Blogging Again
Hey there. Sorry for the big ole lapse in blogs. I decided this year that "holidays" meant "doing nothing" and have been acting accordingly. I've been extraordinarily loser-ish lately, culminating with my bedtime of 10:00 PM on New Year's Eve. Yep, I slept through the party. I figured since I had a migraine and was the only one home, I might as well be unconscious. It worked quite nicely. :)
Speaking of migraines, I'm off to the doctor A.S.A.P. since my drugs seem to have become inaffective. At least I don't have school to worry about. :)
In other news, I did spend the last week knitting my mom a scarf. It's awesome. Maybe if you're really nice, I'll make one for you, too!
Ok, time to sit around and snuggle with my animals (I'm at my parents' house, so Peckasso, my cockatiel, gets snuggled too).
Happy New Year!

Comedy Gold
Well, ok, maybe it's not that good, but I still found it rather amusing.
30 Second Bunny Theater
It's a Wonderful Life was particularly good. Well, all of them were particularly good. What I found fascinating was that, despite the fact that it was done with flash bunnies, they actually did a good job picking out some very key points in the movies. I especially liked the interpretation of the theme music done in bunny voices.
I also liked that they were bunnies. Because I like bunnies.
In other news, I'm actually starting to do things as a Hedgehog Welfare Society Rescuer. Two people found my name on the HWS website and contacted me about adopting hedgehogs, and now two people have said they have hedgies who need homes. Ta da! I'm hoping that before too long, two hedgehogs will be happily settled in their new homes.
Sophie is also doing very well. She takes naps with me when I take breaks from studying. She splats out and snuggles up to my side. I'm pleased to say that after 12 months of hard work, she finally seems to enjoy herself while around me irregularly.
Time to study. Or put off studying. Haven't decided which yet.

Whoo Hooo!
I finished my Torts exam today at noon. That's awesome. I'm watching Earth Sea on Sci Fi. I love cable. It's awesome. Nothing quells the strain of legal analysis like good science fiction/fantasy. That's my way to de-stress, you know. I come home from my exam at noon-ish, eat a bite or two, and then read a novel until I am tired enough to sleep. Then I sleep until 4 or so. It's a great way to get over all that exhausting thinking. That being said, I still dreamed of tortuous situations and their legal impact. Bleh.
So, my last exam is Wednesday. Civil Procedure. Just the way I like it (or not). I need to start reviewing notes tonight, write up an outline tomorrow, and study more on Tuesday. Or something. Whatever. I'm ok with studying more, as long as it's tomorrow. :)
Actually, studying isn't so bad. I don't have to memorize stupid things or verses in foreign languages. I can go to a coffee shop where I can comfortably sip tea in the presence of other studious individuals. I can glance up at sunlight and plant life. It's very pleasant when compared with arduous hours spent alone in an uncomfortably dank, windowless concrete prison (aka Humanities Practice Rooms). Besides, the stuff I'm studying is really interesting. Yay. :)
Ok, back to watching Earth Sea. Yay for fantasy!

Today I got up at 7:30, took a nap from 7:45 to 10:30, was up until 12:30 and then took a nap until 4:30. I think I'm coming down with something. I'm going to go to bed again now. Yay exams: Torts on Sunday. :P
Cheers!

P.S. I am totally incapable of printing double sided using those odd or even page settings. First, instead of getting evens after the odds, it just printed the whole thing, and now I ended up printing the even pages right on top of the odd ones. For whatever reason, the logic to the process is beyond my grasp.
Cheers!

Contracts is Done Forever
Yay. Didn't feel too bad about the exam. I hope not to feel too bad about my grade as well. I don't think we get those until late January. No hurry.
I also found out that, while many of the people with whom I have had every class so far have classes together again next semester, I am not in those classes with them. Fortunately, I was not one of the unlucky students that was assigned 7:45AM classes 5 days a week. I only have 7:45AM classes one day per week. It's a writing analysis class. I'm done with all classes by 1:00PM, which is a nice change, since I had classes until 4:30 and 6:30 four days a week this semester.
I also have Professor Dickey for my Criminal Procedure class. He wrote a good portion of Wisconsin's Penal Code. He is very very intelligent. He has also stormed out of the Criminal Law class he was teaching this semester because he didn't feel his students were well prepared. Yeah, he's a little intense.
I'm sad, I'm going to have to make all new friends in my classes this semester. :( Good thing I'm generally outgoing, cause otherwise I'd be out of luck rather than just rather unlucky.
