The Law School Transplant

…exchange them for a great Pennsylvania craft brew!
In trying to look on the bright side of being 2+ hours away from AB, my friends and family for a year in a city that is hotter than hell and slower than molasses, I needed to look no further than across the bridge into a neighboring state, [...]

I am so smart, I amaze myself sometimes.  I moved to what is quite possibly the hottest city in the state during the hottest part of the summer in the biggest heatwave in recent history.  With smarts like that, there’s no way I failed the bar.
The temperature reportedly topped out at 106 degrees today.  Though [...]

So, spring has arrived here in the Deep South and with it comes a renewed sense of apathy and absolute lack of motivation, which explains both my lack of blog posts recently as well as my inability to bring myself to do anything school-related other than the bare minimum.

My dear friend Kim finally had her baby the other day. A couple hours after she got home from the doctor with orders to get ready to go to the hospital for an induction, she went into labor. Clearly, this kid wants things her way or no way. She must take after me.

Well, y’all, I have some news… I got a job! A real, honest-to-goodness, nine-to-five, no naps in the middle of the day, JOB!
Today I accepted a one-year clerkship with Judge R. in a relatively decent-sized city down by the coast. I had actually previously received another offer from a judicial circuit in the [...]

Instead of learning UCC Article 9, I’ve been busy setting up shop over at Etsy this evening:

Check out my little Etsy shop. If you want to order Christmas presents, payment has to be received AND clear by December 15th in order to ship by the USPS holiday shipping deadlines.
C’mon, you know you want to.

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!
In the spirit of the holiday, here is a non-exhaustive list of things I am thankful for:

My family, even though some of them drive me batshit crazy
The Beef
The Boston Terrorists
My friends, even though most of them think I have died
Not having to join the real world yet
Afternoon naps (with the Terrorists, of course)
$1 [...]

The freak magnetism continues. I made a quick trip to the grocery store to get a couple of last minute things for Thanksgiving. On my way down an aisle, a guy, probably in his late 30’s or 40’s, starts talking to me.
Freaky Guy: Hey, I think I recognize you from somewhere. [...]
