Find girls outside of the LS. I know that it's almost tempting, because your classmates are right there, but you'll be a better person if you compartmentalize. (Have you seen Up in the Air?)

Don't stress too much and use hornbooks throughout the year.

Inside of class: APPLY LAW TO FACTS.

Outside of class: Hang out with people more. Have fun. Live. Breathe. Enjoy.

If only Messi could turn it on for the Albiceleste the way he does for Barca, this could be a magical world cup.

Messi is easily the best football player today. I'm hoping he can bring us the Cup this year.

While we are talking Argentina soccer, why not re-live the greatest goal ever scored...

I'd recommend giving yourself one mental day a week, that strategy worked well for me.

Also, obviously, Van Winkle's comment is TCR.

Haha, a beauty no doubt. Man, I am so psyched for the Cup this summer. I've got the whole month blocked out for it. I would say my fav memory of the last Cup was that insane Maxi Rodriguez goal when he took the pass off his chest and blasted it in midair against Mexico.

Messi decided to recreate it, and may have even outdone Maradona:

That game was awesome, but Argentina's 1st game against Serbia and Montenegro was one of the best displays of football I've ever seen.

I just want to Echo Badfish.

If there is one thing that Professor's tell you that is incorrect, it's "Don't use Hornbooks."

Your life will be much less stressful if you just read a hornbook on the topic of your nights cases, and then read the cases. I don't know why I didn't do this last semester. It was silly of me.

Hornbooks - they make things make sense!

Where did you see him play? I was in Spain for a Barcelona game (which was absolutely insane, with 100K people there, though not quite as crazy as the Boca Juniors game I went to in Buenos Aires), and I also went to a USA vs. Argentina friendly at Giants Stadium 2 years ago.

I saw Michael Owen score a hat trick against Colombia a few years back at the meadowlands. That was pretty special.
