Law School as Junior High

One of the running "jokes" around here (the law school) is that law school has more in common with high school than anything else. Feh. try Junior High. The latest example, which for a change actually involves me...

Against all my best efforts, one of the goofier first year students seems to have developed a crush on me. Ick. I have done everything I can to avoid this. I avoid campus like the plague, refuse to come to the 'Burg unless I have class, and have made it very clear that I do not wish to date anyone who is younger than my brother or older than my father, effectively ruling out anyone single I am likely to encounter on campus, with exception of actual lawyers here to interview better students than I. So now this goofy first year student has asked me out and, since this is not a large campus and the library is unusable (the latest drama has to do with a boiler which has gone on a rampage and will not shut off, you can fry an egg in there), there is no where to hide. Ick.

Anyway, nothing much else to report. I've been doing a bit of knitting on my latest sweater in between casebooks, kendo and aikido carry on, work is still work. I did register for classes for this morning, which went ok except that I didn't get in to the one class I was really excited about taking, but I am wait-listed, so we'll see what happens. Later today I need to go talk to career services about getting an externship, that would be good too. And might give me some contacts so I can find a real job, or at least some usable experience.

Hahaha... this actually happened to me, too, and I DO go to junior college. I can't give you any advice other than being as stealth as you can be and sign up for different classes than this lovesick puppy next semester!
