Good Intentions

So I’m reading my Contracts book, specifically some notes after Monarco v. Lo Greco, and one of the notes says, Re-read Richards v. Richards, p. ___ above.

What is this, a Choose Your Own Adventure novel? Am I supposed to pick my own page and hopefully it isn’t the one where I fall to a gruesome death at the hands of the Restatement (Second)? Who the hell edited this book, and why weren’t they fired?

Textbook cartels take note, you need to hire better editors if you want to keep gouging us for rearranging the same book over and over and changing the edition each time. Apparently you hadn’t finished rearranging before you wrote this section. Jerks.

Prof. Contracts said this today:

“You’re at home after finals, drinking beer, and you think, Hey, I used the UCC for the question about painting a house, and every single thing I said was irrelevant! And then you start drinking heavier, possibly moving to liquor…”

And this was from yesterday:

Prof: “What if I offer to sell my Saturn to Matthew McConaughey? And then later when I’m in the shower I say, I want to revoke my offer! Is it a valid revocation?”
Student: “Only if he’s in the shower with you.”
Prof: “Right! We both work out at the same gym and he was in the showers as well!”

…Is the deepest. Yes, Sherryl Crow sang the song. No, she was not the first. Surprising, I know.

Anyway. Today was Contracts and Torts. Let’s begin.

Prof Contracts is a new guy, and I do believe I like him. He does the Socractic method somewhat, but he’s not an asshole about it; he himself said that he’s not out to prove he knows more than we do about Contracts, because he does, in fact. Hopefully, as he said. He’s also allowing us to bring in pretty much anything on the exam, so that’s nice too.

Prof Torts reminds me of my roommate’s dad plus fifteen years. Somewhat softspoken, but he has a sense of humor. Also uses the Socratic method.  Should be a fairly good class too.

Wednesday is Civ Pro. That will be interesting. Tomorrow is the same schedule as today. I’ll be sure to report back after Wednesday.
