Miss Me?

I work best under time pressure.

Which is why I’ll be spending the next 48 hours trying to cram in *all the work I have to do for my Appellate Brief, which assignment I’ve had for 6 weeks.  Eh.  I figure this is more what legal writing will be like in the real world, anyhow.

However, I want to rev back up as soon as this behemoth is outta my life.  Upcoming posts to include:

• Professional maternity dress in a legal workplace.  (Oh!  I got a job for the summer!  Woot!)
• “OMG I’ll be working somewhere for real and like writing briefs and memos and stuff that affect real people in real life and WHAT?”, and other posts of the general “I’m scared out of my mind” variety, a topic that promises to increase in frequency as my start date gets closer.
• Professional non-maternity dress in the workplace, since this will be relevant at some point in my life.  Can you tell I’m concerned about my wardrobe?  Specifically, I fear looking young.  I mean, I’m down with being largely wrinkle-free, but I want to look lawyerly, not intern-ly.  I never want an older man to be asking me to fetch coffee ever again.  I’m not sure if the right shoes can do that, but they can’t hurt.
• New Orleans in the springtime.  See: flowers, the rampant blooming of; parades with throws (not just for Mardi Gras!  We’re talking St. Patrick’s Day/Easter/Armistice Day/Any Random Tuesday!); Easter Egg Hunts, the frustration of not being able to find same because all anybody wants to do in this town is throw a damn parade; streetcar as commute; Super Bowl, will we ever get sick of celebrating it?; and other more fascinating topics that I’ll think of when I’m not procrastinating my way through Jack’s ENTIRE nap.

Wish me luck.

*A slight exaggeration.  I have written 19 of the 27 pages.  But I have a LOT of work to do.
