Yeah, WHY LP?! Why would you do that to yourself?!

BTW, I picked my classes (keep your fingers crossed that I can get into all of them--long story) for summer and fall, and I''m PSYCH-ed for my fall semester. I''ll tell you what classes I''m gonna take when I come back from the grocery store!!!!!!

(Seriously, I''m so excited!!!!)
 
Hopefully the economy has rebounded by then. I know lawyers are having a tough time right now.

Im sure you know this... but being a law student will kick your ass, and being a first year associate will kick it even harder.

I work at a law firm, and if there was ever any part of me that wanted to be a lawyer, that has been squashed. Those associates work more than anyone, I swear.

So yeah, make sure you''re really in it. It can''t be a passive desire, you have to be driven as crap to do law school.

Thats my PSA for now.

If that really is your passion though, that''s awesome. I don''t think I could ever handle it.
 
LP, I gotta hand it to you, that''s reaching for the stars all right. If you feel like it''s a ''calling,'' then you should go for it. You''re certainly capable.

For me? Law school is up there with solitary confinement. I''d go nuts. Reading books you don''t want to read all day long...no sleep. No life.

No way.
 
I know it''s a lot of work, but I would really love to be doing something that really required me to use my brain. On the plus side, I took the LSATs a couple of years ago so my score is still valid! Woo!
 
I say do it up LP!!!!

What kind of law do you think you might want to practice?

Freke, I''m really not sure--it seems like they all have their up sides and their down sides! Any recommendations as a child of a lawyer?
 
I''m going to post my classes because I''m so excited about them...

Summer:
Sociology of Gender
Adolescent Psychology
Eating Disorders

Fall:
Health Psychology
Belief in Weird Things
Feminine Sexuality
Consumer Behavior
Classic Traditions (ancient Greece)

As for Law, I think they all have their upsides and downsides. Family law is depressing most of the time, but when it''s good, it''s REALLY GOOD. And that is so rewarding. I don''t know a ton about other types, perhaps some lawyers/law students can chime in.

I have to say though that I definitely see you working with people.
 
Great courses Freke. I was a psych major in undergrad so I took some variation of quite a few of these. My favorites were: Human Sexuality

(seriously, it was an awesome class and our professor was not a prude so we had some very interesting, and heated, discussions!), Adolescent Psych (great course for interesting material), Sociology of Gender, Eating Disorders (I took Nutrition and Food Counseling and a lot of time was spent on eating disorders).

So all-in-all, looks good. Are you finished after the fall or do you have another year?
 
I''ll be finished in the fall! Yay! I think it''s a pretty awesome schedule to go out on, yeah?

I took Human Sexuality a while back. My prof looked like a total prude, but OMG she was over the top and had NO SHAME.

The other class I was considering taking was "Sexual Selection and Human Mating" but it had a time conflict with Health Psych and that''s a required class (also the only section of it--the jerks).

I''ve taken a LOT of cool classes (Cookies, Tarts and Mignardises anyone?) but I''m super excited about this fall. I wish summer was over so I could take those classes!

And I''m a good ol'' psych major. Gotta love it!

(My friend that''s graduating is jealous! Hahahahaha!!!)
 
Q for the lovies here who are gamers/enjoy playing video games;

do any of you play with your SO, and if so do you play well together (good team work) or wind up getting heated and mad(no team work)?
:)
 
"Belief in weird things"?? I would love to know what that included....
 
Random funny story...

So my SO''s birthday is coming up and I was asking him ideas of what he wanted. I think I''m just going to get him a gift certificate for a massage from a salon at home cause he said he''s never had one and always has wanted one. Anyway one of the other things he suggested was a kegging system (cause he brews his own beer). I asked how much that would cost, and then said that $200 was too much for this gift since I spent a lot on his christmas gift. His response:

"When do I get to start pulling the ''I spent a lot on your engagement ring so your gifts are gonna have to be smaller for awhile'' card?"

my response.... "Uh.. when you buy me an engagement ring!!!! DUH!"

What a dork. I am a 110% sure he has not bought a ring so don''t think thats behind this comment. He''s so silly sometimes. Hope you ladies thought that convo was a funny as I did.
 
SS: If I''m playing WITH him on a team, we do well together. But if we play against each other it''s bad... I''m a sore loser, and I''m really competitive. Blah.

Callisto: Haha, that''s funny. Trying to pull the e-ring card when he hasn''t even bought you one yet! Pshaw!!

On a side note... when FF and i were on our way to get sushi for dinner last night, we drove by the jeweler that is supposed to be doing our ring. They''re going out of business!!
39.gif
They''ve been in Ann Arbor for 50 years! We were both so bummed because we were so excited to work with them. Now we have to try and find another knowledgeable, trustworthy jeweler.

I mean, yeah... we''ll get to go to more jewelry stores, which is awesome, but we really liked that jeweler.

They''re having an up to 70% off sale, so we may go check out the goods!

It''s a sign to go check out the place before they close up shop. You might get some good deals Elle.

I was thinking that, but FF wanted something custom, so we wont have enough time to create anything.

And I''m too broke to spend money on jewelry. Blah.

Did you buy WoW yet??

I''ve been trying to get my survey done, so I was busy last night. Will do in the next couple of days though, no worries.

So when you say ''custom'' do you have any idea what he is planning on doing? I am getting very curious to see that diamond of yours set! It is going to be gorgeous!
 
Get on it, woman!

I have no idea what he wants to do with the setting. I''ve shown him several pieces that I really like, and he knows my style, and after that... well.. I''m out of the picture. He wants to do it himself.

I keep telling him he doesnt have to spend so much money on the setting, but he''s being stubborn! I''m a simply girl, and a simple solitaire setting works for me, but he refuses to hear that.
 
Bia

In your thread on BWW I posted vendor recommendations from my friend and someone else posted some recommendations also.

Thanks for the heads up mami. I just posted a response. You''re the best Fiery, really! From the bottom of my heart, THANKS. ((((((HUG)))))
 
Hmm...question for Elle. Can Bia play a BE if she doesn''t have Burning Crusade?
 
Well, first, what''s a BE (an elf?) and what is a burning crusade?

39.gif
I''m going to be left behind, I just know it!

No, she needs Burning Crusade.

If she buys the full game, she can get at 10 day free trial of Burning Crusade so she can make a Blood Elf.

Then if she likes it, she can buy burning crusade.

ETA: SOrry Bia, for talking as if you werent reading. There are expansion packs that have made the game different since the original WoW.

There is burning crusade, and wrath of the lich king. you dont need WOTLK, but you do need BC to play a blood elf.

Aww, sorry Bia! Another option is if you wanted to create a different race, Elle or I (or both) could roll a low level character and get you leveled up enough to venture into other parts of the world and then we could come and meet you with our Blood Elves. Or we could all be zombies! lol
 
She could roll an undead, but the BEs are just so much more sexy.

Then once she''s at our level, we can run the Undead quests with her, or bring her out to the Silvermoon city.

Okay, I am checking this out tonight. I have no idea what you guys are talking about!

Original WoW:

There are TWO Factions, Horde and Alliance.

LP and I play Horde, so you''ll be playing Horde. Horde has 5 Races:

Troll
Undead
Tauren
Orc
Blood Elf (BC)

Each Race has different Classes, but not all races can be all classes:

Hunter
Rogue
Warlock
Priest
Mage
Shaman
Druid
Paladin (BC)
Warrior
Death Knight (WOTLK)

You pick your race, class, and gender. Then you pick what your character looks like.

Until you have the expansion packs, you cant be Blood Elf, Paladin, or Death Knight.

I am a BE Mage, and LP is a BE Priest.
 
Just as an aside, rogues are really fun to play. I would totally recommend one.
 
Oblivion is a lot like this. In that RPG I was a dark elf but my skill set was Mage because I wanted a lot of magika!!!

I''m excited to do this. How much is it costing me tonight when I sign up?
 
It''s 20 bucks for the original game. If you want, one of us could invite you--it links the two accounts and makes it easier to level.
