winter's squared away. hallelujah. not huge money, but decent money. i think i have learned that i do not like small law firms. small law firms are crafted to suit the needs, interests, and personalities of usually 1 or 2 people - if I do not have the same needs, interests, and personalities - it doesn't work for me. I think I need at least 50 people collaborating in order to feel not-bristly.

unless, of course, i am one of the 1 or 2 people, starting my own law firm, in order to suit my own needs, interests and personality. which sounds kind of nice.

i had a few students come by for tutor hours today, which was nice. to feel useful.

i only had one class today .... comparative law. i do not like my professor. she likes my thesis, though, and thinks that i'll be able to write a solid paper. on afghanistan. this will be fun. (not tongue in cheek.)

E. had her first cello lesson yesterday. i love that she's playing the cello. the book group that J and I did last year with some of her friends and their moms is about to start back up. because life is not busy enough.

i'm finally signing up for bar review. i ignored it for 2 years. now i want to take the MPRE review course, and i need to do the registration in order to sign up for it, so I'm doing it. i had to sit at a table advertising the availability of tutors today - and was right next to the BarBri table, and couldn't believe how many first year law students were signing up.

i remember my first year. they had their tables, and they were telling us all how if we paid $200 now, we could save up to $1000 in the future. i was thinking 2 things: 1) if I pay $200 now, I can't pay the babysitter; and 2) I don't know that I'll *be* here in the future - what if I fail out? I would walk by the table with my hand covering my eyes. I couldn't handle another thing on my plate.

and now .... i think i was right to ignore them. i pay the same $175 now that i would have 2 years ago, and any increase in barbri tuition affects me not at all. it is paid for by Summer/Future firm.

i am bored. seriously. i just finished my tax reading for tomorrow, and i don't have anything else to do. this is weird. this is not right. i am in LAW SCHOOL.

oh, i suppose i could work on my paper, but i'm not ready yet. the deadline has to be less than a week away for me to do any good work.

i have to pick E. up in just over an hour, but the bike ride is less than 20 minutes, and there's really no point in going over there now.

I thought 50 people *was* a small law firm! :)

I know what you mean though, I like working with a team.
