02/08/2006: "Caffeine hallucinations"
Song of the Day: David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
This morning, on a whim (I've been very whim-y lately), I grabbed a large coffee at Starbucks before class started. The caffeine went to my head rather quickly, and as I sat in class listening to the professor, I started noticing that his voice was echoing in a very strange way. I immediately stared at my coffee cup and thought, "Woah, that f-ed me up." Then I realized the prof was testing out a microphone that was clipped onto his shirt since some people had been complaining they couldn't hear him (amazingly, I, the deaf girl, have not had such problems). That was one of those moments when I was sheepishly glad that the rest of the classroom couldn't hear my thoughts (which, somehow, doesn't translate into me keeping such thoughts off the internet).
Today, my application to take my personal income tax pass/fail was approved. I've never taken a class pass/fail in my life. I've also never had trouble clearing a 3.0 GPA in my life either. Ah, the joys of law school and its forced curve and its "WE MUST HAVE A RANKED LIST TO GIVE TO LAW FIRMS" mentality. All I know is that I'm no longer puking over my tax homework now that I know that all I have to do is pass the damn class. There is one positive "I've never" statement here, which is "I've never failed a class before."
