I have been meaning to write about my crossing guard for a while. When I was little, I used to always make it a point to make friends with crossing guards because we saw them every day and it can't be a very nice job. I had one crossing guard who always wore way too much make-up, and I saw her one day when she wasn't wearing any and looked a little ( Read more... )

Oh dear oh dear, I do seem to be falling behind. Ok, time to conquer it all ( Read more... )

nothing makes me quite happier tan curling up in one of the school's armchairs in the sun of a Friday afternoon with one of my casebooks and falling asleep. It's something luxurious to have a whole two days where, while I do have to work, I don't have to KNOW anything. I have time. I can lounge. I'm being productive, as evidenced by this weighty ( Read more... )

So I've been burried deep in the evil land of the never-ending memo. To give you an idea, yesterday was an average Wednesday and a 10 page outline became 20 pages of... Well, I hope draft enough to get me through to the final being due next week. We shall see ( Read more... )

I occurs to me that I haven't really described what my average day is like so that you folks can get a general idea of what law school does... Every day the schedule is a little different. but I think Mondays and Wednesdays, being similar might be the best to go off of ( Read more... )

One of my colleagues posted on Facebook that she was going to participate in NaNoWriMo this month. And my initial reaction was "woman, you crazy SAUCE." Then I recalled. Writing keeps me sane. So.

CBS reported 215,000 people. I was one of them. Right in the middle. We couldn't hear or see much, obviously I was too short to see the megatron screens and the speakers kept going out. But I still felt like I was part of something calmly impressive. So many people, just being generally decent to one another. When the speakers went out, we cheered ( Read more... )

After spending the weekend in the library doing necessary things, my mind (predictably) decided it wasn't going to work for me anymore. I had a total blank out in Torts after I'd raised my hand and been called on >.< and then it took me five location changes and 3 hours to do four pages of homework for tomorrow. When I got home I genuinely intended ( Read more... )

So, I love my torts professor dearly. I'm sure I've mentioned his Frizzle-esque ties. His dry sense of humor. And the fact that he assigns this as part of a judgment about strict liability for a man who ran over another man's donkey in 1846 we read ( Read more... )
