Confidentiality

So I am a talker... I know that statement surprises no one. But ever since coming to law school I have gotten weird about confidentiality. The vast majority of my life is an open book; if you want to know just ask. I have found out that is not the case with most people. I don't have any traumatic story where I reveled to someone that they were adopted (let my mom do that one to her hairdresser), but I think I've just been told so many times to keep things hush or confidential that I think I am repeat those words out of habit. Is this a good thing? Is it some subliminal professional responsibility thing where I am programed in order to be good at attorney-client confidentiality? Am I giving in to a society that is so overloaded with information that I find myself becoming a more private person?


Take this blog, I have been thinking about erasing my last name on my profile. (If you look and it's not there you know I have given in.) Well, maybe that's because this girl needs a J-O-B after graduation and supposedly firms are not huge fans of blogs that are not law related. Besides that.....I did have two stalkers in college.

About time....

So in the middle of my studying and writing a paper, of course, I will turn to any distraction possible! Why not start a blog? I have been considering it for some time and the peer pressure from my Chi Omega pledge class as well as friends reunited through Facebook has gotten the best of me.

So today is Thanksgiving Day! My family is only five hours away at the beach house in Pawleys Island, SC. Alas, I am home with my wonderful husband and the goal to write 7 pages of my ALWR (advanced legal writing and research assignment). Thankfully, my topic is interesting: why fashion does not have copyright protection. It is my way of bringing my two worlds together. 2 pages down....5 to go!
