law school
Am taking a break from briefing (a lot...) of cases.
Law school is interesting. You write a lot. Like, A LOT. Which is good, (I like writing). It also covers unusual topics (ie. criminal law: negligent homicide, crematoriums, and the like, as well as civil procedure: people trying a class action lawsuit, suing Burger King). It's like reading day for exams...except that reading day is every day.
The Socratic method...I usually raise my hand; maybe it comes with having been an only child, but its like I want to get noticed/want to show I've got the right answer/etc. Its working so far :)
My civpro professor is also a priest, and holds mass Wednesday at noon. lol. he began his class by announcing his religious mass/prayer schedule. It's sorta like Stone Ridge again, in an eerie yet oddly comforting familiarity sort of thing.
My contracts professor is a country music fan; he always begins class by showing a youTube clip of Kenny Chesney or whoever.
The property professor--he seems frightening, but potentially likeable. I think. (If you know the material, he's nice, but if you didn't do your homework he publicly embarrasses you in front of 70+ odd peers, and you never forget it--he did it to one guy and announced this guy was repeating his class--aka the guy failed it the 1st time, retook it and still forgot his hmwk. ouch!)
On a totally different tangent, two of my college friends got married. to each other. I'm so happy for them; I couldn't go to their wedding b/c of mandatory orientation. I am (I hate to admit this) also really, ridiculously envious. I wish I could get married right now, be happy, invite all my friends, and all that. I wish I didn't have to worry about money. I wish I never had to work multiple jobs over the summer that didn't have me going home till past 10 every night. I hate that I never had time during the summer to party or whatever. I wish....a lot of things. I contemplate what my life would be like if I were to get married right now. I don't know. If I were to get married right now, maybe I might feel pushed into a marriage I wasn't really ready for. That maybe I didn't explore the world enough.
But people make choices. And I made mine. I guess going to law school practically for free has its perks. I'm in Louisiana (an awesome city with a beautiful park, wonderful people). The classes are intriguing and I'm learning so many different things about the law.
I also learned one can't sue another for infliction of severe emotional distress w/o due cause. unrequited love not one of them. oh well.
