Okay here's a post!

This morning I got up nice and early (yeah at 745), showered, tried on about 7 shirts, settled on one that didn't look that good but didn't look as bad as the other 6, put on a sweatshirt (even though it is a gazzillion degree I still refuse to admit it is summer because I am never exposed to the sun), slapped on a little makeup so I don't have to feel like a grotesque monster when I'm sitting by myself in a study room in the law library, packed a lunched, heaved my heavy backpack and laptop bag on my already burdened shoulders, and snatched up my lunch bag and coffee mug that was filled to the brim with black sweetened coffee. I did not put creamer in the coffee because we are running low and time is of the essence (are those clauses valid if added orally during the execution of the contract? oh parol evidence, i have yet to learn you!). I figured I would mooch off the slug who runs the cafeteria here at school. (Sorry Ralph if you read this.) To my dismay, I wrongfully relied to my detriment that the cafeteria would be open so I am creamless and more importantly breakfastless. I did, however, bring 2 granola bars in case such a famine would arise. About 1/2 the things I carry around with me are totally useless (bandaids, a ceramic rabbit, about 20 highlighters, entire bag of carrots, etc.) but I really like to be prepared. And I kind of don't like going outside so I like to feel I could be ready to face my very worst foreseeable fear (which is gangrene but I am not prepared for that). Unfortunately, the granola bar has a terrible after-taste. Almost like cheese. And although I like cheese, I do not like my granola bar tasting like cheese. The whole thing is strange because the cheese I have at home doesn't taste like cheese. Maybe I should put the granola bars where the cheese is in the fridge and just put the cheese up in the cabinet in the granola bar box. Now, that's an idea!
I am currently cooped up in a study room in the library that is approximately 6x6 and chock full of 7 chairs which I had to rearrange because they weren't the way they were yesterday when I got this very same room. And I'm just going to go back to the books. Today on tap is Crim Law, Crim Pro, Con Law fun-review, and an introduction to Secured Transactions and Commercial Papers.

Potent post Mary, thanks.

Maybe drop in a few carriage returns next time.

Ceramic rabbit?

She'll have time for carriage returns after the bar exam.

Hang in there, Mary.

Reading this caused yet another bar exam studying flashback.

Oh, how I feel your pain.
