Lame

So I'm at school now. That's right. No electricity at home, nobody has gasoline, but we're supposed to be back at school. Lame.

OUR FIRST HURRICANE

Not bad. Rather not do it again.

Not Doing Well

Jeff has missed his first day of law school. He's feeling even worse today than he was yesterday. Hopefully today will be all he will have to miss. Actually, even if he is sick tomorrow his classes could be canceled because of the storm. Still, I'd rather he was feeling better.

So I guess it will be up to me to help get ready for storm. I don't think he'll be up to it.

No Home

So, according to the law for determining state citizenship, I am not a citizen of any state. That's kind of depressing. On the other hand, that means I can never be sued in Federal Court.
I woke up this morning, well, during the night, with a massive headache. This morning, it was no better. It was the kind where opening your eyes hurts. It's part of the cold that developed yesterday while I drove home from school. Yes, I can remember the exact moment when my throat started hurting. Anyway, I was worried that I would miss my practice test in Torts today. I took a quick nap, and woke up with the headache gone. So I hurried to school, spent 45 minutes looking for parking, and got into class 30 seconds before the professor did.
But now my headache is coming back.

BOOK CLUB

I'm trying to start the Hemming Book Club again. So please check the blog at http://hemmingstory.blogspot.com/. It's invitation only so if I never got you one or if you never accepted let me know and give me your e-mail address so I can send you a new invite. I know it hasn't worked out before, but third times the charm right?

I'm Going to Post... For Reals....

Jeff here. I've decided to do some posting for reals.

First, I'm in law school. I'm a 1L for those who enjoy using abreviations. For normal people, that just means I'm in my first year. I have a really great professor for Civil Procedure. To hear him speak, think 80% George Costanza from Seinfeld, and 15% Christopher Walken. With the 5% left over, lower that voice one octave. So the way classes work, is that we prepare 2 or 3 cases a day. The professor will call on a student, and interrogate them about one of the cases for about half an hour. Guess whose turn came on friday. If you guessed me, you're right. Here's more or less how it went.

Professor- Mr. Hemming.
Me- (Thinking) Man, I'm glad I'm not that guy.
(Then noticing him looking at me) Yes.
Professor- What is this case about?
Me- Jury instruction.
Professor- Yes. What did the judge tell the jury to do?
Me- Answer several questions about the facts.
Professor- Correct, Mr. Hemming. Who wants the judge to do this, the defendant or the plaintiff?
Me- Uhh.... the defendant?
Professor- Yes, Mr. Hemming. Why does the defendant want this?
Me- Ummm.... because there's less chance the plaintiff will win?
Professor- NO, MISTER HEMMING! Can someone help Mr. Hemming out?
Me- (thinking) Ah, crud.
Professor- Mr. Hemming, was it alright for the judge to withdraw his question?
Me- Yes.
Professor- Why?
Me- (staring at the professor)
Professor- (staring at me)
Me- (staring at the professor)
Professor- Does anyone want to help Mr. Hemming?

And it basically went on like that. For half an hour. Law school is awesome!
