Today I took another step towards completing the necessary documents to enroll at Harvard Law School so I too can sue Little League for no good reason.
Today I finished filling out the medical waivers (now I hope that they go through) and mailed off the record of my shots. That means I only have two steps left!!!
1. Pay the Bill
2. Figure out how to get me and my stuff there
Lets hope for the best.
On a side note, click the link above, I am seriously bothered by this man using his position as a lawyer in such an abusive way, but I do not know what to do. I think this is a case of spread word that this guy is a skumbag, but seriously, grow up!

Forms Forms Forms
I know how law school trains us to be lawyers! They make us fill out lots of forms! Then, when we finish that, they make us fill out more forms.
Ok, so there really are not that many forms, but since I put everything off, it seems like a lot. Additionally, since I am in the process of changing doctors, filling out medical forms is more difficult than it should be.
So my forms are almost done, I have to send my medical records and I will be all set in terms of forms that need to be mailed.
Up next, waiver of insurance.
I am now having a freak out about being underprepared, which means I may start reading SOMETHING useful. We will see.

Picture Imperfect
With the July 15th deadline to have all of my documents into the law school quickly approaching, its about time that I get off my butt and start getting ready.
Today I did all of the things within my control to meet the Harvard pre-registration requirements. Today I took my passport photo, located my Dean's Certification, and filled out the necessary medical forms. At this point I still have a few things left, but nothing too difficult. Currently I must:
1. Continue to wait for my immunization records to arrive
2. Fill out the medical insurance waiver
3. Mail everything
Nothing too tough there.
In addition, today I finished Ivey Briefs by Martha Kimes. True to billing this book was a more optomistic and modern version of "1L" and after reading it, I wasn't left feeling scared about law school. At this point, I am starting to get excited. Sure there will be some oddness, but overall I am starting to get excited for the experience.
In all honesty, I am not sure what else I should be doing to prepare myself, I don't want to spend the summer reading Hornbooks (read: I won't spend the summer reading Hornbooks) and I don't know what else might help.

Prep
Every time I think about the experience that lies ahead of me, I cannot help but think I should be doing something more to prepare. I am about to go to one of the best law schools in the country and join several hundred of the smartest students in the nation in studying law. I know that some of my classmates are getting ready, reading Hornbooks, and preparing to study law. Then there is me. Work, softball, hang with friends, sleep.... talk about awsome prep for law school.
I know that schools suggest you relax the summer before law school, but it seems wrong to me to be doing nothing to get ready. Oh well, I guess I will see how things go, too late now.

Indroduction: From Goes to Went
When I first entered the world of blogging, I had one goal: To chronicle my journal from a small school frat boy to a law student. With this in mind, I started my first blog, Frat Boy Goes Legal. When I started blogging, my goal was to get into a low Tier 1 law school somewhere near home. Clearly somewhere between the creation of my old blog and now (right around July 2006 to be specific) something changed and I have now clearly taken a path I never could have predicted.
Once my admissions process finished, there did not appear to be any need to continue blogging and thus, Frat Boy Goes Legal no longer seemed to have a purpose.
Now, as I prepare to begin my adventures as a law student, it seems to be an opportune time to rejoin the blogging world. Given that this blog is intended to serve, at least in some way, as a continuation of the origional site, it only seems natural that this site be called "Went Legal."
Ideally, this blog will eventually offer several viewpoints and allow readers to follow the stories of several law students, but who knows what will happen.
With any luck I will find a few other current law students that are willing to post their thoughts, observations, or random content to make this blog more interesting, but even if I don't I hope this will serve as an interesting look into a middle class Midwestern Boy's journey to law school.
I hope this blog turns out to be a success as both a way for me to vent my random thoughts and for readers to be entertained and hopefully enlightened. I don't want to promise what the subject matter will be, because honestly I don't know yet, but my guess is that it will be fairly diverse and generally related to law, law school, jobs, economics, or other related areas of my personal interest. Who knows, I may even throw in a few random thoughts that popped up on the old blog.
