You know when your eyes are bloodshot, your draining the Visine bottle like nobody’s business, your hair is greasy from a whole night of stress, your heart is racing, and your skin is all dry and itchy that you’ve been spending way too much time on research papers and living off caffeine. If I don’t get some water and sleep (not necessarily in that order); I’m going to crash.
Woot! Final exams are finally complete. I’ve gone without sleep and without sanity for the last two weeks, but it is over at last. Hope all you other students did great on you exams, and that you are finishing up the semester with style! At last I can start writing again!

12/5/2012–Oh dear, you know it ‘s a bad sign when the A+ students complain that they kept changing their answers.

There is so little to find humorous when studying the law that our sense of humor is highly twisted by graduation, but hey! we can still be funny! So in the spirit of loosening up before exams begin, I thought I’d share one of my favorite poems for law students. So without further adieu, I present G. K. Chesterton’s “The Horrible History of Jones.” This is why we study law–to keep it from becoming like this. Sadly we seem to have failed in regards to the abbreviations; they are just this bad. I counted 21 in one of my courses!
