It’s finals time for me for my online class. Yet spring break for all my other classes. When will I have a moment to myself???
me in a nutshell
Gah. I hate labor laws. But it’s interesting. Like I could totally read on about Norris-La Guerta act all day long if I wasn’t graded on it.
I want to strike while I write a paper on strikes.
OTL
And top it off: I have yet to do any homework for my other classes.
I’m not one for stereotyping people of the LGBTQIA community… But tonight just made me feel so weird about the date with Shellbelle.
Me: I saw your post on tumblr about 420. Lol bring a joint next wk?
Her: I don’t know how to roll a joint, but if you have any we can try it out. Or smoke from my bowl. Oh. One thing though… If my mom is home and if she wants to meet you, I’m telling her I met you at school. She probably would like to meet you and talk about your home town since she’s from there too.
And that’s when I was like “What?” How did we get from 420 to her wanting me to meet her mom? And that’s when it hit me. This totally has to be a mini u-Haul moment. I never dreamed of being in one. Nor did I think I would have met someone whose faster than me in that sense. And it makes me think… “Does this mean she wants to have sex like on the fucking first date?” “Is this how I used to come off as?” “What?” I just don’t know what the hell happened.
But in the end I said; “well, it’s ultimately your decision if you want me to meet your mom: if she wants to meet me too. I’m cool either way, and I can say I went to your school and say that’s where we met. It’s not that big of a deal.”
But me- not the stressed out me- always had a problem with that. So I guess I’ll find out how this all goes down next week… I know for a fact she’s pretty hot, and apparently wants to get laid (which I’m all for that, but with someone I have more… Substance with), so what else is really stopping me/ giving me this uneasy feeling now?
I found out from E-man back in philosophy at my alma mater, that Nicole has been dealing with a lot of stuff… Which finally explains why she hadn’t gotten back to my emails, texts, or calls.
Her cat died- he was a rescue cat, and was there during the whole thing with Dr. Rabbit, a big part of the parties she hosted… And then on top of that, she has an overload of a workload. I thought I was bad, but nope she takes the cake!
I feel awful for calling last night looking to ask her to be a reference for a job application…
It’s settled- I’m going to take her out for a drink this weekend I get back.
Right after my midterm/ class, I hit the road home eating out my lovely co-pilot… A bag of popcorn.
As soon as I get back in town, I get rear ended by this little kid who was texting and driving.
The next day (Saturday), I went to the bank, and saw Bucky. I didn’t expect my breath getting caught again as soon as I saw her. After we chatted and right before I left she asked me to let her know when I’m in town again because she wants to get that cup of coffee still. It totally raised my spirits to hear her say that.
Since then, I’ve been just staying afloat in class. Tuesday, I was made a fool out of by the professor, and so I tried to make it up to myself by volunteering every day this week.
Tomorrow is my coffee outing with Mo and then I don’t know… I really want to go back home and take Bucky out but…
I really should study.
I am away from wordpress for a month and a half and everything has changed.
Anyway, life is hectic. Today is the last day I have to myself before becoming a full fledged law student since class is at 9am tomorrow morning. I also live in grand rapids now… And this is the first time I am away from my family, and it’s hard on them, me, and even my dog whose apparently been crying…
My mom sent this to me… Those tear stains break my heart…
Things have changed a lot… Caro for one thing, changed from being the shy bisexual girl to a very open bi girl looking for another body building girl… Which that’s definitely not me, despite my weight loss of 25 pounds since the last time I wrote. And I’ve come to terms that we’ll just be really good friends despite having a lot in common, and finding her somewhat attractive (i say that because I’m not into the bodybuilder type).
There was a girl at the bank back at home that I finally decided to come out to, and also called her cute- Let’s call her Bucky (since he favorite actor is Sebastian Stan from Captain America 2). Sadly, she seemed interested in going out for coffee this week… But there’s a problem… I’m about 3 hours away (180 miles as another estimate). So here I am, living in a place that I know nothing or anyone in when I have a potential future girl back at home who is losing interest, and fast.
Don’t you just love how life fucks with you? I have been telling Nicole how I got the cute girl’s number at the bank since May… And yet I was too shy to talk to her until the week before I left, and decided to chase after Caro, whom I had a feeling was unattainable since I first developed a small attraction to her back in February. So I guess I really screwed up there. But at the same time, I’m glad I didn’t start any relationships because I’ll need all the time and devotion I have to studies and not someone else.
Sigh… I sometimes hate prioritizing things correctly.
Well, as of 9:30 pm yesterday, I had finished my first law school exam. It was absolutely crazy intense. The teacher had said that there are services for us afterwards if we were stressed and needed to see a counselor… I had thought she was joking. How wrong I was. I literally walked out of the testing room feeling so defeated while on the verge of tears.
I ended up coming home, dropping my backpack with my laptop on the ground (not a smart move…) and cried in my mom’s arms.
Needless to say, I’m going to spend all night studying.
Take one down… and synthesize them all. I must have 66 cases memorized for tomorrow and Wednesday.
In 15 hours I will be in the city preparing to take my first final as a law student. And what have I been doing in lieu of it? Reading my eyes off, talking to Caro (not as much as usual), talking my feelings about her to Kris of how I’m so lost about how Caro feels about me from the other day, and being constantly on tumblr (since I got rid of Facebook-cold turkey). Kris had asked me what I told Caro, and I told her about how I was explaining Jenn groping me with dragon puppets, and then how Caro said that’s TMI and slightly scolded me for being too open. Kris said: “Dude, that’s not what you tell a chick you’re trying to reel in… I don’t care since we are friends, but this girl likes you. The more ex stories you tell, the more she feels like she’ll have to add up to them.” That’s when it finally hit me. So I’ve been feeling like a bigger ass since Wednesday…
That’s one case down… Many more to go…
So since this is my blog, and I’m tipsy and I control most of the direction it goes to… I’ll go over some stuff for US Legal System to help study…
Law is divided into 4 main categories
-international v. municipal
-civil v. common
-public v. private
-substantive v. Adjective/procedural.
The old forms of action are: Replevin, detinue, debt, covenant, trespass/on case, trover, and ejectment, general/special assumpsit.
Modern law derives from the common law in England…
Loss of consortium basically when one person sues over the loss of services/ companionship of another (started with only husbands to wives, then vice versa, then kids to parents, but hypo is social worker to child)
The Doctrine of Stare Decisis is not only a bitch, but directs court to look at precedent when making rulings.
Ratio Decidendi is the rationale of a case (for example: I run a red light, go to court, the judge starts talking about when others who had done the same thing I did, killed people therefore I should be punished in hopes of deterring future crimes from myself and from others. That rationale was the ratio decidendi).
Privity of contract is basically the relationship of people entering into a contract and ability to sue each other.
Strict liability is the breach of not making something completely safe.
There’s more but I should probably go to bed.
Funny how my day can go from boring due to homework about cases with drugs and guns… to happy that a guy at a vegan restaurant I’m frequenting lately was mesmerized and all smiley and knocked a table over by looking at me with a dorky smile spread on his face… to feeling awful for going overboard while talking to Caro about the time Jenn groped me in a store… To extremely horrible on the car ride home from Chicago because of the realization that I don’t want to see my family anymore since it’s nothing but stress over by them with crime and and I just want stress to leave me alone because of two upcoming finals, and a article that needs to be published that’s overdue by a month is coming up next week… To just painful because I just want to lay here and continue crying and screaming out all the pent up anger from not being able to breathe in my own life, into my pillow as I have for the past 30 minutes.
I figured, since I’ve been bottling everything up and not writing lately, it’s why I’m feeling out of control.
The past month and a half just seemed to fly by. I can’t believe that I have one week left before I have to take my first final for law school… Maury can sum up how I’m feeling about this:
