I completed my first year of law school. I'm still in shock.
@Srtolar Worn off yet?
@DaveHiggins It has. I've been sleeping. I may have watched some ridiculously fluffy television. I can no longer be leisurely and lazy. I feel the need for activity.
Grades posted last night. I did better than I thought, but I will have to wait another week for the rankings. I'm hoping for an offer to join the Maritime Journal.
How have you been?
@Srtolar Yay for good grades. Do the rankings matter for anything, or are you just judging yourself against others?
I assume you mean the Tulane rather than Mercator Maritime Journal. Unless you are secretly a pirate.
I'm doing reasonably well. Currently working on a very short story (150-250 words) for a language training site, so as well as being a proper story it needs the structure and word choice to easy to translate into multiple languages but still complex enough to challenge a user.
@DaveHiggins Rankings matter with regards to law school journals. At my school, Loyola Uni New Orleans, the top 33% are invited to join the Maritime Journal, the top 20% are invited to Public Interest, and the top 10% get Law Review invitations. I know I didn't make the top 10, and Public Interest hasn't published the past couple of years.
Your story sounds as though it could challenge the creator as well!
@DaveHiggins I made the cutoff for the top 33%. Yay! I expect an email invitation to join the Loyola Maritime Journal and then some schedule juggling for the fall semester.
How did the story turn out?
@Srtolar Yay for you.
I created something that I liked; now I'm waiting to see if the language bods like it.
@Srtolar That makes sense.
The story is challenging; but fun. Think I've cracked it, but I want to let it brew for a couple of days so I can come back to it fresh.
