1 down, 5 to go

well, i really can't believe that we've made it through a semester of law school. exams were a truly shitty experience, but at least they're over with. i'm pretty sure that i got a D or F on the con law final, but whatever. that's just part of being menlove. i'm just not that far along the bell curve, and i'm too dumb even too realize that at any moment, i'm likely to set this whole hayrick on fire.

so what i've decided is that if i manage to end up in the top 90% of the class, i'll come back for another semester. if that's the case, menlovian will also be back, bigger and better than before. we'll have two new classes and three new professors to bust on, which should be amusing. plus, civ pro will be combined into a big section, so we'll have even more laughs to share, and my section 9 centrism will become a thing of the past.

if i wind up fucking up as badly as i think i did on the exams, and land in the bottom 10%, i've decided that that'll pretty much be it for me at BLS. there's just no reason for me to continue racking up fifty grand per year in loans so that i can continue to earn D's, and wind up having absolutely no job prospects.

so there you have it. it's out of my hands now; all i can do is wait and hope, which i imagine is what all of you are doing as well.

oh yeah... i need to welcome our newest freak to the fold. what's up, "sick chicken"!

i'll post periodically throughout break, and let you all know what's going on with my grades, my love life, my summer job search, and the huxtables. if you care about any of this nonsense, feel free to check in. as usual, the message boards will be open 24/7, so you're all welcome to share your thoughts on your grades, what you're up to over vacation, or about all of the inter- and intra-section hookups that took place on monday night. (that's right, i heard about it already. we all know, and we're all talking about it. we think you're nasty. don't worry, i'm not judging you. menlove likes the freaky shit.)

one last thing... here's a great article i found about what rehnquist's recent illness might mean for the next decade of american jurisprudence:
