In the present absence of anything to say of lasting cultural value, I submit my schedule yesterday:
6:15 a.m. Woke, showered and went over notes for class (again). Consulted law dictionary 10-12 times. Sweat pellets.
8:30 a.m. Attended Contracts class with Dr. Fenton. Was prepared, but once he started grilling the girl next to me I began radically rethinking the notion of what it means to be prepared for class. Sweat bullets.
9:45 a.m. Left class and headed to library. Checked out “Biography of a Legal Dispute” and began reading.
12:45 p.m. Realized book was on reserve and 15 minutes overdue. Walked to desk, checked book in, checked it out again and walked back to continue reading.
12:49 p.m. Detected hunger.
12:55 p.m. Arrived by bicycle at house, where my landlord was installing vinyl siding in the rain. Declined offer to assist. Found sandwich and ate it.
1:15 p.m. Back in library reading “Biography.”
2:45 p.m. Briefly looked out of window at the thunderclouds.
4:45 p.m. Realized book was overdue again and went to front desk to check it back in and out.
4:55 p.m. Peeled self from chair and attended Legal Research and Writing with Dr. Kohlrieser, who before class started actually gave me a bonus point for pronouncing her name correctly (it’s coal-ree-ser). Realized I have a paper due in less than a week.
6:00 p.m. Found seat in library and began reading “Biography” again.
8:35 p.m. Finished “Biography,” which was now overdue again. Joked with librarian until she let me off the hook for the 55-cent fee.
9:00 p.m. Got home, ate a bowl of soup and began jog with Scout.
9:15 p.m. Thunderstorm begins, drenching us. Lightning becomes general. We pause for safety beneath a large poplar on campus.
10:00 p.m. Get home, dry off and head upstairs to study. Brief six cases for Property and Civil Procedure while listening to Yo Yo Ma’s Appalachian Waltz (thanks Nate).
1:00 a.m. Crawl downstairs and into bed. Bedroom light stays on.
1:01 a.m. Begin dreaming about action of ejectment for lands in the State and District of Illinois, claimed by the plaintiffs under a purchase and conveyance from the Piankeshaw Indians in 1773, and by the defendant, under a land grant from the United States in 1775 …
