I’m starting summer school in about 7 hours. The class is at 8 AM and is professional responsibility. There’s a pretty good chance I’m on call based on prior experience. I did the reading about an hour ago. It was actually okay, and fairly interesting even if it was sort of dense and stupid writing. Most of the concepts I have already been exposed to in other classes. For instance, we talked about civility and hardball tactics a little in Negotiations. We talked about leaving out authority, frivolous cases, non-cases on appeal, and skewing facts in Lawyering Skills and Crim Pro. We talked about penalties in Civ Pro. So I guess I’ve been preparing for this class for two years now.
Speaking of time passage, I noticed in the “One month ago” category in the right hand column of this blog, I posted that I was officially a 3L. That would be because it has been a month since my last final, last semester. Yeah, a month. I have no idea what the hell I’ve been doing. Well, I have one great positive to show for that period of time, but beyond that, my room is a mess, I never fixed my budget with all the receipts I save in the tin by my desk, I still haven’t consolidated my loans or decided whether it is worth it, I don’t have a job even a whole month in, I’ve worked minimally on the paper that I’m going to steer in the fall, I haven’t finished one chapter of my great american novel. It’s a disaster. But I’ll recover, I always do…
…Due diligence that is. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. School in the summer at 8 in the morning. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Crazy time. C R A Z Y. I feel like I should start drinking espresso shots right now.

On the other hand, I imagine being in a classroom with my computer will mean I will post more often again. (No! Amjur, amjur, amjur!!!)
