A brief dissertation.

There's a reason I called this blog my necessary outlet.
Things that are necessary are not always easy, but they are, well,
necessary.
I turned in my first case prediction on 8:30 Monday morning and what was supposed to be a 3 page paper I could barely trim down to a 4 page paper and easily could have made a 15 page saga. I've spent the last four years earning an English degree and learning things like "creativity!" "expand!" "flavor!" Now it's "clear." "concise." "mechanical."
Put a girdle on your work, Chelsy.
A girdle...really?
Ok, let's work through this analogy. I promise by the time you're done reading this girdles and law school and blogging will all tie together- How do you put a girdle on a case prediction?
When you put a girdle on- you're smoothing things out. But the extra "stuff" doesn't disappear, right? It's gotta go somewhere. It needs an outlet.
So this blog is more or less...my girdle.
Though I have precious little free time, and despite the fact that it's not a deeply ingrained habit yet- I will blog because I need to. My creative writing has to go somewhere so that only the fine grainy boring stuff gets sifted back into my case predictions.
Much love.

As a side note:
to anyone considering buying the hotpockets paninis- don't go with the ham and cheese. the rye bread is undesirable.

My Multiple Identities

In the last three weeks, I have heard shpeel after shpeel about how I am in law school now and how I am no longer going to be treated as a student, but as an attorney. Slowly, today I found that some professors use this only conveniently and to their advantage, case in point:


I am an attorney when you want me to deliver the facts of the case in fluent legalese.
I am a student when you don't show up to teach class and don't have the courtesy to let me and 152 other "attorneys" know about it.

not very nice Professor...



Oh well...at least when he's there he makes me laugh :)
He reminds me a lot of Lewis Black. Especially when he's doing his disgruntled, suit-wearing bit.

This picture's from his website...am I gonna get sued for using it? look what law school is doing to me...

*On a MUCH more ECSTATIC note*

09.05.09- CEDAR POINT-WOOOO!!!

There's a commercial that runs for the Cedar Point in my area that has all these hard, edgy teenagers that look really imposing and they all stare right into the camera and ask, "Are YOU a ride warrior?" Every time I see it I want to stand up, gather whatever weaponry a ride warrior gathers, and stand shoulder to shoulder with my comrades declaring, "YES! I AM A RIDE WARRIOR!" All while epic music is playing in the background.

I cannot put in words the love and affection I have for roller coasters. Things that go high fast and come down faster....ahh. Words cannot describe. There is truly no recreational activity in this world that I enjoy more.

Well, this attorney/student/ride/warrior needs to go be a regular adult for a little bit. Pay bills, clean the apartment, etc.

Fare thee well.
