Topic: Scholarships

Time goes by…so quickly

Spring semester seems to be flying by incredibly quick. It seems like just yesterday winter break ended and classes resumed, but it has been a month. Time really does fly when you are busy and having fun.

There was only one new class and professor to become acquainted with this semester - instead of Torts the Green Pod is now taking Constitutional Law I. Civil Procedure, Contracts, and Legal Analysis and Writing all remained in our schedules. Constitutional Law provided an excellent platform for discussing the Inauguration of President Obama and the potential ramifications of Chief Justice Roberts’ messing up the oath of office (those potential ramifications are now moot since the oath was re-administered). Its always interesting when timely issues are incorporated into the discourse of the subject matter.

In addition to school work, LC scholarship applications were due last week. There are numerous scholarships offered by the school for the upper level years of law school and I ended up submitting application materials for a few of them. Although we received the application materials right around the time classes resumed, I ended up not getting a chance to complete the application materials until the weekend before the deadline. Part of my procrastination was due to the fact grades were not posted until the end of January and part of it was because I find writing personal statements to be one of the most difficult types of writing.

Of course this past month has not been all studying and submitting applications, there have also been quite a few social events. Last night I attended the Women’s Law Caucus wine tasting. It was fabulous! As we learned about and sampled various wines we also had a chance to nibble on delicious food and discuss everything from politics to work/life balance to recent movies. All in all it was a great evening!
