09/08/2004: "Weirdo"
There's this girl in one of my classes at school who is weird. At first I thought she was nice, but now I've amended that to be, "Nice, but just plain weird." During class, she hammers away at her laptop writing pages and pages of notes. They're not class notes, however. She writes really weird poetry (one today was about asking someone whose dog they are) and does things like type the Constitution's Preamble over and over. Or we'll be talking about trespass of personal property as it relates to spam email, and she'll be typing about some "invalid" waking up "in terror" because his toes are going numb. She also has an obsession with alphabet poetry - she'll try to come up with some poem where the subject of each sentence starts with a different letter of the alphabet.
I hope she doesn't know I'm reading her screen, but it's so distracting when she's pounding away while the professor is talking. I can't imagine how she keeps up in class; sure, it's a BORING class (my least favorite of the four I have), but come on. Peoples' work ethics have really baffled me already; we're in law school for crying out loud, I don't want to hear that you don't think you need to read for class anymore because you take notes from the lecture! Whatever, I shouldn't complain, it'll just translate to me having a higher rank later on.

Every lecture I had seemed to have a person like that but I don't know what it was about Temple's profs - they were like predators. They could sense it in a class of 180 and they would pounce and put that person on the spot. It was rather amusing to watch - and I was equally impressed that they could pick out the exact person usually sitting up about twenty-five rows back.Kristy, Wednesday, September 8th
