bleeding hearts and dove chocolate.

okay, okay. i said i would be better. i lied. as it turns out, moving to an entirely new city and starting (gasp) law school is a lot more time intensive than i hoped.

i would like to point out that i knew this; i just thought i would blog anyway. false. turns out it's hard to start a habit in the midst of deconstructed cardboard boxes and books on tort law. of course, my other habits have been doing just fine, thank you very much. deep love for dove chocolate before bed? check. obsessive recording and subsequent watching of criminal minds? oh, yes. perusing fashion/ decorating/ any magazine for inspirations for design, art, and general mind candy? all good. going to target just to marvel at their incredible ability to change their stock in a mere several days? yup.

in fact, i have watched criminal minds already today. and this new habit i am trying to form is dong well in the face of having to read about contracts and the manifestation of mutual agreement (yuck. yuck. yuck.). don't think i'll be going in to contract law.

on that note, i would like to say that i do indeed like tort law. (no, no. it's not a dessert, much to my chagrin.) it is unfortunate that my bleeding heart is being so unwillingly led to this type of law. turns out i find jurisprudence in regards to compensation fascinating. it just so happens that this type of law (you know, the lady who sued mcdonald's and won "millions" of dollars? that kind. [this, however, seems like a good juncture to point out that though the jury awarded her upwards of 3,000,000 dollars, the judge reduced this compensation to $640,000. in a threat to appeal, mcdonald's settled with her out of court. that amount is undisclosed.]) is incredibly lucrative. particularly if you are good at what you do.

well, that was fun. .
