General Board / My Law School Memoir
« on: December 20, 2011, 10:18:14 PM »
I usually wouldn't do something like this, but I have contributed a lot to this place.  (Unlike Rick Lax, back in the day.)

You don't have to buy, but at least consider checking it out:

I'm also happy to answer any questions about law.

Just got back from Chicago ASW. Not in love. But for logistical reasons, maybe?

This is fine.  What didn't you like about it?

Yeah, there's the Mexican restaurant strip.  There are fewer hipsters there.

T&E = Trusts and Estates.

So here we are again, Finals.  Face to face.  Mano-y-mano.  Some other stuff.

Uneventful.  We've been through the drill.  I think I can pull decent grades in Tax and T&E.  Accounting is open book, no computer.

I went to a bar in the hipster area of Pilsen the other night.  Good times.

What work is this?  I've done jack poo.  I learned income tax and trusts and estates entirely off 3L outlines.  I never read for one of my classes.  I'm on a journal, and sure a comment takes a while, but it's nothing that forces me to put 36 hours in my day.

I don't know what a pointed comment is.

Oh @#!* you, am I the only person whose life f-ing sucks 2L?!  God dammit.

You make it suck.  That's right: you make it suck with your attitude.   :P

I had the strangest daydream in Tax yesterday.  There's a hipster in my building, and I had a fantasy in which I beat him up.  I take off his black-rimmed glasses, smash them, smash his Neutral Milk Hotel CD, then push his 5'9'' frame up against a locker and take his lunch money.  He says, "Please, Mr. Wally.  Make it stop," and starts crying.

Very satisfying, though I bet he gets laid more often than I do.

And just wait til next year.  My semester was like finals week every week.

To be fair, I've been deluged with responsibilities & obligations this year--basically all the 1L stuff (four doctrinal classes) plus callback travel, journal cite-checking/writing, and casebook work for a prof--but I've pretty much managed to avoid doing poo.

So there's definitely more "work," but there's definitely less "doing work."

This.

Dischord: I sit in the park everyday.

My fantasy football team is 9-1.  Chris Johnson is the man.
