law school ninja

I have lots of pet peeves. Truckloads of them. Some of them are reasonable, some of them aren’t, although I’m fairly well attached to all of them. My newest one is this oh-so-typical conversation, which I’ve had approximately 8342 times already since the semester’s been over: EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD: So, how’s law school? [...]

So I haven’t posted in like two weeks. Terribly sorry. I really haven’t even been all that busy, although I’m supposed to have been busy this whole time. My motivation has flown out the window and I’ve been waiting for it to come back. Okay, okay, I cannot tell a lie. The truth is, I [...]

It’s a milestone kind of day here at Chez Ninja. This is my 100th post! Hard to believe. So, to celebrate, I’m completing a half-finished post from a long time ago while watching Get Smart with Ninja Kid and eating tons of leftover Halloween candy. Hey, don’t hate me cuz I know how to par-tay. [...]

Faster than you can say “hideous monstrous rabbit squishing a young girl,” we’re halfway through our fall 1L semester. Can you believe it? No, that’s not Ninja Kid.

Well, week 7 is in the books. We’re nearing the halfway point of 1L fall semester. I know a lot more than I did seven weeks ago, that’s fo sho. But the thought of exams coming up in less than two months now… [please hold for major panic attack] Seems like the only class with [...]

So apparently the blog has been down for a little while. I’m not sure exactly how long, but I know it was longer than 24 hours. Apologies if you were trying to access the site and you got an error message. Hopefully the problem has been fixed and we’re good to go. In case you [...]

Week 5? You mean more like week 5… hundred? Seems like I’ve been a law student for FO-EVAH already. Let me ‘splain it to ya. On the one hand, I am certainly still more confused than not regarding the big picture. I think this is why some people suggest waiting to start outlining until later [...]

Either way, I’m FAMOUS! Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating just a touch, but really, I am. Famous, that is. Bitter Lawyer has made a list of its top 10 favorite law student blogs, and guess who’s on it? Give up? Little ol’ me! Congrats to everybody on the list! Edited to add: And welcome to new [...]
