Law school updates

Snow day woo! Pancake breakfast time! But first, update the blog.

Subchapter K of the Internal Revenue code kills puppies and makes truckers cry.

I just noticed I read for class more as a 3L than I ever did as a 1L when Tranny Head called me out via Twitter. I think its because the supplements are better for 1L classes and I was focused a lot on exam writing and had such limited time back then. I manage my time better now, because I have a wonderful husband helping me out. I don't worry about practice exams until the last few weeks, and I'm taking classes in which I am interested. All of that adds up to reading quite a bit. Also, I read differently now because I have kickass outlines from prior awesome students--I read to confirm and update and get big picture, not to laboriously create an outline. World of difference to me.

Yes, I am SUCH a dork. Also, I am not currently suffering from crippling depression (just the usual kind), so I am able to keep up. I don't get as whelmed.

Law school prom is Friday. I am uncharacteristically excited. I am wearing a cocktail length dress I wore to my brother's wedding, but wish I were wearing a long one. Going with a few girlfriends, crashing at the hotel with one of them, and generally not behaving like the responsible married woman with a child that I am. Well, I intend to have a few drinks anyway. That's about as debaucherous as I get. But still... woo!

Well, it wouldn't be a law school update if I were not bitching about something, so here it is. Two adjunct profs don't have their grades in yet. Not mine, so why do I care? Because of our ridiculous curve--yes in upper division classes too--we have deflated GPAs compared to neighboring law schools, so we usually just put on class ranks if they're pretty good. No grades = no updated rank = no apply for jobs.

The law review stuff I am doing right now is the opposite of enjoyable. Big news there.

Don't you hate it when blog posts kind of peter out as opposed to having a point and coming to a proper ending? Yeah. . .
