Jibberish

Wow! Only one more oral presentation left in Moot Court before our final oral argument in front of the panel of judges. I'm becoming more and more comfortable with public speaking but my skills are by no means bling, bling. The final argument is a month away and the 30-page brief is due in 3 weeks.-->I guess I better get working on that.

Since getting my jewels handed to me on a silver platter in Contracts, I've devised a scheme to prevent further mishaps. I've noticed that when the professor randomly calls on people from the seating chart, she'll say to the people that she has already heard from that day, "Oh, you've already said something. Let me find someone else who hasn't." So from now on my goal is to raise my hand to answer a question to prevent her from drilling me when she goes to the seating chart. It's all about strategy.

I was invited to a law firm social Monday evening for the Top 10% of the class. It was basically a networking opportunity to meet and greet the attorneys from a large firm here in town. The firm provided beer, wine, and food. They generally hire only those in the top 10% with law review and/or moot court experience. To land a job with such a firm I'll need to continue to produce the same quality of work. Fortunately, a few a my friends that I hang out with in law school are also in the top 10%. We went to the event in a group which made it much more relaxing...of course the beer helped as well.
