Orientation 2/2

good grief
i was there from 4:00-9:45 PM
i was exhausted by the time i got home around 11:00

another day of long speeches
this time in Westminister Hall
which is a church attached to the school
(Edgar Allen Poe is buried in the backyard!)
anyhow, that room was sooooo cold
i was literally freezing in there for 2.5 hours
and they served us ice-cream too...
what were they thinking?!?!

then pizza was served for dinner
more mingling and a student organization fair
signed up my name at the Intellectual Property booth
as well as the Asian/Pacific American Law Association booth
(i had to... come-on!)

then an hour about the honor code and ethics
from this day on,
we have to report to the dean any crime committed
such as speeding tickets, DUIs, etc
this question was asked on the application
and was stated as, not including "minor traffic violations"
well, most people thought speeding tickets are minor
but apparently they're not
so those people all have to go see the dean
i'm just glad the one speeding ticket i got was dismissed
whew!

and then came the sample class
i read the case, but didn't brief it
therefore i wasn't totally prepared
and so i kept praying...
don't call on me...please don't call on me..
(the funny prof from last nite was right--
if you weren't religious before
you're a devout believer now in law school!)
luckily i wasn't called on
but it scared me enough to make sure i'm prepared from now on

first day begins tomorrow
so it's back to those 21 pages of torts for me

I don't know anything about torts..
Tarts now...

I'll write 5 page paper on tarts.

There are pop tarts, frosted pop tarts, strawberry tarts, toasted and none toasted...

what was I talking about again?

(It's happening more and more often...)

hahahhaha
you crack me up
i just think the word "torts" sound cool

Cadd said...

I don't know much about torts either, but if you're talking about tards, I'll show you my expertise!

I always hear this from my friends "you freaking tard! what's wrong with you?"

When I see a little kid wobbling around holding onto daddy's fingers on the street while he's drooling all over the place trying to walk in a straight line, I say "look at that little tard, can't even keep his mouth closed or walk straight".

So if you've been arrested, you can't become a lawyer??? Looks like that ends my decision of taking the LSATS.

Oh well.

VVN said...

i'm not sure if it means that you can't be a lawyer...

just that you have to disclose that on your law school application and then again when you apply for the state bar exam...

Why don't you post the murder case with the 2 men with a kid on the boat lost at sea?

I still think they should've cut a piece of steak off themselves before killing the kid.

What kind of boat that didn’t have a spear or a fishing rod?
Or leave the sick boy on the deck of boat … and wait till the seagulls or sea hawks to come…and (BANG)!!!!!! with the paddle or something!!! BIRD meat!!! Chicken of the Sea!!!

I came up with another one!!

Turd!!

like like... "dude... why is there a piece of TURD in your living room floor?"

me: "oh... pp left a piece of TURD for me to clean up"

VVN said...

huh?!?! i'm so confused...

oh!!
you're referring back to the torts thing
dude man...that was like a couple of comments back...

and here i was, trying to link it to the boat scenario..."put turd out for the birds?"

VVN said...

oh and quit it!
we're getting WAY off topic!
