I am afraid of my Evidence teacher – Carlson. Well, afraid is wrong. I care. A feeling I haven’t had since first semester of last year. This class makes me nervous. I think part of it is that I wish I could be good in the court room, but my nerves get the best of me. And Carlson conducts class like a courtroom – lots of role playing, etc. And I get nervous. I still of course volunteer – it is compulsive, but my heart starts to beat faster, and I can’t breath, and I kinda tremble. I’m going to make one hell of a litigator.

I mean, give me a break. It was 22 degrees when I got in my car this morning. Wind chill – 16. This is unacceptable. I could see my breath all the way to school.
In other news, I have been taking notes this morning. Also, I thought I had allergies, but now I have decided that I have a full blown cold. Not only am I freezing, but now I’m sick.
But other than these minor setbacks, I am having a great day so far. I am able to concentrate (lack of concentration is the major cause of my bad self esteem), I’m not completely lost in class, I am sitting next to my sweet friend Allison who I never see anymore, I am looking forward to a mr. pibb later, and I am determined to be productive today.
(but I hope it warms up).

More thoughts on this weekend tomorrow, but here is my happy thought of the day:
Getting into the bed at night when I still have an hour before I actually need to go to sleep and I have a book to read makes me happy in a tingly, warm, fuzzy, I’m so excited I can’t breathe way. Since I have been in law school I have really neglected my pleasure reading and this has had a profound detrimental impact on my personal happiness. Books are my happy place and I refuse to let law school rob me of that.

The Tragedy of the Commons
Posted in Law School, ridiculousness, Thoughts on January 13, 2005| Leave a Comment »
How the Tragedy of the Commons (per natural resources discussion today) affects my life.
I can’t use my cell phone on game days because too many idiots that don’t live here come into town for the day and overload the cell phone towers.
I have to study in the annex (when I study) because the big part of the law library is louder than the bars downtown.
Sometimes a keg parties the keg runs out.
When I’m at home in Augusta, I have to fight with my dogs and my brother over who is going to sit at the table.
tired and sore

I ran the past two days. I forgot how law school makes me run like someone is chasing me. I don’t understand how I am already stressed. This is only the third day of school. WHAT IS MY PROBLEM!
I’m not sleeping well, and I’m a little on edge. I need to get a grip on my life. Oh, and I REALLY need to clean up my room and unpack. It looks like a bomb full of clothes, pillows, books, and highlighters exploded.
I can’t wait to go out tonight. I love beer.

I have been reading lots of new blogs tonight, and I commented to Soup’s post on the Urban dictionary, but I was having so much fun, with my comment, that I decided to make a post of my own. I am going to search for people’s names who read this, or who are my friends and don’t read this (because they don’t love me or because I tell them everything anyways). Anyway, if your name isn’t here, you can go here and look yourself up. I think this is going to be a fun game. I’ll start with myself.
Charlsie is as of yet, undefined.
But Kate is defined, ( #1 is scary, #4 cracks me up, #8 is just wrong, #9 is mean).
Paine is defined, but is kinda scary.
Travers isn’t defined, but Trav is.
Katie is my roommate – most people like the name Katie, but some people write gross stuff.
Okay, now I am going to tell you about my day, and put in links to the definitions of their names on Urban dictionary. If it is undefined, do something about it (a lot of names are undefined, so sometimes I put something similar). Keep in mind I didn’t write any of these definitions, I am just linking to the dictionary.
I went to Evidence this morning and sat with Jamie, Otis, Rakesh, and Jerome. Then I went to Natural Resources, and sat next to Ian. I was looking for Cristina because I wanted her to sit with us. Right before class started I looked at Ian’s book and realized I was in Tax. So I left. I walked out of the classroom and saw Appel heading into the room next door, and I followed him into class.
In natural resources I sat with Allison, Jason, and Ryan. Cristina sat with Brent.
After class I stood outside the locker room with Cristina while balancing a book on my head and waited for Jessica. I chatted with Jeff and Chad.
Then I went to lunch with Jessica, David, Tripp, Ally, and Kristin. On the way through campus we ran into Bizzy.
After lunch Jessica and David and I played on the internet. Kipp and Desmond were really loud. Meredith told me how her boyfriend was electrocuted by her computer cord (he survived, and she got a new cord). Christy and I discussed boys and school and life and all the things that we always overanalyze.
okay, I’m getting tired…..
