I know I have no readers yet, but I expect I will at some point, so if you guys ever get here, here's the basics of what you need to know:

About me: I'm in my 20s, I'm in law school, and I go to a top-15, Ivy League-style, American law school. The shorthand I'll use is HYS (Harvard-Yale-Stanford, the big three, and the legal-blog-jargon used to describe the type of school that I attend). I grew up blue-collar in the northeastern US, went to an extremely large, urban, socioeconomically-mixed university for undergrad, and am now in Ivy League hell with lots of sorority/fraternity types, prep school/trust fund babies, and assorted others who wear outfits on a single day that often cost more than a month's worth of my rent. They are obsessed with law review, and name recognition, and who will be working at the best firm for this summer, and every other stereotypical thing you can think up about an HYS-type law school. I'm less than enamored with the life, although I'm going to take what I can get out of having an HYS degree.

What you can expect: Lots of acronyms. No names. Lots of stories about current, past, and future boyfriends. Lots of stories about why my best friends rock, why the guys in my life do not rock, and how much of a misfit I feel like at school. Excellent spelling and punctuation. Moderately acceptable grammer. Attempts at humor and sarcasm that may or may not succeed. Digressions about weight loss and my success or lack thereof at dieting and exercising. Stories from the two - yes two - part-time jobs I work to afford my education.

So here goes. Welcome. Enjoy.
