... procrastinate from writing my memo by studying Rule 12(g) and 12(h) of the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure? Even though I still have no idea what's going on, all signs indicate I am steeped in 1L festivities. What is confounding all this is that procrastinating on a paper really brings me back to college. Every time I write a paper, I procrastinate like a champ. Somehow, magically, maybe by a paper writing fairy, it gets done. And always, ALWAYS, I am elated and vow to never EVER procrastinate again.
Yet, I do, always, find writing a paper both excruciating and exhilarating.
And yes, I am now procrastinating on finishing my memo by writing on my blog, another writing activity I have been procrastinating on for years. I also have a slight fever and drank way too much coffee so all this is probably incoherent.
Law school is as it should be: there is so much work that I can't stop and think. Because if I were to o that, I would think a lot about how little I have drawn in the past month, and how rusty I have gotten and unsure my marks are when I do get to draw. It's not all bad though. I find that the limited time makes me draw differently.
My Contracts professor wrote "MoMA" on the board and asked the class what it meant. My lovely classmate said "Museum of Modern Art" and it both made my dad and made me sad. The "correct" answer is "manifestation of mutual assent," and honestly, that's cool too. I like Contracts a lot and thinking about the dance of law and integrity. I like being a little confused and reveling at the ambiguity. I wish I can just think about the law and chew on it without the looming cold call or the elusive exam that everyone assures me will definitely happen. But if I did this for "fun" too, then I really would be the ultimate dilettante. Oh and what a bliss that would be!
