Law school update

I'm a week away from my first exam for this semester. So in 2.5 weeks I will be done with my first year of law school. It is really frightening how fast it's gone. I've been so busy that I haven't noticed. I'm really looking forward to being mean to new 1Ls next year. Not so much mean, but reveling in their misery. Laughing when they get their 1st semester grades and consider suicide.

Oh, in case I didn't brag about it to you yet, I won the skydancer award for best memo in my legal writing class. By skydancer award, I mean that I won an actual toy from 1995 NIB. I probably spent about 200 hours on the memo, so that means it cost at least 40,000 dollars in lawyer terms. In the real world, you would get fired if you spend that much time on a memo. But since it's the first one, and we suck, spending that much time gets you an award. If you get one of the top 2 grades in your legal writing class you "grade on" to a journal. You would think since I wrote the best memo, I would be confident, but I'm not. The memo was 30% of our grade and our brief was 60%. My brief was not nearly as good. Once again I have to cross my fingers that other people in my class suck more than I do. It's not a good feeling.

Last week I participated in PILF trivia night. PILF stands for "public interest law foundation" not "people I'd like to fuck" although some of them are. There were 6 people on a team and you could also have professors on your teams. We signed up under some professor we didn't know, but he turned out to be really valuable because he is old. I was proud of myself for naming 2 nascar drivers whose names are Kyle (Busch and Petty). My team came in 3rd out of 10 or 11 teams, so I didn't feel too retarded. Our team name was Michael Scott Paper Company. We got beat out by Somali Fisherman's Local 503. They definitely won best team name too.

I am procrastinating right now instead of studying. Hopefully I still get A's so I don't come back here and cry when I read this a year from now. Ok, I'm motivated now.

Attention whore #2

Just when I thought that one attention whore in my section was the worst, I experienced the true annoyance of Attention whore #2. I'm not going to post her name, but I am going to post a link to her hilarious website which is hernamedotcom, so if she has any kind of webskillz (doubtful) she will be able to find this blog.

Anyway, as an intro, she has a super-annoying laugh. Worse than that, if you say anything which could be mildly construed as funny, she will laugh for at least 5 seconds longer than is appropriate. So when she decides to talk to anyone in the library, it ends up with me getting a private study room so I can't hear her pervasive twattering.

Someone else made a derogatory comment about her the other day and it made me a bit curious. I have always noticed that her facebook pictures are very model-esque (in a high school picture kind of way) and so I googled her. I was not disappointed. She apparently holds herself out to be a model with extensive experience; such as the advertising of smokeless tobacco, being a girl who dances at a bar, and the Iraq, and the Africas, and such as. I won't link you to the main page, because it has as much character as she does, but here is her pictures page. Click on the main page though, so you can understand her true essence.

I hope she doesn't take any of the same classes as me next year. Library and assembly proximity is about all I can handle.

OMFML

I told Mike (somewhat with the intention of stroking his ego) that I figured out why I think Nate Archibald is so cute. It's because he reminds me of Mike, or Mike reminds me of him. I think if Mike were white, and 6 feet tall, that's what he would look like. Nate Archibald is pretty like a girl, and so is Mike.... I mean, they are both handsome.

So when I told Mike that he reminded me of Nate Archibald he took the analogy a little further. Back when we were planning a GG party he said he would be Nate Archibald and I semi-scoffed at that idea. He said, who would I be then? And I said maybe Eric, since he's short and has darkish hair. Mike said no, definitely Nate. Because they both have great hair, and they get all the girls, and have fabulous futures, and they're both rich. That's when I started to laugh, and made Mike mad.

On a completely unrelated note, I have had 4 migraines in 4 days. I actually started feeling suicidal, and not just in the way I usually joke about it and say I'm going to kill myself because my DVR didn't record LOST. I started worrying because if stress causes my migraines, and I'm going into a stressful career, it seems that my entire life is destined to hover around a 6 on the pain scale.

On a related note, if I used an online pharmacy, could that be tracked to me? Is it just a way for terrorists (Canadians) to steal my credit card number? If it was that easy, people wouldn't be buying Vicodin on the street, right? I really just want my neurologist to prescribe me some strong painkillers, but that's not the first option, so I have to try all these other weak-ass drugs first. It's exhausting.

4Fast4Furious is coming out tomorrow, and Mike's birthday party is Saturday. I'm looking forward to the party because it gives me a reason to clean the house, an excuse to eat hot dogs, and also see people I haven't seen in a while. I'm kind of like Serena throwing whatever kind of party I want instead of the chili and board games that Jenny wanted. We are going to the Movie Tavern to watch the movie. Ryan sent me a gchat the other day which said, "Does the Movie Tavern serve alcohol?" I didn't have time to make fun of him for that question, so here it is.

Happy World Autism Awareness Day!
