Settling In

Posted on August 8, 2012 by

Well things are finally slowing down here a bit in Connecticut. I’ve settled into my place and I’m pretty happy with the living arrangement. I’m about half a mile from campus and the place is pretty spacious. My textbooks are slowly trickling in and if you haven’t ordered yours definitely go ahead and get them ASAP.

Today, Connecticut

Posted on August 1, 2012 by

Well, today I move to Connecticut. It’s about a twelve hour drive from Charlotte, NC to Hamden, CT and I’ve decided to do it all in one go. It’ll be a full day on the road but then it’ll be done. I’ve also decided to forego a UHaul and simply load as much as I can into my Honda Accord. It’s light packing for sure, but I figure what do I need other than textbooks, clothes, and a laptop in law school?

I’ll be sure to post pictures of Quinnipiac’s gorgeous campus after I get settled. It’s been a crazy week of trying to get everything in order and I’m sure it’ll be a whirlwind between now and the two weeks until orientation and the beginning of classes.

Purge Everything

Posted on July 23, 2012 by

I used to be a hugely sentimental person. It creates problems, because you start attaching meaning to all kinds of things you own. In this move I’ve either sold, given away, or thrown away about 80% of everything I own. I even went so far as to do this with everything I had at my parent’s house too. They were more than thrilled and it’s going to make my move for law school that much easier.

Budgetting Time in Law School

Posted on July 9, 2012 by

Well, after sitting down with my law school schedule I’ve decided I’m going to TRY and stick to a nice schedule. Doing so will allow me to always get things done on time and hopefully a set schedule will keep my energy high throughout the year. I’ve based this off of a lot of law student advice over at Top-Law-Schools. They have dozens of law student guides to doing well your 1L year.  Continue reading →

Good News for Lawyers

Posted on July 4, 2012 by

We all know the legal industry is a hard nut to crack into, but there’s not always bleak news. Lawyers were recently ranked #5 in the country for best paid jobs. Unfortunately, the data uses averages and not a median to determine the positions. I’d like to see a more accurate picture but still not bad news.
