I just got emailed the agenda for admitted students day. I'm partly stoked and partly curious to see if there are any other 30-somethings starting this fall.

Ohh Toona, honey, no don't. :smith:

Yes, and most of them are very broken people.

Admittedly, so are all law students

Judge Hyde is amazing. He will straight up offer accused persons that he will meet them out back of the courthouse if they challenge him to fisticuffs.

I'm so jealous of all the judges/clerks that get Casimir Pulaski day off, the jerks.

On the bright side, I just started reviewing title on a property and saw a 70B maritime lien, with the 'name of vessel' box showing the name of the homeowner. I can't stop snickering.

I have today off for Texas independence day. However, I'm at work, because I get the hours I work today "back" as vacation.

I'm taking my "vacation" on Wednesday to visit 4 different kinds of doctors, because my health insurance finally kicked in at the new job.

I'm taking this week off solely for the reason that I have leave to burn.

I'm not taking today off, but I spent the whole day working on blocking notes for a play I'm directing and not writing briefs.

Drank bourbon last night for the first time in years. Also recovering from a sinus infection (med lurkers: when does it go from allergies to cold?).

The burn on my throat was so good, but now I'm croaking like a :frogc00l:

Nah that's recklessly harming your loved ones and everyone else around you.

Lawyers don't have people around them to harm.

Any other prospective law students here? Look like the LSAT scores will be released on the deadline this time. I am hoping for a really good score, otherwise I am headed for the dual JD/Masters of Philosophy program at a good regional school.

8/10 if that was a troll post. Would have given you a 10, but philosophy was a too obvious troll.

Scotch is a tasty and viable alternative, but Bourbon is where it's at.

18 year old scotch is fantastic. Not 18 year old scotch is filth. On the other hand, all types of bourbon have their charms.
