Consider this a sign

Well, the lecture with Chem-Chem got off to a pretty bad start, as the BarBri folks failed to mention to us yesterday that we were supposed to bring our in-class workbook to class, which meant that about 25% of the people there didn't have theirs and photocopies needed to be made. I was lucky enough to have mine in the car. Granted, it says on the front of the book "BRING TO EVERY CLASS" - but this thing was in the bottom of the 40 lb. box they gave us, and I hadn't gotten that far down in the box yet. So we started about 40 minutes late. After that, however, I thought Chem-Chem lived up to my expectations. Yes, there were a lot of awful jokes, but at least they were mildly entertaining. The guy clearly has done these lectures way too many times - having everything memorized down to the Roman numerals on our outlines. One kid in front of me thought he was using a teleprompter. I also feel like I got a lot out of the lecture, which will make getting up at 6:30 again tomorrow morning a whole lot easier.

Other than that, everything else has gone to shit. My car is fixed, though they charged me a small fortune to replace the battery. They mechanic also thought something was off with the steering, but didn't know what. Lots of good that did me. But at least my Saturn is running now, and hopefully can make it until next January, where I will dump it off at the side of the road and purchase a BMW like a good first year BIGLAW lawyer.

Speaking of driving, I put my new Cali license plates on my car today, only to find out that they had only given me one set of stickers. I'm assuming that's not correct, and will now debate going back to the DMV to bitch and try to get them for free, or just saying I lost them and paying $16 for a new set. I'm leaning to just shelling out the cash.

In other bad news, the cable guys also came today to try to fix my HBO and Video on Demand. Apparently the system was down when they came by, so I had to stay at home until the system was up and they could remotely send the correct signal to my box. Well, as it turns out the signal isn't reaching my box (same problem as before) and now I'll have to come home again tomorrow afternoon after class in order to sit around and wait for them to set up a new DVR box. I'm not happy. It's taking them 3 trips for what should have been done in one. I also could bitch to the cable company to try to get a reduction in the cost of service for this month (seeing as I'm losing channels), but once again I don't have the energy.

Yet another full afternoon wasted... now it's time for Con Law Drills and MBE practice questions until god knows how late tonight. Dormant Commerce Clause and PIC-4/PIC-14 here I come!
