How much would I love to have a Candle Digital Clock?
What, you’ve never seen a Candle Digital Clock?
I mean, let’s talk about inefficiency. Right there. It almost makes me feel useful.
The coffee machine is out of commission. Someone pushed the button twice and too much water came out and shorted out the machine.
This is a serious situation, as I have never been around such crazy coffee drinkers in my life, and I’m in law school. I have to make decaf, because the adderall and the caffeine are not good friends, and everyone acts like I am the vegetarian at the steakhouse in Texas.
David (one of my attorneys) said that it will eventually dry out and the world will right itself and people’s heads will stop exploding. But until then, I think I am going to close my door and hid under my desk.

I basically spent the first two weeks of work on one project. Needless to say I have gotten rather attached to this one project, and I love being interrupted from the new projects to talk about the old project.
Because I don’t have to learn anything new for the old project, I just have to remember. New projects take a lot of hard thinking. I might actually know the answer to a question regarding the old project. And I like being able to add, it makes me feel useful.

I have been checking my grades compulsively. I got back three grades yesterday, and I have two more still out.
My sports law teacher emailed me today to tell me that he never received my paper. I thought I had emailed it to him on the 10 of May. Well, I sent him an email – but didn’t attach it correctly, and he responded to my email, and I assumed that meant he had received the paper. I almost had a heart attack at the tender age of 24 ½.
But I emailed the paper to him for real this afternoon, and the file hasn’t been modified since May 10th, and he emailed me back and told me that he would grade it today, so everything is okay.
The bottom line is that I only have one grade that could possibly show up on my georgia law this afternoon, but for some reason I can’t stop signing in and checking every 15 minutes (okay, okay, every five minutes).
The ridiculous part is that I haven’t even thought about my grades in around three weeks. But now I am making myself crazy. I have some obsessive tendencies.

Good morning everyone!!! I am in a fantastic mood, and I have great plans of being super productive and useful today. It is raining outside, but I got lots of sleep last night and am feeling well rested and refreshed.
I have a cup of hot coffee, and my office hasn’t gotten too cold yet, and my only complaint is an injury I sustained to my thumbnail which hurts.
Other than that, my bug bites are getting better, my hair is being cooperative (my best hair days are when it is raining, isn’t that weird?), I like what I have on, and I have a shiny new website.
But I must give a large thanks to my wonderful friend Pete for helping me move my site. And when I say helping, I mean, doing it for me. He is oh so very clever.
Okay, I’m off to be terribly intelligent and highly verbal.

I am sleepy. The rainy weather makes me tired
I had a great weekend, and I am sunburned and covered in bug bites (I’m just so sweet), but it was worth it. I think everyone had a good time, I had a blast. I love everyone who came a great deal, Gina, Jessica, Sarah, Jamie, Scott, and Christian. I got to see my adorable grandmother, and some other family members, which was really great. Gina and Jessica went to lunch with my grandmother with me, which was really sweet.
I have some thoughts about life, I’m just not sure I can articulate them right now.
I like my job a lot right now, I am starting to enjoy the thinking and stuff. I am learning to be more productive. I have accepted the fact that taking my adderall really helps me a lot and that I have to stop being the crazy person who won’t take their medicine because they think they don’t need it (even though they do). Like my grandfather would say, this is fixable, somethings aren’t.
I still need to go see star wars. I also need to take a benadryl and go to sleep so my bug bites will stop itching.

So I don’t know if y’all are as loved by google as I am, but my gmail has been exploding with new features recently.
The best new feature is the news bar that is right above my inbox. It tells me news headlines. And I get to pick the news sources it pulls from. AND it will also let me add blogs to the news bar. But it only does headlines, so with the blogs it just gives me the titles of the posts. And there are little arrows that late you scroll through the random headlines that it has pulled up. Each time you refresh the page there are new headlines.
Today I noticed that I had (1) spam message. As I was deleting this message I noticed that the news bar on the spam page differs from the news bar on the inbox page. The spam page pulls headlines exclusively from a spam recipe page. SPAM RECIPES!!!
Here we go for those of you not as love as me but who really wish they were:
SPAM Imperial Tortilla Sandwiches
SPAM Fajitas
SPAM Vegetable Strudel
SPAM Swiss Pie
Spicy SPAM Kabobs
Is that weird? I think it is hilarious.
I’ve been looking some more, and the trash folder has some great information as well, such as:
Empty tissue boxes can provide easy and handy storage for plastic grocery bags.
and
Rubber shoe soles can be recycled to make basketball courts and soccer fields.
and
Newspapers can be reused as wrapping paper for gifts.
and
There is no limit to the number of times an aluminum can can be recycled.
and
You can make a lovely hat out of previously-used aluminum foil. (a personal favorite)
and
Recycling a 3-foot-high stack of newspapers can save one whole tree.

I got to go to bankruptcy court today. Tomorrow I am going to probate court and the federal district court. Isn’t that fun?
I learned a lot about bankruptcy, or, a lot more than I knew before I went. I found it rather fascinating, in a, gosh I’m a nerd kind of way.
I got some feedback on the memo I wrote last week. Bottom line: I lack organizational skills and people really need to be specific with format if they want it to be at all structured.
Tonight we (and when I say we I mean all the women in the office, the other summer girls, the secretaries, the paralegals, etc.) are going to the office manager’s house which is up on a lake near here. I’m really excited, I love lakes in the foothills and I am pumped about being outside.
Katie (one of the other summer girls- she just finished her first year at mercer) and I went to run yesterday and it was so beautiful and so nice to be outside.
If only I can make my mouth listen to my mind and stop trying to be cute and making smart remarks when I should keep my mouth shut I think I will be fine. Sometimes my desire to be clever and funny takes over and overpowers the reasonable part of my mind that is in charge of keeping me out of trouble.

It has been a long day. If y’all will do me a favor and keep my friend Kim in your prayers, she is in the hospital.
Also, a 3L at UGA died over the weekend, so please keep his family in your prayers as well.
I am going to go take it out on the pavement with my new friend Katie and then go try to decompress at the Braves game (the Rome Braves that is).

If you are in college and want to go to law school, major in business. I know, I know, most people think you should major in political science or whatever, and having not majored in political science I guess I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but even so, I recommend majoring in business.
Majoring in business forced me to take classes that I didn’t enjoy much, and never would have taken if they weren’t requirements. And although I took these classes a long time ago, they still have an ENORMOUS impact on my understanding of every day problems in the legal world.
The legal world is laced with things like accounting, insurance, finance, real estate, and economics, and it has been invaluable in my limited experience to have an understanding of these issues.
I don’t think that the terry college of business necessarily taught me invaluable skills, but it at least introduced me to concepts and terms and ideas that are difficult to grasp, and it is nice to at least be vaguely familiar with a difficult concept when you run into it in the real world.
But then again, don’t listen to me, major in whatever makes you happy. You can learn those terms later.

the thin line between optimism and delusion...
