PARRRRTAY!

Hey LO11,

I sent an evite to you all via email but apparently it went to some of your trash folders. :( This Friday is my b'day and I'd love for you all to help me celebrate before the dreaded reading week begins! (Not to worry... my fellow 2Ls celebrated with me this same time last year and were glad to have one last night of fun before study-fest 2007.) Hope to see you there!!

For the first time in a long time...

Hey guys,

Congratulations. It's over; by or around now Erin is handing in the final copy of our paper. I know this is the first post in awhile, but it's the first time in awhile I've felt prepared enough to post something.

What I've seen you guys do over the past few days has been incredible. We only got that draft back on Sunday, and with three days to polish, correct, and, in a few cases, create we managed to pull together in an incredible way. I know I've probably bored you all enough by now with my psycho-babble about synergy, but today I saw us pull together in a way I'd never seen us pull together before; we've really managed to do as a group what none of us could do alone. Today I saw groups identify problems, decide together the course of action, and turn two hours worth of work into ten minutes of easy revisions. I don't know if some special ingredient got added (maybe the pressure), or if we're just growing as a group (which would be a shame since this is our last endeavor together), but great job guys. Sorry, I know I can get overly sentimental sometimes, but congratulations guys. We did it.

Faithfully yours,
Sam.

Spring Broken (but not our project!)

Hey guys, hope your breaks went well.

I just finished my time sheet, and WOW is it barren over the latter part of my break (beautiful). I expect yours to be just as empty, or you'll make me look like a lazy jerk (remind you of someone from Writing?)

Anyway, we had our crazy Tuesday meeting (silly co-op meeting) and now tomorrow is our weekly Thursday meeting. The Editing team will be returning the big draft doozy to us for our continued input and revision based upon their guidance. We're reaching the home stretch folks, so don't lose heart yet! Meeting tomorrow (Thursday) in Room 56 from 3:30-4:30, see you there.

Your faithful Team Blogger,
Sam.

Post-Draft II

Hey Guys!

Here comes another awesome update. We got draft II in, and nice job everyone on that! If you ever get down, just remember that our client didn't tell us everything we've done is wrong and that we can't do it right in time... those poor guys.

Anyway, don't forget we're meeting for one hour at lunch starting at 12:30 Tuesday, Feb. 19th at an undisclosed location (see Brandon or Kevin I guess?)

Then, we're meeting again on Thursday from 3:30-4:30 in our usual room 54! Hizzah. Don't forget to do the assignments we each have for next Thursday (see various authorities [i.e. Audrey's minutes] for those specific assignments).

Also, feel free to check out the new episodes of Super Scalia that have been posted. We've got Episode III: Public Policy Kills and Episodes IV & V: Trouble Is History Parts I & II. Some good fun to take your mind off the project, and it's all on Blackboard!

The Sacntuary is still up and checked regularly, so feel free to voice all concerns as anonymously as you want, and we (Rachel and Krystal) can try our best to fix em'.

Thanks guys, have a fun three-day weekend, and see you Tuesday!

Sam.

The Usual Suspects

Hey Guys!

I hope everyone's Super-Bowl Sundays were to your liking (I know mine was!); great party Rachel!

This Thursday will be our usual meeting of the minds from 3:30-5:30. Please, and I can't stress this enough, get on the phones, get on the computers, and get emailing! I want to see a LOT of happy faces this week when we discuss interviews and external primary sources. Other than that, keep working on your papers in conjunction with last week's decisions on a new paper format, so that draft 2 might actually be the draft 1 Enrich is looking for!

Other than that, don't forget to check out BlackBoard, some pretty exciting stuff is getting posted in the discussion board for our law office, including Tenzin's Weekly Assessments, Audrey's minutes, and the brand new series The Adventures of Super Scalia! Hope all three are to your liking, though some may be more fun than others.

Good luck with interviews and see you Thursday at 3:30 in Room 54!

Yours Sincerely,
Sam.

A New Era

Hey guys,

Great meeting last week! Picking jobs was hella-fun. Now, onto my duties as manager of the blog and blackboard (what are those again?) I guess I can start by reminding everyone about the meeting this thursday at 3:30 (our usual time) at room 54 (the usual place). See you there I guess!

(Wow that was easy),
Sam.
