if i'm getting new eyes, they might as well throw in a new brain.

there are some things i expected about law school:

1. hours of reading inance material


2. a new hatred for parking lots


3. looking for any way to avoid school work


4. loving weekends more than i thought possible


5. napping on any horizontal surface

but, then came the few things i wasn't expecting:

1. memory loss


2. blindness

the first i can do nothing about, what i read at school has at best a 48 hour shelf life in my head. however, if you ask me about the plotline of LOST or the bachelor i could quote the entire episode for you. i am starting to think that i may have a brain tumor, because that would be a better excuse than i'm getting older. mom does keep trying to tell me i am in my "mid-twenties". i don't think she realizes that would make her older, too.

anyways, i'm going to get my eyes checked tomorrow. that's the whole point of this entire post. i haven't had an eye exam in about 7 years and i tried to fake my last one when i was a sophmore in high school--i really wanted glasses so i tried to tell him that EVERYTHING was out of focus. apparently that's not possible unless you're going blind. who knew?

for your entertainment, let's re-enact a typical day in class.

our conlaw prof put up a word document on the overhead.

me: can anyone else see that?

i-know-i'm-pretty-boy: i can.

deceptively-smart girl: me, too.

me: does it say "Congress can aggregate it's face?"

i-know-i'm-pretty-boy: no.

me: really? that's what i just wrote down.

deceptively-smart girl: it says "Congregres can regulate the waste."

i-know-i'm-pretty boy: that makes more sense, right?

me: oh, right. i guess those squiggly lines weren't all G's then.

so, by 2pm i'll have the verdict about my eyesight. but maybe i can get cute glasses out of this whole thing. or at least be able to see what my profs write on the board.
