Oops, almost forgot.

GO BEARS!!!

creepin up

It's November. Before you know it, finals will be here and I'll be thinking...AWW CRAP! IT'S DECEMBER ALREADY???? But you know what? I'll definitely rest in comfort this Dec. knowing that I'm halfway done with law school. HALF WAY BABY!!!

Hmm. So, it's been a hell of a month.

First, the fires. This is like, THE San Diego topic this month. And for good reason. For those wondering, I'm fortunate enough to live about as far from any fire as anyone could in San Diego. Unlike a number of my friends, colleagues and professors, I did not have to evacuate. I just had to stay home. Which I didn't do. Classes were canceled for the ENTIRE week. As bad as I feel about the situation, I sure as hell took advantage of the situation. Let's face it, this was, essentially, the last time in my life that I would have a situation where school would be canceled for a week and I'd have a GRIP of unexpected free time. What was the result? I don't remember much of last week. It was an alcohol-filled week. If I could trade my enjoyment for the fires never having happened, I would in a heartbeat; however, I can't, so I might as well enjoy it.

Surprisingly, the Halloween party wasn't canceled as I thought it would be since everything else was canceled. Well, that was good times. But again, good times I barely remember. I only remember having a blast.

The consequence of the canceled classes? We have to make up a weeks worth of classes within the next 5 weeks. You know, the 5 weeks right before finals? But, truth be told, I don't think it'll be THAT bad. I mean, yea, this semester has been busy as hell, but I think I've received enough training in law school that I, and I believe most of us, could handle just about any amount of work someone could reasonably throw at us. Anyways, moving on.

I find it quite funny how differently the upperclassmen and the 1Ls responded to the class cancellations. It seemed to me that as upperclassmen, we KNEW how huge getting a week off of school was, like a surprise vacation. Thus, the 2Ls and the 3Ls, from what I saw, enjoyed the week. We partied it up like it was 1999. The 1Ls, however, seemed to react to the situation like a different kind of blessing. One in which they'd get extra time to study. To which I say, silly kids, you'll never see this again. ENJOY IT. Did I study? Of course I did, but not for the entire week. By the time I started studying, it was the weekend and I was preparing for classes for the next week during the weekend, like I would any other week. Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed my week off.

Of course now that it's November, I'm getting in finals mode. Which means, working more hours than before. Prepping for class ahead of time so that I could have more time to review and stuff. Ahh yes, it's finals season.

What else is going on? Ah, California football. What can I say. We were sorta number 1 in the nation for an hour or 2. Then, once we begin to look like we earned some respect, we did what we always do. We say "no thank you nation" when the respect is offered and collapse. From technical #1 to unranked in, what was it, 3 weeks? Ah yes, California football. How I love and loathe you all at the same time. Eh well, it could be worse. At least I'm not a Notre Dame fan.

Alright, that's all for now, time to get back to work. I'll seriously try to update more often.
