I am in augusta and it is December 10th. AND IT IS 75 DEGREES OUTSIDE. A very warm, balmy 75 degrees outside. I think this is ridiculous. I should have worn flip flops and a short skirt today.

I received this email today – thought I would share…..
CharlsieKate,
While usually amongst my many sources of procrastination while in the good ol’ library, "the thin line between optimism and delusion" has been noticeably absent from my daily regimen of web surfing.
Each day I check livejournal.com, hopeful for a new glimpse into the life that is Charlsie, but nary a post in days.
I’m deeply saddened by this. It is both hurtful and detrimental to my procrastination abilities. There are only so many things to read in anticipation of the minute I actually have to do my work.
I miss the days when you cared more about others and less about yourself. Hopefully you can turn this tragic event into a learning experience…an introspective view about why you choose not to write in your journal.
Until then, I wish you the best in your eternal quest for happiness that many wish to call life, as I join the masses in hopes for a better tomorrow filled with joy and journal posts.
Sincerely,
Postless

For some reason this week – I have had lots of thoughts about things to write – but I have been uninspired to actually write. I think this is probably unhealthy – it probably adds to my suppressed individual status. But these are some things that have been going through my head.
Phrase I would have liked to have worked into my environmental law exam:
People criticize CERCLA for cleaning too inefficiently – “protecting non-existing dirt-eating children." I love that. non-existing dirt eating children.
How professors really grade your exams – don’t worry – they actually put a lot of thought into it. (idea stolen from Alex):
Professor sitting alone in office – dramatic music playing in the background. He shuffles through the papers – identified only by the 4 digit random number.
0426 – daughter’s birthday – A
7654 – amount wasted on son’s tuition at college last semester – C
5346 – last four digits of social – A+
3865 – last four digits of ex-wife’s social – D
1229 – today’s date – B
and so on and so on…..
Sample Question from my Workers Comp exam:
Johnny is working on a punch press in Detroit. Johnny doesn’t wear safety goggles and his employer – Disaster Inc – has rigged up his machine to bypass the safety features installed by the manufacturer – Prudence Inc – because it allows Johnny to work faster and this benefits Disaster. Johnny cuts his hand off in the punch press after showing up to work drunk and while joking around with co-worker Dave. What can Johnny do about his lost arm.
A. Nothing – shouldn’t come to work drunk – no workers comp and no tort case.
B. Johnny can sue Disaster and Prudence in tort and send them into bankruptcy.
C. Johnny can cut Dave’s hand off.
D. Johnny can blow up the whole plant
