Oh you fancy, huh?

Hair done, nails done, everything did.

I got my hair done this morning. I hate managing my hair and I pay a gratuitous amount to get it “done done” every three-four month. I get to feel like a diva for a few weeks before I’m back to boring old me. I also got a no chip manicure and a pedicure because I walked past a place that had a special for $45. I probably shouldn’t have spent the money, but I deserved a relaxing treat and it’s not like I do it all the time. The guy did a really good job and the place is much nicer/cheaper than the place I usually go so I think I will go there from now on.

I also got new glasses this week. I bought a groupon to this eyewear place in the mall near me and figured it’d be a good deal. I guess it was…I paid $200 including the groupon for a pair of $450 glasses. The place is super hip and trendy so they’re not boring and I like the glasses a lot. I look really cool.

Oh oh oh! I also got my legal writing grade. It was an A- which I’m fine with because I didn’t work hard enough to get an A. Legal Writing is just too easy. I goof around and do everything last minute and still end up doing well. When something comes that easily/doesn’t challenge me I have a hard time putting in tremendous effort and I’ve ALWAYS been this way. I need a challenge! I should not be able to get an A- in legal writing without even trying!

I am having way too much fun with this bluebook citation exam for my journal write-on. I think this means I will have a decent chance of making it because I know for a fact people have a really hard time with citations but they make a lot of sense to me because it’s just applying rules.

Go me!

I forgot to mention that I moved into my new room for the summer. This time I have two roommates who will actually be around, but I think both of them are fairly quiet AND neither of them are going to be screaming at their parents in Chinese on Skype. This apartment has A LOT less cabinet space. Like a third of what I had in my other one and so there is not really any space to store things, especially with three girls living here. It’s something we all have to get over. We’re only here for about three months so that means buy less food and share things like pots and pans..etc. My room is a lot bigger though! I don’t really need the space but I guess it’s nice.

Grades

First grade is up and it’s a B in Crim Law. This is better than anything I got last semester so I guess I’m okay with it? The only other grades that I predict will be this high are Health Law and Legal Writing, but Contracts and Con Law are another animal for me to wrestle with.

Funny how when I don’t really have anything to do I don’t feel the need to post on tumblr. That will all come to an end though. I start my summer class tonight at 6 PM. It’s going to be a long night with three hours of Evidence. Fortunately the professor is supposed to be really good so maybe I will end up enjoying it. 

I start work next Tuesday. Not sure I am entirely looking forward to it because it will be a lot of time, but I hope that I will gain some valuable experience and maybe get my foot in the door for a job in the office sometime down the line later. Meh.

Nothing exciting going on here. I bought a sports bra from lululemon. Maybe I will start working out because I tried on things in Urban Outfitters and I just felt like a fatty.

My law clerk gig is so official!

I’m working in one of the main government offices of the city. I have my own desk with a computer and a phone AND  a pencil cup AND AND AND it has my NAME on it. How official! I have a special ID to bypass security like a BOSS. I have an official state government email like I’m actually an important person! My supervisor even added me on LinkedIn as a COLLEAGUE! What the hell is that? Am I am an adult?? Am I a REAL employee or something?

Orientation was okay. It consisted primarily of boring quizzes on ethics and sexual harassment.  T’was boring. I’m kind of excited about my department because the cases we’re working on seem interesting and I have my own desk. I told my supervisor I would start Tuesday, but I actually have a lot going on next week with starting classes and switching rooms in this stupid dorm and getting my hair done that I’m going to push it back a week. I’m working for free. For ten weeks. 16 hours minimum a week. For FREE. She will just have to deal.

Everything is frustrating me. My brothers didn’t get my mom anything for Mother’s Day. They are both older than me and have jobs. One of them is almost 30 and still lives at home so he barely pays anything. There is no excuse. I hate that I am the youngest and I am always the one that has to do things. I’m also over 700 miles away. Stupid brothers.

I think I’m dropping my legal research class for the summer. I am SO tired and just not interested in taking it (plus not taking it means an extra $1300 in my bank account). My job at the Attorney General’s office requires a minimum of 16 hours per week for ten weeks. I am going to ask them when I go to orientation on Tuesday if I can just start in June and go through until the beginning of the semester because I just need some semblance of a break and I JUST finished finals on Friday. Evidence starts on the 21st and is 3 hours, two days a week. I just need more of a break. I have been so worn down this semester and finishing finals took the last bit of steam out of me. I was basically in bed all day yesterday and I am still tired, but I need to get up and shower and go to Target and do my laundry.

Oh, and apparently I am supposed to wear professional attire every day in the office. She said it’s “up to us” but most people either wear a full suit everyday (HELL NO!) or business attire minus the jacket. I don’t have a ton of business stuff which means I will have to buy some. I have about two black skirts and a khaki skirt, so I think I’ll just get another skirt or two in other colors (like navy or grey) and some blouses and possibly a jacket. There goes about ~$200+ down the drain. Sigh. I also need some plain black leather flats because I refuse to wear my heels every day.
