the thin line between optimism and delusion…

It is inappropriate as a well educated adult, that anyone should use curse words over and over and over again in a voice over a whisper in the library. 

It is one thing when you are downtown in a bar, or in a private apartment, when you are drinking, and laughing, and acting ridiculous, if the language is not appropriate for your mother. 

But not in the Law Library.

I love watching the 1Ls ask professors questions after class.  I love to listen to their questions.  And I love watching their faces, while they listen with rapt attention to whatever the professor has to say. 

What I hate is how I can’t get through the hall because they are in the way.  But getting to watch and listen to them ask questions is almost worth it. 

Dean Shipley’s students are my fav.

My 8:30 class is real estate transactions.  Do you think that is a good enough reason for why I dreamed that I bought a house I could never afford last night?  The house I bought was enormous – and – since I’m a student – I couldn’t afford a house at all, much less an enormous one. 

Maybe I have watched Entourage onDemand a few too many times.

So, Ally, Kipp and I were chatting on IM today, during class, in a chat room.  It was hilarious.  Here are some excerpts.   Obviously, it was a lot funnier in class, but still, funny. 

allyescott5: hey – is John  a big
drinker?

allyescott5: he always looks hungover

 CKP10: I don’t know John  really

SupesK: No.  He’s from California.  He is
also operating on West Coast time.  It’s like
3:00 a.m. for him.

allyescott5: he’s been here for 3 years

CKP10: ha

allyescott5: you’d think the jet lag would wear
off

SupesK: He has a very sensitive biological
clock.

While discussing our visiting professor and trying very hard not to laugh and bring attention to ourselves:

SupesK: And he’s from Sandwich . . . or
Cape Cod if he is trying to impress a girl.

CKP10: what does that mean?

allyescott5: I think its funny that his hometown
is called Sandwich

CKP10: that is hilarious

allyescott5: I am from Grilled Cheese, GA

SupesK: I would wear Sandwich, Mass.
t-shirts everyday if that was where I was
from.  With a picture of Reuben or
something on it.

SupesK: And a slogan like . . .  "Sandwich,
Mass.  It’s tasty!"

CKP10: I’m from Hoagie, N.C.

allyescott5: ahahhhahahahaa

CKP10: stop

CKP10: y’all are killing me

CKP10: I can’t breathe

allyescott5 has left the room.

CKP10: where did she go

SupesK: Her and I were about to lose it
back here.

SupesK: I’m literally chewing on a napkin
right now.

CKP10: she and I

CKP10: ?

allyescott5 has entered the room.

allyescott5: yeahI am looking at hurricane
victim footage to try not to laugh anymore

And discussing why some of our textbooks never make it out of the locker:

SupesK: There’s a book in here?

CKP10: I mean, I don’t have one

CKP10: but I think alex does

CKP10: and christian and rakesh are
sharing one

allyescott5: hahhahahahhha

SupesK: I think it is in my locker room. 
Right now I have my copyright book.

allyescott5: I have a book for this class that
I’ve never opened

 allyescott5: it lives in my locker with my crim
pro book

 CKP10: it is shy

CKP10: and doesn’t want to get a sunburn or breathe second hand smoke

CKP10: scared of cancer

CKP10: knows what happens if you get
cancer better than most law books

SupesK: Crim Pro.  Definitely never
opened that book last year.

allyescott5: that and its suffering from a totally
irrational fear of the police state

CKP10: well that is Crim Pro’s fear

CKP10: Health book is afraid of cancer

 allyescott5: yeah, those two hanging out is a
recipe for antisocial behavior

CKP10: no kidding

CKP10: no wonder they are so boring

allyescott5: and crazy

allyescott5: let’s never forget crazy

 CKP10: sitting in the dark, discussing all
your fears, is bad for you

 allyescott5: yeah, especially if you are doing it
with a bottle of vodka and pictures from
your childhood

 CKP10: stop it

allyescott5: I’ve never done that by the way

allyescott5: I just know someone who did

SupesK: Yeah, it’s usually not Vodka.

Allison, Cristina and I went to breakfast this morning at Five Star.  We normally go on Tuesdays, and Christy goes with us, but yesterday Allison couldn’t go, and Five Star was closed, so Cristina, Christy and I went to the May Flower instead. 

We noticed a couple of interesting things this morning. 

The parking meter lady and the bacardi delivery guy are in some sort of relationship.  And they were having some sort of drama this morning.  We watched them halfway talk, halfway make out for about half an hour. 

Allison isn’t ready to get married.  Here is her quote:

"I’ve been thinking about it, and I think I want to elope, and then just have a party.  And by "have a party" I mean send out an evite for everyone to meet us at a bar and buy us drinks.  Not to rent the place out or anything.  I think this is evidence that I’m not ready to get married quite yet."

The weather is so amazing right now, it makes me tremendously happy to sit outside and eat breakfast.

Last night I was being antisocial.  I bought House on dvd, and it is my new favorite show.  I LOVE IT. 

I also recently acquired some new coffee travel mugs.  If you are in the market for new coffee travel mugs, these are what you need.

Today is the first friday of my last fall semester of school.  Ever.  Which is exciting. 

I am still working on my schedule, but I think it is going to work out.  Obviously it is going to work out.  They won’t let me stay here another year, they will work it out if I can’t get it together.  But I think I can. 

I’ve been having a hard time about whether I should take the environmental law practicum or not.  I think I am going to, even though Christian has abandoned me at this crucial moment (but I’m still trying to talk him into moving to Denver with me). 

Right now I am burning CDs that Ian gave me.  He and Megan keep me up on all the cool music.  All the cool music that I couldn’t get from James – my new best friend in Colorado. 

Okay, I’m going home, I’m starving, and I have to be back to go to class at 12:30 on South Campus.  Yeah, that’s what I said – SOUTH CAMPUS!

I had a nightmare last night that the vending machine prices went up and that I didn’t have enough change.  It was really scary and I woke up sweating.  AND I just realized that I threw away a cap from my Mr. Pibb that was a winner. 

I am currently signed up for 7 hours worth of class.  This is a bit low, I really need around 13 or 14 hours of credit for the semester, and it really panics me that I only have 7 right now.  But I can’t do anything about it since there is no registration today.  AND I went to a class today where I paid attention and took notes – only to get an email that I am not allowed to be in that class and that I must drop it. 

So I have a book I have to take back, and 6 or 7 more hours to find, pick up, buy books, and cross my figures and hope that I get to stay in that class. 

Our trial practice class is going to be lots of fun, but the professor didn’t even come to class today.  Which I was pretty happy about.  We left him a note that we would see him next week before we all left twenty minutes after it was suppose to start. 

In other news, I’m going to try to substitute caffeine for adderall, because I really think too many people abuse it, and I don’t want to be associated with it and all of the negatives that go along with it.  But we will see how it goes.  I think I can handle it, and maybe just use it for finals when I really need it. 

I only know one first year.  It is so weird having all these people that I don’t know wandering around.  I’ll have to get to know them.  Maybe.  Depending on how much energy I have. 

Now I am going to be studious and go read and eat my peanut m & m’s.

I have been checking my grades compulsively.  I got back three grades yesterday, and I have two more still out. 

My sports law teacher emailed me today to tell me that he never received my paper.  I thought I had emailed it to him on the 10 of May.  Well, I sent him an email – but didn’t attach it correctly, and he responded to my email, and I assumed that meant he had received the paper.  I almost had a heart attack at the tender age of 24 ½. 

But I emailed the paper to him for real this afternoon, and the file hasn’t been modified since May 10th, and he emailed me back and told me that he would grade it today, so everything is okay. 

The bottom line is that I only have one grade that could possibly show up on my georgia law this afternoon, but for some reason I can’t stop signing in and checking every 15 minutes (okay, okay, every five minutes). 

The ridiculous part is that I haven’t even thought about my grades in around three weeks.  But now I am making myself crazy.   I have some obsessive tendencies.

It has been a long day.  If y’all will do me a favor and keep my friend Kim in your prayers, she is in the hospital.

Also, a 3L at UGA died over the weekend, so please keep his family in your prayers as well.

I am going to go take it out on the pavement with my new friend Katie and then go try to decompress at the Braves game (the Rome Braves that is).
