How to Date a FIRST YEAR Law Student.
I found this on facebook. AMAZING....
How to Date a 1L
Fidelity:
• Just because I never call you back or I text you a week later, does not mean I’m not interested, or I’m cheating on you. Really, I'm not that deep. I don’t have time to even consider what kind of signal I’m sending or how you might interpret it. I'm just not sending it because I. Did. Not. Have. Time.
• Just because I talk about that guy/girl from my class incessantly does not mean we are sleeping together. I actually don’t even like him/her, we just spend 14 hours a day together so it’s hard not to repeat their name.
• Speaking of sex…when I have a window of opportunity, you need to drop everything. That window might close in 5 minutes and it might not come again until after LRW.
• And if I only last those 5 minutes, it’s no indication of my real performance ability– it’s just that I have to get back to the library.
Communication & Language:
• If you want me to actually read your email, label it with the name of one of my classes (civpro, con law, exam, etc).
• If you get a real live phone call consider yourself lucky, it’s the equivalent to spending a day together.
• Essentially we’re down to text messages and a booty call.
• I may talk funny and disproportionately use the words burden, rational, substantial, reasonable….and injury. See attached Glossary of Terms in the Index. Please know what LRW stands for and that a Tort is not edible but that I can’t explain exactly what it means either.
• Please download the attached LRW schedule into your PDA. Circle those days in your calendar and know that the 7 days preceding I will turn into a psychopath.
• My sense of humor might seem a bit warped because I can now joke about murder, rape, euthanasia, and sexual harassment. It’s really a sign of maturity and nothing else, but you might not understand.
• Know my professor’s names, nicknames, idiosyncrasies, and physical endowments or abnormalities. It’s not strange, but funny that I comment on their genitals, facial hair, boxing ability, or how they’d look naked. I have to sit and watch them everyday, what else would you start thinking about? Nod when I begin to channel them, and if you can mimic them back – even better.
Support:
• Don’t ever, I repeat EVER, try to encourage me by using the word ‘fine’ in any iteration. I.e. “I’m sure you’ll/it/everything will do/be fine” is prohibited. o Instead, when I am complaining or crying, remind me how incredibly hard this is and that you can’t believe how I am able to make it, the only answer is that I have superhuman strengths and therefore I deserve mad props. And tell me I am going to be an excellent lawyer.
• I have no idea what is going on in the outside world so I might sound a little ignorant when we’re talking with your parents. Please don’t make me feel worse – just whisper a few current events nuggets into my ear, I can make up the rest. Remember, I’m a lawyer.
• Gifts you ask? Food, food, and food. Preferably of the hot-meal variety - please no granola bars, any bars, sandwiches, pizza, or 85c cookies. Or you can send me an assistant who will do things for me that a normal person has time for like: laundry, taking out the garbage, paying my bills, changing my sheets, reminding me to shower…
• On the subject of gifts - you won’t be getting anything for a while, and thank you for understanding that I have forgotten your birthday and Christmas. For the next 3 years. Valentine’s Day – not a chance, it’s a made up holiday anyway.
Aesthetics:
• I am well aware that I look like crap on a stick. Just wait ‘til May.o And don’t remind me. Instead of telling me I look really tired, try this: “You look like you really could use a massage, here – put your feet up”.
• When we first met I know you probably liked my fresh, youthful baby face. Learn to embrace the new rugged, creased, homeless-man at times look.
• My shower and primp frequency might not be where it used to be. And around those circled LRW days in your calendar, it will be close to zero.• I will brush my teeth though - for me that is ‘dressing up’.

MERRRRRYYYYYY....wait..it's not Christmas yet
Dave and I have been very excited for the Holidays!
We had everyone (I mean 12ish people) in his immediate family over yesterday..plus my dad and his fiance (who he will never marry) for our first Thanksgiving Dinner.
It went off...without a hitch....not so much! As soon as Dave's dad walked in *the first guests to arrive were his mom, dad and grandmother* he dropped the dessert. His mom made a truffle...layered with ...
That is where I wrote to....that is where I tried to continue from at least four or five times. I am just not in the mood to finish .... I will tell you that the desserts were fine, the family was fine, Dave was anxious, and welll....everything was fine.
I bought Dave a tv for Christmas, a tv in which he is convinced that there is something wrong with the sound and now wants to bring back. And he can not find the receipt, but that is my fault.
I made an appt with the NEW RE...from the same Boston Hospital, but they are going to be at a different hospital near my house....so I do not have to drive down to Boston....I can literally drive 15 minutes from my door and be there! The RE is there every Thursday and one other day...but Thursdays will work for us. SO we have an appointment on the 21st for a consultation, and hopefully starting on Clomid (they also have me on a cancellation list, so I may be in sooner).
But that is it. Sorry about not posting, and being in a bad mood. I just hate when I get yelled at for things that I didn't do.
OH and don't even get me started with people at my school. Lets just say "SUCK IT UP" and if you need to be a child....and act like a child....GET OUT OF LAW SCHOOL....that is all....

Not Me Monday.....
I have NOT been frustrated with friends for blowing me off. I mean, I don't mind if you don't want to hang out....but can you let me know so I make other plans? Seriously? It is just common courtesy! It is not like I really needed plans for Friday night...but if you need to break them....PLEASE GOD let me know....so I know NOT to wait around!
I have NOT been feeling anxious about babies....it is not like I have been subjecting myself to pregnant people....or two....or everyone I know that is pregnant. I did NOT get jealous that the two preggos (that I always invite together, not separately) made plans that did not include me....awesome.....
I have NOT been feeling conflicted with the whole pregnancy thing. I do want a baby. I do want to have a family. But I am so worried about everything. I know I was on a "break" from trying in Aug,Sept,Oct....but now we have been trying without fertility drugs....and if AF doesn't show the first week of December....then we obviously have to test! BUT is it wrong NOT to feel conflicted? UGHHH....it is such a tough subject for so many...
I have NOT been getting ready for my Thanksgiving Dinner @ my own house....I have NOT spent tons of money at Wal-Mart and Target to make sure that everything is perfect....and I did NOT invited 15 people....
FEW....that was a lot of "Nots"....I hope you enjoyed! I can't wait to read everyone else's NOT ME posts!! OH and I won an AWARD! :) I will post about it tomorrow! I now have to go and NOT study for my LawSchool Finals....DAMN finals!

A little more
I have been struggling with a lot lately. Don't get me wrong. I am happy where I am. I am finally going forward in my life.
I am 24, happily married, doing well in my first semester in law school. BUT I still feel like I am missing out on so much.
Yesterday I visited with a freind who had a baby last January. I was due last January. I asked her about her daughters birthday party, etc and she then asked me some really though questions. I never have been asked how I am doing, really doing. And well, I am not good. She asked if I think about the baby, and all I could say was yes, every day...all day.
She said that it must be hard to go and be there and hold her baby, but I told the truth. It wasn't that bad. That her baby is not my baby. It is hers. And I told her that it is good for me to move forward in life. But I ocassionally look back. She asked me if I kept all my pictures (sonograms), and I told her the truth, yes, I still have them all. They are in a box in the closet of the room that was supposed to be decorated as a nursery right now. I still have the album on my facebook as well, I just can not bring myself to delete the pictures. If I could just hit delete and have the hurt go away I would. But it is still here.
Even when I am watching a movie.."UP" for instance....I was with a few people and their children watching the movie. The first scenes show the life of the couple....growing old together. And they loose a baby. It was as if I was the elephant in the room. They all looked at me, and didn't know what to say, think or do.
So yes, I am reminded every day. When I get on the scale and see that I am loosing so much weight, I think...wow...I would be sooo much heavier if I was 8 months pregnant. My life would be so much different right now. And I honestly can say that I would be so much happier. December would bring happiness, not sadness. I honestly can say that on the 21st, I will be a wreck...a complete and total wreck. I was so proud of myself last year in January...but I think it is because I never got to see/hear/meet the baby. I did however see/feel/hear my last baby...and I am still heartbroken.
I have new goals, and I am looking forward to them. But like I said...it's hard to not look back and wish that things were different, that things turned out differently.
