Maybe We Don't Like Being Belittled

I had a really funny story from yesterday but it is totally inappropriate for public display. Therefore, I’ll write about something less traumatizing and more consequential:

My First Immunity Day

How much would you pay to not get called on for one class?
95% of the kids in law school were the ones in undergrad that couldn’t wait to answer a question; many of them probably grunted and waved in their quest to be heard. Some would probably pay extra to listen to their own voice. Times have changed.

For one day only, professors promise not to call on students who donate a specified amount to charity. Some of the less scary classes run in the neighborhood of $5, Prof. CivPro is $10 and apparently PC is $30. Donating blood also works.

How miserable must life become when a law student is willing to pay $30 not to be called on for one Thursday class. There is only a slight chance of being summoned and these people are willing to pay $30 to eliminate that possibility. PC remains an elusive creature that I know nothing about; I’m scared nonetheless.

Prof. CivPro will once again be out of town on Wednesday and Thursday, thus voiding any benefit from buying immunity.

He had better things to do on both Monday & Tuesday of next week as well, so he assigned us a substitute teacher. Apparently our fill-in is a huge favorite among the current 2Q’s that had him for LARC I. Judging by Prof. CivPro’s enthusiasm we are about to get violated.

To celebrate the Immunity Day, SGA is sponsoring a Riverboat party on Wednesday night. If you want to hang out with the 1Q’s and attempt to hijack our lady-folk, we are taking the 7:30 departure, leaving ample time for karaoke @ Scruffies.
