Objects in the Mirror are Crazier than they Appear

Ever since I learned that the brain processes information received during the day while sleeping, I have been attempting to use that fact to my advantage in law school. So, before sleep I'll read a few pages of my casebook or notes. Also, I've been dreaming of being in class a lot lately so I figured that was my brain's retention powers at work, you know? But last night I dreamed I was riding the bus. That's the whole dream, just riding the bus. And I awoke angry at myself for not dreaming about school.

That's how you know I fit in perfectly here.

"I Mistrust You, You Mistrust Me, we're a Nuclear Family...

Interesting to see the President of Iran speak at Columbia University today. He is very well spoken but the things that come out of his mouth are...frightening and hilarious. Kindda like Fox News. He said Iran has no homosexuals. Well, yes, hold public executions in a fundamental Islamic state and you may be able to get most of the outspoken ones, with the rest going underground. I am disturbed, though, at the U.S.'s focused "gunning" towards Iran and President A. Cheney wants to attack them next. Will that happen? Also, Ahmandinejad is not as powerful as you would expect of a president of a sovereign nation, he must work with the clerics. So perhaps we are focusing too much effort on him as an individual.

Anyway, it just feels good to do something outside studying law for seven hours today. On my supposed 'day off' from class.

My Daze

I spend most of the weekend in the law library and leave feeling...like I should be spending more time at the library. In other news, two of the blogs I used to read went down this week. Inneresting.

"Hey, Freakshow?" "What?" "The Devil." "What?" "The Devil is Everywhere."

My absolute favorite scene from a movie with so many great moments:

Sobering and Sad

A student at the University of Floroda asked guest speaker John Kerry numerous questions about his run for President in 2004 and specifically why nothing has been done to impeach Bush in the Senate. The campus police arrested and tasered him because he would not relinquish the mic. The student was resisting arrest as far as not stepping away from the microphone but was no violent and, given the current political situation, the questions he was asking as a citizen are not unreasonable.

Intellectual Property and Other Fun Thoughts

Had my first 'real' day of law school. It was interesting, no, it really was. I had done all my readings, so that made a difference. Tonight, I spent about an hour trying to find a change in IP law here in Canada that took effect January 1, 2005 but had to give up once bedtime rolled around. I am going to bed now, really I am. I get up early tomorrow to brief some cases. This is what I wanted and I'm happy.

I Miss You

It is so hard to be apart.

First Week of Law School

So, I made it through my first week of law school. And it was...fun! It really was. And exciting and a bit terrifying, which made it only more exciting. First hour, after sign in, we were introduced to our 'small groups' that is, twenty of us first years who will have all our classes together. And we mingle a lot. But I genuinely like a lot of these people and we are already talking about study groups. So, hooray.

Tonight, I went to our get-to-know-you dinner and tomorrow morning I head to the law library when it opens at 10 to start, you know, studying.

Good Luck, G!

My sister G. is off to Alberta to get her Master's in Physio Therapy. I'll miss having her around. She is always ready with a kind word and a smile and remembers to include everyone. After being a high school star athelete, she went to college and worked hard to get a Biology BS. She's driven, fun, and we wouldn't be the same without her.
