Library Studying

I’m back at the libary studying Texas Civil Procedure again.  We covered the entire book which is an extensive amount of material, but it doesn’t seem that hard to grasp.  Its mostly code, but common sensical if you think about it.

On an exercise log note, I ran 36 minutes after my blog entry last night.

Finding a Job During the Holidays

I’m hopeful I can find a legal job during the break to earn extra money and gain experience.  If you’re looking as well, my recommendation is not to limit yourself to online searches.  My feeling is too many students rely on the Internet and only the Internet.  I suggest reading the newspaper (even though it may be online – it’s easier to scan through) and actually calling law firms or practitioners and inquiring about openings.  You know, you could even email them if you’re adverse to calling.  Email doesn’t give you the same connection as voice to voice communication, but it is a connection nonetheless.

If you talk to lawyers, you’ll find they’re generally a nice group and can definitely empathize with the process.  They may not have a place for you, but the worse that can happen is they tell you no.

I will send in applications from the school job bank, but I’ll also be seeking employment this way.  Of course, I’ll let you in on this progress.

Thanksgiving Day Progress

I spent some time with my family today and then started up Texas Civil Procedure around 5:00.  I took a break for the Arizona Cardinals game which featured two of my fantasy players – Kurt Warner and Anquan Boldin.  Throughout the game I got a pretty good workout so I do feel good about the 2 for 1 situation.
