1) I was informed by my partner that the FRCP quiz from the prior post was not particularly funny, though she conceded that maybe it would be to a law student. I am still pretty sure if I went back and took it again, I would be laughing. Again, I’ve not had enough sleep. Guess it will have to be enough. Civ Pro final is in 3 hours! Bring it on!
2) I was informed by my best friend since high school that we need to get together drink once finals are over. She is also an insane adult returnee to the upper educational system. (I hope I am able to form such eloquent sentences later this evening.) This proves that no matter what age you are, the need to cut loose after finals is still the same.
3) I was informed by a friend/classmate that I am a smartass. I am quite sure the informers of topics #1 & 2 would agree.
4) Same friend/classmate warned of letting my mind drift in the midst of our Contracts final and creating my own hypos containing offer, acceptance and consideration based on the behavior of the women of the L Word. As a generalization, I’d say there are many implied, if not express, offers; acceptance by performance; and as consideration…well, not so sure there are many mutually negotiated exchanges of legal detriments…..therefore, no enforceable contracts. Now, were we to consider Promissory Estoppel, that might be a different matter.
OK, OK, clearly I am tired and am only amusing myself. Though I may slightly amuse at least one other 1L. If so, my work here is done.
I am off! (As, I am sure, all of the aforementioned parties would agree!)
