Alright. So I haven't really discussed much about law school this summer. Let me fill you in. 4 weeks have passed since the start of the semester. Usually that means many more weeks to come. However, this is the summer. Thank goodness for short summer semesters. Only 3 more weeks and then its time for finals...again. That means study, study, study while putting the rest of life on the back burner. I can't wait to get done with this crap and start making some cash to pay off all those student loans that I'm racking up.
This semester isn't too bad. The classes involve a lot of work (go figure) but they're not all that difficult...of course I haven't taken the exams yet. I'm learning about death and who gets what. I've been reading lots of boring cases about old people and those damn kids that fight over the bank. The other class is primarily the 4th Amendment involving suppression of evidence and what the police can and cannot do...stupid criminals that hire good attorneys. A few more weeks of pain and then I'll be two classes closer to graduation. Of course I still have about 20 or so more to go.

One of those commandments
Okay, okay, okay...no more bitching. I've returned from the blog vacation, or so that's what it seems like. You'll get your fix now that I have enough crap to talk about again. It got to where I had to pull crap out of my crack just to come up with something to say. So now, I'm refreshed, locked, loaded, and ready to blog. I make no promises, however. I have some interesting thoughts to share as well as some more random law school crap that has occurred over the summer. I'm bogged down at the moment. Not enough time for work. Not enough time for school. I have work, school, the patent bar to study for, and last but not least...a friggin' law review thing due by the first week of August.
My life currently == m4j0r sux0rs at the moment. Well not really. Actually most things are going great. Good times, good times. If I can just dump school and my job and go straight to the yacht phase of my life...then I'd be kickin'. But I can't.
What to discuss? Oh I got it! This evening (before dark of course...you'll know why I added the daylight comment later) I went with a friend to pick up something from one of his construction projects that he's in charge of. Well this place was smack dab in the middle of the hood. I felt like I was in a Master P video. The only two light skinned dudes in a mile radius. Perfect. I asked by friend, "Dude this doesn't look like a very safe place." He said, "Oh, it's not. People get shot here just about every day." I thought, "Oh great." As I'm leaving (and of course residents are trying to figure out why we're in their neck of the woods), I notice a school yard. In the middle of the school yard, there was a sign (and this is no joke) that said in big bold letters "Thou shall not kill." Whatever fears I had just went right out of the damn window. Get me out of this place. It is my intention get a picture of that sign to post for your pleasure. You'll enjoy. Ta ta for now.

Random quotes from my new class
First is the quote from outside of class:
"If you come across an older lady that has one foot on a banana peel and the other in the grave, then tell her I'm available." -- Random old guy at the bar.
"Why should you get married? Yes for love and compassion, but more importantly: money." -- Professor (a middle-aged lady) that is teaching us about inheritance.
"People will expect you to know this as an attorney. You'll be at a cocktail party and someone will ask a question. So, you should know this." -- Same prof. - In reference to something that is important to know.
"Death and taxes...everyone has them. This class is the death part." -- Same prof.
"Do you exist if you're not yet born? Yes, Dad may die while you're still in the freezer." -- Same prof. in reference to being born from frozen sperm.
"In this state, you have to live 6 months apart before getting a divorce. What if he kicks the bucket 3 months into the separation? Guess what ladies, you win the prize money." -- Same prof.

Turning the page
It's the start of a new chapter and I haven't even received all of my grades from the previous semester yet. A new beginning, a fresh start if you will. The beginning of the semester is always so much easier than the pressures at the end. Of the two courses, both professors seem to be pretty cool. That's a plus. However, I am not looking forward to the massive reading assignments again. Time to get reading...
