I was trying to prove the point that Americans spend a shitload of time at work by doing the following math. Granted, a great deal of our time is spent sleeping, showering, and eating...but still, about 18% of an average American's year in 2007 was spent at work. That really doesn't sound like all that much, really ( Read more... )

I have a procrastination problem, as many (if not all) of you know. This entry very well may merely be another method in that procrastination from writing a paper that I should have been working on all semester, yet have barely begun, which is due on Monday. Oh, and it's 30 pages long and on a topic that I haven't researched very much as of yet ( Read more... )

I totally forgot to do an assignment for my 2PM class today. It was a very simple and short assignment that took me 20 minutes to do, but I just forgot to put the work into a MS Word document and hand it in! I'm a freaking idiot.

I have to get up at 3:30am, as I am signed up to be an official Democratic Party Poll Watcher in Brooklyn (86th Street and 4th Ave.--FAR from where I live) and the polls open at 6:00am, requiring me to be there at 5:30am, leave the house at 4:30am (to get gas and a parking spot), get up at 3:30am (to shower and put on my spiffy Poll- ( Read more... )

So, law school starts back up tomorrow... two more years, four more semesters. Hopefully, this year will be better (more interesting) than last. I think it will be, though, as I am actually looking forward to my classes! The fact that school is starting is very much helped by the fact that I only have one class tomorrow, and then a three day ( Read more... )

I wrote an e-mail to my Constitutional Law professor about my thoughts on the recent Supreme Court decision on a DC gun control law. I thought that y'all might be interested in reading my two cents. Here's the body of the e-mail, cut and pasted ( Read more... )
