Apparently schools in Greene County, Georgia are going to be segregating students by sex (warning: video news link) next fall, from kindergarten through high school. It is an interesting approach to try to improve their test scores (thanks No Child Left Behind!). Somehow I doubt this will make a significant difference, but the parents interviewed ( Read more... )

This article on Yahoo! claims that studying with the TV is inefficient. Perhaps this is true as a general rule. But, I graduated very high in my class, and I made it a habit to do all of my law school homework (and often my exam studies) in front of the TV. So take THAT, scientists!

HURRAY!

I am done with school forever and ever. I turned in my last exam. Returned my law review keys. Sold all my books back. Emptied out my locker. Done. Finito. All that is left is graduation :)

Take home exams are the worst idea ever. Mine isn't due until Saturday afternoon, but I'd really like to finish it. I just can't seem to write more than a couple of sentences at a time before my concentration is shot.

I watched The O.C. for the first time in a while. Anna had what might be the worst hair extensions in history. Gross.

I am tired of making outlines for my exams. I finished my employment discrimination and international law outlines yesterday. My goal is to finish my trust and estates outline by tomorrow night.

I skipped work yesterday. It was brilliant. I watched two episodes of The Daily Show and took a 3 hour nap. My kittens were totally psyched to have me ( Read more... )

Watched the last 3 episodes of Doctor Who last night. So good. I don't think I'm that excited about the new doctor, but I'll watch and see. Christopher Eccleston was just so damn good, you know ( Read more... )

Oh christ. There's clearly construction going on either above or below my classroom. Drilling. Hammering. I'm sure there will be a jackhammer momentarily. Fucking ridiculous. At least it drowns out my growling stomach.

I finished all my homework for my 4 classes tomorrow, save 5 pages of reading for payment systems, this morning in my carrel. Apparently this makes me a dork. Whatever. I'm proud. And, this means I can do nothing all evening. Rock on, I say. I'm gonna make myself a quesadilla from last night's leftovers (I make damn good quesadillas, btw -- ( Read more... )
