Steve How Is Law School

Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 10:39 pm

I forget if I've said this before but I've been thinking lately that maybe I would want to go to law school? After I finish my Bachelor's of course.

Is this a crazy or bad thought? Any tips or tricks?

Also what are other people's thoughts on law school.

Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 10:44 pm

Very generally, I'd say law school is hard, but rewarding if you take it seriously. I have strong opinions about deciding whether to go or not, but not anything I'd want to discuss in public.

Feel free to email me, Miles! I'm happy to chat and give you my two cents.

Steve how is UPenn.

I am interviewing for a job there next week. If you weren't a native english speaker and you were thinking of going to UPenn I guess I could be working in the office that would try to convince you to go to that college.

Man, the baber, I keep forgetting you live here. We should seriously grab a beer sometime before I leave, never to return.

For realz.

Also, to answer your question, I don't know much about the University passed the law school and the fact that the undergrads seem annoying but that might be because I am old.

The law school is very nice.

steevie freezie

all the kids at my school walk across the river on the weekends to lie in the grass at UPenn and watch the track team run by and pretend that it is really their campus

steevie freezie I have never been is it really as beautiful as everyone says?

is the grass really that green and are the track kids really that luscious is I guess what I'm asking.

as this is america's premier beer drinking city I can only approve.

i am sure undergrads would be equally annoying to an administrative assistant b. which is i guess what i would be.

What is your bachelor's in?

Obamania is sweeping the nation, btw !

If you are asking me, my degree will be in English.

I should have guessed

i'm not sure of steve's opinion but i would say that, for an ivy league, the grass around UPenn isn't that idyllic. you'd do better to hop on a train to villanova or princeton. or any of the many wonderful squares and parks in beautiful center city philadelphia.

the city for which both obama and clinton are currently fighting. obamania is sweeping the nation but when the phone rings at 3 AM in pennsylvania apparently he is not the one to answer it.

Sometimes Obama does kind of a slow sweep where the broom hits a snag but he is deliberate and he's going to get that dust into the bin and this is represented by polls that show him closing the gap and even ahead of Clinton in one poll and that poll represents like he yanked off of the snag and the thing he was snagged on went flying and landed in the bin.

the obamidal wave will hit the eastern sea board soon i imagine.

Guys, Obama was the first president of Harvard Law Reviews which writes about which record or movie is the best, legally.

Hillary Clinton was the first president of nothing, and that will always be true.

On my walk to school I pass usually two or three "HOPE" posters filling up one glass wall of the bus stops

there's the one where Obama is dignified and looking into the distance in trendy clean web 2.0 colors

and then the one with "HOPE" written in some scratchy graffiti font and Obama's looking right at you being edgy

I have seen exactly zero Clinton posters where she's looking trendy or edgy or anything at all

the 'hillary' posters where she stares, disappointed, into the middle distance
caption reading "I was up til 3 AM and you never called."
not very effective

baber an administrative assistant?

you're making us with a soon-to-be video production degree look bad

Posted: Fri Apr 04, 2008 10:33 am

but apparently this is like the best time to be going into the industry because there are so many movies being made so that's good news for me

Posted: Fri Apr 04, 2008 10:35 am

i'll be the president

and you can be my administrative assistant

Guys, I have these crises every now and then, and I don't know what to make of them.

My university is in no way challenging, and I end up feeling that I know so much more than any of my professors, which might make them look bad, as you know how much of a scholar I am, and yet it moves.
However, I am pretty sure I wouldn't survive in a very demanding environment, much less in a very demanding carreer.

And when I take any of the books they have us read with fancy colleges, bright futures and challenges of kinds, still, this could-be nostalgia or "regret", as you kids call it nowadays, is steadfast in striking my moral.

Ah, well.

and just so we're clear
my degrees were in English and Communication with an emphasis in Film and Digital Video.

But if I got this job as an admin asst I would be working with at least one other admin asst who is a doctoral candidate.

look into mine visage and behold the true fate of the liberal arts student

Miles, what were you thinking about doing with your degree if not law school.

I'm a first year English student and law school was the plan, but lately I've been thinking I might enjoy continuing English beyond undergrad too.
