Weekend Roundup

On Saturday, I went to dinner with some friends of mine who are going to be graduating at the end of next semester. I'm obviously jealous that they are so close to being done.

However, when I asked them what they planned to do when they graduate, since neither of them have held a substantive job in over two years, they both kind of seemed worried. They both used to work full time, like me, while attending school but quit their jobs when the going got tough. Neither one has a job lined up upon graduation, legal or otherwise.

One friend seemed willing to take anything, legal or not, so she could continue to pay the rent. She's starting to look now.

The other friend kind of hoped someone would scrape something up for her through her networking. I asked her if she told her network that she's looking for work. She said no, that they all "knew" she was graduating soon and would probably help her out. That didn't sound very promising to me. She's also the one who isn't planning on taking a bar prep class because she doesn't have any money left.

On Sunday, I did my wifely duty by helping my husband take care of the leaves in the yard. Basically, my job was to trim all the perenials in the flower beds and to use the leaf blower on the lawn. All this left me with was a sore back and a nasty bee sting because apparently, bees don't like leaf blowers. I almost got stung a second time, but managed to get out of the way of one angry bee. I wonder if I blew away their nest?

Either way, my arm is red and massively inflamed today. Fortunately, I'm wearing a red shirt today so my arm matches my shirt.

I did manage to study Agency law this weekend, but only to the point where I got bored and took a nap. I'm just not into my classes this term.

There's always next term.
