First Hello

My first posting is simply a "hello". I wanted to tell my closest friends and family what's happening in my life as I venture into the world of legalese and struggle against odds as a legal student.

My published adventure will probably consist of classroom experiences, thoughtful and thoughtless dialogues with peers, and anything else that might be of some interest to those dear to me. In this way I figure that you can witness my personal growth without me having to repeat my stories, or try and explain the ways that I feel I've grown. Instead, watch, witness, and please drink to me when you're out having a good time and I'm in DC struggling to wade through the jargon in my legal books and replaying lectures in my head until I can repeat them in reverse.

If you can't figure out why I have such a ridiculous title for my blog, then you probably are not my closest friend. Essentially, I recognize that I am a traditionally type B personality. I will be fighting against the current, striving against a group of people who are predominantly going to be type A people for grades, internships, and futures. Don't fret though, I am adaptable and confident.

If you read, thanks. I appreciate you guys more than you know. After all, for those times when I can't be home for birthdays, yours or your newborns', you understand the reason. These are my adventures in School. These are my adventures in Washington. These coming accounts are the complaints, the courses, and the accomplishments of your countenance.


PS. I like lists. It's the humor side of me, it's the result of a lifetime of the classic joke being set up in threes, it's the absurdity that was drilled into me by many evenings watching the Dick Van Dyke Show.

PPS. Sterling was right, LP in DC was a good name for the blog, so that's the address, LPNDC.blogspot.com. Maybe I'll change the official name later.
