Just Another Manic Monday

So I am really going to try to blog more. I think it will be a good way to vent and relieve stress. I do kinda fear though that it will scare people away from law school and that is not my intention. I knew going into this that it was going to be hell and it is hell and in some sick twisted way I love this hell. I know, it is strange but it is true. So if you really want to go to law school, take my stories as warnings to prepare you for the insanity, not scare you away from it.

Monday's in my life have been deemed Manic Mondays. Coming back to school after a weekend off, that I should have done more homework than I actually did, always result in a bit of self inflicted stress and anxiety. As I look at my reading load for the week and think about how I spent 12 hours watching TV saturday afternoon/evening instead of reading I tend to want to kick myself.

Today was just another Manic Monday. 4 hours of class straight through, same seat, non stop is pretty close to hell on earth. I had a minor panic attack when the lightning stuck (a professor randomly called on someone) way too close to me in property and I feared I was next but luckily i didn't get called on. Prof D, in property 2, has a strange 6th sense that can smell when someone hasn't read or isn't prepared. The fact that I hadn't read and was making bridal party plans instead of paying attention made me fear for the worst but i squeeked by free and clear.

Well I should be going... summer plans need to be made. Do i work for the us attorneys office? legal aid? a firm? big or small? where? when? how much? do i take no pay?? any ideas? all advice would be appreciated. i have interviewed with legal aid of W MO and the US attorneys office but don't know if i want or will get either of those non paying jobs. Otherwise there is a firm close to home that is hiring. Well when i say firm, i mean 2 attorneys and when i say hiring, i mean willing to let people work for free for them. There is a scholarship that i can get for doing it so maybe that is where I will lean... I dont know. Any ideas or guidance would be appreciated. If i dont figure it out soon I am going to run away to a summer abroad in Turkey.
