Way back when I got out of high school I joined the Marine Corps.
In boot camp I really admired the drill instructors for their ability to curse with such fluid use and visual imagery of the English language. It was a real treat.
That type of language is apparently in disfavor with the law school establishment. They seem to prefer a more diminutive approach.
Professor: Can you compare this case to (insert odd notes case of little consequence that you should have read and then disregarded a month ago)
Me: Jesus, Mary, and Doggy style Joseph. How the f*&% am I supposed to know that s#!@. You are out of your f*%#ing mind. That jumbled up word jam piece of dog t!@# case didn’t make sense then and belongs in this conversation like a f*%^$ing rusty screen door belongs on d@*# submarine. Unscrew your head and tell us what we need to know for your d!#@ test. You overbearing windbag.
The more appropriate response according to the law school hierarchy:
Professor: Can you compare this case to (insert odd notes case of little consequence that you should have read and then disregarded a month ago)
Me: Could you rephrase the question. (While franticly scanning the case for some hope of recalling why this case is even in the book in the first place)
Law school would be much more entertaining that way. But then again law school professors can’t hit you either. So I guess it is an even trade out.

6 weeks to finals
So tomorrow morning starts the 6 weeks run to finals.
Here is where the rubber really starts to meet the road and the studying and preparation are essential to the continued existence of all who embark on this path.
In other words: I have 6 weeks to get my shit wired up tight.
I have learned from stuff in the past.
Right now I have no steady girlfriend. We will keep it that way. Experience has taught me the hard way that chicks love to cause drama the week before finals. (One in particular, but she is currently many miles away). My life is currently drama free and I prefer to keep it that way until after finals.
Eating right and staying healthy now become important. Finals time is a period where stress wears on your body. Not eating healthy because you are always rushed for time multiplies the problem (not to mention flu season being on it’s way) mean that if I let myself get wore down just before finals then I walk in there not at my best. So junk food needs to be a thing left over for after finals.
Beer – the great equalizer; motivator; inhibition releaser; sexual aid; tension reducer; beloved toxin – has to be parted with for a short while. I can’t deal with the residual cobwebs in my head that seem to last for days after a bender.
Caffeine – oh you sweet darling. Come to me now my friend in the form of Starbucks coffee. We will become one. To you I swear allegiance.
Life – goodbye as I know it. Hello Library.
