I think you need to fix that “check spelling” button. I can’t be expected to spell correctly on my own.

I take any chance I can to combine Latin phrases with Freudian phsychological defense mechanisms.

Hmmm, the “party journal” in relation to what?

ex ante rationalization

What a great word-phrase-type-thing. I’ve needed that one before.

Ha, believe it or not the Tax Journal is supposed to be the “party journal” — whatever that means. I’m waiting for grades to decide which ones to preference, but I’m actually not holding my breath for any of them. In fact, I’m not even sure that I want to be on a journal at this point — but that’s probably just ex ante rationalization. If I am going to spend 20+ hours a week on a journal though, I’d like it at least to be interesting (and prestige never hurts), so I’m thinking “main” journal and international law.

you would shun down sex for a post-exam drag?

K Dogg-

Reading your post was like re-living my exam (and write-on, and summer) experience. Please, at least for my sake, don’t write a post summarizing your first year of law school. I’d hate to re-live it. Good luck w/ grades and law review…mine are coming back decent.

I so miss College… and I can so relate to that post exam high… but don’t worry I am sure the Board Exam will be worse … and I so miss a 9-5 job, even unpaid… sigh… On the good side, when you open your practice (if you ever do…) you will be able to charge a lot of money for the job your paralegals will be doing for you… -

Still, this is how I have lived my entire academic life; I am used to adapting and accepting the consequences that months of slacking perpetuate: cramming. My mind, however, is stubborn. It will not function until absolutely necessary, and then only reluctantly, sporadically between 12 and 4 a.m., and only when coaxed by quasi-legal stimulants and 3 packs of cigarettes.

Except for the part about cigarettes and quasi=legal stimulants, I can say that’s how I’ve spent most of my post-secondary academic career. I hate people who are always on top of things. Damn overachievers.

Glad you made it through that first year.
