Hi there, and welcome to a brand new installment of Fridays From the Frontline, Clear Admit’s weekly waltz through the ‘blawgosphere.’ This week summer jobs were on many first years’ minds while other bloggers were making changes to their sites, all for the entertainment and edification of their readers.
oL Sue provided her take on how to tackle the LSAT assumption questions. 0L Ricky Nelson was grateful to his parents for their financial backup, but felt guilty that not all future law students had similar support. 1L Anonymous participated in 3 summer job interviews in 18 hours. NYU ’12 Invisible Man sarcastically suggested that changing how one refers to their studies will make them more important. Miami ’12 Goateed 1L completed his first week of classes in the new year and turned his attentions to football. NYU ’12 IDWSJ continued to await his grades from the previous semester, and refused to change his study habits until he knew whether they were helpful or hurtful. NCCU ’12 TDot’s trial team came in second at the Kilpatrick-Stockton Case Competition. Columbia ’12 Soleil was not overly pleased with her first Legal Practice Workshop assignment, and accidentally missed one of her morning classes. The new year saw Northwestern ’12 Jeremy make a few changes to his blog, which included more posts and tactical advice.
Harvard ’11 Ivy Lea welcomed suggestions on how she could celebrate her 100th blog post. Yale ’11 SB wondered what the most important number in a person’s life was, and outlined a few possibilities. 2L Huma shared what her next 16 weeks would be like now that her second semester kicked off, and it was a little dire. 2L Laughing was shocked to find that the loud people in the library weren’t 1Ls … they were 3Ls! Minnesota ’11 Jansen got a new dog and named her Gertrude.
3L I’m Nobody did not find her third year to be any easier or boring than her first two years. 3L (In)Sanity Gal wholeheartedly enjoyed her weekend visit to Vermont, cocktails, woolen stockings, dance parties and all. Austin ’10 Paragon2Pieces shared some news about the school’s Center for Women in Law and its new Executive Director.
And that wraps up this round of the realities of applying to, and attending, law school. We here at Clear Admit hope that the fresh semesters are full of fun, and not too terribly draining, for current students, and that aspiring law students keep their eyes on the goal as they move forward in their application process. Until next week, have a great weekend!
