|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:25 PM Author: gold state I did a court internship. Not my first choice, but I didn't get a firm job and didn't start looking for government stuff early enough. It was a reasonably good experience - gave me some exposure to legal writing in a professional context and made me realize that I never, ever wanted to be a litigator. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832099) |

|
Date: January 16th, 2006 2:39 PM Author: gold state I didn't start until February-March, and a lot of the good stuff was snapped up by then. I think that if you haven't gotten a firm job yet, you should probably start doing a non-firm job search as well. If worst comes to worst, you get a firm job and a non-firm job and tell the non-firm job no thanks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832585) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 2:45 PM Author: Up-to-no-good offensive kitty cat Thanks... I'm actually primarily interested in government work (no interest in firms), and I fired off applications late last week. Not early, but not late either I guess.

Date: January 16th, 2006 2:46 PM Author: gold state You should be ok. Just make sure to keep on top of your job search - and if you're not getting many bites, send out a second round of letters. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832622) |

|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:28 PM Author: gold state I just took BarBri, since my firm was paying for it and it was what everyone else was doing. I don't know anyone who took a different course, so I can't say anything about others. BarBri was fine, though in retrospect I wish I'd studied a bit harder during the beginning of the summer so that the end wasn't so miserable. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832138) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:32 PM Author: Curious twinkling office filthpig Thanks. I was thinking about doing BarBri plus the PMBR 6 day course. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832180) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:34 PM Author: gold state I think BarBri is worth it. The schedule is pretty helpful as a guide to what you should be doing.
I didn't do PMBR, but I know people who did and they seemed more confident going into the exam than I did. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:35 PM Author: Curious twinkling office filthpig Ok, thanks. That's what I was hoping to hear. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832202) |

|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:27 PM Author: gold state It was kind of a meh weekend. Dinner with friends on Friday, drinks on Saturday, saw Match Point (which was quite good) and had an argument with my boyfriend last night. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832126) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:28 PM Author: bisexual heady house degenerate That's too bad. Was it a huge argument, or just a little one? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832139) |

|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:31 PM Author: bisexual heady house degenerate That's good--still, I can see why this would put a damper on an otherwise OK weekend.
Do you have interview advice? I am soliciting as much as possible. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:35 PM Author: gold state Yeah, it happens.
Is this a job interview or a law school interview? Any particular topics? |

Date: January 16th, 2006 1:47 PM Author: gold state I think that it's important that you know the basic facts about the school - what its strengths are, what it likes to brag about, why you think you'd be a good fit there.
By no means should you feel required to know exactly what classes you want to take or what kind of law you want to practice. Frankly, I kind of roll my eyes a bit at people who try to pretend that they know exactly what they want to study and practice (with the exception of people who have significant pre-law school experience, like the IP folks). You haven't had significant exposure to law yet and it doesn't sound like you've been doing legal work. Expecting you to know what you're drawn to and what you're most suited for is a little ridiculous. Have some ideas of things that sound interesting, but don't feel pressured to commit. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:51 PM Author: bisexual heady house degenerate OK, thanks. Based on your advice, it sounds like I'm on the right track. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832355) |

|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:33 PM Author: gold state Little picture: I didn't get to eat dinner last night because he dawdled instead of getting ready to go to the movie, and wasn't willing to see a later show so we could eat first.
Big picture: He almost always picks what we do in the evenings. We have different interpretations of why this happens. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:36 PM Author: Shaky nofapping home voyeur Interesting, what's your interpretation?
(don't answer if I'm being too nosy) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:40 PM Author: gold state I offer suggestions, but he bitches so goddamn much when he doesn't enjoy the evening that I don't push it very hard if he doesn't seem very interested in my suggestion. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832250) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:41 PM Author: Shaky nofapping home voyeur That's annoying. I'd be happy with someone like that though because I hate planning shit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832265) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:43 PM Author: gold state I'm usually fine with it, as long as he remembers to feed me. I enjoy most things, but don't like being hungry.
His interpretation of things is that I don't ever offer suggestions and that he doesn't actually like doing all the planning (though he admits he sometimes overreacts when he doesn't like what I pick). I think we agreed that I'd be a little more assertive about saying what I want, and that he'd try to refrain from bitching if I pick something he dislikes. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:46 PM Author: Shaky nofapping home voyeur Well that sounds like a pretty communicative end to things. That's good.
You are wise and rational, how would you feel about helping me figure out my life plan for a few minutes? |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:47 PM Author: gold state I'll at least give it a shot.
How are things, by the way? Have you had your baby yet? |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:53 PM Author: Shaky nofapping home voyeur Yup, the little screamer has been around for a while now. Things are OK. I just have no idea what to do with myself. I bailed on law school, and am trying to decide if I should apply again. The thought of it just seems really overwhelming. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832367) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 1:54 PM Author: gold state Congrats! Are you sure it's something you want to do someday but not sure if it's the right time, or are you unsure about whether you ever want to go? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832381) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 2:03 PM Author: Shaky nofapping home voyeur I am pretty sure I want to go. However, having the kid makes me realize I really do not want and could not handle biglaw type hours, which makes me wary of incurring all the debt.
Also I'm trying to decide if it would be better to go now - and if so, full or part time - or if I should have another kid soon and wait until they're both in school. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 2:07 PM Author: gold state Given the information in the first paragraph, it sounds like you should go at some point, but make sure it's to a school where you get merit money. As I remember, you have high numbers, so I'd imagine you could get a scholarship to a decent school. Then take your free degree and get a job that has more reasonable hours.
I think this might be territory where I'm not qualified to give advice, since having kids is a long way off for me. Are you working now, or are you staying at home? Would you mind it if you had two children who had a fairly large age gap? |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 2:23 PM Author: Shaky nofapping home voyeur I do have good numbers, although if I wait long enough to apply, I'll have to take the LSAT again. Ugh. I do think taking a lower-priced education would be a good idea. The only problem is that my husband's job is not completely geographically flexible.
I'm staying at home right now and if I held off on law school, I'd stay home until I went. We want to have one more kid. I wouldn't mind having kids with a large age gap, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to just get all my childbearing done before I start this new career. On the other hand, if I have another kid, money will be tighter when I go, and also it would be harder to uproot the family if I didn't get in and get money somewhere close to home. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 2:31 PM Author: gold state Are you going to be very picky about the name-brand of the school? I don't remember where you live, but with the numbers I think you have you should be able to get significant money at most lower tier 1s and at everything below that. It's probably a little bit of an adjustment from where you think you were going, but getting great grades at a lower-ranked school still opens a lot of doors and it sounds like you're thinking of jobs that aren't so finicky about law school status anyway.
Even if you're not working at a firm, I'd imagine it's easier to have a child before/during school than while you're starting a new job. If you could have two kids on a student budget and still be ok with it, that's probably the least costly option - the other one seems to have you out of the workforce for about 10 years. If it were me I might have the second child and stay at home for another year or two, then go to law school (full-time or part-time). But I think this mostly depends on how long you want to stay at home with your kids, which is kind of a personal preference. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 2:43 PM Author: Shaky nofapping home voyeur Yeah, you are right. But I admit that the thought of going to a lower tier 1 would be kind of a major psychic adjustment. It probably would be the choice that makes the most sense, though.
I don't adore being a stay at home mom, but I just had no idea how little I would trust him with someone else. Maybe that dissipates a little with time. Honestly I wish he'd been twins because I just want to have the kids and be done with it, but the thought of going through another pregnancy soon is totally exhausting.
Anyway, thanks for letting me think out loud. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2006 2:44 PM Author: gold state Good luck to you. I think you'll end up picking something that makes you happy - you've just got a lot of things to weigh when you make your decision. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832610) |

|
Date: January 16th, 2006 2:03 PM Author: gold state If your firm's paying, I'd strongly recommend taking it, even if you just do the CDs. For the most part the class just goes over the books. They do point out what's most important, which has some value, but the main point is to keep you on track and make sure you're studying at the recommended rate.
Do you have slacking tendencies, or are you capable or studying for 6-8 hours a day without structure? |

Date: January 16th, 2006 2:15 PM Author: gold state I think if you never went to any, people might notice. I'm not sure if that would have any kind of an effect. But you can definitely skip a few if they're not your thing of if it's the end of the summer and you're sick of them. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832464) |

Date: January 16th, 2006 2:19 PM Author: gold state No, she's actually right. Summer events are really fun at the beginning and I wish I could still have some of that, but at the end of my summer I was tired of them. At some point, you get tired of hanging out with your coworkers and want to have some more evenings free to spend with your own friends (or just to stay home and relax). The key is balancing the summer stuff with other things, so you're not having too much of one thing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832492) |

Date: January 16th, 2006 2:18 PM Author: gold state Towards the end of the summer everyone will be skipping a few. If you go to your share of them, no one's going to notice or care that you skipped one or two. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=340518&forum_id=2#4832482) |

Then why does everyone think you are? |

Date: January 16th, 2006 2:56 PM Author: gold state I've never said anything either way about this topic, and don't plan to.
I think that people misinterpreted azn's statement about me dating asian guys in the past, and automatically assumed that was the case with my current relationship. |

Date: January 16th, 2006 3:04 PM Author: gold state I used Douglas Elliman. They seemed to have a lot of listings, and didn't seem too sleazy. They ripped me off, of course, but it was worth it to be able to find an apartment quickly.
Look at some websites so you can have a realistic idea about what you can get for your money. You probably won't be able to have a big, luxurious apartment in the perfect location and not spend too much money for it - decide what your main priorities are beforehand and make sure your broker understands them. Don't be afraid to let the broker know if you think something sucks and don't want to see anything else even vaguely like it. Have everything ready to go before you start going to apartments - deposit money, references, etc. - and be ready to put in an application day of if you like something. The good places go really fast, and if you wait around you might lose it to someone else. |
