The Classy* Winter Social/ Jenn Singh's Party




My good friend Jenn had me come over to meet her father who was visiting,

and enjoy some great cooking.





Here is Jenn and Jessie and Jenn's Father.

Jessie and Holly


After the dinner party, Holly and I headed towards the beach to attend our semi formal winter social. Holly and I went in a "classy theme" obviously*. Our social was held in a sweet location right between a dollar tree and some all night gym...Classy. And Here Holly and I are pictured with the awesome lights, that look like candles, and yes even flickered.


On the left is Stefano, the middle is our SBA president Chris Basler, and myself



I left my camera on the table, and when I came back Holly had taken pictures of herself and her best friends from her section.




Here are a couple of my friends. Beth is on the right and then Meagan is right next to her. Meagan is a professional thug doing a documentary on how New Jersey Gangsters integrate into law school life. Also the girl on the left is not kneeling down for the picture. (in case you wondered)

One last Classy Picture. Holly was hilarious and saved me from

an enjoyable night with my books...

I know all I post is pictures of me doing things other than studying, but I swear that is the norm!

Also another one of my favorite examples of classy...

The Best Mentor EVER!!

First of all a BIG thanks to my friend Jessie for introducing me to Jessica! I met her at Jessie's B-day party. Technically that was the second time we met. Here are Jenn Singh, Jessie Ward, and Jessica Edgell!


I believe this might be the the first time we met. Unfortunately she did have to introduce herself to me 3 times before it sunk in. I know, how disappointing!

She took me out on a "date" that her husband graciously allowed because we missed the Mentor/mentee social. She had mad important plans that night...something about an anniversary.

Jessica Posing for a picture!
Here she is as maverick at Halloween!

Jessica has been so helpful and encouraging! I am so thankful she happened to be walking by when I was filling out my application for a mentor and I was able to twist her arm into being mine!

Good Times at law school


When Midterms were over, everyone was ready for a break.

We all met up at Wild Wings to celebrate.


I have also been to several birthday parties.

Here we had a surprise party at D & Bs, which is like a

Chucky cheese for grown-ups.


Here Tom, Cody and Myself were playing some pirate cannon shooting game.

Cody and I are extremely focused, tom was able to multitask,

but I am not sure who is steering the ship.



Halloween was also a lot of fun! These are my friends Jessica, Jenn, Jessie, and Jashley.

(actually just Ashley, but it seemed like it should start with a j as well)



There are also several clubs at Florida Coastal. Here we were attending

an Italian dinner that was a lot of fun.

Also, as I am sure is no surprise, I am playing on a Volleyball League.

It is a great stress relief each week. So far we are 3-0. Unfortunately the playoffs are during

so that will probably not work real well for our team since we are all dedicated law school students! (Holly, Caitlin, Bruno, Stefano, Adam, Jessie, and myself)



This is Ashley and I. She is one of my best friends here,

and quite possibly one of the most dedicated sports fans I have ever met!

Other than her poor taste in Baseball teams (The Yankees), she is great!


Two more great friends! Bruno is from Brasil, and was the first friend

I made at FCSL. He introduced me to Jessie, who is a 3rd year law student, and she

graciously mingles with us lowly 1ls.

One last photo. Here are Tom and Erin. These two are so much fun and always make me laugh. Tom graciously listens to my never ending rants about Boise State, and Erin was kind enough to make me her number 1 back up plan. Actually I earned it in a arm wrestling match vs Dennis.

So far I am really enjoying law school. The education is exciting and challenging and the people are great. I wish I was closer to family back west, but the people here have made Florida a great place to live!

Fun In the Sun!

So I know I have menitoned that I study a lot,
but there has definitley been some realzxing occassionaly.


I have met some amazing people here at school!
One of them is my good friend Amber!
we have made it to the beach as much as possible!




My good friend "Counselor" Tom Mangan took me surfing, which is challenging to say the least. Somehow I didn't get a picture of him on this trip
