#nowhiteflags

I know a lot of people are getting sick of this "publicity stunt," but the numbers say it's been effective!  Awareness campaigns matter!

So in honor of my nomination by a member of my law fraternity, Delta Theta Phi, the ALS foundation, and Steve Gleason, I'm sharing my #ALSicebucketchallenge on my blog.

Go donate!  I did!

Too cool for skool

So it's August.  All over facebook, I keep seeing posts about people starting up classes again, back to school days.

But not for me!  This is the first year I'm not going back to school this fall.  And it's a totally weird feeling!

I have friends starting graduate programs, friends in the middle of programs, friends going to college, friends almost done.  And then there's me, with nothing to do.  I don't have a job yet, probably won't get one until I pass the bar.  So I have nothing to do.

What a foreign feeling!

I knew I was going to take a few weeks off after the bar exam to recover, and I've done that.  But I'm definitely starting to feel a little antsy.  I want something to do!  I've even pulled out some old video games to fill my time.

Don't get me wrong, I kind of love the freedom.  But sitting along in my apartment all day long gets kind of boring.

Thankfully, I'm heading on vacation in a few days!  I can't wait to get out and do things (plus the change in weather will be nice...as long as I don't get too cold, I can never imagine what anything below 80 degrees will feel like during Southern summers).

Got a whole bunch of new books for my kindle to read on the flight, too!  I will always love a proper book in my hands and will continue to purchase books (although maybe not until I get paid again), but Jo is right, a kindle is mighty convenient!

But to everyone else getting back into the school groove, good luck!  I wish you a productive year and hope things go your way.

To the rest of us,
