A light posty before bed? Ok. Things are pretty good here. I just finished up the initial slam of work they gave us, now I have a little lull, so im trying to enjoy it. Ive been in a pretty good mood this week, well, once i turned in my memo, did my oral argument, and got laundry done. So now ive finally got a little time, its great. Though now watch me get that last grade tomorrow and cry. Of course if i did the tears would freeze to my face. The temperature is holding in single digits, wind chill delving in the negative double digits. I find myself rooting for the cold though. Not that they ever cancel law school, but its still kind of fun. Took me half an hour to get my car out of the snow the other day...and i had to start off using a snow shovel to get the snow off.
(Side note on my oral argument, my professor, who i think you all know i hate with a passion, was my 'judge', and in her comments called me out on my stuttering. Said that 'a real judge might think you were making excuses, or didnt know what to say'. I was like fuckthat Fuck.....that. So had a little talk with her after, and then sucked up for like 15 minutes. it was ugly, and i hate her more than ever.)
Lets see, what other trivial things might everyone be interested in....I saw Big Fish the other night, and I loved it. I know it hasnt gotten the best reviews, and i can see why its not some peoples cup of tea, but i loved it nonetheless. Of course, its nothing compared to what You Got Served is gonna be like...man...look out Lord of the Rings. Im thinking of joining a dance crew like that. I think id rock.
Speaking of physical activity, I joined a law school intermural basketball thing...had my first game on monday, and it sucked. I had three guys on my team that all seemed to think they were Gods answer to athletics. Nothing like seeing a guy smaller than me, heigh wise and width wise, try to drive in on guys that eat puppies for breakfast. Now take a bunch of ball hogs and throw in some Intermural Referees at the Rec Center, and its a blast. Ive never seen freshman and sophomores on such a power trip in my life. I laughed aloud when this one guy yelled at one of the other teams players for ALMOST pressing a button on their little score machine. It was a trip.
Um, what else...i dont know. My lifes been pretty hectic, lots of little things keep adding up. I hate money, same ole same ole. I feel detatched from the rest of the world. My existence revolves around my reading. Though, that has started to wane recently, as my love of politics is starting to burn once again in my veins. Probably the mix of the primaries combined with my Con Law class. Kind of been a reminder of why im in law school, which has been awesome. In high school, i didnt care much, cuz i knew college was after that. THen in college i never got too stressed because again i knew it wasnt the end of the line for me, law school was next. Last semester, I kind of lost that attitude. I felt, and still do to some extent, that if i fail here im screwed, that this is my last shot, but again, now im realizing that while i do want to be a lawyer, and plan on being one for a while, that its not what i want to end up doing. Its not the goal. I forgot to keep my eyes on the prize. Got sidetracked. Got disillusioned. Not my style, left a bad taste in my mouth.
Havnt been able to get 'Its Cold Outside' by Dean Martin out of my head for days. And scarier still, i dont mind. Diggin me some classics biatch. Thats right.
I made Kool Aid for myself the first time the other day. Im gettin this cooking shit down. Cept for the other night. So erin made cookies this past weekend, and i had a bunch of dough left. Other night i thought 'all i have to do is put the cookies on the tray and cook em, even i should be able to do that'. I now equate it with the guy in the horror movie that says 'ill be right back, i just need to get something out of hte basement'. I basically ended up with one giant cookie that was burnt on the bottom and gooey on the top. and then i couldnt get it off the tray. I should have my own show on food network.
Couple interesting things ive noticed the past few weeks about law school...
-Cops, that were previously being very rude to you and drunk friends when youre on your way home, change their tune when you mention that yes, you are a student at NIU, what am i studying? why, Law, all of us here are, why do you ask?
-I saw grad students get embarassed and talked down to when they make the FATAL mistake of trying to print something in the law school computer lab. God, i mean really, you only have one subject to study, how much work could you possibly have? (Actual quote, thought id throw that in there for all yallz, i know i laughed)
-Law and Order and The Practice take on a whole new dimension, and border on studying.
Wow, you know, I could keep going, but i kind of want to leave you all hungering for more.

Okay, I tried to post, lost my post, got mad, ate some soup, was gonna re-post, but im tired. Ill just say my favorite part. I found out today that an actual law on the books here in Illinois...
"In Urbana, Illinois, it is illegal for any monster to enter city limits"
So in case you havnt guessed, im changing any dreams of politics and criminal law and plan on majoring in Monster Law. You know, State v. Boogeyman, Commonwealth of New York v. Godzilla, etc. You know how nuns get callings or whatever? Exactly.
