Weekends Rock...When they are 3 days long

Yes indeed, no Friday class means I'm out for the weekend on Thursday afternoons. Pretty sweet deal, even though App Ad will give me more than enough to do over the weekends. Oh and interviewing lol. Beazley appears to be the same after skimming her textbook as she was last year in legal writing...so h opefully I can get on the right foot again with her.

I'm really writing to say wow about my friends. I'm helping my best friend and best man on Monday set up for proposing to his girlfriend. This right on the heels of the only other non-married person in our small friend group proposing last week to his girl. My wedding is contagious! I'm happy for him though, so hopefully the dream evening goes as planned and I can help out as he wishes. Least I can do after all he did for me this year.

Got 7 interviews out of 17 signups in regular OCI. All of them from September 8 to September 14, and a couple I figur eI have a good chance with since I got a good repertoire with both firms as a 1L. Not that it matters all that much, as I really want the two firms I already have callbacks from.

The best news of the night was watching the Reds knock off the Giants in the first game of a 10 game west coast trip. Usually if we go on this long of a road trip out west while the Cardinals stay home for 9 games...I would say no brainer they gain ground. But the way the Cardinals have been playing the last two weeks (2-7 against teams other than Cincinnati), I do not know if that is the case. The win tonight tied up the Central division, and it gives us a chance to lead the division late in the year for the first time in ages. I so wish they make the playoffs so I can finally go see a playoff game (I refuse to go unless the Reds play). If we win the divison instead of the Wild Card which we have somehow held onto for 2 months, so much the better as we will not have to play the Mets in the first round. I'd much rather take my chances in the NLCS against them than right off the bat, and if the Cardinals were the wild card they might stand a good chance. Still a long time until the end of the season, but the last 1.5 months have not knocked us out so I finally have realistic hopes for the playoffs for the first time since 1995 (1999 technically, but that was a one-game playoff for the wild card against the Mets and we lost).

This weekend is the final one before college football. I cannot wait, and this means I can start writing again. My articles are the anchor of 6 writers (4 article writers) on southerncollegesports.com and my articles will go up on Thursdays if you want to read them.
