Deep Thoughts From George McFly

Dont go to office hours with your strict Con Law teacher if you only have 3 questions. And when he starts doing busywork while you are shuffling your papers looking for more things to ask him, just sneak quietly out the door and forget you ever went to his office...Especially a week after standing him up for the first appointment.

My stupid thoughts and why you should send me money

Picked up a juice on my study break. Says its 100% juice. First ingredient is water. Damn Lawyers.

If you could dream like this, you would feel great too.

I sit here and daydream. I should be looking at school stuff but I cant help but stare off into the clouds. Two weeks until finals. Two weeks until life changes. I am savoring my time here, probably for the first time in a while. Occasionally you meet people that change your life. I am lucky to have met people here that did that. One in particular...

Long Week

You know its been a long week when you check your friends blog thinking it is your buddy that you go to school with. In fact it is the blog of someone I dont know and you wonder why everything they are saying is completely bullshit to what actually happened this week. My brain is fried, and everyone at school is pissing me off. You would have thought with one term down, these 2nd termers would chill. Crapasses with good GPA's are publicly self deprecating, in an attempt to elicit praise. Shut the f up. The earplugs are not for the loud people at the library. They are for the annoying ones.

Richard Pryor said it best. "Have a coke, a smile, and shut the f up". Have a nice weekend everybody.

The Things Guys Will Do for ...

My good buddy S is off at Jazzercise. It turns out that his new potential squeeze is also a jazzercise teacher. To impress her, he offered to go to a class. She took the bait and I am off shopping for a pink leotard for him. My, the silly things we will do for women.

Got booted from my new room today. I came out of the shower only to find that my room was deadbolted for which I had no key. I was staying there illegally and the land lord found out. Found a better room for the next 3 weeks anyway. Its funny how things turn out.

How many more blog funerals do i have to go to before people get serious about their blogs. Im sending mine to private school in a few years.

My book, "Civil procedure by Rick James" is almost finished. I decided to name Ch. 4 "Thats what I call Change of Venue Bitches!!".

Anything Less would be uncivilized

Another day bites the dust. Contracts is a bitch. So is my contracts teacher. She spends the class telling us of her fantasies and how much she loves it when her husband talks latin to her. What she doesnt do is teach Contracts. Wish i could get my tuition back. Now i know what online law students feel like.

The Library

My life is studying. Thats all I do. Occasionally i hang out with the girlyfriend. Ive been looking for a new place in the library to hang my hat and I found it. Very minimal foot traffic.

Sank my teeth into Torts today and gained some ground. It will still be a hard road ahead but I will do it.

I suppose it is some relief in that no matter what happens I will be going to a top 100 school with some friends joining me as well. I would still like to kick ass this term for my personal goals and job prospects after law school.

The next 3 weeks will be hell and then the big dance.

After that, I am a 2L. Man that sounds weird.

Siegels

Does anyone else agree that Sigels puts out the hardest Civ Pro questions? Im lucky to get 1 out of 5 right at this point.

Insanity Plea

Why didnt Rick James sign the pleading thus exposing him to FRCP Rule 11(a) sanctions ? "Cuz, Im Rick James Bitch".

-Caffeine is a helluva drug!

Things to do today:

1. Sleep in and waste valuable study time.
2. Stand up ConLaw teacher, heavily increasing the chance that I will barely pass that class.
3. Waste 3 hours eating lunch and running mindless errands, prolonging contracts studying.
4. Freak out because I would rather have Kingsfield that the bitchola I have for contracts now.
5. Watch Beavers kick Cal State Fullerton's ass on TV.

Papa's got a brand new bag

i found me a new energy drink and me likey. the new Fuze energy drink. It has mango puree in it, which is pretty much my favorite fruit so im happy.

it seems that there are some library detectives trying to figure out who me and a few elite bloggers are. good luck. I will give you a hint though. Today I am studying in the atrium on the 5th floor, wearing an abercrombie shirt with some fresh/dope catchphrase on it.

I never thought people at the University of Michigan would care that I had a blog.

The end is nigh!

The term is slowly winding down. With the exception of our basketball playoffs and the school dance this weekend, there is nothing left except class and exam mode. I am sad knowing that I have a lot of friends here that I have to say goodbye to, and it doesnt help that I dont have any time to hang out with them. Its tough to sum up a year of school and the relationships that you make along the way when most of your interaction with these people is in the classroom.

Its March and Ive got the Madness

I cant tell you how frustrating it is to study while there are good basketball games on TV. The tournament will be long gone by the time I have any free time to watch it.

Nap

I thought that my insecurity for leaving the library early would be gone this term. I hate leaving when I see other classmates still studying. Neurotic yes. Believe me, I know.

Off to take a semi-deserved nap. It has been a long week of studying. One month until finals. I have leaps and bounds to go before I am prepared. Having an extra class this term takes most of my free time away.

No basketball this weekend. We have a bye. Next week though, its on like Donkey Kong.

Laptops

Our school loves to mess with us. They have a limited number of seats to take your exam on laptop, so the day that the email comes out to sign up, there is a mad dash to be faster than the other student.

Today, at 920ish, we found out from a classmate that skipped class to turn his in that the email had been sent.

At 11am when class ended the mad dash began. We climbed over limp bodies that had been strewn all over the computer lab in a rush to print off the application and purchase the Extegrity software.

1132 the app was turned in, guaranteeing us a spot with the fellow gunners.

Sometimes I think I am above the game, but other times I just realize that I am just another mouse, running on the same squeaky wheel that everyone else is on. When do I get a piece of cheese?

Refs get no love

Here is another example of how tough referees really have it. 357 N.W.2d 47.

For those without Westlaw, the case is about a ref who makes a really bad call and is sued by a local trading card store for lost profits, mental anguish, etc.

I want to find the lawyer for the trading card store, and put my ethics boot in his ass.

Gross

Am I the only one who thinks it is gross when you are paying for your meal at the restaurant and the pen you sign the tab with is a prescription pen advertising a medicine for an illness that you dont know about?

Good Things

It has been a crazy month with everything going on. I got a letter last night accepting me to my 2nd choice school. A whole rush of emotions hit me and I cant describe how surreal it still feels. I am never one to say Ha Ha to the nay sayers, so I will simply lead by example. Good things can be done against tough odds. Im hoping my buddy S gets in to the same school so we can kick ass together.

I other crazy good news, my number one school called me in regards to the letter I sent asking for a conditional acceptance (they rejected me initially). They told me that if my grades improve I have a good chance of getting in. This is my motivation for busting my ass this term.

Thanks to all my friends who have supported me, and good luck in your endeavors as well.

Time to hit the books like Ike Turner when dinner isnt ready at 5.

Just Chillin

Taxes done. Fafsa done. Getting ready for finals. 6 weeks of pure hell coming up. Bought me a sweet Rio Mp3 player. It holds 2500 songs and it is half the size of an Ipod. Half the price too.

Spent the weekend working out, studying a little and spending time with friends. These types of activities are on the decline this part of the term.

In kick ass news, my basketball team had a hell of a game this week. The team was talking smack about us because our tallest guy is 6'1. Dont underestimate speed. Thats all I gotta say. We won by 7 and shut them up quite nicely.

Hooray for issues.

10 hours deep in my quest to teach myself writing and I have my first issue. Solid. It is ready to go in my memo. I now realize how hard this writing thing is and fully agree with my profs that I am getting a really late start on learning, considering I start work at the firm in two months.

I am sitting here in the lib crackalackin away and all I can think about is that stupid penguin game.


(note to self: gain vast readership on that drool receptacle you call a blog, and then pose issues to the trusty readers. Kinda like when I made 2nd graders do my homework in junior high.)

Penguin Game on Steroids

A friend sent me the steriod version of the penguin game. Beat 784.

Ive got sunshine

Civ pro just got interesting with removal. Some jackass in class yawned so loud that the prof stopped and gave us a look like he could believe somebody had the audacity to yawn that loud. The class is fun, but most of the people are flatlining the whole time. Its 8 am. There are no interesting pictures in the FRCP book. What do they expect?

This game is fun, and possibly the worst waste of time ever. I cant stop trying to beat 322 feet.

thank you

A big thank you to Prof Contracts' husband. He must be taking care of business. she transformed from the spawn of hitler to a near likable, dr.ruth esque, contracts teacher. A good friend of mines cell phone went off not once, but twice today, and she just told a story about cell phones. Any other teacher woudl have had blood for that. She didnt even make my friend recite. Come to think about it, the temperature did drop and its still snowing, so maybe hell has officially frozen over.

3 dog night

Nothing particularly inspiring today. It snowed a foot and is still coming down hard.
