To do list

Well, only two more weeks until my premature meeting with Hell takes place. Beforehand, I still have a few things to take care of such as swapping out my slide rule for a copy of Black's Law Dictionary. I intend on buying some suits in the near future since they tell me people actually wear the damn things in this new profession. Maybe I'll print out a few extra copies of online "How to Tie a Tie" manuals. Orientation starts on the 10th and lasts 1.5 weeks. I hear we get to learn about etiquette in the law profession and some invaluable lessons learned. Heh, I look forward to listening to that shit. I'm assuming items on the agenda include: proper ways to caress a beer, the most opportune times for making use of insider information, how to win arguments when you've already lost, and of course...why you should never represent rich dirty sluts like Anna Nichole Smith.<-- Now that's why I'm going to law school my friends. My days are limited for retracting my decision to enter the profession. Now that I think about it, Doc does seem to have a better ring to it than does Esquire. When people call you Doc, you feel like the man of the house. Esquire on the other hand, sounds like the Queen's servant. Time is ticking...

The Prerequisite

It is here that my bout with learning the law will be documented. Some think I'm nuts. Some think I'm confused. Others think I'm a total money whore. But to be quite honest, it's all of the above. To those that ask, "Why leave a good career?" I say, "Why the hell not?" They say the study of the law changes people dramatically. How they think, how they act, how much they drink, etc., etc. So to test this hypothesis, I'll undergo a self directed study of myself, by means of blogging along the way. Kick back, grab a beer, and strap your ass in. My adventure is about to begin (Aug. 10). Until then, maybe I'll throw in a few pre-game posts to whet your appetite. Here's to my $100,000 law school education. Or as it'll from now on be referred to as: The Six Figure Vacation. Cheers!
