Hey y’all! Wow! It has been a looooongggg time since this
blog has seen the light of day. Right before my last post went live, things
around here got SO busy. First – I got engaged!! Which is probably one of the
most exciting things I have ever
experienced. Then of course finals were right around the corner. I thought I
was going to have time to catch up some over Christmas “break,” but that was
the busiest break I have ever had!
Christmas was so wonderful, and then I went with my fiancé’s
(!!!) family to New Orleans – my first time there. Y’all. If you haven’t been
to New Orleans, you need to go – ASAP. It was so fun! Even though it was a little colder than we were anticipating
(and hoping for), we had such a great time ringing in the new year there.
Soon after we got back from New Orleans it was back to
class. Despite finally being in my
3L spring semester, I have had some tough classes so far – and a moot court
competition.
Also, I finally got a sewing machine and I. am. obsessed. There will be much more on this later, as I have already made my own skirt, and let me tell you - I even impressed myself on this one. The machine I got also has an embroidery feature which is awesome - hellllllo monograms!
This weekend we went to Clearwater, Florida to compete in
the National Tax Moot Court Competition. It was a great time, and even though
we didn’t win, our school advanced further than prior years and according to
our coach and the other teams we still had a very impressive performance.
I’m writing this as I’m on the plane back to Kentucky and I
am not looking forward to returning to the cold weather at all. However – at
the tournament we had the opportunity to meet so many other competitors from
other parts of the country and a few girls who are in law school at Suffolk
told us they hadn’t been to class more than three days all semester! I cannot
imagine having that many snow days. I would go crazy. Don’t get me wrong, I
definitely love having a break every now and then, but I can get so restless
and to be out of school that long just sounds so miserable.
When I was at Furman we usually had about one snow day each
semester. Of course, in South Carolina it only takes a 60% chance of snow for them to cancel class, but it was always a
welcomed break. The only negative there is that no one in South Carolina knows
how to deal with snow, so it just took a few flakes to shut down the whole
city. My roommate didn’t even know how to use the dual scraper/brush. It was
certainly an adventure.
Anyways – please accept my apologies for such a lengthy
absence. I am working on so may posts for the up coming weeks.
Interview tips – attire, questions, etc. Professional advice
– how to get a job, how to network, etc. and a few other miscellaneous law
school items. I am also always open to suggestsions so if there is something
specific you want to hear about please please please let me know. Either
comment below or email me at legallysouthernblog@gmail.com.
Thanks for following along y’all, have a great day!
xoxo
