Oh my god.

Oh my god. I just failed my Torts exam.

I seriously looked at the first question (worth 50% of my grade) and thought "What the fuck IS a causal tendency?!". Since I was required to define it, distinguish it and debate its merits as applied to negligence law, let us just say that there is no possible way that I even scored one point. Lucky for me, I didn't freeze. I MADE IT UP. The whole thing. I INVENTED a definition for causal tendency (based on a second-grade analysis of the word 'causal' and the word 'tendency') and wrote a long and thoughtful essay on this invented definition. The greatest part? When I got to the end, I had to look at my introduction in order to REMEMBER what I thought causal tendency was.

As for the second 50% of my grade, well, I guess it's more of a toss-up. I'm pretty sure I must've scored a couple points maybe but nothing spectacular.

Why did I do this law school thing? I wasn't ready. I didn't study enough. The phrase 'causal tendency' wasn't even in my notes (which were shoddy at best, since, you know, I didn't pay attention in class). I am going to be forced to re-take a class I HATED, if I even stick around next semester to see how I did.

I feel nausea. I can't believe this has happened to me. I want to curl up and die. This is horrible.

dreams and stuff

So, I had this great dream!

I was getting married and everyone was there and happy and my husband was really cute and we had fun. Great dream.

Then, last night I dreamt that Alice and CZ and I were visiting Pittsburgh (unlikely, I know) and that AT's whole family was there visiting. And Rammo got a call from AlexO saying that she was in Ohio and needed to get picked up. So EVERYONE wanted to go get her. So, I was gonna ride in Alice and CZ's car and the T's were going to take my car. They left first, and before our car even left, Rammo had walked back to their house because AT had WRECKED BONNIE. I secretly think that his dad had been driving - but I told AT about the dream and he insisted that it must have been him cause his dad wouldn't have wrecked a car. Whatever. I'm pissed about it. Even though it was a dream.

But, on a more stupider note, I'm seriously not getting along with my dad. I don't know if I can actually keep living at home.

Fuck It.

Drop everything, ladies. We're going to Tahiti. I'll take care of the planning; just bring bathing suits and shampoo. But make sure they're the little bottles of shampoo that you're allowed to have on airplanes (so that you don't attack the flight attendant with an Herbal Essences commercial. Those can be dangerous at high altitudes)...

I've had enough of this, and I'm not going to take it anymore. I know at least one of you feels the same. And, no Alice, you can't bring your work.

Also Ale, I'm annoyed because, of late, people have been contending the fact that your middle name is Thelma. And, I think we'll agree, it is. So Pissed.

Tahiti. Now.
