Crazy Much? You Betcha.

Who is that crazy girl sporting a pair of iridescent pale blue pumps in her gym shorts and an oversized "gay? fine by me" shirt, brushing her teeth in the bathroom at 3:30 am?

Guilty as charged.

But in my defense, I was practicing my walk in the new pumps. And of course, one of my suitemates managed to catch me in the act of looking stupid.

Awesome.

Because people did not bother to call me, the "planner" of the get-together, to tell me that our dinner plans were canceled for tonight ahead of time and left me hanging until the very last minute, my first free Friday was basically completely unproductive and went to shameful waste. I was pretty pissed off for several reasons; the most rational being that I DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING TIME TO WASTE ever this quarter.

So, I walked from the furthest edge of the UCSD campus back to my dorm after being stood up, fuming but resolved to get at least some work done before the day was over.

I ended up reading six (albeit printed on small pages) chapters about law and the judiciary process in America, skimming through most of the 60+ pages of the tedious details of NEPA, finishing a Supreme Court case summary, and reading three examples of legal briefs tonight. Not bad, if I do say so myself.

Saying this will make me sound like a SUPER NERD, but poring over those hundreds of pages explaining the judiciary process and various Supreme Court cases was a cinch because it was all really fascinating material to me - probably a lot more fascinating than descriptions of different types of courts and how each of them function should be for the average person.

I have to write two legal briefs for my environmental law class by Tuesday; reading the examples my professor emailed me actually left me feeling more intimidated about the daunting task though.

My environmental law professor is an attorney who has been fighting on behalf of the environment in California for eighteen years by day and a UCSD professor by night. My judicial politics professor has been a full-time law professor at CWSL for twenty-four years and acts as a visiting professor in the UCSD political science department on the side. Pretty crazy, huh?

I am pretty sure I will know if I want to go to law school or not by the end of the quarter.
