Simply Beautiful.

From a CNN article:

In an interview with CNN this summer, Forester did not hide her distaste for eventual Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London and New York.

Moving On.

I think I'm going to quit The Job tomorrow.

With 14 units and extracurriculars, I'm putting in more time than I did first year. And since I lack the fear, and the drive, to actually put in the time and effort to stay on top of my reading. I've already fallen close to a collective hundred pages behind. As my friend put it, "I'm declaring reading bankruptcy" and just cutting my losses. So, I'm cutting my losses. I just hope it doesn't fuck my reference, that'd be weak x 10. The Boss just hired two other law clerks last week, so I'm hoping he actually lets me quit clean-break tomorrow, no 2-week notice or any of that. I'm crossing the fingers.

I mean, not only do I have classes to read for, I have beers I want to drink, a girl I'd like to make out with, and a jog I'd like to take every now and then.

Do you know what I've gotten from law school so far? 2 years of education, 16 tattoos, and 25 pounds. Fuck. Yes, I need a jog.

Business Law Background

So school is back and suddenly three weeks have already passed by. I'm constantly regretting my decision to work and take classes, such is life.

I assumed the position of Co-Social Chair for the Business Law Association. My sole motivation was to be have a position of authority regarding the organizing of Business Law's big ass Fall BBQ. I had to provide a short bio of myself to post on their group board. Here is all I had to say:

____ has almost no background or experience in business per se. He worked in a factory for six years, a movie theater for one day, and now a law firm since May '08. ____ does not want to practice transactional law. Instead, he would like to some day own and operate his own business. That business could be a law practice or a bar, either is fine and neither have to be located in this country as long as he can have a Guinness tap installed within a short walking distance. That is ____'s definition of "taking care of business.
