First Meal As A 2L

A couple dozen people or so from section B met up at The Red Lion after our final exam to have drinks with Prof. Contracts. A lot of the conversation involving Prof. Contracts that I listened in on was a discussion between he, Vanessa, and Trini about what needs to improve at Southwestern. Basically, the school's grading curve - which falls between 2.2 to 2.4 - and the closely related student morale were the most valid concerns. Although I didn't agree with everything Vanessa and Trini had to say, they expressed knowledgable concern and had put real effort into effectuating change. And this is no knock on those who were elected - they could very well make changes for the better - but after yesterday I get the sense that Trini's slate would have at the very least fought the good fight.

Other serious conversation topics included; Mexican midget wrestling, authority conferring mustaches, and people we would like to hit.

Lots of byes and handshaking afterwards.

Brian and everyone else prepare to laugh... I shared a sausage platter with Peters.

Free Shows In Britain This Summer

Ananova:

Over half of British adults have had sex in a public place, a new survey has found.

According to Sky the annual sex poll by FHM also found that 56% of men and women admitted to having been unfaithful in a relationship.

So there's a good chance I might have to say, "Annie, close your eyes."

SWLAW Catching Up With The Times

From an email:

Dear Student:

I am delighted to inform you that effective with Spring 2004, grades can be accessed on-line beginning Friday, May 14th after 7:00 p.m.

You may access your grades by clicking on www.swlaw.edu/onlinegrades or from the Southwestern home page, click on Current Students, then under Links To Personal Information, click on Grades On-line. In addition to grades on-line, the Registrar’s Office will send grades via U.S. Mail weekly, each Friday.

Grades that are processed throughout the day in the Registrar’s Office will become available on-line after
7:00 p.m. daily. The Registrar’s Office processes grades immediately upon receipt; therefore, if your grade(s) has not been updated to “Grades On-line,” then that grade(s) has not been received.

In accordance with the Grading Policy and the Accounts Receivable Policy, grades will not be released to any student whose tuition account is in arrears. If a student tries to access their grades on-line and they have an outstanding account balance, a message will appear that grades are not available and that the student should contact the Registrar’s Office. Once the hold flag for an outstanding balance has been removed, the grades will be accessible.

Exams will be available for pickup in the Registrar’s Office three days after grades have become available on the website, provided the professor has delivered them to this office.

Please note that full-time faculty have five weeks from the date of the exam to submit their grades. Faculty who fail to meet this requirement are subject to a daily fine for each day their grades are late.
Thanks,
Karen

I'm happy with my LR&W grade. Could end up being my best grade of the semester. That wouldn't be a good thing, especially since it's only one credit.

As is my policy, I'll be waiting for all of my other grades to come in before I look at them. Just couldn't help myself with the LR&W grade because after having to pick-up my moot court brief with my partner I already had a good idea of what my grade was.

First Post As A 2L

Done.

My Last Post As A 1L

Just wanted to get that in. Don't expect the 2L stuff to be any better.

Someone Warn Macy... Or Drew

Police are investigating whether a resident at a south Scottsdale condo complex was involved in shooting a dog there.

Last week, fliers blanketed the complex claiming that a "sniper" would kill pets whose waste wasn't cleaned up.

The controversy began when many residents at the Casita Real condo complex at Indian School and Granite Reef roads found the fliers on their cars, threatening dogs. Then last Friday, Laura Middleton's dog, Bomber, was shot with a pellet gun.

A Tucson animal rights group, the Animal Defense Council, also announced that it would provide a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the shooter.

Overly Sentimental III

I'll be saying hi to them as 1Ls one last time and saying bye to them as 2Ls for the first time.

Can I Really Be Expected To Study For Ks After What Fish' Did?

Wow.

UPDATE: Seriously, if Fish' can make that shot, then I - and everyone else - can definitely pass a silly, little K's exam.

UPDATE: How does Derek Soller sound? Derek Soller-Fisher? D-Fish Soller? Should I be studying for Ks instead of coming up with names for my first born son?

I See Powerpuff Girls and Kerropi In My Food

Brian needs to have a talk with his people.

Overly Sentimental II

My last chance to have lunch at the corner taco shack. A chance I'll likely pass on. Now is not the time to take chances.

Not Saying Bunny Lacks Any Ideas

But this would make a great gift for her or a gift anyway.

Tourists visiting New York's Times Square are blushing over a new Swatch watch billboard that features six pairs of rabbits in various sexual positions, according to a Local 6 News report.

The billboard kicks off the new "Bunnysutra" Swatch watch line that features the company's "touch" technology.

A Swatch news release reportedly says when touched, the clock hands land on "happy bunny positions."

Overly Sentimental

Awwwww... my last day in the library as a 1L. Hope it doesn't change when I become a 2L.

Hmmm... Bunny's Wedding Or

6/5/04 OCA/SCCLA JOINT ANNUAL PICNIC
Come have fun and relax on a Saturday afternoon at the annual picnic put on by the Organization of Chinese Americans, Greater Los Angeles region. The picnic will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Alhambra Park on June 5, 2004.

There will be plenty of food, sports, and games, fit for the entire family. The picnic is also a great setting for all of us in the community to network.

I guess I could go to this beforehand seeing that Bunny's Wedding is three hours later. But do I really need to know any more Chinese? Isn't a Taiwanese and a Hong Kongnese enough for me to handle?

Just Poke Out Both Eyes

Apparently, saying you can't type up your law school exam because you're missing part of a digit isn't a good enough excuse. (link via Disputation)

Advice For Macy

Had A Really Good Night's Sleep

I don't know if it's because I'm ok with taking law school exams now or because I'm so burnt out over law school. Probably a combination of both. Last 1L exam tomorrow, Contracts. And then...

Restraint

Saw Prof. Contracts at the gym and didn't spalsh him with water. Good for me.

I'm Content

Civ Pro exam in about three hours. Apathy has set in. It's very relieving. I'll worry about what it means to my grade another time but for now I'll take the inner-peace.

WTF

Prof. Civ Pro told us it was going to be open book; to the extent that we would have our Civ Pro supplement with our notes written inside of it. Thing is, he didn't tell us that he usually has the MC part of exams as closed book. Annie just called me 10 mins. ago to let me know after going over the instructions of his past exams. Let's hope he's breaking format because I have no idea what FRCP 26(b)4(A) is all about. Test less than 12 hours from now.

What's More Impressive?

That I've studied about 8 hours for Civ Pro so far today and am still presumably sane? Or
That I've been in a study group room with Annie for 8 hours and am still presumably sane?

Thank you Annie.

Who Knew?!

It's actually possible for a completely different exam to make one feel worse about prior exams. Some time during my Torts exam today I thought to myself, "Why couldn't I have flowed as well on my prior exams." I'm thinking I got a B- on the Torts exam which means I'm thinking I did a lot worse on my Property and Crim Pro exams.

Eh, I need to move on. Civ Pro, here I come.

Is This The Way I'm Going To Feel Afterwards?

From here:

"You know, I usually feel like crying when things end. But I don't feel like crying now. This is the first time I've gotten to an ending and been, like, you know...really happy."

Third-Tier Conversation

Brian: What does your shirt say?
Arpineh: It says Lucky Fcuk. But if you're dyslexic you might read something else.
Myself: Either way, all I'm seeing are breasts.

Lucky Him

The guy sitting next to me is done done. All three years. He's extremely happy as it's to be expected. I'll gladly settle for being a third as happy as he is come Friday.

Quick Thought

I wonder if anyone realizes I'm not wearing any underwear anymore. Forgot to pack a clean pair in the gym bag.

Ok... Post #636

Apparently there was a bad count by Blogger earlier, I have since reindexed and I've actually posted a lot more then previously thought.

I've spent way too much time on this.

Be Happy Brian

Someone is actually really mad at me and it's Trini.

Overexposed

A couple of surprise links to this site here and here. Regarding the first link, why do I have to follow the naked butt man? And what does it all mean? Am I being called a Pixie? Regarding the second link, yeah I'm honored that my site is mentioned in the same breath as Jeremy's but now people are going to know how third-tier my blog really is when compared to his.

Damn You All

I recognize that I only skipped one day from posting to this site. But I feel guilty knowing that you guys keep coming with nothing new to see. So hence the quick posting of crap. Enjoy

Law School Memory #28: Not Quite A Faux Paus

A Hallmark card was being passed around class for everyone to sign. When it got to Paul, he announces his intended message, "Happy Birthday! You don't suck." Before he could write and sign he was informed it was a sympathy card concerning the lost relative of a fellow classmate.

It provided much needed laughter before our Torts exam.

Post #479

Apparently the site I use to post to this site has a new interface and it tells me that this is my 479th post. One might say that the time and effort I have put into this could have gone to better use towards law school.

I wouldn't have been listening.
