So, I'm sitting here in class, and it has taken so long for ~2 hours to go by. Part of that is just that I'm so sick of fighting with stupid Lexis Nexis--it keeps screwing up my login, and I had to rush to complete my homework just before class using someone else's borrowed login, then our in-class exercise required the professor to log several of us in for the same issue. It's maddening, especially because the damn ID worked once. And the fee to use Lexis is included in the cost of the programme, so I'm really not getting my money's worth with it, but I have too much stress in my life to have to deal with calling Lexis and getting it fixed. I just don't feel like fighting my anxiety enough to bother. I also hate that it continues to highlight my completely ridiculous fear of having to talk to people on the phone. I really hope I can chuck that by the time I have to get an actual job, since talking to people on the phone is a large part of being a paralegal. Gah. Can I hit the pause button on life yet?

Okay, now we're going over the answers, which is actually really boring for me. Only an hour and a half left of class, hopefully less if she lets us go early. Also, it has been shown yet again that the American legal system is totally crap as regards women, and all men involved should just be drop-kicked back to the middle ages, since that's apparently where they want to be, anyway. It's actually part of the law that women have no rights over their own bodies as pertains to unborn children unless the child is illegitimate. Yes, that's right, modern law says we have virtually zero rights to our own reproductive organs, ladies! Welcome to modern slavery, since not having any say in how her reproductive organs were used were hallmarks of 17th-19th century slavery all over the world.

Anyway, I'm glad to be done with that. How is your life going, internet?
