Absurd Singularity

I have to say, law school so far has done three things to me:
1) Made me hypersensitive to accidents and other personally damaging incidents ("Ooh... hey, that's contributory negligence!! I wonder if they could add trespassing and interference with chattels to that too...")
2) Destroyed my eating schedule and habits
("Ooh...Cheddar and Sour Cream Baked Lays! So what if it's 11:30pm???")
3) Destroyed my sleep schedule utterly
("Sleep?? Sleep is for the weak!!!! Now what was I talking about again?? Is this Torts or Civil Procedure?? It's Saturday??? Oh... what class is this and what is my name again??")

So, I have a few things going on in my life right now. Some positive, some negative. If we break them down:

Hello all!

Long time no post... I've been a bit busy though but here I am at last!

Some good news, actually really good news:

1) I got a job!!!

Unfortunately it is not a legal related job as I was hoping for but apparently it's almost impossible to find full time law clerk postions if you are a mere 1-L. (Should have thought of that but it was worth a try. The rejection letters were quite polite and nice, I must say. They all seemed to think I had a great background but there were "no openings compatible with your background at this time." Literally all of them said that too... Kinda weird actually.) Anyway, segue over... I am going to be working in the Department of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology for the section chief in the department who has a research lab working on gap junction proteins. (Don't worry if you don't know what those are... I am currently trying to figure that out myself.)
