Yup, it’s true, it’s done! So, you can expect some quality writing from me very soon. In the meantime, here’s a very cute little “law exam” remake of David after the Dentist. If you haven’t seen David after the Dentist, watch it too; it’s pretty cute.
Here’s David after his First Exam – a very accurate portrayal of how it feels to come out of a first year law school exam:
David after this First Exam, created by University of North Carolina students, got honorable mention in the Above the Law annual Law Review video contest.
Dear Me, Don’t Go to Law School

I think this one is going to become a classic. I like it because it makes it look like I got a higher LSAT score than I really did … to be fair, I don’t think many of my classmates at University of Ottawa are insecure overachievers (if anything we’re over-confident over-achievers). But yes, my mom’s my best friend AND I drink to get to sleep at night …
Share and enjoy!

I’m still too swamped to write a proper post, and I’m feeling terribly guilty as a result. There is SO much I’d love to write about, and I had hoped to “get caught up” during my January break … but I went to Cuba instead, so here I am, back into courses full-swing, with no time to write

DISCLAIMER: There is basically one word in this video clip; it’s four letters and starts with F, and it’s represented here in all of its various forms. If you can’t handle the word f*ck, then don’t watch this. But if you can, DO! It’s completely f*ckin’ brilliant! (more…)
Where do you go to my lovely?

Law school summary writing (for exams) has put me in a bit of a strange mental state. I am fascinated by this Peter Sarstedt song, which is on the soundtrack of The Darjeeling Limited (a great Wes Anderson film …)
I thought it was a bit of a clever joke … you know, “just for fun, for a laugh a hahaha!” but it’s from 1969. Did people have my sense of humour in 1969?
Anyway, here it is. Listen to the lyrics. I’ve pasted them below. If anybody has an insight (into the song, or humour in 1969 …), please share!
You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes
are all made by Balmain
And there’s diamonds and pearls in your hair (more…)

I wanted to write a little “What Law School is Like” blurb in honour of my impending exams, but was thrilled to find this video instead (thanks Jaime for sharing!)
The coolest thing about it (besides the fact that it’s pretty accurate), is that the gal has a BA in Linguistics, JUST LIKE ME!
