Does Annie Have Anything To Do With This?

It looks like a badminton net is being put up in The Promenade area to go along with the soccer goal. Next thing you know, Southwestern is going to have a marching band.

People Take This SBA Thing Seriously

Just saw Sharokh and a running mate of his dressed in full moot court attire making their way, presumably, to the Commons for a dress rehersal. The expectation of a good performance during lunch is now on.

Speaking Of PowerPoint

Brian made a joke yesterday about PowerPoint presentations being used at Bunny's Catholic marriage camp thingy, which I'm reminded of because of this.

A Kindlier Email

People with email addresses from St. Thomas, Santa Clara, University of Denver, Richmond, University of Arkansas, NYU, and UCLA received the following email as well.
Subject: Summer Entertainment and Media Law Program in Cambridge

I am pleased that you are planning to join us in Cambridge this Summer.
We expect to be sending you more detailed information about the program
in the near future and are excited about how things are developing. It
should be a great experience for everyone.

As you likely know, the program is oversubscribed--that is, we have many
more applicants than we can accomodate. I am sending this email to ask
anyone to advise me as soon as possible if your plans have changed--or
are likely to change--such that you will not be able to attend the
program. While we do not expect this to be the case, if there have been
any changes it would be helpful to know so that we can make the
opportunity available to other students who are on the waiting list.

Again, congratulations on being accepted into the program, and we look
foward to seeing you for what we anticipate will be a rewarding and fun
summer. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Sincerely,

David Kohler

Not That I Needed A Reminder About Finals Coming Soon

I received an email announcing that ExamSoft registration opened yesterday.

Bastards II

Ever since I sent an email to section C about the softball game last week I've been getting spammed by ProfKnowby@aol.com.

Last Semester, This Semester

Last semester, I never played a game on my laptop during class. This semester, I'm playing lots of Ms. Pacman, Puzzle Bobble, Marvel v. Capcom, and Spider Solitaire during class.

One Of The Reasons Why Girls Suck

And not in the good way, meaning not in the way that requires them to get down on their knees. I better stop now before the fucking FCC fines me or shuts me down.

Last Semester, This Semester

Last semester, I rarely had a good night's sleep and was usually looking very tired. This semester, I'm getting plenty of good sleep and am feeling guilty about it.

Bastards

I'm sitting out in The Promenade and just saw Section C walk out from their morning class. None of them have the sniffles and none are walking with the aid of crutches. In sum, I see no excuses for their absence yesterday.

Last Semester, This Semester

Last semester, I listened to every word my professors said, even when it looked like I was sleeping - tired eyes. This semester, I'm not catching a word they say and I'm actually sleeping at times.

First Sign Of Panicking Over Finals

Just spent $64 plus on two hornbooks, one for Property and the other for Criminal Procedure.

Last Semester, This Semester

Last semester I usually stayed on campus past 8:00 pm studying at the library. This semester, I usually leave around 3:00 or 3:30 or after I workout at the gym

Further Proof That I Am Mistakenly In The Smart Section

Congratulations to Kate Walker, from Section B, for being honored as the Best Brief Writer by our school's Moot Court program.

Last Semester, This Semester

Last semester, I had my outlines either up to date or nearly half done by this time in the semester. This semester, I have yet to start outlining.

Bluebook This

"and they had this really GROSS poster - about how to check a woman's mucus to see if she's ovulating" - Bunny (describing marriage camp)

Last Semester, This Semester

Last semester I usually read at least a couple of days in advance. This semester I usually read the day of class.

After The Game

Brian, Scott, Jeff, Sally, Sean R., Bill, Niv, Darryll, and I went over to Island's on Pico. Niv made an order that would make Stummy proud. Brian said something about finding a lawyer for a spouse and Sally responded that she was going to marry a lawyer as well, which made Jeff nearly choke. The rest of the conversation was gossip about grades and possible couples in our section.

Last Semester, This Semester

Last semester, I took notes in class - not many, but I took. This semester, I don't take any notes.

Softball Game

As expected, Section B made a good showing but Section C produced only one player - in their defense, it is five weeks until finals and moot court just ended - so we ended up playing an intrasectional game again. Here were the lineups:

Jay's Team
Brian
Aylin
Scott (Brian's friend from Pepperdine)
Jeff
Darryll (my brother)
Sean R.
Brad

Joon's Team
Me
Niv
Sally
Doug
Dave
Bill
Brian (Joon's friend)
Paul

For the first three innings, Joon's team either tied up the score or went up by one. Then the fourth inning came and went. At the top of the fourth, Jay's team scored 20 runs to go up 19. Bottom of the fourth saw Joon's team go scoreless. Mercy rule, thankfully, kicked in. Final score: 30-11 after 4 innings and 1 hr. on a very hot day. Highlight of the game saw Brian knocking over his friend at home plate.
