Play it cool, boy. Real cool.

After crossing my fingers through my September birthday and through Christmas in the hopes of receiving a Chapman Law sweatshirt, and subsequently being disappointed that I didn't get one (Boyfriend, I'm looking at you if you're reading this), I finally decided to bite the bullet and just buy one for myself.

Hypos in the Headlines: An un-Settling turn

Sometimes the headlines from today's newspapers rival the fascinating and, dare I say, exciting cases in my law school casebook. "But what could get more exciting than the parol evidence rule?" you exclaim. Check it out! No related posts.

I love this television set!

I am currently living on a law school budget, and, as such, my furniture and technology choices are often restricted to what I can find at WalMart, Target, the local Goodwill, or generous donations from the Parentals. That doesn't mean that I can't appreciate a lovely piece or appliance when I happen to see one. Like this television set, for example. No related posts.

Law school laughs in low places

One thing I've noticed since starting law school is that when there is something even remotely funny in a case or in what a law professor says, I laugh out loud, snicker, or, at the very least, giggle on the inside. This phenomenon had me giggling whenever I came across the words "duty" and "penal". And you can imagine the party in my head when I read about a faulty bunghole in Torts. Related posts:

Back to the Grind!

After three weeks of relaxing, I returned to the not-so-relaxing life of a 1L student on Monday. Call me crazy, but it felt good to be back. Prior to my return, grades had been posted, and I had outlined a plan of attack for the second semester of my 1L year. Related posts:

Happy Holidays, Dear Readers!

You may (or may not) have noticed my absence from this blawg in the past couple weeks since I took my last final. That's because the minute I uploaded my final test of the semester I checked out of neurotic law student in finals mode and checked into Blawgirl on vacay mode. Related posts:

By the Numbers: 1L Fall Semester

So here we are, kids. I am a little less than 24 hours away from taking my first law school final. It's been a heck of a ride, and I know that it will only get harder from here. I also know, however, that it will get a bit more tolerable once I know what is expected of me during these exams. Still, that is little comfort when tomorrow's Torts exam determines 95 percent of my grade for the semester. And the professors are required to curve the grades, which means you are graded against your fellow class members. Gulp.

But seeing where I've been also makes me feel a smidgen of accomplishment. If you're a fellow 1L, you should be proud of yourself too! Related posts:

The police will hypnotize you

For some strange reason, I feel more compelled to post to this blog during this week before finals than I did during the course of the semester. Maybe it's the guilt of not writing that's catching up to me, or just general avoidance of my casebooks, class notes/outlines and commercial outlines, but here I am. It could also be the fact that my Undergrad Neighbor, a student at a local university, decided to invite his noisy friends over to his place, which I share a wall with. Dudes, I haven't met any of you, but you all sound like complete turds. Related posts:
