OT:Finals Suck.... Balls

2008 - present, the semesters of Mgoblog. I don't have a chance.

Yeah, I've been specifically holding off on buying any new games until after exams are over.  Not sure it's a strategy that's working.  I just find other ways to procrastinate (gotta get three stars on every Angry Birds level!).

Whoa, whoa, whoa, back up there buddy. You can play NFL Blitz on your laptop?! I've been looking for a copy for my PS1, to no avail.

It was Super Buster Bros. on my SNES. I remember one time when I had to leave the system on to keep my game alive (no memory cards or internal memory), and a girl (friend of a friend) who came in turned it off. I was livid and almost kicked her out.

Super Mario World got a lot of my time, too. It is and always will be the best game ever.

Try preparing for a trial that your career hangs on. Trust me, preparing your law school stuff is far less pressure packed. You may want to sleep. With this stuff, you can't. Life is the real test bro.

I'm trying to study for my first exams as a 1L.  I've never looked forward to a x-mas break so much in my life.

That class was great and the final was pretty easy. Who is your communications insturctor for that course? I had Olson

I mean, wtf is a short sale anyway? I really don't fucking care, hence me writing this post right now and not going over my outline. 

Get past the 1L and it's all downhill from there. You learn the game, how to spot the issues, apply the law and, most importantly, how to answer questions without really answering. Keep your head up and just think - soon you'll be done and have tens of thousands of dollars in loans to pay off and you'll be wishing like he'll you could turn back the clock!

The one peice of advice - with most law professors, you are just hunting for points during a typical blue book exam.  If you have no idea what the answer is, just try saying as many correct things as possible, present all sides of the issue and try to gather as many points on the questions as you can. Then find a question you know the answer to and kill it.  BTW - the essay section of most bar exams works like this too.  (This information is 14 years out of date.  You still use blue books, right?  Please tell me you still use blue books!) 

Good luck.  You will make it through.  Try not to drink too much after the last exam.  Actually, forget that last part.

Saw that last weekend and it looked like there were still leaves in the trees.

It's always like that this time of year in AA, however the crows in the cemetery are creepier. I've always wondered where the hell they all come from.

while walking to a game at yost, the damn crows/ravens were in the trees all along McKenzie as it funnels everyone to yost.  all I heard were the plop, plop, plop of bird guano on the sidewalk and street.  Everyone was trying to avoid being poo'd on.

You better not be complaining about a philosophy final.  I'll take away your man card.

But the apology doesn't really fit...

John U. Bacon?

That's all good reading there. Just put yourself into the historical context of the writer and it's crystal clear.

At least The Leviathan isn't on there.  Goddamn Hobbes.
