Tomorrow the law school will explode with orientation for the new group of 1Ls. Which means I’m about a week away from starting my second year of law school. Well, I actually started my externship at the Missouri School Board Association today. I love my new chair and I now have yet another email address!
I have high hopes for the new semester! As well as taking 16 credit hours, I will be on Law Review and a TA for Legal Research and Writing. A TA is pretty much like an AI at IU, except without the tuition waiver. I know it’s going to be a busy semester, but I’m excited about my classes. In addition to the externship, I am taking Constitutional Law, Education Law, Professional Responsibility, Philosophic Theories of Education, and Fall Moot Court.
So after much reflection, web surfing, and numerous conversations with mentors and friends, I’m trying to steer this crazy legal career thing. It’s just a seedling of an idea, but I’m thinking about education public policy as a place to start. I decided on this after researching my dream job and working backwards. I am frantically researching Washington DC law firms for a job for next summer.
Now if someone would just kick me in the butt and make me keep this blog updated!! Sometimes I have so much to write that I end up writing nothing at all.

You should know that if you didn't update your blog today, I was going to have to take the matters into my own hands (I'll let you wonder about that for a bit...)
It's the start of the school year, and as you know, it's quite overwhelming. The politicians in our school are working harder than ever...
Be in better touch...AND EMAIL ME BACK! I distinctly remember you saying how much you like getting email...I am officially on strike until I hear from you.
:)
If you want an "authority" figure to encourage blogging, I can do that.
i like the ed policy idea.
congrats on starting your second year.
you're making us all proud!
HBC - I'm trying!!!
John M -- I'll keep the offer in mind. :)
LH -- it's this kind of socially supportive comment that is missing in the lawyer world. It really made me smile and feel supported. Thank you.
