Highlights in the Raw - August 28, 2007

Library basements do not become more amusing after five hours.

Forgetting to eat happens.

Never think you know a building. There are hidden wings.

Stairs that you believe to lead one place, do not. You end up on the wrong end of school, outside.

Classrooms that look decrepit, are.

If you wonder what can get done in an hour-long class, nothing will get done.

A law class in civil procedure can yield a made-up justice system as a result of your professor's exercise, the basis of which is what your peers refer to as a "decider".

If you wish to appeal the "decider's" decision, your peers suggest having a "super decider."

You cry.

For the first time in your life, your solution to a problem is the enacting of communism and a set of moral codes based loosely on the ten commandments.

Michelle suggests the removal of the coveting your neighbor's wife rule. You agree.

You submit to the will of your peers and keep your brilliance to yourself.

You cry.

You study again.

You go home.

You study again.

If your roommate ask you if the house is equipped with smoke-detectors as you cook on the stove, the smoke-detectors are bound to go off.

Our house has at least two smoke-detectors.

My life is no longer exciting. I need better highlights.

Thank you law school.



A classic note: A friend asked me how I stay excited and so far ahead of things. I answered with the following: I realized that in three years I will have clients. I pictured myself coming to me as a client, and it scared the daylights our of me. I now study hard.
