Law School: The Epitome of Capitalism.

Ok- last post was not fun, but I wanted to write down my advice so I can reread at the end of the semester when I want to pull out my hair and release what I have to do in order to get good grades.

Ricard0 (my fiance) has been chilling down in State College area for the last couple of weeks while I started back in class mode. It has been nice to have him around- he has even done some of my grocery shopping and cooked me yummy food! Also, the company is nice too.

My law school opened a new building this semester, so I actually feel like I am in law school. Check out photo's at dsl.psu.edu. We have a court room, class rooms, clinics, snack bar, and a very swanky library. Although, I do think the outside does look like an airport.

I took Ricky around to show the place off and had him explain some of the green technologies used (special flooring, green roofs, and glass enclosures to name a few).  He made a very nice analogy while he walked around the building, since he saw more law students at work and have had time to listen to us talk to each other.

In Law School, like a capitalistic market, everyone is competing for the top.  Friendly associations are made, but willing sacrificed in order to get to the top. But like a corrupt capitalistic nation (one that doesn't follow the idea fully), Law School students seem to be willing not to compete with the best in order to better themselves, but instead to knock people down, so their work seems better in compromise.

All I have to say- I wish law students were slightly more friendly to work with! I watched legally blonde this weekend and realize, even though Elle Woods might be an exaggeration of a high maintenance woman- the cranky mean law students were not so much.

Oh well! I will keep being peachy in order to give law students a better name.

Ciao
