legal daze

lawyers just *gotta use the bigs words:

"In making admissions decisions, the school gives substantial weight to numerical indicators... Yet numbers alone are not dispositive." - Boalt

here's a gem from the Complete Lawyer.com

"Lawyer Jokes Exist For A Reason -
Superior intellect or outstanding professional reputation are never reasons to accept or forgive bad manners or questionable social behavior."

i.e. just because you're better than everyone else doesn't mean you should act like it.
maybe the problem is believing in something like "superior intellect".

and there's your dose of wisdom from a hopeful law school applicant. (i'm trying to use more sarcasm).

i did yoga for the first time last weekend; it was fun. i tried not to stare at the other people; the shirtless man next to me's giant back zit was one point of fixation

i read carol's post about not being good at giving affection. flury said the same thing to me. i think i need to work on it too. but there's definitely more hugs from the San Jose crowd than the SF. i guess we're too hip or something, though i thought we were all hippies.
