You Motorboatin Son of a Bitch

I can never seem to be happy with my memo for LRW. I keep refining it, so much that I am only halfway done with it and its due on Tuesday.

It is kinda frustrating to see all the people doing OCI interviews too. I have to wait and see whether my firm wants to bring me back. I am trying not to let it bother me. Getting rid of OCD is like telling J-LO to get a smaller bootie. You just dont get rid of stuff that works for you. OCD is inherent in most law students, and is actually a good thing. Without it, mind numbing details would be overlooked and pursuit of perfection would be cast aside in favor of a few beers.

Employment law is the camel on my back. Driving me nuts. I remember the good old days when you could fire someone simply by saying, "Off with their head". I hope those days return and that im the one saying it.

The past revisited

I had a teacher in undergrad that hated me. Well, I had a few, but some really went out of their way to make my life hell. One made me see the school psychologist just because I allegedly interrupted the class (never happened). Another, gave me crappy grades on flawless work. So crappy, at one point, a girl stood up and yelled at the teacher for treating me so bad.

It seems my writing prof is back to haunt me. Our first non-grades assignment merited comments on all the papers. As I looked through the stack, most said "great job" or "excellent". I pull mine and it says "Good idea, but a couple of questions". Both irrelevant. The funny thing is that I dont care. Pass fail class. No more trying to impress her. I have a year with her. F her.

Psych!

Some of you took the bait.

Guess What?

I am a Republican.

Your fired!

Dear everyone,

Thanks for letting me know that Employment Law is really the "i cant believe its not butter" of conlaw. There is nothing I hate more than a wolf in sheeps clothing, except maybe brussel sprouts.

Love,

Me

Ps. I will let this one slide. One more and I quit.

The scales of justice

What I feel like as a future attorney...

The mighty Beavers

My Beavers overcame torrential rain, and dime-sized hail to overcome Boise State with a last minute field goal. This handed BSU its second loss of the season and propelled the glorious Beavs to 2-0. Nobody touches our Beavers.

And to reiterate, the OC is the greatest show ever. Anyone who disagrees is just upset because they do not have the faculties required to enjoy such quality television.

Greyhound leaves from Newport now?

Right. Im sure Greyhound has a bus stop in Newport Beach. Perhaps right next to the welfare office. Whats that you say? There are no poor people in Newport. Tell me something I dont know.

Find Greyhound's marketing manager and put him with the piano neck tie guy so they can have idiot kids. Am I supposed to believe that Trey wakes up from a coma and is automatically discharged from the hospital the day after Julie Cooper comes in to blackmail him? No. But i dont have to. Ryan is out of jail and back with Marissa which is all that matters. Seth is proof that no matter how funny you are, dating a frigid bitch will take your humor away. If only I can convince my friends of this...

OCI Update

I would love to tell you about how crappy OCI really is except for two problems:
1. I havent been granted any interviews.
2. Opinistas wrote everything you need to know in this great post.

Dear Yours Truly,

Get over it. You know you cant get enough of it.

Sincerely,

Self

Dear Self,

Instead of dishing out advice to the 1L's, why dont you read the damn LRW syllabus so you dont spend another 10 hours writing a memo on the wrong subject.
Sincerely,

Yours truly

Ps. Stop winking at yourself every time you walk past reflective glass.

For whom the bell tolls

Two more dings. Two firms to go. Still waiting on my firm from last summer to make a decision whether they will extend me another offer.

The bell goes..

Two more dings. Still waiting on 5 firms.

Ding

1st employer out of 9 to give me a ding. Oh well.

What happens when you mix alcohol, the internet, and two x chromosomes

Seriously. This is scary. The sad part is that she is for real.

I dont want to grow up, cuz if i did...

The hardest part about growing up is making choices that have substantial effects. Sometimes choices that are made with the best intentions turn out to have disastrous consequences. Responsibility, for lack of a better word, sucks.

I bleed orange and black

All i have to say is Go Beavs!

Help me Help you, Jerry!

Why dont the people in New Orleans who can walk start doing so? Steal a skateboard, bike, etc and clog the damn highway. If buses can make it, so can people. I know that it is 100 degrees outside, but Im hard pressed to believe that sitting around with corpses is healthier than walking. Historically, people traveling by foot have been successful. Maybe I dont have the faculties to understand their dilemma. If they are hanging around to take care of a loved one, then that is admirable, but I still dont believe that every single person there is sticking around for a loved one.

Here's the Rub

I am cranking away at 8 am in the library. There are maybe 10 other people here. I may not be the smartest in the class, but I will work the hardest.

Warning: Democrat post

The people who could have left New Orleans but failed to are morons. There is no way around that determination. "Sticking it out" isnt an option when they tell you a class five hurricane will hit your town that just happens to be below sea level already.

What saddens me more is that fact that we cant overcome the anarchy with relief efforts. At what price do we send thousands to go die for another cause, while we dont even have control over our own people. Do we not have the manpower to send there? If so, then why? Or if we do, then why havent they gone?

I will entertain all reasonable responses.
