Grooving in a Fishbowl

By Useless Dicta

I don't know about the rest of the law schools out there, but at Useless Law School the study rooms are pretty much fishbowls. Each study room has a giant window and everyone walking past can see who is in the room and how much they are studying (or procrastinating in my case).

I'm usually pretty conscious of the fact that everyone in the world can see you while you are in a study room. I tend to situate myself so that my computer is facing me with my back to the wall, that way people can't snoop at my screen and I can see people coming so friends who wander by don't startle me when they poke their heads in to say hello. But today I apparently forgot the rules of fishbowl study room. I was plugging away getting things done that I have neglected for weeks (lots of clinic work) when suddenly my iPod starts playing Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer. Before I knew it I was jamming to my music and apparently doing a little pseudo dance at my computer while I was typing a letter. Lucky for me one of my friends happened to be walking in the hallway and saw me doing this. She stopped at the door, looked both ways down the hallway and then did a little air guitar number before continuing down the hall.

Sad that this was the funniest thing I think I've seen in awhile, I laughed for a good five minutes.......ah the small joys that reading week and studying for exams seems to bring :)
