Style Not Substance
I am all about flourless chocolate cakes reheated in the oven for about 10 minutes, or a chocolate souffle a la mode. Decadent and sinfully rich.
I talked to my Lawyering Skills professor today and she gave me some brilliant comments, that reinstated my hope of being capable of applying myself in some way in law. She said that my oral argument was very "impressive" and that I had a "silver tongue," that some of the things I said absolutely mesmerized her and the teaching assistants. Professor Oster said it would be very effective in oral advocacy; that I was very smooth and fluid; that my volume level was just right, that my posture and distance from the podium were great, and that I showed no signs of nervousness.
I was so incredibly flattered, and in the minute or so that this was being said to me, I felt like I was in "Stand and Deliver."
And then Professor Oster proceeded to detail the various points where I evaded the question, skirted around the issue, or appeared on the edge of total ignorance. OK, so I'm style, not substance. Versace, not Chanel. Martinis, not champagne. I can live with this.
My dad gave me 2 things this weekend: a bread machine and fax machine. Fresh bread and faxes, woo hoo!
