The Reading Room at the Library: I can count 16 people in sight but it's pin-drop quiet. And it's 11pm on a Saturday. Law school finals are upon us and we might as well just bring in our sleeping bags. The library is serving free coffee and putting out toys like slinkies and play-doh for study breaks. The doors are open (for coming in) until 1am, and no one ever gets kicked out. A bunch of overachiever boys from my pod are in a nearby study room using the white board to chart the parole evidence rule and integration. I'm making a contracts outline and the guy behind me is writing out a sheet of notes (which I assume he can teke to the final) in 6pt. font. Did I mention that it's after 11pm on a Saturday night? This is a thoroughly odd experience.
On my 25th Birthday I was named Best Oral Advocate from our moot court oral arguments two nights ago. I may get a D in contracts, but at least I can speak. :D
Anywhere that advertises with a phrase like this:
"Degrees in as fast as 1 year"
Not writing out the word one is almost forgiveable because they might be paying by the letter, but "in as fast as" is completely unacceptable.
There's also the getting a degree in a year thing, but really I'm more worried about the sentence (fragment, at that).
4. He makes money, I spend it (bwah ha ha - not really, though)
5. We both prefer to swim in a pool rather than the ocean
6. We both think paying someone to spray Raid on the spiders on the porch is a reasonable idea
7. He collects things, I throw them away
8. We both agree that money is better spent on nice dinners than movie theatre tickets and
9. We agree that less is more when the less is high-quality and nothing is better than crappy something
1. We both get carsick so we'll never have to argue about whether a road trip sounds like fun.
2. We both think staying in a nice hotel is far superior to sleeping on the ground on top of rocks and walking half a mile in the dark to use an amonia-filled out house (aka camping)
3. We'd (almost always) rather eat out than cook - no dishes and no haggling over which animals can go into a recipe.
. . . more to come, but I have to go to class.
Whoops ... meant to put this up a while ago, but forgot until now. Every couple years I actually get inspired enough to actually do something about April Fools (though, to be fair, usually it's still not anything particularly elaborate). Last time it was a quick post to the weblog, which worked on very few people.
This time around, a little bit more effort went into it, and consequently more people actually fell for it.
