Hey all. First day of law school classes tomorrow. I'm kinda psyched. I mean, this has been my destiny since I've been old enough to talk (thereby making me old enough to argue). I've been doing my first law school readings, and its been kinda a mixed bag.
First, there's ConLaw. Mr. Marbury, meet Mr. Madison (or more accurately, don't meet Mr. Madison, as he isn't going to deliver your commission. Ever.) I guess this will be the first test of how different law school will be. Is this going to be the same case I read 3 times in undergrad, or will there be a new and different way of thinking about it? On a related note, I think Starbury v. Madsen is a phenomenal name for an IM basketball team, and am REALLY hoping that I can talk a group of people into it at some point.
Second comes Civil Procedure, or CivPro. Yikes. Stripes. It took me a while to figure out what the hell the case was about, then took me another readthrough to figure out the rest. I think I've got a handle on it though. Supposedly, Prof. Abernathy makes your first three weeks hell on purpose, and calls it Boot Camp. I think I'll do better at it than actual boot camp, mostly because i think there will be less running and fewer push-ups.
Finally, Torts. I know its only been a day, but I love Torts. Case in point: A guy gives a co-worker a "friendly, unsolicited hug," while at work. Upon pulling away from the hug, the co-worker has suffered "paralysis of the face and mouth." I mean, damn. Is this guy Iron Man? Is it even conceivably possible to hug someone that hard? I've given my share of hard hugs, but never to the point of doing serious physical harm. And the kicker is that the judge appears to think that paralysis is a legitimately foreseeable consequence. I have no clue, but at least it's a ton of fun to think about.
Aside from that, I've been playing lots of soccer, and keeping up with the world of Azeroth before bed. Saw the National Symphony Orchestra last night, and you haven't lived until you've seen a set of classically trained musicians play the theme from Looney Tunes. You really haven't.
So, class tomorrow. I hope I can actually get some sleep.
May all your hits be crits,
B

You've got to tell me what case that is for torts. It sounds like an absolute hoot.
Are you doing Federal civil procedure or what?
Glad to hear everything is going well. It sounds like terribly much fun.
(Although, if you do start up that basketball team, there'll probably be running and push-ups...)
