Why in the world do they throw us back into a full schedule of law school and then immediately give us the next Monday off? It plays with our minds. It screws with our sanity. They take away our lives, then give us a little piece of happiness which is then book-ended with another dose of law school. No sugar to help this medicine go down.
Tuesday is what the people who make all the decisions refer to as a "Legislative Monday." This simply means that they invoke a Monday schedule to make up for all the Mondays that are missed throughout the semester. Who really wants to unfairly rid ourselves of the full load of Mondays?
Monday is a one-class day. Property law was slated as the main event, and the readings for this class have become all-the-more boring and difficult. As interesting as it was reading about shooting and killing ducks, foxes and other animals, the present assignments regarding intellectual property (ie: patents, copyrights and trademarks) makes me want to cry. Definitely not my favorite area of law. At all.
I somehow made it through class without being called on. After class, I zoomed over to the dentist by my house to receive my yearly masochistic act (this time a root canal). After the root canal was complete, I drove back to school - mouth still numb and saliva most likely dripping onto my jacket, where it probably froze from the mind-boggling cold weather.
Upon arriving back at school, I sat in the library for the next five-to-six hours, waiting to interview my newest client. When 8:00 PM rolled around, I moved myself (via the wobbly legs I had neglected over the prior hours) to the law school foyer where I met Nelson and said client.
Our client may be the nicest man I will have the pleasure to serve (free of charge, that is). His believability is amazing - with every word that he says, you cannot help but understand it as the complete truth. He left us sympathizing with everything he says. Serving him pro-bono will most definitely be a pleasure, which is not often the case with clients who partake in free or provided services.
One more day down. Too many more to go.
Why, tomorrow is another very intense day.
