The beat goes on and on and on …

I hope this isn't the beginning of a trend, but for finals last semester and for finals this semester Undergrad Neighbor has done something unintentionally, yet incredibly annoying. Last semester, the day before my Torts final, it was inviting his douchey, possibly hipster friends to talk about Picasso, smoke douchey herbal cigarettes, and scream like Howard Dean while running into walls. What could possibly be worse than that? One word, nerds: Drums. Related posts:

Since my last video post earlier last month, things in law school have gone from 0 m.p.h. to being able to make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. In other words: Son, this ish has picked up speed. Related posts:

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.

Law school laughs in low places

Sat, 16 Jan 2010 06:19:47 +0000

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:

By the Numbers: 1L Fall Semester

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:47:48 +0000

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:

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:

It is now less than a month before my first set of law school finals, and a mild panic has set in. Related posts:

To be Frank …

It’s hard to believe it, but I am at the halfway point of my first law school semester. Theoretically, I should be half as stressed as I would be during the final in December, but that is, sadly, not the case. Why? One word: Midterms. I really shouldn’t be. Of my five classes, the LRW memo “midterm” is 25 percent of the final grade and the Torts multiple choice midterm… Related posts:
