OCI
OCI is going on. I have 20 minute appointments randomly scattered throughout the next few weeks. Surreal.

Victory!
Exams are over, celebration all around.
We're no longer 1Ls. If we passed. But that's the sort of thing we don't think about ;)

School is...
Over for some people and beginning for the 1Ls. The 3Ls had their graduation dinner thing and the 1Ls are just starting to crack their books.
I'm so far behind in every class that there may be no recovery. Perhaps we should all join together and not study for finals. Eh? Eh?
Back to Contracts.

Bigelow Moot Court
Bigelow Moot Court was an interesting experience. I think I learned something - think before you speak. But not for too long. And not too hard. And not too complex of thoughts, at least not so complex you can't say them clearly.
The professor judges were an interesting experience. Most students said good things about Stone especially. Strauss and Strahilevitz were supposed to be tough. And Samaha is said to be just brutal. Samaha would make people talk themselves in circles.
It was nice to see that the judges disagreed on points of specific performance. Two would say "That was a good idea to use those words," and then the next would say "I disagree, that wording was awful."
Will I ever do moot court again? I'm not sure. I had a good enough time, but I never want to see a brief again, and I typically don't subject myself to writing 30 pages on something that has no practical use. What would a utilitarian have to say about Moot Court? I'm sure Law & Econ folk must despise the wasted effort.

UChicago Faculty Blog
http://uchicagolaw.typepad.com/
The faculty blog is not something I read often. It's not that I don't find the topics interesting; it's that I don't have the energy. As 2L year draws ever nearer, I can't imagine how I used to have the energy to do all the things I did. Hobbies: gone. Interests: none. Favorite Books: Dukeminier on Property, Anything by Emmanuel.
Maybe life will change 2L year to something remniscient of what it once was. Maybe I'll pull out my college resume to see what I used to consider my interests.
But until then, I shall not be reading the faculty blog.
