I’ve decided to keep my personal thoughts on another blog. My random musings will be over here. For whatever reason the RSS is not yet working – but I’m on it.

Tuesday Institutions (or – that Barbie looks cute with short hair)
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 1L summer, child advocacy, Law School on June 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This afternoon I played Barbies with my supervisor and her client (age 6). We had a great time – Lil’ Miss had cut the locks of four of her Barbies, giving them each the cute layered shaggy look. Some cheer leading also went on.
My supervisor and I were discussing the phenomenon of institutions [...]
The Ghost of Attorney-Future
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged career, Law School, mantra on May 10, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I met the Ghost of Attorney-Future last night on the Metro. She asked me what time the Metro stopped running so she’d know how long she had to get lost trying to find Metro Center from Union Station. I assured her she’d be fine, and with 15 minutes until the next Shady Grove [...]
Distraction is not connection: relationships and law school
Posted in Law School, Uncategorized, tagged happiness, Law School, lawschool, relationships, stress on May 6, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Law school has a pretty bad reputation for breaking up relationships and alienating friends. Always one to believe “it can’t happen to me,” I figured I could just handle it. I mean, I handled Teach for America. Law school can’t possibly be as stressful.
I was naive. I forgot that there is more [...]
Finals observation

Teach for America worst case scenario: 10 year old 3rd grader will never graduate from high school and have pretty much no life prospects unless you can overcome his behavior disorder and teach him to read (starting from a Kindergarten level) this year.
Law School worst case scenario: getting a C. At Georgetown. Maybe [...]
Brainwashing myself – finding a law school mantra
Posted in Law School, career, tagged career, lawschool, mantra on April 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I’ve always wanted to consider myself adventurous and courageous. But unlike intelligence, which I have no doubt I fully possess, the jury is still out on adventure and courage. The barrier to these qualities, I know, is all in my head (like most things), and throughout life I’ve tried to break the barrier [...]
#44 Complete strangers do not generally walk up to me on the street and tell me to “smile.”

From the Male Privilege Checklist:
#44 Complete strangers do not generally walk up to me on the street and tell me to “smile.”
I read this last night, and it happened to me this morning (as it has many times in the past.) I used to think I was being uptight when I was bothered by [...]
The masochism bone is connected to the…

I’ve always been entirely incapable of following through with activities, and even commitments, that I don’t enjoy and don’t feel intrinsically compelled to complete. In college I quit a job after being trained because I just couldn’t bring myself to work there despite feeling guilty about being paid for training hours. I struggled with On [...]
Founding Myth: I can document my experiences without sounding ridiculous.

So here goes my experiment in keeping an online journal. I’ve been a grand failure at keeping a regular journal, mostly because my hand starts to hurt and I try to explain too much back history- resulting in bordem and time wasting. With that said, here are some goals for this blog:1. Not to sound [...]
