State of the Turtle
The family is good and for that I’m grateful.
The workload in the office is reasonable and more than enough to keep me busy. I’m juggling between drafting patent applications, office action responses, infringement analysis, and some research and opinion work. I take the patent bar toward the end of next month which has me trepidatious since I’ll need to wrap up a few projects quickly then go heads down to study.
This semester at school is cooking along. The lecture courses (property and contracts) are somewhat more interesting than last year. Although the legal writing course is only 2 credit hours on paper, in reality it’s more like 4-5. My trial brief was completed last week, and now I have a ton of research to do for my appellate brief and oral argument.
I haven’t been getting as much exercise as I’d like, but my back is feeling better, though still sore. The weather here has been brutal, both cold and snowy. I’m hoping that will all be done with in a couple of weeks. Winter is beyond old at this point.
