Another seven days have gone by since our last installment of Fridays From the Frontlines and we welcome you back! This week we continued our ongoing surveillance of the ‘blawgosphere’ and found that 1Ls had quite a lot on their minds while 2L and 3L students were a little more reticent.
0L Lovely MRS received acceptances from the majority of her safety and reach schools, but was leaning towards the lowest ranking school of the bunch. Columbia ’12 Soleil continued to wage an epic battle against the mice in her apartment, and considered going to the library to avoid her tendency of falling asleep when doing her law reading. Chapman ’12 Julie bought herself a school sweatshirt and recounted a humorous interaction between a professor and one of her fellow classmates. 1L Legalista shared her first of ten tips any first year should know: sell your books. 1L No Reins Girl applied the lessons of her contract law course to discuss the change in how she can watch rugby on television. NCCU ’12 TDOT found that some of his legal reading was making it difficult to like people. 1L Moonshine Pete shocked her boyfriend with her lack of knowledge about the New Deal, and managed to gain access to the library without her ID card. NYU ’12 IDWSJ covered a lot of topics in a post that hit on job interviews, job fairs, and how his classes are focused less on doctrine this semester. Miami ’12 Goateed 1L began to consider a future in the Army or Navy Judge Advocate General program. NYU ’12 Invisible Man learned that at least one reader got to his blog by searching ‘prestigious 1L summer,’ and provided his ideas on what that might mean. 1L Anonymous wondered if she was the only one finding it even more difficult to get their reading done.
2L Reasonable struggled to keep her case together when her witnesses were late and her judge was immune to ‘please.’ Minnesota ’11 Jansen explained why his was a blog about a law student’s life, not a law student blog. 2L The Exit pointed out a number of myths that many 1Ls might like to know about. 2L Googiebaba updated her blog with a photograph of her new daughter, and admitted that the responsibilities of school and parenthood made it a challenge to remember her own name. 2L Kel was quite frustrated by the issues of quotas she, and other women, faced when it came to gaining places in clinics, competitions and journals.
3L I’m Nobody didn’t have a lot to say due to the exhaustion of law school, but did have plans to get drunk with a friend. Austin ’10 Paragon2Pieces felt prepared for the MPRE, and gave those with less confidence a few suggestions. 3L Eliza endured another winter but had serious plans for the warmer months. With another six weeks of winter ahead of us (according to Punxsutawney Phil) we hope that all students and applicants, can keep their spirits warm and upbeat, even if their hands freeze.
And that wraps up this ‘episode’ of Fridays From the Frontline. If you are (or know) a law school applicant or student blogger, and would like to be included in our weekly roundup, please let us know by emailing bob@clearadmit.com. Until next time, have a great weekend!
