'm definitely looking forward to it ( Read more... )

Ok, so I was talking to Jenny at ND (looking forward to seeing her over the summer) about how I miss the undergrad days, and it got me thinking- what do undergrad and law school have in common? What is different about them? Of course, having attended two Big Ten schools (Purdue and Michigan State) I can make a somewhat accurate comparison since ( Read more... )
