My schedule this semester involves 2 hours of excruciating boredom in business organizations followed by 2 hours of intense agony in commercial law. The latter course is designed, I believe, to weed out the sane, rational future lawyers from the ones who will specialize in commercial transactions, spiral into alcoholism and cocaine addiction, and ( Read more... )

Ran into the contractor down in the laundry room- he asked me if I figured out if I'm gonna be gone for spring break so they can replace my tile. I said yeah and told him the dates. I asked if the downstairs guy had been having more leakage, and he said not to his knowledge- but he also said the landlord was busy with tax season (apparently he's ( Read more... )

Dan put up my episode viewing guide. I just feel kind of special inside now. :D

Still no grades...except from the guy who teaches one course in addition to his full time job outside the school. Lazy teachers.

I cut all three of my classes today and spent the whole day playing Dungeon Siege 2. There was no real reason for this, I just didn't feel like doing anything. That makes 4 family law (I actually thought it was 3, then realized I was wrong, oops), 1 clinic, and 2 forensic. So that's that for the semester, really...no more skipping. I don't know ( Read more... )

Today in forensic evidence, we were talking about getting DNA evidence from fingerprints, and our professor brought up chimeras. Now most of you are probably familiar with the mythical chimera or the word in a general sense, but you probably don't all know what a human chimera is- I sure didn't ( Read more... )

You know, I've been thinking of myself as having been in school for 7 straight years, but really- I forgot about lower education. If you count that too, I have been in school continuously since I was 4 years old. Twenty years. No wonder I'm so goddamn sick of it.

I think I figured out my schedule for spring. It was suspiciously easy. I am taking Business Organizations, and I think Maryland Civil Procedure, not because I have any desire to do so, but because they appear on the bar. Ugh. I think I will also take advanced trial advocacy; I'm not sure how helpful that will be, but what the hell. Then, ( Read more... )

I feel more sane today. I did sleep last night without drugs, because I was so emotionally exhausted by all the crying I did. :p ( Read more... )

Probably the whole Rights of Crime Victims thing is less about thinking the project is a bad idea than it is about the stress and my inability to cope with it. I need to talk to victims, and I will have to do it eventually. But it's not easy for me, I can't just do things like that. Katie and Amy are going to teach me how they interview victims ( Read more... )

I just got back my CJ grade for the summer- I got a B. So I'm wondering how THAT happened, because the exam was almost painfully easy...and as for participation, shit, I did nothing BUT participate in that class. Soooo perhaps I will go over to the professor's office and ask him about it. Meh. If I got like a C in human rights, I will be ( Read more... )
