omphaloskepsis: june 2010

So I’ve noticed that some of the blogs I read do this thing where they examine their blog statistics and report the results. This seems like a good idea, so I’m going to give it a whirl this month. Oh shuddup. It’ll be fun for me. Which is kindof the point.

Hahaha. Gross.

what to expect when you’re expecting (a brief)

Finally, we’re going to talk about the search terms that you guys use to find this blog. I mean, really? Some of you may have some serious problems for which you should probably seek medical and/or psychiatric attention. I don’t know for sure, just a hunch. These are in no particular order.

law shool not that hard: It’s not as hard as a lot of people want you to believe. However, you’ll have an easier time if you first learn to spell “school.”

baby come back pics funny: Honestly that doesn’t sound very convincing. I’m not coming back. Sorry.

good grades in law school 1l: Yes. What are good grades in law school? With the curves varying widely from school to school, and with schools retroactively inflating their students’ grades to permit their students to better compete with students from schools with more generous curves, the idea of “good” grades is becoming more and more subjective and hard to nail down. In my opinion, if you’re beating the curve, you’re doing okay because you’re doing better than more than half of your classmates.

terapia hiperbarica: WTF

i got a c on my law school exam (and other variations on this): It’s gonna be okay. I promise. Don’t panic.

girl sitting at a table with a pile of p: I don’t think I want to know how this search led to my blog, actually.

law school slacking: I’m offended that this search would yield this blog. Slacking? WHAT?! Well, okay, maybe that’s fair after all.

girls squishing: Again, I don’t want to know. Sounds gross.

what do entering 1ls wear to law school: Mostly clothes. Check Dennis Jansen here and Huma Rashid here for fashion advice. I’m a casual dresser at school; hardly anybody at my school does business casual on a regular basis.

doctor gangrene doll: The new must-have Christmas gift of 2010? You guys, I don’t like gangrene OR dolls. And only very few doctors. Combine all three and it sounds like a damn horror movie to me.

bahahahahahahahaha: I mean, I hope this blog is entertaining, but at this point I’m beginning to feel a tad paranoid.

legal terms for law school: I think the legal term of art would be along the lines of “ritualized hazing.”

future hair cuts: My next one is scheduled for July 2nd. Thanks for asking.

is the law exciting: YES!! Here’s the thing. Law school isn’t all that exciting. In fact, it can be downright awful. But actually getting to do lawyerly things is really super fun in the nerdiest of nerdy ways. And everybody here knows that I’m a nerdy nerd.

That’s about it. There are others but I’m tired and now bored with this navel gazing exercise. Wasn’t that fun? I had fun. And that’s what it’s all about.
