Friday Drive-by #3
Posted by T. Greg Doucette on Oct 2, 2009 in Friday Drive-by | Subscribe
Maybe it’s because I like my alma mater, maybe it’s because I was born and raised in the South, or maybe it’s just because I’m a guy — while most of my classmates love Fridays because it means the academic week is over, I love Fridays because it means college football tomorrow 
So with another week behind us and my brain switched into football mode, here’s a handful of links to stuff I used to kill time in LRA 
- Sherpa on Scalia — I’m amused so many people who dislike the Justice’s opinions agree with him on this issue, and I generally like the guy’s opinions but think he’s completely, totally, and irrefutably wrong here (Fight the Hypo)
- Jansen offering up some excellent tips on making it through 1L year (No634)
- John dovetails with some of his own, especially #1 (Fearfully Optimistic)
- And Mariel reminding everyone to keep their head up (HATE is easy…love takes COURAGE)
- One of Huma’s Business Casual Superstar selections — linked not because I could ever actually pull off this outfit, but because of the XKCD comic at the bottom (The Reasonably Prudent Law Student)
- Some of Soleil’s thoughts on men1 (The Divine Details)
- The Bitter Lawyer likes lists — this is one you probably shouldn’t read near classmates (The Bitter Lawyer)
- Finally, from the selection of non-law time diversions, for some reason I’m just now hearing Eminem’s response track re Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. Hilarious. (YouTube)
Have a great weekend folks!
- Most of us aren’t that bad, you ladies just tend to fall for the crazy ones

Hah! I’ve linked to two of the same articles (Dennis’s and Sherpa’s) in my weekly list, too! Great minds find great posts.
Also? Love XKCD. :-D How crushingly sad that the cartoon I posted is true for both sides of the gender equation. :-P Clearly, we all fail.
Wow, you must really hate this class…
Epic fail – how did I not know about your blog?! I’m adding you to my list of fellow 1Ls. I hope everything is going well for you
[and xkcd is amazing]
@Huma: Agreed x2
@JJC: You have noooo idea…
@Mariel: Thank you
I’ve been perfectly fine cruising under the radar since this whole thing started — it was basically just a window in my life for the folks I left in other cities to peek into, but then I happened to stumble across a bunch of other awesome law ppl in the process 
Talk about falling for the crazy ones! I’ve had guy friends who stayed with women who hit them, threw things at them, got them fired, all sorts of crazy…
