Production

Last night's season opener did not end with the result I had hoped for. Kevin Slowey better be ready to bring it when I'm there tomorrow.

Today I gave my final oral argument, effectively completing Legal Research and Writing I. The judges gave me some pretty intense questions, but what do you expect when you're trying to argue that it's okay for an attorney to sleep through part of a trial? Needless to say, a few verbal hiccups aside, it was successful. There's something about wearing a suit and arguing a case that makes you feel very lawyer-y. It actually was kind of fun. Probably a good sign, since this is the sort of crap I'm going to be doing for the next 40 years.

In addition, today I actually applied for a legal job. It's exceedingly unlikely that I will get it, since they want you to start on July 1, and I'm going to be gone in London until early August, but my legal research professor thought I should apply. So I did. The job is for a law clerk position with Target (yes, that Target). I would work in their legal department, helping to write case memorandums, research legal issues, draft some simple documents. It would be a sweet gig if I could get it, but like I said, extremely unlikely.

Oral argument is done. I took my socks off, turned the radio on, and maybe I'll go to HPB to celebrate. Tomorrow, I'll go sit with all the drunks in the college section at the Metrodome, have my dollar hot dog and my Summit, and watch Kevin Slowey toss a perfect game while the Twins become the first team in major league history to hit nine consecutive home runs. Sexy times.

*Correction - Anything positive I said about the Metrodome in my previous post, aside from the Twins' on the field success, please disregard. After watching the game last night from general admission, I've come to the conclusion that it is an irredeemable shithole. 2010 can't come soon enough.
