Because it's a law school, not a lawyer school

What joy! I'm actually interested in some of my readings!

Started a new course, Legislation, yesterday. I think I'm going to like it. I know the guys I was sitting near won't like it, because they groaned at almost everything the prof said. They groaned especially loudly when she said that since we are studying legislative drafting which deals with precise language and meaning, she will be very strict when it comes to our own language and meaning. Spelling or grammar mistakes in our papers will be harshly punished.

Fellas... get over yourselves. You (presumably) graduated from high school and got at least one university degree in order to get in here. Surely somewhere in there you must have been taught how to write, use a spellchecker, and get help with your grammar.

Besides which... you're in LAW SCHOOL. LEARN TO WRITE. Judges are not amused by "Our client is a real nice guy who didnt' mean to kill the lady so he, says sorry. And this case is a lot liek th ecase at of (1997), 3OR, 3d, 73."

Anyway. Looks like it'll be a fun class. And our first reading had to do with the progress of the Midwifery Act through Manitoba legislature! Cool!

I know. I'm a geek.

And so it goes

I love when the kids are snoring five minutes after I finish their bedtime story. Makes me feel like something's gone right in their world for them to drift off so quickly.

Chris is on call again tonight, so here I am on my own. This usually means I'm up until about 3am, but tonight I took my meds on time so I should be able to go to sleep relatively early.

Pretty good day, overall. Scrambled around to get everybody to their respective places so I could get to my Property exam review... only to find it was cancelled. Probably my prof's kid was just born. He warned us that he would be carrying around a cell phone and might drop our class at any moment in order to "drive to the Queensway Carleton Hospital to practice my breathing".

So I ended up doing my Legislation readings, put up the new thursday100plus challenge, then went to spend time with my mom. Then registered Justin into JK for next year (my baby! Going to JK!), picked both boys up, went back to my mom's with them for a few hours. Came back home, made dinner, got laundry, dishes, and bread started, helped Daniel with his J'Aime Lire homework, then put boys away. Overall, a pretty productive day.

So now that the kids are asleep, I'm indulging in what I've discovered to be a rather bizarre hobby of mine: running my own little printing press.
