Whatup dudes! Don’t worry Jonathan, you didn’t kill the blog… we’ve had some excellent, comprehensive posts lately… just talked ourselves out for a minute.
The recent life of Pat Scarlett:
Well, as much as I avoided it, I finally got a job. The folks said they were cutting me off over Christmas. Not b/c they were pissed off at me; it wasn’t a fight or anything; they were just like “you’re old enough, boy”. So I’m working at the South Carolina Bar. The name is misleading. Every attorney in the state is a member, that kinda bar. Maybe that doesn't clarify things. So I brief cases and edit articles for their weekly and monthly publications, among other things. And I got to sit in on a sweet case the other day where a adult entertainment entrepreneur divorced an ex-stripper (b/c she cheated on him; BIG surprise). She was hot.
Long story short, this is the busiest I’ve been, um, ever. I’m working 23 hours a week, taking 6 classes, plus reading for those classes, writing a 30-50 page paper (something I’ve NEVER done) this semester, editing for a journal 10 hours a week, and have a girlfriend – so about 70 hour work weeks. Yikes. Oh, just in case it gets back around, I'm not counting girlfriend time in "work week"
Oh, the biggest news: I’m applying to business school! There’s a joint degree program JD / IMBA (international masters in business), whereby I earn an MBA in just one extra year. Where did I get this idea?
Dad: “So, Liz (the g/f), what are you up to?”
Liz: “I’m trying to get into the IMBA program”
Dad: “Hey, Patrick, why don’t you do that”
Me: “Um, I don’t know, I…”
Liz: “You should do it too Patrick”
Dad: “Yeah Patrick, this could be a really good…”
Me: “Fine, I’ll take the GMAT next week”
So I took the test and killed it like Arnold kills henchmen in “Commando”. Hopefully they’ll give me money. And I get to live in a Europe for 8 months, and become fluent in some language.
Um, so I guess that's about it. No crazy nights recently. Things with Liz are going great, but no crazy news on that front. Valentine's day coming up, so I've got to work on not screwing that one up. Maybe I wont do like by buddy Swilley did one time, giving his girlfriend two VHS tapes as a Christmas present, "It" and "Weekend at Bernie's". That would be a bad idea.
Excellent posts everybody; sounds like everybody's doing great (except the Jetta). Hopefully I'll get to see you guys sometime this summer, or maybe I'll finally get back up to ND for a game (oh, let's be honest, I'd just come up for a football weekend, with game attendance optional). Hey, med school boys, lets hear what that's all about. You are noticeably absent. Anyways, miss all you guys and keep posting. Later!
Pat
