Dim the Stars
A childhood friend of mine lost her mom suddenly yesterday to a heart attack. I had known Carol since I was a little girl. I have so many fond memories of her. I have been at sleepovers in two of her homes, eaten breakfast at both of her breakfast tables, and sat across a dinner table from her too many times to count. She was a wise, kind, and lovely woman. And she will be missed.
Carol was...

PEMDAS
I sometimes feel like my life is an elaborate series of order of operations. I have to make sure everything is done in perfect order or else everything falls out of whack.

Now That We're All in Agreement About My Damage
I just realized that the book my sister lent me tonight is the same book from which my therapist photocopied an article for me yesterday.
Maybe I should just start seeing my sister once a week.

STABBY, STAB STAB!
No, I do not mean “leave reaction!” Stop suggesting that! What the fuck is that anyhow?
I am searching for slave reparations.
Fucking Christ, search engine. This is a law school, not a nonsense academy.

Sporcle Quiz: VH1 Top 100 80's Music Artists →
I’m pretty much an expert procrastinator. And I guess I have a good memory for useless trivia. I just scored 98/100 on this quiz. I feel at once proud and appalled.
And now, I challenge you.

So, I noticed a funny thing while on the Tour de Nerdfighting. Not only was the biggest cheer of the night for the part where I stuck “Benedict Cumberbatch” into Book 8, but pretty much everyone had seen season two of Sherlock.

Important Questions for the Grammatically...
1. If you end a sentence with a name that ends in “Jr.” do you place a double period there?
The best Supreme Court Justice was William J. Brennan, Jr..
Looks weird, right?
2. On a resume, a section titled “Publication” or “Publications”?

And This is Why I Hate Group Projects
Yesterday I told my group that I was having a family emergency and that I needed to defer to their decision about selection of three potential project proposals to submit to our professor today. All they had to do was pick from a fucking list provided by the professor.
Apparently, neither of them responded to my e-mail yesterday, nor communicated directly with each other. So, now we’re...

Overwhelmed (This is a Rant Post)
I keep trying to handle this but I think the point is that no one could handle this. I’m tired, I haven’t studied in days, even though I keep showing up to class, I’m driving at least three hours a day, I can’t make a decision which is kind of a big decision, because I literally do not have time or energy to think about it, and I keep feeling like I’m pestering the...

Dude, Seriously?
Where I was 30 minutes ago: Warm and comfy at a coffee shop with a hot herbal tea and the potential for a cookie.
Where I am now: Freezing in the library, waiting for a student who is apparently not going to show up for the meeting that she scheduled just three days ago.
Where I could be: Warm and comfy at a coffee shop EATING A COOKIE.

For My Friend, Who Needs This
There are few things as difficult as dealing with rejection, whether its from someone we love, or for a job application, or even an application to grad school. The thing that is hardest to remember when we’re in that low moment is that usually when a rejection comes it’s because that thing we thought we wanted - that person, that job, that opportunity - is not where our future lies....

Attention Parents:
I need to give a baby gift to someone who does not have a baby registry. They had a boy about a month ago. They said they would prefer unisex gifts (I guess that means nothing in blue?) and they specifically requested homemade items or organic stuff (is stuff organic?). I would prefer to buy online and would prefer not to spend more than $20 or so.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Losing My V-Card
This post comes with an asterisk*.
The Women’s Law Society here is about to put on a production of the Vagina Monologues. They have secured a small space from the theater department and the performances will all be done by law students. To their credit, the purpose of this performance is to raise money to create a paid summer internship position with the Family Law and Domestic Violence...

Russia, China veto U.N. resolution on Syria →
This is unconscionable. The international community has limited options to put pressure on a state that is massacring its own people short of an individual nation making a decision to intervene militarily. The two security council nations are blocking a resolution advocated by the Arab League. Based on the proposed amendments Russia wanted to add, the subtext here seems to be that neither...
