IRAC is SO Last Week.

Dear Prof. LARC,

Remember that time you stood me up in class and said, “Nobody cares about your opinion”? I hate to say it, but you were wrong. I respected your insights and was militated into disregarding any and all opinions I once maintained; I have subsequently failed Torts.

In my opinion I deserve compensation for your gross misfeasance.

Granted I haven’t yet received my grade but I have a bad feeling.

I don’t want to violate the honor code by divulging test questions, but I was supposed to spend 30 minutes discussing, in my opinion, which Justice in a specific case had a better decision and why?

I thought it was a trick question so I just wrote, “My opinion doesn’t matter” and moved on. Looking back, I don’t think that was a good idea.

Hopefully I learn from my mistakes. When Prof. CivPro asks how the opposing counsel’s motion for summary judgment makes me feel, I’ll be sure to parse out my loathing, fear, and anguish, complete with stylized smiley faces and excessive punctuation.

Respectfully Yours,

Jonathan Swanburg

Don't throw in the towel yet. Some of my best grades came from classes I was absolutely, positively sure that I was going to have to re-take.

Unfortunately, you'll have to agonize over the next 7-8 weeks for the grade deadline to come (and pass) before you'll know for sure.

Finally, something we agree on. The torts exam was stupid and prof. torts was not good at teaching.

that question WAS ridiculous.........who the fuck cares which justice we agree with on some case thats over 50 years old? when i read the question i became confused, and then thought maybe i had stumbled into undergrad con law...but alas. i spent 30 lines repeating the same sentence...then at the end i wrote, "there was no harm, so the plaintiff cannot recover". hopefully i'll get almost full credit. after that i spent 30 minutes using back and forward slashes to draw a smiley face....that was throwing up all over the exam.

HEY SWANBURG CAN YOU HOOK ME UP WITH HALEY.

I’ve been trying to add Haley to my brothel for eons but she keeps negotiating for a bigger cut. Pimping hoodrats aint easy, pimping law school girls is damn near impossible.

But why worry about Haley? For $50 I can hook you up with any non-winning cast member from American Idol seasons 1 – 3. Tell them you’re a producer they’ll pretend to like it for no added charge.

1) so does that mean that if i stop commenting on your blog you might kill yourself?

2) i think it would be unsafe, swanburg, to have a brothel compiled of undergrads AND law school girls...that's just asking for trouble.

who wants to buy me my first post-exams shot? is that you raising your hand swanburg?

Alright well I am going to Ask Haley out on a date. Wish me LUCK. I;ll do it after property.

I’ve spotted a few problems with the plan.
1) Haley’s last final is CivPro on Monday. She won’t likely be around after your Property test.
2) You have put both her and yourself in an awkward position. Don’t tell someone they are going to get asked out at on a certain date and time; be spontaneous.
3) Haley hates all people at first so don’t take it personally. She will be mean, vituperative, and vulgar. Until she has administered at least 1 count of IIED, she won’t be your friend, nevertheless date you.

Having said all that, don’t ask her on a date . . . ask if you can buy her a drink. Take her to Ninfa’s order several Ninfritas and I’m sure she’ll be yours.

Seems like a lot of work but I hear she is great in bed.

Swanburg, thank you for the spotting the issues with my plan. I dont think Haley is as much of a misogynst as you think. There is a charmin-like softness under that sandpaper exterior. I have my own style and have been quite successful. See you studying in the lounge.

Please replace misogynist with misanthrope.

I've never seen anyone work so hard for Grade C ass.

when you say Grade C I guess you are using the Baylor curve where a C in other law schools would be an A.

No, I use C as in its around last call and you're pretty drunk, I guess you'll do for tonight, probably gonna regret this in the morning type of C

dude, all kidding aside dont be an a-hole. I am sure she doesnt care, but it is offensive to me for you to talk about any woman like that.

 
At 8:02 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

of course i care. in the last 10 posts i have been called a bitch, a drunk, and an ugly slut. who the fuck are you people? my name is haley, and i am a real person...hi. how about you ANONYMOUS, whoever you are, get a life and stop talking about me? this isn't a fricking chat room...so keep the personal vendettas or equally offensive opinions to yourself.

and btw, just because you can hide behind the "anonymous" label doesn't give you permission to be a complete asshole. it might make you feel better about yourself because no one knows who you are, but it is equally as shitty.

haha.....fuck you buxie. i should have known.

Ok since Haley is gone after property. I will facebook ask her out. I heard that always works
