Ha, oops! So I came across this old flight credit... [Jul. 6th, 2009|06:18 pm]

Dear Ms. Moriello,

Thank you for contacting us concerning your flight credit with United. Unfortunately, credit is only valid for a year from the date it was issued. Your travel credit would have been only valid up until January 2002. For more information on booking an entirely new reservation please contact our reservations center at 1-800-UNITED1 (1-800-864-8331)

I appreciate the opportunity to respond.

Regards,

Deborah Victors
United Airlines Customer Relations

Why on earth does Abercrombie come up (scroll to "G") when you google "Durham thrift stores"???

Dear Guy I Overhear Daily in Whole Foods,

Any attractiveness you may have gained from compulsively working out has been negated by your pompous, daily bragging about it.

Sincerely,
Beckie

Congress Passes Wide-Ranging Bill Easing Bank Laws

"'I think we will look back in 10 years' time and say we should not have done this but we did because we forgot the lessons of the past, and that that which is true in the 1930's is true in 2010,' said Senator Byron L. Dorgan, Democrat of North Dakota."

Yesterday I was polite and didn't say, "My mistake, your Honor. I thought justice was blind." in response to being reprimanded for my clothes.

Isn't the name "Greek Fiesta" just a hysterical name for a restaurant? I mean, unless "fiesta" is a Greek word also.

I'm torn about how to proceed with my online presence. I prefer facebook to livejournal, but facebook status updates are so fleeting. I've heard it suggested that maybe Orkut will get with the program and we'll all switch over there. Not that I want to migrate again. I just want my damn status updates to be a bit more permanent. Which brings us to Twitter. That just doesn't seem satisfactory. (Plus I haven't quite figured it out yet.) Sigh... life's so hard.

I swear I don't have as much free time as this post would have you believe.

I'm mainly posting this because about 6 months ago I said I would and I just ran across my PMBR stuff. But also because I doubt I'll ever get sick of bitching about law school.

Our first year classes are supposedly the most important. If you go the traditional route, your first year grades determine your summer jobs, which you're supposed to hope will eventually become post-school employment.

IOW, first year grades are *Really Important*.

The bar exam emphasizes these *Important* 1st-year subjects. However, (and here comes my thesis statement), there is almost no correlation between what's tested on the bar exam and what we learn in law school. To exemplify, below are my first year grades and my PMBR pre-test scores ranked best-->worst. Notice the non-existant correlation.

1L Grades
torts
criminal
property
contracts
constitutional

PMBR Pre-test
contracts
criminal
property
constiutional
torts

And just for fun, let's throw in a comparison of how much I had studied for each class in school.

Studied
constitutional
property
torts
contracts
criminal (to be fair, crim was worth fewer credits, so logically one would study less)

Silly legal education... Oh well, at least it prepared us for actual practice. (HA!!)

My orthodontist finally mentioned that my jaw is an "orthodontist's nightmare", and odds are that it'll never be fixed.
