Whining

Random thought while reading 9 REasons Not to Attend Law School”: Lawyers who regret and complain about choosing to become lawyers are a little like addicts complaining about taking their first drink, hit, whatever. Shut up and deal, people.

And yes, I’m talking to myself here.

BTW: I’m still trying to figure out what to do with this blog. Patly because it’s so dormant, I sometimes feel official retirement is the way to go. And then I think, no, it just needs to be changed up. And then I think: Quit distracting yourself from studying for the bar, you idiot!

    hey -

    I am SOOO happy to be back in law school it is ridiculous. I don’t know if I’ll be a lawyer when I graduate (probably I will), but this time, I am going to stick to my guns and MAKE IT! :-)

    And ditto about the complainers. They’re the crackheads of the legal profession.

    I’d miss your blog, or at least your blogging voice. IME there is some value in post-law school starting a new one to complement your new state as clued-in professional rather than confused student. It can even help you believe that the first part is true ;-)

    As someone who very much wants to know more about what the transition from student to worker bee is like, in order to gain a more informed opinion about the end result, I wish the opposite. I wish (like with my eyes shut tight and my heels clicking together one-two-three) that people would just continue their blogs straight on through. I want to see the cocoon open, I want to see the wings unfurl, to see how hard the winds blow when the new lawyer starts off into the ether of legal practice.

    Wish number two: that the kathy with a “K” who does not have a link I can follow, would tell me how to contact her so I can learn more abut this intriguing notion of being ridiculously happy to be “back in law school”. What’s this? You left? What makes you glad to be back?

It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school.

  • Philadelphia is no longer civilized:

    We deeply regret to inform you that without the necessary budgetary legislation by the State Legislature in Harrisburg, the City of Philadelphia will not have the funds to operate our neighborhood branch libraries, regional libraries, or the Parkway Central Library after October 2, 2009. @ This is not just sad, it's a travesty. How have we come to the point where a major American city is closing all of its public libraries!?
