I don’t know what it is to be hit with a train but I imagine it is something like how I was felt walking out of the Torts final.

Three exams. Three hours each. Scared? Yes ma’am. My grade comes down to these tests. I am motivated when I am backed into a corner. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. My least-favorite holiday because I feel under pressure to gather together with people when I would prefer to be studying. I think I am just going toContinue reading “Finals Week of 1st semester as a 1L”

I was so looking forward to this movie back in 2020. Then freakin’ Covid happened so it got postponed. Then it got postponed again. I saw it tonight with the Thursday crowd. I really enjoyed it. Picks up right where it left off. Gives some backstory on what happened that night in ’78. The dialogueContinue reading “Halloween Kills (2021)”

International law, Immigration law, maybe Antitrust and some criminal classes. My goal right now is simple: #1Continue reading “4 Weeks into Law School”

I don’t want to jinx myself but I am not overwhelmed with schoolwork. That might be a problem. I do the reading the night before class and I get the assignments turned in on time. I don’t “study” the way I should. I read the text, understand it and then move on. I am theContinue reading “Two Weeks Into Law School”

These lovelies are going to love growing on my balcony.

This film has a scheduled release date in January 2022. January?! What horrow film comes out in January? There are two times a year when slasher films should come out: summer (obviously!) and Halloween. Who thinks “geez I’m cold, let’s sit down to a slasher film and a cup of hot cocoa!” Nobody! If theContinue reading “Scream 5”
