Phi Alpha Delta

Today I joined Phi Alpha Delta, one of the two legal fraternities at my law school. If I'm being honest, I don't really know what it's all about. I do know, however, that it's a fun way to make new friends and participate in fun events during my years here. If it helps with job connections after graduation, that's not so bad either! ;) I didn't have any type of greek life during undergrad, so this is a new exciting chapter for me!

I put my name in to be the new chair of the Philanthropy committee, which is probably getting myself in over my head. We'll see how that goes. It's an appointed position so I might not even get it since I'm a 1L. If I do get it, I'll just have to find the time to do it well. Something I'm learning more and more in law school is that there's no time to sit around and mope that there aren't enough hours in the day. You either do what you have to do to the best of your ability and possibly feel wiped out at the end of the day, or you don't do much at all. I guess I would take being busy and wiped out over being bored, any day.

Are any of you members of PAD at your law school? Do you know members from other schools? I'd love to hear what you have to say about it. Be honest, I want to know what I'm getting involved with here :)

In Honor of Autumn...

Apple picking is for sure one of my favorite fall activities! Here is a picture of C and I last year, apple picking in upstate new york where he lives :)



Have a wonderful day!

Jack Wills, Why Must You Taunt Me So?

Is this not the most perfect toggle coat you have ever laid eyes on? Oh, to be done with law school and onto my real life, where $350 outwear purchases are totally fine and I get so spend more time outside than the 30 seconds it takes to walk from my car to the law school building each morning and afternoon.

Sigh.

Tonight I am catching up on my TV shows from the week. Yes, I am officially an old lady because I just referred to "my" tv shows. I might as well just take the plunge and call them "my programs." Anywayyyy, at 8:00 I have Melrose Place and at 9:00 there's Beautiful Life, the new Mischa Barton show. I haven't yet committed to The Beautiful Life, but we'll see. Did anyone catch it this week?



The real reason I'm excited about TV tonight is the premiere of Curb Your Enthusiasm. That show absolutely cracks me up. If you are a Seinfeld fan you will love Curb. Tonight starts season 7, but if you haven't been watching all along I would definitely recommend buying the DVDs.

We're also checking out HBO's new show Bored to Death with Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifianakis (the guy from The Hangover!) Not sure what to expect from this one but I'll give it a shot. HBO doesn't usually let me down...

Megan Fox Does it Again...

I don't usually like to post about celebrity gossip and/or ranting about a celebrity that I hate, but today I must make an exception. Just a few months after Megan Fox admitted that she "just stopped eating" in order to lose weight for the Transformers sequel, Fox has made the following brilliant statement in Rolling Stone:

"Yeah," she replied when asked if she's ever cut herself. "But I don't want to elaborate. I would never call myself a cutter. Girls go through different phases when they're growing up, when they're miserable and do different things, whether it's an eating disorder or they dabble in cutting."

Let me just see if I understood her on that one. So it's totally normal to cut yourself occasionally, but not to call yourself a cutter? Makes sense. Does this crazy bitch not realize that there are young girls out there hanging on every word she says? I think she seriously needs to get her hands on a good publicist before she does any more damage. Just for the sake of amusement, let's take a look at a few more gems shared by Megan:

- To Total Film UK, when asked what she would say to Megatron to keep him from destroying the world: “I’d barter with him, and say instead of the entire planet, can you just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, bible-beating people in Middle America?”

- To Esquire, on her sexuality: "I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite. I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man."
