Hope this helps -

Easements must be in writing UNLESS:

I'm printing this out and I will let you know tomorrow.

Thanks!

Oh and fuck you Con Law. Fuck you in the ass.

I feel better now.

Discuss if sodomy between a doctrinal class and a man is a fundamental right.

On the one hand, the Court has recognized a right to sexual intimacy (Lawrence)... On the other hand, at its most narrow level of abstraction, the right to fuck a doctrinal class in the ass is not historically protected...

Allow Scalia to clarify that he has nothing against those who wish to have sex with con law, he just doesn't see it as part of our history and tradition. We shouldn't just give in to the political pressure of the "conlaw screwing" agenda

SDLKFJS:DLFKJS:DLfjk. Still don't get the rule against perpetuities in the least. I'm really slow with identifying future interests. I've done all my studying for property with a group, which seems like a time suck, but because my teacher has his own method and I didn't pay attention, it's kind of my only option. I just don't think I can learn everything in time. I tried to do a sample exam today and could hardly spot issues thing. And this estates and future interests, like, I dont' get why it isn't clicking. And my study group really bothers me. I swear, anything I wan to focus on, they want to do the opposite and then we never get to do what I want. And then they get mad at me for requesting that we do it. I know i get bitchy during finals. And nervous. And i can tell it makes them all like me less. But still.

Also, my stupid study group made a meeting with my teacher. He forgot that i had a meeting with him already. And now i have to wake up and be there by 8:30. But if i want to sit in on my groups meeting I need to wake up at like 6 to do the sample problem and figure out what questions to ask him about the rule on perpetuties. And i'm just super frustrated. And I have like, carpel tunnel really bad.

I think you're my opposite. If you can cover easements, covenants, takings, and other shit, I'll do all your present and future interests, and R.A.P.

First exam, Property, in 12.5 hours.

Goodbye, GPA. Hello unemployment.

Last time I'll ask, I suppose:
Anyone have any good attack charts for easements?

high five

check the gilbert law supp if you have it

Actually, I sort of can do that stuff (at least I fucking hope so). But, my teacher likes bullshit 'reasonableness' arguments. So, I don't know if I know it like its taught in other classes.

Brief turned in, four finals down, only civ pro left. It's easy street from here on in.

Except for the whole "I don't know what we covered in civ pro this semester" part, but other than that, it's easy street.

Dear Property,

Please take a step back and EFF YOUR OWN FACE.

Love,

[Grizz]

Had a pounding headache and was unproductive all day. Did one PT. Good news is I actually have an outline, so I'm ahead of most everyone. But now I feel like I'm squandering the advantage. Gonna wake up at 6 tomorrow.

Stayed up till 1 a.m. watching the lakers lose. I hate living on the east coats for sports-watching purposes.

I'm ten hours into a 48-hour take home con law exam. I never thought I'd hate a take home exam so much

Agreed, 100-fucking percent. Can't believe I ended up watching the 4th quarter (hoping Kobe would explode).

Was surprised Steve Blake made it out of the arena alive after that performance. Lamar missing 3 layups in a row? Seriously?

Watching the Mavs embarrass the Lakers at home and hearing the fans Boo was so worth staying up.

Think I got raped today by contracts (pretty bad when you think the MC is your favorite section), but 1L is donnnnnnnnnnnnnne, so I don't really care.

Con Law question:

If someone is advocating illegal conduct, you use the Brandenburg test. If the conduct that the person is advocating is technically illegal but shouldn't be because making it illegal is a violation of the constitution (e.g. illegal for men to have custody but women can, I advocate men having custody and am charged with advocacy of illegal conduct -- statute says it's illegal but it would probably be invalid under equal protection if the statute were challenged), the person can still be charged with and convicted of advocacy, right (because he could have gone to the "political process" to have the law overturned rather than violating it)?

[Thirteen]

The possible end of the Kobe era is heartbreaking. But at least after today I am done with Torts, my least favorite class ever.

The Lakers will get Dwight Howard in February.

I've been up since 8, and have managed to only do 45 minutes of work.

the exam is over. drink in honor of cinco de mayo!

2 out of 4 done. im much less stressed this semester during finals. i cant decide if its because im prepared (probably not) or im apathetic (most likely). either way, its nice not to be on edge.

True enough. I'm the same -- mine is definitely from apathy though. Truly not a good thing. I know it's not going to end well in the long run. I'm prepared for my exams in the sense that I've studied outlines and can give you basic ideas. I'm completely unprepared in the sense that I have no idea what I'm doing on exams. Either way, the question still stands. I'd like to know at least that much if only because I want to know if the conviction can stand even if the statute would be unconstitutional. It's not really pertinent to my particular exam. Just more of an offshoot that I was wondering about.

Trying to read my Glannon Guide. My brain keeps seeing Treeco and John, Buildco and Steve.

Also, I discovered I don't really give a shit about my grades.

Giving him pine was a dick move, imo.

This possessory estates and future interests book is pretty amazing, too bad my final has other stuff on it besides this and I have wasted the entire day only reading this book. Property final is tomorrow. FML.
