Week Three Fine'

I'm recovering from a long week of deadlines, i.e. multiple drop-dead deadlines are either fast approaching or have just passed as I type this.

To whit:

Applications for federal clerkships were due in the system and released to the federal judges (those who participate in the online OSCAR program) on Tuesday. The others are due in the next week. I had a motion to be filed on a case I'm working on that was due Wednesday. My tax professor seems to think that the best way to ensure class participation is to require daily, typed homework assignments (due on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday). My externship "statement of goals" was due on Thursday. The deadline for applying to the NM Court of Appeals (more clerkships) was today. I have a memo on another case due next Thursday. A shakedown payment, i.e. tuition is due to UNM on the 15th. And finally (for now), my application for the New Mexico Bar is due by Monday, September 11, COB.

Just to be clear, I'm not really complaining. Life is really good right now and only 11 more weeks to go.

Still, it does me good to detail my activities in the hope that some local bartender will take pity on me.

Dry, with two olives please.
