Confessions of a Litigious Mind

The random, irrelevant musings of a law school graduate.

the dance continues

oh law school, so everything's not running on schedule? weird. oh, so things are kinda fucked up? no fucking way, i dont believe it. so you still use obscure language to veil your shittiness? i didnt even see it coming. ha, yeah right.

so here are a couple snippets from an email the school sent to the students this morning:

"the Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar (which is the ABA committee responsible for accreditation proceedings), “granted acquiescence in the Law School’s application to open a second location in [new location] at which students would be able to earn all the credits necessary for the J.D. degree” and “decided to permit the School to file for provisional approval of the [new] location during 2006-2007 and, in the course of that application, to request that the [old] and [new] locations be considered one unitary law school and that provisional approval (or full approval if the requirements of full approval are met) be granted as a single unitary law school."

ok, they can request to be a unitary law school. well, if it is unitary, then why the fuck cant i take 5 "distance learning" credits instead of 4. i mean, would it theoretically even be distance? isnt all learning distance? i mean, the professor is usually a good 5 yards at least from the front row, and maybe up to 20 from the back. talk about distance!

"The one-semester delay in our variance means that about 35 students whose schedules had contemplated a variance this fall have had to work with Dean [fuckface] and our Academic Affairs Office to make some adjustments to their schedules. Happily, we have been able to add a few core classes at each of our locations that have made these adjustments much easier. I am very grateful to the affected students for working so cooperatively with Dean [fuckface] to make these adjustments."

oh, but right, nothing gets done on time, i forgot. and also, thats pretty much a blatant lie. not only did they not add any courses i could take (the registrar only mentioned 1 added course total anyhow), but they also removed a course i could have taken. very helpful, thanks. so there's nothing happy about it. the adjustment was not easy, and now i hate my fall schedule even more than i already did, which was a lot. you should be grateful to those students who you fucked over. i'm sure you're not really however, and you're just giving us lip service. well, my advice would be to close the door to your office and give yourself some "lip service," fucker.


in other monday morning news, i got about 4.5 hours of sleep last night because my dog got sick. no reason, he just spontaneously gets sick sometimes. took a fucking shit all over my floor. cleaning shit off the floor at 230am is a good fucking time, trust me. then i couldnt sleep, cuz i knew he'd do it again. i just barely averted disaster when i woke out of my barely sleeping state at 4am and let him outside. awesome.

i hope you all enjoyed the ugly girl motivational monday. there should be a requirement to get a second opinion before buying a shirt like that. then again, i guess only ugly people would buy the shirt. yeah, keep telling yourself that, girl. it's not your looks or even the shirt that got that guy to come home with you, its the tremendous amount of jager he drank before meeting you. rest assured he regretted it come morning.

dominique is back from canada though, and i got to talk to her last night. that made me very happy. that was my monday motivation.

Good luck with that mess. I think the combined weight of your fall semester + your sick dog = good karma for the rest of the year.

Dean Fuckface. You'd think he'd have gotten that legally changed by now.

Good luck :-)

I miss Canada... where Celene Dion owns every restaurant, the streets are paved with Barenaked Ladies CD's and cigarette cartons have black lungs and dead babies on the front.

If that's not a perfect society (with ketchup chips on the side) I don't know what is.

boooo. all the more reason for you to do an externship in the spring, in a land far, far away from Law School. on the other side of the earth, even!

oh, and also: interesting how we will no longer be getting a new building - just a refurbished one. good thing the walls are lined with asbestos! yummy.

re: the dog mess: i only got 4.5 hours of sleep, too. but it was not because of a sick dog. or anything, really. still, i feel your pain.

hope the summer gets better for you. (go golfing. twice as often.)

dominique: welcome back to the southern portion of the United States! (or maybe the middle portion? do we own mexico, too?) :P
