and let me just say that i am beyond fucking happy at the extinction of constitutional law in my life...well, until the bar exam that is...but, never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, let me just say that i am beyond ecstatic that i will never have to take another fucking exam in which i have to read a three lines extracted from a case and have to decipher which fucking judge said it, in which case, and whether it was in the majority, concurring, or dissenting opinion. sounds fun huh?
even more fun is that judges, during their tenure on the court, tend to stick to a general theory of a case, depending on the issue...so basically reading a few sentences and deciding which judge said it, in what case, and in what opinion capacity is about as precise of a process as looking at only a guys fingernails and deternining, with exactitude, his penis size down to the millimeter. and aside from the fact i really don't understand what knowing which case an abstract of information came from really has to do with my understanding and knowledge of the principles of constitutional law, it's a fucking shitheaded thing for a professor to do.
and that was the fifty question multiple choice. i'll spare you the details of the bullshit essays he gives us, but giving two and a half hours to finish three hypotheticals, which each are three pages in length, with the caveat of "discuss all the constitutional issues that arise" given the fact we had about thirty-five hundred pages of text/cases to deal with is just fucking mean! mean i say!
but i'm done!! and though i think it's impressive and amazing that my professor has such an undying love and interest in constitutional law, he can suck my left tit as he fills in the "C+" grade next to my fucking name..because i know my shit..i just didn't answer the question how you wanted it answered, even though i answered it correctly, and thus i get a lower grade. gotta love mandatory bell-curve grading...it's truly a definative showing of intelligence and knowledge of the subject matter, isn't it?
regardless:
no more con law

extremely good news about my pappy and for the first time in a while hearing the happiness and joie de vivre back in my parent's voices=
so yea...on down, two more to go. and let me just say it's pretty fucking sad that i'm excited to take my summer school classes solely because they have nothing to do with law..but god knows my faith in learning and education neds a serious replenishing.
anyway, i haven't slept since sunday (thank you tylenol pm for that glorious night of sleep and thank you sofie for not jumping on the bed at eight in the morning, per usual) and i'm pretty much strung-out on adderall and full thorttle energy drinks. my brain is pretty much a goulash of legal concepts that have no real application outside of bullshit educational settings, and writing sentences that don't contain legal catch phrases like "violative", "respondeat superior", and "qua partners" is really more of a task right now than it should be...
so basically ain't nothing worthwile a-coming from me by way of written text..so i figure why not take this awesome moment where for once in my life i don't have something to blabber on-and-on-and-on about in my true fashion of verbosidy....and take it back to the old skool..
aww yea motha fucka!
now, maybe it's just me..but whenever i take long exams that tend to be rather important to my academic (and subsequent professional) life, i get the most fucking annoying songs in my head..and they just appear out of nowhere. during my SAT's i had "stayin' alive" by the bee gee's playing over-and-over again during the entire three hours of the test; during the MCAT it was none other than tiffany singing "i think we're alone now" on repeat in my little head; during my LSAT it was that "thong thong thong thong thong" by sisqo...
and for a while i thought it was just pretty much a standardized test thing. the banality of standardized testing just sent my wee little mind into "must-stay-awake-and-feign-giving-a-shit" mode, and somehow that just translated into fucked up annoying songs on repeat in my head. but then i entered law school, and during my first law school exam (which was torts), i found myself sitting there thinking of whatever restatement section specified the attractive nuisance doctrine....and there it was..."turn around...every now and then i get a little bit lonely and you never come around".....FUCK! fuckin bonnie tyler blaring in my inner self while i'm trying to take my first law school exam....
and then it clicked. all those bullshit standardized tests were three or more hours. no finals i took in undergrad or in high school were that long. no ap tests were that long either...thus, the song phenomenon was secluded to standardized testing...until i entered the fucker known as law school. finals are four or more hours long....and like fucking clockwork, obnoxious songs would cue up and play for each and every single final i took that year....and last semester....
and today was no exception.
today's bastard song of utter and complete disconcert? "ice ice baby"....
oh yes! "stop! collaborate and listen" to four and a half fuckin hours of mother' fuckin vanilla ice.
talk about fuckin' torture. on top of an excruciating exam regarding a subject that i would rather have my teeth pulled one-by-one by a wrench than study...mother fucking vanilla ice!....and during the entire test, i'm sitting there thinking:
