Spring Breakdowns

Ok, so I am about to flip out if I don't get a vacation soon.  I am tired of my house, of my bed, of this town, of this weather.  I could really use some beach time if we're getting specific.  Or maybe just some time out of town, anywhere.  Anywhere I say!!

Then I discovered that my spring break is coming up.  Usually spring break is about as interesting to me as the final episode of The Bachelor, that is it goes uncelebrated and mostly unnoticed except for everyone talking about it.  Once I posted on my facebook that I was looking forward to summer break and a friend commented that she wished she had summer break and I had to remind her that when you work and go to school my summer break was her regular schedule [icy glare.]

But this spring break is different, I'm not working so I could really go somewhere.  Now I just need to find a rich benefactor to pay for it.  [Cue Debbie Downer "Wa-waaaaah" noise.]

There once was a future attorney
Who imagined a relaxing journey;
Twas a lovely vacation 
To a beachy destination.
As they carried her off in a gurney.

Paul

This one is for my friend Paul, from Con Law class.  I literally just whipped this one up in 20 minutes as we discussed Planned Parenthood v. Casey.  Paul, now you have to read my blog more often.  Who knows when I'll talk about you again.

There once was a student named Paul
Who'd rather be with his kids at the mall.
He spoke in conjectures
'Cause he ignored the lectures.
But he'll graduate soon, after all.

Evince-dentaly

Today's word is evince which is a verb meaning to show in a clear manner; to manifest; to make evident; to bring to light.

Hmmm...It seems as though this word has the same thing as evidence. For example, she evidenced her confusion by writing a short blog entry.  Well, I guess shorter is better (five foot two in the hoooouuusee!)

So here goes:

Her shortcomings were evinced
Pulling books in the library of the law school
It has been quite a while since
She had to pull out the rolling step stool.

Just-iculate This!

The word of the day is gesticulate (transitive verb): To make gestures or motions, especially while speaking or instead of speaking.

This word prompts one specific gesticulation, how I generally feel about starting the semester again but luckily that doesn't translate to print.  Also the general feeling about a program head who assigned me a undue and not-so-great grade last semester.  I think you know who you are...  But the joke is on you, I don't care anymore.

Except I do.  So agitating!

Another gesticulation that come to mind, did you know a backwards peace sign is the same as telling someone to go eff themselves in England?  Well now you do.  Don't say you never learned anything from this blog.

Using fists, palms and fingers for communication
I need hand lotion
To smoothly show my emotion
When I choose to use gesticulation.

Soul Depleting Meeting Producing Lawyers Like Cattle Breeding

Word of the day today is enjoin (verb): to direct or impose with authority, to order.  Also to forbid.

Again with the temptation to give words a legal meaning, as in an enjoinder motion which is basically a legal directive to do or not to do something.  But how annoying is that guy (gal) who hijacks every conversation or term in the name of legalities?  So annoying!  So instead I am going to make it about law school.  Totally different, right?

Enjoined to spend every free moment reading
Slaving over drafts of a terribly boring pleading
With dreams of one day participating in a real legal proceeding
But destined for a future of getting friends off for speeding.
