I Shot the Sheriff

I planned to get a lot done this weekend, but as you might have guessed that didn't pan out. Yesterday was Alex's birthday so I went shopping with my mom to get him a present and then to get stuff for dinner. Then I made chili and that took a while. Then Alex came over and I felt guilty about not spending time with him, so I didn't really get anything done yesterday.

Then today I felt super sleepy and couldn't concentrate. I tried writing an Evidence essay and it was just brutal. We had Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and Evidence in lecture last week.

I'm excited about Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure. I got the highest grade in Crim law and I just took Criminal Procedure. So I've been rocking the crimes questions. It's the one bright spot in an otherwise gloomy week.

I also wished I had gone to my Evidence class more last semester. I had a great professor, which I waited to take so I could take it with her, and then I blew off class. Now Evidence is so fucking hard! There are so many rules to remember.

Where can I get some illegal study drugs?

Here are some funny quotes from the Criminal Law lecture. I loved this guy. The bolded ones are my favorite. I'm praying I get caught up today and tomorrow. If I get anymore behind, I'll drown.

1. It’s gonna be just like church. I’m gonna say stuff, you’re gonna say stuff. I have never come home to L.A. and not had a terrific congregation.
2. Studying for the bar exam is intensely boring. Let’s try to liven it up and you can go to sleep later.
3. Don’t love them, don’t hate them. Don’t get involved with these animals, they don’t care about you.
4. If you need to write this down again, you’re the hurtingest buckaroo in the entire county.
5. This question is based on the presumption that if you knew any math, you would have gone to med school instead of law school.
6. If you had put a gun with only 5 bullets in its chamber is not a deadly weapon, you are in trouble on the bar exam and you are in trouble in life.
7. If you had put that down as the right answer, you will never own your own home.
8. If you want to read about the crimes against nature, do it on your own time. I admit, I love to lie awake at night and conjure the bestiality questions that might be on the bar exam.
9. Look out for these animals, they’re almost always there to screw you up.
10. These books are so full of quotes that they could choke a horse.
11. Do you know what I mean by wired? I don’t mean an extra cup of coffee. I mean won’t you just speak a little more clearly into the bowtie.
12. All police cars are wired – that won’t be on the bar exam and I’m sure that won’t ever be of any use to you.
13. You forget that I can see you.
14. If you really don’t know what the Miranda warnings are, I want you to study less tonight and watch some cop show on tv
15. Two of those jurors rocked so hard they fell off their chairs
