Yes, it is 2:45AM on a Sunday night, or should I say Monday morning, and I have just now finished my 5 case briefs for Moot Court. I have class at 9:30 this morning which means I have to be up in 4 hours and I am in no way even close to being ready for bed. Not to mention, I have class tomorrow from 9:30AM to 9:15PM. Do I want to cry? Maybe a little.
I absolutely in no way can skip any of my classes tomorrow which is even a more painful thought and what is even more painful is to think of what next week is going to be like. 5 more case briefs, a paper, and a test.
The word briefed should not be used in reference to the task of case briefing. It is way too deceiving and evil and misleading. When you have a 30 page case in 8 pt font from 1890 is there really an easy way to summarize it and apply it to the competition case? The answer is NO!
Now I am going to go lay in my piles of papers and try to get some work done. The only thing that keeps me happy is this:



Thanks Gwen! It is honestly my favorite thing in the entire world right now!! And on that note I will say this..."That's what she said...or he said...."

How drunk are we?

I know I've been gone forever, but I have had good reason. School has started and my life has become mania once again. So I thought I would do a quick update of what's going on in the life of Penny over the past month.

I'm taking 15 units and all of them are upper division which means this semester = death.

It's the third week of school and I have already broken down to my mother and cried to her about how I can't work this semester because I am already dying.

Moot Court was the worst decision of my life. I have to know 22 cases backwards and forwards and then some how accomplish the feat of reading for my other classes.

I have to debate in front of judges this semester. Dear God.

I purchased Season 2 of The Office and it is my favorite thing in the entire world. I cannot wait for Thursday! Season Premiere. We are so close to it that even my TiVo is telling me it is going to be recorded.

My brother came down the other weekend. It was fun. Wine is good, but summer colds are never fun.

So that's my nice little summary.

Oh and there's this boy and he makes me smile. :)
