Update

The new job is going well. Lots of new areas of law im enjoying. Other than that, not much else new. Summer is a blog killer.

Ignore this post

Dwane Wade is the new Jack Bauer. I dont care what anybody says. Including Chuck Norris.

Update

Two grades back so far. Did well in Tax and received Honors in Legal Writing. If the rest of my grades are as good as these two, im going to be valedictorian. Tomorrow is my first day at the new firm. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Haters

Its kind of sad how many haters there are in this world. I suppose not all of us can be successful and happy, but every now and then im suprised as to how many haters there really are around us. Every walk of life has haters. For one reason or another these people would love to see you fall. But you wont, and they know that. So they remain bitter and determined to bring you down.

MI3

I caved and saw Mission Impossible 3. Great action movie. So good I almost forgot how weird Tom really is in real life. Also thought it was really strange that the character cast as his wife in the movie looks a lot like Katie Holmes.

Happy Mother's Day

I didnt forget about you guys, I just dont have much to say. Happy Mother's Day.

Deal or No deal?

Last final of 2L today. Need I say more?

Getting ready to break the ice

All in all I would have to say it was pretty good. Not bad, not okay, but pretty good. It lasted longer than I thought it would, and I defininitely benfitted by the the work I put in before hand. It was definitely intense. I broke a sweat and was left feeling satisifed and hollow all at the same time. Regardless, it had to be done, and I am now ready to move on. If i could only forget...

(Thoughts either about last night with Anonymous' mom, or my tax final today)

Taxes are for Canadians

Federal Income Taxation is the worst class ever. Anyone who understands this class should be immediately shipped to Siberia for a reality check. Im pretty sure even Jack Bauer would get his ass kicked by this class.

Also a special hippie fuck you to this school for making me park really fucking far away so you can have that pity party called graduation. I hope someone farts and it lingers while you all bask in yesterday's glory. Fuck you. Fuck tax.

Tax Final

I have decided to forego studying for Federal Income tax in lieu of answering every questions with a tax cliche. For example, I plan on answering most of the exam with, "The only sure thing in life is death and taxes."

What if taxes caused death? Is that a casualty loss under IRC Section 165? Can I deduct the cost of my tuition for this class as a useless expense under IRC Section 411? Aha, that was a red herring folks. There is no "useless expense" under "the Code" as us tax experts like to call it.

This term has been one big waste of my time. Working is far better than studying Tax. For those of you not in law school that would like to experience a day as a hippie law student studying Federal Income Tax follow these directions:
1) find nearest corn field.
2) remove underpants (including briefs, thongs, gstrings, bloomers, chastity belts)
3) Run backwards through field at full speed.
4) Repeat until bled dry

Finals

The scariest moment for a law student is having a question on the final that the teacher didnt cover in class. Even scarier is when the question is 100% of your final grade.

Piso Mojado

Today I am off protesting the unethical treament of law students. Join me in solidarity. Who's with me?

Studying

If you want a short study break, take a gander here.

Warning: if you are Type A, dont do it. Seriously. Consider yourself warned.

New Career

Im seriously considering dropping out of law school to become a full time romance novelist.

-This caffeine induced post is brought to you by my middle finger and Federal Income Taxation.

hair

People are starting to look like death around here. Most have bumped hygiene down a few more notches, practically leaving it extinct. Not that hippies ever cared anyway. There are more red eyes here than at a Grateful Dead concert. People are drinking 3 and 4 red bulls a day. Donkeys are being used instead of roller bags to cart books back and forth. All for the noble privilege of representing someone in a legal battle. I dont think we charge enough.

Too Good

Wouldnt you think that someone ranked #1 in their third year class would understand that the library's no food policy included pop tarts? Wouldnt the interpretation of the sign depend on whether the sign was actually a final integration? Would the parole evidence rule apply if the librarian was caught sneaking food in?

How I roll.

I carry this picture in my wallet. Mostly so my wallet actually contains some type of paper , but also for those days when i just want to show people how loco I really am.

life

life has been pretty messed up lately. school has taken a hit as a result of my actions. now i must study to save my ass. whether the rest of the messed up things work themselves out, i can only wish.

Oral Arguments

Oral Arguments are finally done. I went in there with next to nothing prepared and it served me well. Except for that whole part where i forgot to mention certain things. Either way, its done. The judges did not fall for the chewbacca defense, nor did they even care who ordered the code red. And word to the wise, writing your closing argument on your ass cheeks and then asking the judges to read it for you is not reccomended, unless you do ask many gleut flexes as I do each day. The judges were impressed with the tone and shape (of my argument pervs).

In sum, I would like to wish you all well on finals, that is unless you are in my classes. Then, i would prefer if you could not take the final. And handcuff yourself to the smartest person in the class.

Yes, i am behind on sleep.

Red

Approximately the color of the girl's face whose laptop decided to play some ridiculously ghey songs at a very high volume in the library despite the fact that she was trying to shut the sound off. For 30 seconds. While everybody in the library stared and laughed at her. Yes, impugn the girl with the malfunctioning computer. Why? Becuase its finals time and we need a laugh.
