In Which I Get a Big Shiny Gold Star

Posted on December 17, 2008
span style="font-family: georgia;"I'm not sure if you've noticed, but law students like to cut ourselves some major slack during finals. In part, it is because this experience is span style="font-style: italic;"rough/span- stressful in a way that very few other experiences in our life have been so far...

In Which I Have A Tantrum, and Get Judged For It

Posted on December 16, 2008
Tonight, I got a phone call from the girl who works the shift before me at The Zoo. Apparently when our boss, said that our hours ?end before finals,? what she meant was ?Hours anywhere you don't work end before finals.? Which means that my shifts, out in the main building, are still on...

Thank you, Target Gurus

Dear Grand Poo-bahs and Most Rocking Buyers at Target,Remember when I pitched a big hissy fit about the No Booze on Sundays rule? And when I swore I was shopping at the Farmer's Market, forever and ever amen? Or when I pitched a big fit about the No Good Cheese to Be Found problem? I'm sorry, most reverent Target Powers...

Fun with Undergrads: In which we learn I am not really a "people person"

Posted on December 09, 2008
Oh my, oh my, oh my. Sometimes, I am ever-so-patient with the legions of undergraduates that insist upon populating my campus. Other times, not so much. While doing my token paper-pusher job for student services at The Zoo, I've rapidly decelerated from "Yeah! I heart the young 'uns! Let's mentor! Lollipops for everyone!" ...

You know what would make this go faster?

Funny Mean Friend (FMF)* just finished her Big Ole Exam of Awful. (What, you've never met Funny Mean Friend? Click away, my poor, unenlightened reader. Click away.)Thankfully, she has not been buried in a pile of literary errata, but is actually alive, well, and in recovery mode...

Good morning, shoppers!I've got a brief public service announcement for you all, courtesy of GE Money Bank, and their No Good Very Bad Customer Service team. I had a card with GE Money Bank.

Library wanking?

This post is not family friendly.My lovely, lovely laptop returned from the laptop hospital with more issues than I sent it off with, so I am once again back on a loaner laptop from the school. It still sucks.However, Loaner 2.0 sucks in new, more literal, ways that Loaner 1...

Sheer joy?

This morning, I re-discovered iTunes' "Genius" feature. Aptly named? I think so. It's better than Christmas!So, while you were gloomily staring out the window, ladies and gentleman, I was grooving to "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" in front of the dresser. Lord help us all, "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On" is up next...

Law School Roundup #149

Posted on November 30, 2008
Welcome to Law School Roundup # 149.It has been a big week in Blawgland. Turkey was eaten, green bean stories were told, and we all just generally ran amuck. Before we begin, let's all heave a collective sigh of relief that NaBloPoMo is over, shall we?Leaving out the green beans (which merit a roundup all their own) and the "this is just a post because I owe you a post for NaBloPoMoLaDoWhaHoDeeGo-whatever," here's this week's selection of posts from law students aspiring, recovering, and still slogging away:That's what she said?: Sometimes, vocabulary eludes us...

Law School Makes You Fat And Miserable.

Posted on November 18, 2008
Law school makes you fat.* There's really no other way around it.** 1Ls, revel in that tanned, lithe, undergraduate body of yours while you can, because winter is coming, and with it the body of a disgruntled beluga.Remember "outside"? Upperclassmen, you may have to focus for this exercise...

I Learned to Share in Kindergarten, Too.

Posted on November 18, 2008
So I'm sitting in the library, toodling away on my Evidence reading (I'm a toodler), when I notice that my lips are getting chapped. I reach over, pick up my handy-dandy Burts Bees, and take care of that problem. Good work, Nobody! You are a problem solver...

I love chicken, I love liver, Google, Google, please deliver!

Posted on November 12, 2008
As you know, I have a long and luscious history with dead animals. I can't help it- the gross just finds me. And it is icky. Because of my propensity to blog about things that are icky, every once in a while, someone finds this blog by googling "rotting mouse": a sad sign for them, me, and the blog...

I can alliterate.

Posted on November 12, 2008
Slowly but surely, the slovenly student sitting next to me slurps snot skyward, sneaking slimy, slithering, snot-slugs surreptitiously to his sinuses. No really, it's gross. Get a Kleenex.

Memo #13: I think you need to rethink your diagnosis

Posted on November 11, 2008
Dear Future Anna Nicole 1L:You really freaked me out today, with your talking about your doctors' visits. You were so flippant when your classmate complained about her difficulty staying alert. Did the good doctor actually prescribe you drugs "to make you focus" and "to keep you awake" so that "law school is easy now!"?I hope not...

Meh....meh, I say!

...or I would, if I could muster that sort of fervor. A litany of Monday complaints:1. I have a surprise admin due on Monday. Surprise! Admin! I hate you! Editor!2.
