So I Lied . . .

Okay, I didn't truly lie. Not in the sense of violating the Professional Rules of Conduct -- ABA Model Rule 8.4(c) violation.* Anyways, what I lied about is that I failed to write in this blog all semester, most likely losing all readers of this blog, and I never posted any pictures from the fun girls' night.

* Sorry, yes I am a nerd. But to my credit, I am studying for Professional Responsibility and need to know the various ethical rule. In case you are curious --- though you probably are not --- Rule 8.4(c) states that "[i]t is professional misconduct for a lawyer to . . . (c) engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation . . . ." I am probably even a bigger nerd for including footnotes in a blog. Whatever.

Well, let's just say that this semester has lived up to the proverbial "as a second year they work you to death." The first year of law school, they scare you to death. Check -- that happened. This year, so far, I have had so many long nights, tons of work trying to balance, and as a result I seriously may have gray hair by the end of next spring. I am just hoping that come next year, it lives up to the "third year, they bore you to death." Seriously, I can handle boredom . . . lots of it.

My last classes of the semester will be Monday, then the study period, and finally my dreaded finals begin Monday, December 13. Uggh. I do have to say this semester has gone by unbelievably fast. Maybe I will post a recap of the semester over break . . . don't hold your breath though, my break looks like it will be as busy as the semester was.

Here is the line up for the next foreseeable weeks:
- Week of December 6 = studying for finals
- Week of December 13 = finals (definitely not looking forward to)
- Week of December 20 = last minute Christmas shopping (which I have a lot left to do)
- Week of December 27 = FLORIDA!!! (hopefully this year it will be actually warm while we are there)
- Week of January 3 = working on my note for the Journal (ick!)
- Week of January 10 = the plan is to be in St. Louis / Kansas City
- Week of January 17 = classes for spring semester begin

Yeah, I am a little over-scheduled. Oh well. At least I have four full weeks of no classes. Thank goodness.

Who knows, maybe I will be more tempted to blog as a distraction from studying (pretty much the reason for blogging now). But if I once again am "lying" well then, I hope all my dear few readers (or more likely extremely bored readers that actually check a blog that has not been written in since the end of September) have a wonderful Christmas and New Years!

Ciao!
