gripes

there's some must-see tv this evening, so i'm going to keep this one short.

i need to begin with an important announcement: based on the precedent pitler established today, our criminal law class will henceforth be held from 9:37 to 10:52 a.m.

it was at once agonizing and amusing to endure the seven minutes of overtime this morning in crim. pitler had his back to the clock, deeply engaged in conversation with one student in the opposite corner of the room, completely oblivious to the mutters, shuffles, unpluggings and zips of one hundred students who were anxious to exit stage left. however, it may have been worth it to hear pitler's spout off this instant classic: "don't let him trick you. don't let him beguile you with his serpent tongue."

say what?

anyhow, as i made my way through our beloved school today, i accumulated a list of gripes which i would like to share with you now. it just sort of struck me that for as much as we pay to enroll at BLS, there are many things which need drastic improvement. i call this list "what $34,000 dollars should buy you, but doesn't." this is only a partial list. hopefully some of you will help me add a thing or two to it.

What $34,000 Should Buy You, But Doesn't

• ethernet jacks at the study desks that don't implode after 8 weeks of use
• doorways to the stairwells that are actually designed to accomodate more than one user at a time
• paper towel dispensers that yield their treasure without my having to dig around in them as if i'm performing a prostate exam
• elevators that fucking move as directed, especially in the minute before i'm late for class
• a study area on floor 2M in the library that doesn't always smell like hot farts
• enough space to get to my locker so that i can extricate my torts book without having to place my face in some dude's crotch

before i go, i'd like to give a shout out to "tortfeezr", "belladonna" and "short person" for logging in and posting their feedback with a nickname rather than under the generic "anonymous" handle. i think that this thing will be much more interesting if we can have some continuity among comments.

that's all for now... keep your eye out for future postings that will explore the following pressing issues:

who are the most wonderful people in our section? is the bluebook quiz the shittiest fraud ever perpetrated against the 1L's of BLS? and who is this scott kreppein character, anyway?

i'm out like the gout.
