My only problem working with companies in a legal capacity is that I know Criminal Law. Not Business Law. and I don’t have a Law Degree. I have a bachelors in Criminal Justice… I want a law degree but that takes money! I have looked into business law and I just can’t get into it. However, I get crazy excited when we start discussing the different classifications between certain assault charges, drug charges, etc. and the nuances to them. Call me crazy but in high school, I bought a Penal Code and read that before bed because that way I would do better in school… Yeah… I was a closet nerd. lol

Also, I am loving the new words… like seriously, I have no idea what you guys were saying… But I want to! I wish Americans had some cool slang words that other people didn’t know but… nope. We are lame.

Oh Americans do too! The only reason I know you don’t know those words is this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnhzA9GrF1o
But you can feel like you have cool slang when you watch this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfGf9nk7RTI

@VickyAurea: Yep. Nosh is Yiddish for food or eat. “I am going nosh this cupcake.” or “Let’s go get some nosh.” Alot of words are yiddish and I didn’t even realize it until I met him!

@fiver: Oh, I love fantasy home-hunting! Even just a flat to rent for me and my SO, I’d love it. We’ve never lived in our own place without our friends before. I wanna choose a place to live and make it ours so badly!
