An honest chronicling of a student's journey through Virginia Law school, hopefully with some humor thrown in to liven the mood.

Ode to Laptops

Posted on August 31, 2008
I know I haven?t written in here for awhile, but the professors? new laptop policy has really got me peeved. So, I?m back for now at least. For those of you who aren?t up on this, teachers are increasingly banning the use of laptops in class...

DVD's in the Library

Posted on March 05, 2008
Dear Jackasses Who Smudge the DVDs,Please, grip the DVD's on the side and possibly even in the middle. Also, do not place the DVD's anywhere but your DVD player or the DVD case. That way, when I get the movie out, it won't be randomly skipping because you smudged the hell out of it...

Beautiful Charlottesville

Posted on February 06, 2008
Today was one of those days that UVA should package and send out to all of their prospective students. By the time I wandered into class today (10 am classes are quite awesome), it was in the mid-sixties.Now, some of you (those from the Southwest and California) are probably wondering what the big deal is...

Course Evaluations

Posted on February 04, 2008
One of the great things about UVA is that you can see all of the teachers evaluations. Glancing through, I came upon this gem:Her intense interrogation of the student on call really taught us how to read the cases better and how to scan for keywords...

And We're Back

Posted on January 21, 2008
We are now back, returning to UVA for a second semester. I still don't know my grades so this second semester really could be short lived.I got back into town last week, just in time for the giant snow storm. That was pretty damn exciting since people in Virginia don't know how to drive normally and definitely cannot handle the snow...

Twas the Legal Night Before Christmas

Posted on December 24, 2007
Whereas, on or about the night prior to Christmas, there did occur at a certain improved piece of real property (hereinafter, the "House" a general lack of stirring by all creatures therein, including, but not limited to, to wit, a mouse.A variety of foot apparel, e...

Finally Done

Posted on December 20, 2007
Ranking my exams in order of difficulty, hardest to easiest1.) Criminal Law- Dear Lord in heaven. If I next time I tell by reading a statute whether it's MPC or commonlaw, it'll be the first time. I did not consent to the sexual contact that test made with me...

I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

Posted on December 16, 2007
Sorry for disappearing. Some personal things came up and then when I got back to school other things (video games, books, movies) took precedence over the blog.Anyway, since I've exhausted all the other forms of studying, and because I received an e-mail from TJ's Doubleplay asking why I died, I figured I could post a couple of thoughts about exams...

Holy Crap

Posted on November 09, 2007
I would like to thank TJ's Doubleplay for linking me because that one link doubled the number of visitors to my blog, not for the day, not for the week, but doubled the total number of people that had ever visited it. And, it was for one of my sloppiest entries ever...

To People Who Leave Their Laptops Unattended In Order To Save Their Seat In the Library

Posted on November 06, 2007
Greetings! As you obviously are aware, we have an honor code here at UVA that leads to you getting expelled after one incident. One of these violations is stealing. There is very little crime at UVA, which is attributed (by silly people) to this Honor Code...

Midterms

Posted on October 16, 2007
Here at UVA, we have graded midterms that don't count for anything. It's actually a really good system because it lets us take our first law school test without all the stress of our entire grade riding on it.This is nice because law school tests are different from every other test I've ever taken...

Comments

Comments are now unmoderated. So I no longer have to approve them so you can now see your writings on teh screen as soon as you write them.

Softball

Posted on October 15, 2007
Some of you may be aware that UVA has a major obsession with softball. I mean, this is hardcore activity at this school. People often claim to care more about softball than about law school. We like to call these people "winners" because I know that I also came to law school just to play softball...

Apologies and Congratulations

Posted on October 08, 2007
First, I would like to apologize for the dearth of posts the last couple of weeks. I've been quite busy and sometimes it's difficult to find things to write about that aren't specific to me, thus revealing my secret identity. If some villain pierced my cover, it would render me virtually as an ace detective (10 Schrutebucks to anyone who knows the comic book movie that last sentence references...

I swear this isn't a traffic blog

Posted on September 22, 2007
However, I find that the easiest thing to complain about is the traffic because it doesn't legitimately affect anybody negatively here. (This is a huge difference from my movie and sports blogs engage in rather severe name calling of certain people. I'm looking at you Orlando Bloom...

Library Part II

Posted on September 20, 2007
Of course, the day after I write about the Library guy, he disappears. I've not seen him in a couple of days. Of course, the interweb was out here on campus so maybe he's only in the law library to l33ch it.Update: Ah, there he is-2:05

First Thing We Do, Let's Kill All the Lawyers

Posted on September 19, 2007
Bonus points to whomever gets that reference. Leave the answer in the comments.Anyway, the longer I'm in law school, the more esoteric law references are funny. My small section and I crack jokes about liability, contracts, mens rea, Civil Procedure (actually, that's probably the least funny out of all of them...

Crocs

Posted on September 18, 2007
This has nothign to do with law school, but I hate those things

Library

Posted on September 18, 2007
The thing about Law School is that you spend an inordinate amount of time in the library. For some, this is because they wish to study. For me though, some of it has to do with living off campus for the first time in my college career. Where else am I going to go?When you go to the library on a regular basis, you start to get a particular study spot...

Crickets

Posted on September 05, 2007
The past couple of days I've been serenaded as I've walked into the law school. Down by the parking lot, in the lower part of Withers-Brown Hall, there's a potted plant. i think it's a fake potted plant, but regardless, it's there. Inside said plant, there is a cricket...

Art

Posted on September 03, 2007
When I first came to Charlotteville, the first thing that struck me was ?Holy Crap, you can?t drive in here!? After a couple of days, that feeling was entrenched and will never be gotten rid of. However, once you accept that the layout of the city was designed by someone who was inspired by Jackson Pollock, you start noticing other things when you?re driving??Like the giant pieces of art...

Labor Day

Posted on September 03, 2007
Here at Virginia Law, we have a really cool policy. That policy is that National Holidays are meaningless. At least, that?s how Labor day is treated. Instead of getting our much deserved vacation day after a grueling two weeks of organized drinking events and group activities, we?re forced to have class today...

Weather and Resteraunts

Posted on August 23, 2007
The other day, a restaurant owner informed me that there were 500 restaurants in Charlottesville? Really? How are they all supported? Do people just eat out constantly? This is insane.The other thing is most of these places aren?t chains. They?re little individual restaurants scattered throughout the town...

Driving

Posted on August 22, 2007
One of the things you notice when you come to Charlottesville is that none of the roads keep the same name. Honestly people, how hard is it to have streets maintain the same names for the entire length of their run.You?re driving along, minding your own business, and all of a sudden, Emmet Street turns into Seminole Trail...

Insurance!

Posted on July 10, 2007
Leaving home for the first time is a real pain. On top of moving all of my stuff to UVA, I've now got to pick up insurance, both medical and renter's, for the first time.Medical is completely insane. I just have this scary idea that none of the stuff I may have need done will be covered...

Why does my password look like Sarge swearing?

Posted on July 01, 2007
Digital Security is no laughing matter. Since we do so much electronically without ever speaking to another person directly, our digital identity really needs to be secure. Otherwise, I can end up with "Sex and the City: The Complete Series" charged to my credit card without my knowledge...

Summer

Posted on June 15, 2007
I kinda figured my summer heading into law school would be filled with some job related to the law. Yeah, that is definitely not what my summer has been.I don't know how much this applies to the rest of you out there, but finding a job in a law firm is really difficult when you don't have any background with the law...

First!

Posted on May 12, 2007
Hello readers. Now, I realize that there are no readers to read this at the moment as I just started the account. And, since I'm trying to maintain some sense of anonymity, I am unable to broadcast the existence of this blog, and will have to slowly disseminate knowledge of its existence to the masses over time...
