A little less AWOL, and a little more posting, bitch!

True, true. I've clearly been relaxing from the posting for a little while. For the most part I've been working, knitting, seeing my friends in a leisurely manner, and otherwise enjoying the flexibility that comes from my contract work, up until my (probably more structured) internship starts. In the last week, I've finished a pair of socks for myself and a scarf for a friend of mine who is a new mom. I'm looking forward to giving it to her. I know she's been getting a ton of baby stuff lately, but wouldn't it be nice in that situation to get a gift that has nothing to do with the baby? Something that's just yours? I took a photo; I'll post it soon.

Our grades are starting to trickle in. Our property grade is up. I find myself mildly disappointed; it's slightly lower than last semester. What I find really interesting, though, is that if our grades for the last two semesters were reversed, it would be different. I would have been happy with both grades to the point of being ecstatic today. Functionally, they're no different, it's just a question of sequence. It just goes to show how everything is a matter of perspective, I suppose.

I'll post more interesting stuff in the next couple days. I've been thinking a lot about firm life, and particularly my comments on it. I'm going to take some time to explore why the idea of working at BigLaw is repulsive to me. Coincidentally, there are a few posts at other blogs sort of related to that theme for me to share when the time comes.

Back to work.
