Everybody loves free stuff. I mean heck, I check the free section of craigslist at least once every other week. Over the course of my first week at law school I received a ridiculous amount of free stuff. Some of it will definitely be put to use in the near future...the rest was instantly thrown into either the trash or my second favorite place to dispose of useless items: under the bed. Anyway, here's a list of the everything I received for free so far, in ascending order of usefulness.
Variety of hand bags - One, i'm not a chick. Two, i'm not gay. Yea, I'm fashionably conscious but I'm not gonna be spotted toting around a hand bag. If i do, I figure I can't hold someone liable for punching me in or around the genital area. Thanks, but no thanks. You've just added to the landfill under my bed.
Pens - I mean come on, everyone needs more pens. I snagged two. I saw someone grab a whole handful off the table...it was nice to see an opportunist at work.
School of Law t-shirt - I still haven't taken this out of the "crap i dont care about" pocket of my backpack. There's a slight possibility I will wear the shirt during daylight but more than likely it'll be used as a gym shirt or for other purposes which may or may not be appropriate to say aloud.
Breakfast - Muffins, bagels, coffee, donuts...every day during the week. What more can you ask for? Well for starters, some damn creamcheese would have been nice. Go big or go home.
Lunch at Steven Starr - This actually is happening tomorrow. My faculty mentor is taking myself and a few other students to POD, the University City Steven Starr restaurant. Bang-a-rang
School of Law Sweatshirt - Unlike the t-shirt, this will definitely get some use. Plus the fact that is says "law school" lets those acquaintances who are still in undergrad know that I did in fact graduate and am not in fact enrolled as a super senior. I definitely said fact too much in this paragraph.
Beer - Three out of the five orientation days I got to drink on the school's tab. It was a great idea on their part. Every time I started questioning my decision to attend The School of Law they conveniently had an event with free flowing alcohol. The professors encouraged us to have a "good time". Hell, they were having the best time out of anyone. Though I'm no longer questioning my desire to be at the Law School, I am questioning whether my liver will survive the three years until I graduate.

After reading your post, it is clear to me how all those jokes about lawyers get created... Hopefully, you will mature in the next three years... becoming an asset to our profession rather than someone who has a lot to say about nothing.. Your sarcastic approach to your new school tells me a great deal about you .. Love yourself much!!!??!!!... It is not your liver you should be worrying about, it is your attitude!!

ReplyDeleteJust what the world needs another sarcastic lawyer. Are you also telling me that Justice Ginsberg is sarcastic? What does Judaism have to do with sarcasm?
ReplyDeleteDoes $100,000 gives you privileges that others do not have? Anonymous has a point about your attitude.

Listen, I sincerely apologize if I offended you. This blog is meant to be nothing more than a humorous approach to my daily happenings. From what my law professors tell me, it's essential to keep doing the things you enjoy during school. I enjoy writing...It keeps me sane. If it's offensive to you, don't read it. No one is forcing you. And as a successful lawyer, I'm sure there are better things to do.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this post, I have officially lost my will to live. I find you a reprehensible character in this story book we call life. You give lawyers, no, the entire judicial system, a bad name through your mean-spirited, verbal diarrhea. Keep your bloggy excrement inside your deranged head you heathen.
