Passing the Time in Torts

Some people play spider solitaire, snood, minesweeper, or boot up nester to play some old-school Nintendo game to pass away the hour in Torts. I, on the other hand, churned butter today. Or tried to anyway using Half and Half. And it better make for the best damned buttered piece of toast I can have in bed because with all the churning I've done so far it's going to be an especially lonely night in bed.

Grades Finally Made Known III

I said a "few hoops", not a couple. Before you move on, know that this is your last chance to keep away from seeing my grades. So seriously consider whether or not you really want to see them.

Yes, I really want to see them and will not judge you as being a dumbass or mistake you for a genius after seeing them.

No, I'd rather not know so please point me to something else, preferably something more humorous and porn-licious than your grades.

Grades III

Still haven't peeked at my grades but I know I didn't get an A+ in Contracts seeing that the professor had asked for permission from the one student who got the A+ if he could distribute a copy of his/her exam to the class.

Needless to say, Professor Contracts didn't ask me for any permission.

Effed Up Thought

I'm getting enough school work done during the weekdays but not enough during the weekend days.

So This Is Why Rose Trains For and Runs In Marathons

From CNN:

The same family of chemicals that produces a buzz in marijuana smokers may be responsible for "runner's high," the euphoric feeling that some people get when they exercise, U.S. researchers say.

Arne Dietrich, the study's principal investigator and a former visiting professor at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, believes the body releases cannabinoids to help it cope with the prolonged stress and pain of moderate or intense exercise.

He added that the findings could provide sufferers of glaucoma and chronic diseases an alternative to using marijuana for pain control. Use of the drug for medical purposes has been approved by voters in some states, but remains illegal under federal law and highly controversial in the medical community.

So instead of smoking marijuana to relieve pain, you can exercise to the point of even more pain to gain desired pain relief. That's a suggestion that will be well received.

Grades II

Came to school today expecting to see a lot of sad, mad, or bitter people. But that wasn't the case at all. Most seemed to be quite satisfied if not downright happy with themselves. That doesn't bode well for me. Still have yet to peek at my grades.

Top 10%

Was told today by my Legal Writing professor that a GPA of 3.1 or a 3.2 is usually good enough to get into the top 10%. Was also told by said professor that you need not worry unless you're hovering below a 2.1. Lastly, a C or a C+ means that you're understanding the material at a level sufficient to being a lawyer.

Let's Hope I Don't Get a Case Like This

From CNN:

Seafood restaurant chain McCormick & Schmick's Monday settled a lawsuit brought by a California woman who said she suffered severe emotional distress after she discovered a condom in her clam chowder, a company spokesman said.

Sultan, 48, said the trouble began February 26 when she and three companions sent their soup back to the kitchen to be reheated while dining at the Irvine, California, restaurant.

Sultan said she was treated rudely by the waiter, and when she began eating the soup she encountered a chewy, rubbery object that she first thought was calamari or shrimp, she told local media. She spit the offending object into her napkin and discovered it was a rolled up condom, she said.

"I said, 'Oh my god' and ran into the bathroom with another friend of mine and I started throwing up," she said.

If this had gone to trial and as plaintiff's counsel, I would have said in closing, "If it tastes like cum, you must award a large sum."

Law School Question of the Day

Is a pea a fruit or a vegetable? Not quite as vexing a question as what is a chicken but a perplexing question nonetheless. For third tier law school students anyway.
