Like T.I says..."Recognize I'm Back"

Did you miss me? Probably not. It's okay - I wouldn't miss me either. But I am back! A lot has happened since last we spoke. A quick rundown:

1) I got a new computer! My old computer started acting up, so I called Apple again, and starting putting some of my law school training to use. Needless to say, I think the customer service representative from Toronto didn't know what to do with me, so they just decided to replace my computer with a new one. A lesson for all of you looking to have apple replace your computer: if you aren't walking into the apple store with tears, you've already lost. I contend that running into the apple stores of Atlanta and New Orleans with tears streaming down my face is the only reason I got a new computer. Tears are like kryptonite to the "geniuses." They cannot deal with it.

2) I worked! Now, due to certain forms I signed at the beginning of the summer, and certain client privilege doctrines, I can't really talk about what I did. But oh boy...

3) My party crashing style finally got me in trouble. I had been crashing this one VIP tent at a weekly square music fest for a while, and I decided to try and sneak some beers out of the tent for my unlucky, unparty-crashing savvy coworkers. Well...my bag was searched on the way out...and...things got kind of tense. I tried to convince the guy that the 10+ Coors Light beers were for me. He said, "if they're for you, then drink them here, in the tent." Which I did. To prove a point. Needless to say, that evening ended with me hugging DJ Qualls, otherwise known as "that super skinny guy from the road-trip movies and also on that TNT show no one watches called Memphis Beat" and losing a shoe.

4) I moved back in with my parents for the summer. Yeah. For realz. I was forced to sleep in an insect infested room above my father's garage. My parents said that I needed to "spread my wings and finally fly." Never mind the fact that I lived in NYC for 2 years, or go to school 800miles away, or went to college in the northeast, or lived in Scotland for a year...but yeah, I guess they're right.

5) I started my 3rd (and *hopefully* final year) of Law School. It cannot come soon enough. But with the start of any new academic year comes a new class of terrible, and obnoxious students. I was out at the school sponsored social event (mistake #1) and this one 1L pushed past me and said, "excuse me ma'am." MA'AM. I am now "ma'am" age. Next time I see that kid, I'm going to push past HIM and say, "Excuse me, boy." See how he likes it. Also, what's wrong with these 1Ls? I want to ask them, "If someone advised you that a ship was about to sink, would you board it? No, right? THEN WHY DID YOU COME TO LAW SCHOOL?"
