Day 674: Pay the Man
Sep. 23rd, 2008 11:26 pmIt comes, and it does happen. I slept in past my alarm for thirty minutes but made it to school in good time anyway. On the way I ran into a 1L who is in my ward, by name of Jake. I keep forgetting that the law school has less than 500 students and so people know each other much more, but he knew me and said hello. I didn't recognize him, but in my defense I was staring into a light when he called my name. He said he was from Logan and seemed friendly enough, but I don't know that I've seen him at church or FHE, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't in institute. Still, it would be nice to have some young allies. It is a bit difficult, being the odd girl out, because all the boys seem to have banded together, as much as I'm friends with Will and Dan. It's pretty much me and Angela against the world.
I got homework done, like witness exam, crim pro, and reading for crim law tomorrow. (Starting in on homicide. Whee!) Practice went well, although we never had a steady set of girls as Amber and then Jen were ill in turns and so we had to shuffle a bit. It's hard to concentrate on cross examining someone while keeping an ear out for their answers. (Seriously. The witness says yes so many times it's like being an IH staff during morning chores.) I totally missed it the first time my witness lied. And I'm pretty shaky on short-form stage one impeachment bail out. I'll find out what happens, won't I? It's not easy, making decisions about which gun to use on a witness while scrambling to figure out where the lie is in the first place.
I'll confess to being a total doofus and coming home and watching too much TV for my own good. I watched the premiere of Heroes, which was two episodes long. Yay for Hiro and Ando and Peter and Adam coming back. Uber-blech to Mohinder kissing Maya. I really wanted her gone. And she suddenly speaks English now? What's up with that? It was a bit freaky, watching that one evil pyro burning that one woman alive. All right, I confess, it was downright disturbing and left me feel a bit tainted. I watched House and totally called the little PI dude becoming House's new sounding board buddy. I like him. He's funny. I also watched Fringe on my mom's recommendation. As a general rule I avoided anything with Joshua Jackson in it once he was on Dawson's Creek, but this show was pretty good. I enjoyed it.
And then I worked on the appellate brief of all suck. My mind works far too fast for my hands and it's hard to juggle the arguments I need to make versus the arguments I can make. Also, I need to do some chopping, because the limit is twenty pages and I'm already at sixteen pages. But I still have one more main point to make as well as an argument summary. I have the feeling that my facts and issues do not count toward my twenty-page limit, so I might be okay. This is going to need so much hashing over. I want to shoot myself in the foot.
But now I should sleep.
My cleric made it to level 11 today, so now I have a dragon-born fighter. Yay.
