Terrible

I'm sorry sports fans. I actually forgot that I had this thing until I was sorting through my bookmarks today and found the link.

Well, I'm a 3L now and very, very ready to be done. More ready to be done with this than I've ever been ready to be done with something in my whole life. And typically I love school! Around the end of July I usually get all jazzed up because it's time to go back to school, but not this year. Oh, no. I dreaded the prospect. I was actually counting weeks at the beginning of the semester. I think the difference was that I worked full time this summer at a job that enjoyed and got paid decent, if not great, money to do it. Finding out that you're capable enough to fulfill a task and enjoy it are great motivators to not go back to school and study how to do the thing that you already know how to do. Really the third year of law school is a waste. We should do like they do in Turkey and apprentice out for a year instead. You learn the skills that you really need in practice and that way you'd be more likely to land a job when you were done because you'd've met people in the industry. Stupid American system.

I've been writing a paper comparing the roles of lawyers in the criminal justice systems of Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Thus the random Turkey comment. It's been pretty interesting if slow going. Turned in the rough draft yesterday. We'll see how I did.

Anyway that's about all the update that's worth updating in this public of a forum. Not exactly the kind of place that you want to go on about your dating prospects ya know? So we'll leave it at that and sign off for a while. Hopefully not another year, though.
