MLK win

Civil rights are cool. So is having the day off. MLK rules.

Procrastination

I know that my assignment for the law journal is due Sunday. But I cannot for the life of me make myself get started. I have seriously refreshed facebook like 30 times, hoping that someone will post something I can use as a distraction. I have watched Millionaire Matchmaker (don't judge me). I have voluntarily unloaded the dishwasher.

Please, someone, make me start working.

Civilians :)

My sister-in-law after I described a case I am working on:

I see!

collecting... evidence?

witnesses .... affidavits?!

just using all the legal terms I know.

torts.

I like this blog, and I like this post:

Great.

Apparently I have a professor who cold calls students. I forgot this happens in law school. Does this mean I need to do more than stare at the pages of the text book when I am "reading?" When I am called on, can I just respond that I am a 3L and get back to napping? So many questions, so few answers...

Preparation

This is the first semester since 1L year I've had classes on Friday, and so far I am not liking it. The class doesn't start until 1:30, so I've spent my entire morning lamenting my bad fortune and surfing the web instead of getting prepared. You know, just general knowledge to get me up to snuff for the international litigation class. Websites about cats who love cheeseburgers, websites about TV stands, websites about why the cookies I bake keep coming out totally flat.

I should be totally ready for intense questioning about international issues come this afternoon.

So long, winter break!

Back to class today. All I had was employment discrimination. Some crazy kid brought up Hasidim and Leviticus and said he'd like to see more people wearing corn rows, so it should be an interesting semester. And by interesting, I mean I hope I go deaf. Soon.
