Personal Update

by Marissa on 2 February 2006

Good, and increasingly busy. That’s how things are going right now. I’m working at a law firm (my landlord’s) for extra cash, so I’ve got a research project for that and I’m filling in for one of his assistants this month as well. I’ve also gotten my first assignment for the honors practicum (fancied up [...]

Behind the Curtain

by Marissa on 27 January 2006

I realized that I haven’t posted anything “personal” for a couple of days, deferring instead to the blogger’s favorite tool: linking to and expounding on stuff found on other sites. This probably isn’t incredibly disappointing, I imagine, as nothing really earthshaking has occurred in the past few days that would make any of my readers [...]

Breakin’: Winter Break Boogaloo

by Marissa on 20 December 2005

My finals came to a screeching and welcome halt last Thursday afternoon. I remained in Valpo on Friday so I could celebrate the holidays (“Happy Chrismahanakwanzakah, N8y!”) with Nathan, Katie, and Mike. We had our little holiday pizza party & gift exchange on Friday evening, and of course, it was so much fun. Highlights include [...]

Great News from The Working World

by Marissa on 2 November 2005

I received an email today from The Firm (yes indeed, the I can’t wait to litigate with that team! job)… and I got a payraise. Seriously. I don’t start there until September, 2006, but I got a payraise. Effective January 1, 2006, they are hiking up their associates’ starting salaries, making them the highest-starting-salary firm [...]

A Week In The Life…

by Marissa on 11 October 2005

This past week has been busy. (Of course, do you know anyone who wouldn’t say that if asked about the busy-ness of their previous week? Do you actually know anyone who would respond, “I dunno. I didn’t do a darn thing, I wasn’t busy, and I had all the free time I could handle.”) So [...]

The Week In Review

by Marissa on 26 August 2005

School is back in full-swing, as evidenced by my lack of posting for the past week! Let not my absence suggest that things are going badly, though. On the contrary, I continue to waltz and frolic happily on Cloud 9. I wake up each morning feeling content, and I go to bed feeling at peace. [...]

The Last Real Day of Summer Break

by Marissa on 17 August 2005

ON THE AGENDA: Today is my last actual day of summer break, which is my last actual summer break ever. Wild. Tomorrow I have all-day law review orientation, followed by a pizza & bowling get-together for law review that evening. Friday entails an all-day TA orientation, but I only plan on attending the morning portion [...]
