I wonder if putting us through the misery of three ungraded memos this semester will have any discernible effect on our writing abilities. My money is on no effect whatsoever.

ETA have you settled on a view about what we are supposed to do or bring, memo-wise, for Monday's class? I feel like I may just conclude that we are not required to do anything.

But... But... I've been on a winning streak of doing absolutely nothing for school since Thursday afternoon, I don't want to break it!

Ughh might actually have to hit up the library tomorrow to work on this thing given how little I get done at home.

Ughhhhh. I've literally been sitting around on various surfaces in my home with my crim book in front of me for 7 hours. I have done nothing.

I did none of my memo, still haven't done any outlining, have done none of the reading for next week, and am currently making sweet potato hash

Update: I was trying to do cast iron on glass stove top and it didn't heat evenly and burnt the fuck out of it. Now starting over

Spent 7 hours in the library today outlining for K's (midterm is on Tues) and reading torts. I saw a lot of people outside enjoying a beautiful fall day and it made me a little sad inside.

I was just in your neck of the woods at a friend's wedding off Milledge Ave. Can confirm. It was a gorgeous day and evening.

Poll update idea: what's the dumbest rule in legal writing?
my nominations are:
parentheticals have to start with ING verbs
Underlining or not underlining commas/periods

Mack.Hambleton · Post by **Mack.Hambleton** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 2:24 pm

Not underlining space in between See and Id

I'll put this up next once we have more nominations. For now, a quick poll on something I'm curious about — I'll only leave it up for a bit to get an accurate glimpse of the state of things as they are right now, at the end of October

Our professor told us we'd look silly if we underlined instead of italicized.

One down, one postponed for the Grand Prix. Don't plan on doing a third.

None, and it is unpredictable when I will start because honestly I've been meaning to start for weeks now

This speaks to my very soul.

Still not a fan of the whole 2x space thing finishing sentences. I always have to go back through the entire memo to go add an extra space after each period. Thought I could just do command-f and replace ". " with ". " but that fucks your citations and Id.

I guess not all profs care that much but mine does and it annoys the shit outta me.
