Long rough weekend

NYBladeZ · 03-14-2010, 01:29 PM

Not that it is anything Z related but I have to type up my first 13 page appellate brief for law school this weekend. The research wasn't that bad but going through 300+ pages to find the few select lines that support your perspective is a PIA. Add to it the legal citations which are difficult to learn in the beginning. Right now I have about 50% done and it's due at 11pm tonight. It'll be done and I'll have the Mrs. proofread it for me but damn before it know it, it'll be monday and I'll have to go back to class.

I can sort of relate. I did not go your all-out Law School route, but while doubling in Accounting and Finance I had to do a ton of heavy law stuff... lots of writing... lots and lots and lots of writing... ugh.

Anyways, good luck. Law is definitely interesting so it's easier to make yourself focus than writing about something totally random.

Well I'm glad this weekend and the next one I don't have to do any Case Study for my Master in Aeronautical Science.

I was freaking busy the past two weekend doing the finals so I feel your pain!

So what was the subject? What supportive info did you find to finish the brief?

NYBladeZ · 03-15-2010, 12:15 AM

arguing the constitutionality of a suspcionless search program. Appellant made a motion to surpress under FCPL rule 12(b) motion was denied, he appealed. I'm a bit burnt out, going to finish reading con law and sleep.

Bro why are you whinging about studying? You are lucky you get to study

What about all our brothers and sisters over in iraq fighting the war, you think they would rather be back at home sitting on the couch reading a book like you or getting shot at with ak-47s and blown up every day, not to mention if they survive they are emotionally destroyed too

Cool, thanks for sharing...

I understand part of your point, however...

Some of them have the opportunity to study online and there are some colleges onsite that the soldiers can go to class within their Camp.

First off I wasn't whining, how about you sit down with 300 pages worth of research and work on a paper and lets see how excited you are. Yes, I am lucky for the position I'm in, it was hard to get here, harder to stay here, and will be hard to get out of here. I wouldn't compare it to anyone protecting our country, they protect my right to learn and study law so thanks.

I have friends in iraq at the moment and i really worry about them and their safety, i can see the veiled fear in their emails. When i read your thread i had just finished reading emails from my boys and felt like sharing my honest opinion. That is the great thing about where we live, we are free to express our opinions. Other places are not so lucky

It is funny tho that PapoZalsa told me to get the **** out of his forum all for having a differing opinion than his, luckily that train of thought is in the minority

i'm glad you agree with me bro and i do wish you luck in your studies

BTW, I'm minority too, so you confuse me there with your comment.

However, you should be up front (clear) with your replies without including things that were not related to the post at that time. Then later you posted about race too.

Now is that I understand part of your reply and reason.

I also have friends (former fellow soldiers) in Iraq, Afgan and other dangerous places around the world defending this country and I do worry about them too.

Anyway this is my last reply to you and by no means I was trying to offend you.
