I am on the spring break and I do not care about anything

I have finished my appealate brief. Three nights without sleep (well at least 3-5 hours and for me it is not enough). The last night before a due date we spent about 10 hours proof reading, editing, formating. Finally my partner and I with tired voice said, "that's it. DONE!" and with happiness hit Print button. Yes, it was done, but not exactly. Because we finished at 11 pm, all Kinkos around were closed. Actually one was opened, but I did not know about it. So next morning I was running out the house in rush, because I woke up too late and I had an hour to get to Kinko, wait them printing and binding, then drive to the school. Bless God I made it. That Friday, I came home and went to sleep for four hours. Then we went to a bar, and then I had a sleep for another 10 hours. Yes... and now I have a spring break.

Honestly, I do nothing. I am on Internet, I am reading blogs, I am writing blogs (not here), I watch TV. I have some excuse, today I have finished online quizes to pass Lexis certification. At least I am over with this. Now I have to work on cover letter for internship and I have no wish. Maybe I should relax this summer? Take a summer class and go see my parents? I consider this plan. Forget about stress of a law school and go to relax and spend fun time with my friends. I wish I could do this right now :-)))

Guess what I am doing this Monday evening?

I am writing appealate brief yeyeyeyeyey... My trial brief did not go so bad, at least professor said I have a good research and I need to paraphrase a lot of stuff. This is funny how I missed a lot of things and arguments. Interestingly, I had touched on them in trial brief, but worded as I was defendant (but actually I am plaintiff). I had a lot citation problems. I hope I will resolve this in appealate brief.

Ok, I am off to go.

I always told that people are ugly creatures - see the article

I am outraged. Yes, I am a dog lover and I hate this freak who did this:

A Costa Rican artist found himself in hot water with the animal protection people in his home country after using a starving, sick street dog as part of an exposition in Managua, Nicaragua, in August. Guillermo “Habacuc” Vargas allegedly found the dog tied up on a street corner in a poor Nicaragua barrio and brought it to the showing.

He tied the dog, according to furious animal lovers, in a corner of the salon where it died after a day. Habacuc’s exhibition included a legend spelled out in dog food reading “You are what you read,” photos and an incense burner that burned an ounce of marijauna and 175 “rock’ of crack cocaine. In the background, according to reports, the Sandista national anthem played backwards.

According to the artist, his “art” was a tribute to Natividad Canda, a Nicaraguan burglar killed in Costa Rica by two rottweilers guarding property he had entered at night. The incident caused friction between the two countries. Habacuc told the daily La Nacion, “I won’t say the dog died. The importance to me is the hypocracy of the people where an animal is the focus of attention where people come to see art but not when it’s in the street starving to death.”

“The same thing happened with poor Natividad Canda. The people sympathized with him only after he was dead,” the artist added.

The artist apparently is unaware that at least three large, active organizations are dedicated in Costa Rica to the protection of animals and that several persons have been prosecuted for cruelty to animals. They are hampered in their efforts by the old Hispanic customs of disregard for animal welfare and by a lack of funding.

And he did this because some idiot, actually even worse because he was a burglar, got illegally at night to somebody's property!!!??? "the hypocracy of the people where an animal is the focus of attention" ????? People are cause of many evils that happen to them! I have not pite to criminals who are punished for their bad deeds. But what this little dog did to you, freak?

But even worse, people watched this and did nothing?

Another thought for today

Actually, I should not be so mad, because just this morning I was thinking that I am not qualified for the job with a large firm. I was not sure whether I will feel ok if I have a big money from them and do a lot of things badly. Whatever! On one of my profiles I said that everything what happens with me is for the best. Just yesterday I talked with one guy online (Yahoo messenger) about this phrase, and funny thing I tired to persuade him that this statement reflects the reality. Now, by writing previous post I rejected my idea (almost rejected). So now I have to think positively and think about benefits I will get from not having an internship.

1. I can take classes and it will be easier then during the year.

2. I can visit my parents, and go to Turkey

3. Perhaps I will find internship with judge or another firm, and even though I will not get as much money, but I will get a good experience.

4. I just will have fun time.

Damn it, I cannot believe that I have found so many good reasons not to be upset.

:-))))

Bad news I have got and now upset

So those f***** interviews did not work out for me. They just did not like me. I am upset, and maybe mostly not because they did not chose me, but because I have spent tremendous amount of time with a huge hopes I will get it. As a result I did not. Now I have to begin my process again and look for something different. I want to apply for judicial internship. I think I am interested in them more. Moreover, it is for free, and I hope judges will like it more.

I am sorry for bad words BUT I am f***** mad.

Referals

Ok, my blog continues to be among the first in the ranking of motivation for a law school and exams, hatred and tiredness to law school and studying too. LOL

An interview with a law student

I liked it.

Politics

I am not much into politics, but those recent events are just hillarious. Governor and prostitutes! Isn't it sweet? Just today I have watched NBC... by the way shame on them to bring those girls (prostitutes or, as they call themselves, escort) for the interview. What was the point of that? To show that empty minded women who hardly can do some logic in their phrases but who earn more than any other intelligent woman? I am not saying that all prostitutes are empty minded. I am not biased about it. Maybe a little. When I began watching that episode I really expected some intelligent women. I thought that if they are paid so much money, they might be more sofisticated than those on the streets. As a result, I was disappointed. Although one of them, the one from Montreal, Canada, pointed out that she is writing a book (yeahh...she meant Kamasutra?), on the question what she think if the NY governor should resign, she answered that of course, "what an example he shows kinds?" I laughed so hard. Girly, and what example you show? Sleeping with hundrends of men for money. Come on! "I feel much better if my client is single." Yeah, right, but you still sleep with him for money. My point is not to scorn profession of the prostitute. No. I am ok with what they do, as long as they use condoms, do not spread STDs and have enjoyment from this. But how can she judge a person while having so low moral standards by herself?

Now Spitzer's wife. I have listen this afternoon a good idea about her. If she insists her husband not to resign, then she probably knew about his adventers. I will not be suprised if she knew. However, what else she has to say in such situtation as her husband's? Moreover, everybody is talking about braveness of those wives, who come to support their husbands in such "difficult" times. Come on, they do not have another choice. They has been living with those horny bastards for many years, having financial support from them and status. If they divorce them at one, it will be worse for them, just because other wives in such situtations did not do that and, then, people will tell that a wife is bad, because she did not support her husband. I guess it is much better for wives to stay with their husbands, at least for a while, because they will look much better if they do. People will tell that they are so goood and sooo generous to support their men, and by staying with them, instead of divorcing, they make men bad but not themselves. My point is that those women are not brave, they are just smart not to jump into hot water, but, instead, just blow on it. By the way, his wife looks really hot!

Another political issue I have a view on is the comment of one of campaign team (or what is the technical name?) of Hillary. I tried to find the name of the person I am talking, but did not find. I am talking about the one who said that Obama has some support in people votes because he is Adrican American. I am not a racist, but I agree with her conclusion. I think his race means as much as Mrs. Clinton's gender. I understand that people want to see in the candidate just a person, a leader. But it will never happen, just because we are a people and look at others through our own glass of opinions and views. I do not want to expand more on this subject, because I have to do my homework, which I am avoding already for more than hour and a half.

I am lazy, although I cannot afford to be

It is Friday morning. I have planned to do some homework, but I cannot do anything because I am sick, and because I just do not want to do anything :-) I have an interview in 3 hours, so I have read about my interviewers and about firm. Wish me luck.

A little about recent events and other things

First of all, I will exclaim, "Wow!!!" I did not know that my blog's link is on somebody's else blog. Thank you, David! Here is the link to David's blog, a person who was so kind to have some interest in my grammatically incorrect and spiritually barren blog. I also happily will post a link to David's blog in my list. BTW, David wrote Life of Alien. For a couple of weeks I am thinking whether I put correctly article "the" in front of "life." Anybody will help ESL student with articles? I do not want to seem unintelligent.

Although I have planned to describe my recent days in more details, I do not feel like to do that, so I will post them in brief order (not chronological) and go to treat myself with hot steam and hot tea, because I am sick. I hate to be sick.

My events:

1. More then a week ago I finally finished my trial brief. It was painful and went not very well. I worked on it Friday's evening, all Saturday and all Sunday, and yes, I was one of those students who did not sleep the night before Monday. Amazing, I was late with my papers in my life, but not as late as it was with this trial brief. I got up from the desk at 6.30 am on Monday and still did not do good job on checking my citations and grammar mistakes. But yes, I have finished it. Today I talked to my legal writing Prof. and she said I have a real problem with my grammar. I decided not to do a drama from this, because then I will not be able to start my appelate brief, which will cause worse problem. Moreover, she did not know that I have finished a half of the brief at night, so even writing on native language would not help me. I hope I will not get C. I will be happy even with B. It is only 30% of the grade, additionally, I do not deserve more.
2. Last week I had 2 interviews with law firms for my summer clerkship. One went quite tough - I saw 7 people and talked without stop. Another one was easier - no questions to me, all questions were from me, and we chatted for an hour. Before I began writing this post I had finished preparation for my tomorrow's interview with the third firm. I have used flash cards to make notes about firm, about the areas of the practice, and my questions. It is amazing how much time I can spend on interview preparation. I will have the result about each interview next week. I keep my fingers crossed, because I want this internship.
3. I got sick. I sneez and my throat is in pain. I think a law school killed all my immune system, because I do not remember days when I got sick so often.
4. People keep hitting my website by searching key words as "tired of law school (studying)" and "find motivation to study." Dear visitors, I am afraid you find yourself in disapointment after reading my stuff here that does not give any encoragment for better studying but only crying about the difficulties of the law school and studying. However, it is not my fault that Google likes my blog for those subjects. I also assume I have to right something marrier. However, I can assure my reader, that you will hardly find my blog by searching something like "happiness in a law school." well, there is a possibility that after two years Google will find my blog from the search of "happiness," but it will be in paralel with a word "graduation" not word "study."
