BWE 11: So not slacking

Oh, I am a terrible hypocrite!

I encourage the 1Ls to blog, especially when they are busy. “The busy times are when it is most important to blog!” I say. “You’ll thank yourself for writing!”

So of course I don’t condescend to blog when I get busy. Do as I say, not as I do right? I feel like a governor…

Luckily the free-for-all that is “discussion time” in my family law class is the perfect time to blog! I am so not slacking at this…

So, what happened last week?

Well, the most exciting thing about last week was the heat! I think it got to 80 degrees one day, but maybe I’m exaggerating… maybe it was 90 degrees, or 100…

Regardless, it was warm, and the grass came out:

The undergrads now lounge-about outside, and the scandalous daisy dukes have arrived. Hopefully this also means an end to the leggings epidemic that hit campus this winter! (Leggings are still not pants by the way…)

The great thaw is also exciting because Minnesotan drivers don’t do well with melting snow:


I’ve seen more car wrecks in the past few weeks than during the worst snowfall. Although this may have something to do with the amount of cars hidden in snow-filled ditches…I think the situation will improve now that the roads are dry and ice-free, but I’m probably wrong.

Other than the car wrecks and heat, last week was also the week of the work-out. I made to the gym about 4 times and constantly walked the dogs around the lakes.

My apartment building has also resumed its craziness. There are constantly drunks lounging in the stairway, people passed out in the hallway, mystery smells, and one of my neighbors must have given up walking her dog because there are little nuggets of joy waiting for me on the back stairs most mornings. Delicious.

And I would be remiss for not mentioning the boyfriend, but it’s hard to describe a new relationship without a fatty serving of cheese, so, let’s just say he’s so smoking hot that sometimes he looks like his pants caught fire:

That’s from Pechmans recreational fire…and no, Judd didn’t actually catch fire… I think…

So…my family law class has graduated to a new level of ridiculous. Some of my classmates think it is appropriate to tell a 100-person room of their peers the intimate details of their parents’ “loveless marriage” and the resulting emotional issues they now face.

I blame this overshare on the professor, who solicited it. The looks of disgust are hilarious…but this does not make it easy to focus on blogging.

Damn it class! You’re getting in the way of my writing time! Ugh. Luckily this disaster is ending for today, and I will keep with my blogging duties from now on…and provide more coherent “best week ever” posts…at least more coherent than this…possibly, maybe…
