it's taken me a long time to get here, but i'm here

Carrie, I understand the point of Legal Research & Writing.

It's to attend those ridiculous "this is how you use Lexis" research classes for complete idiots. Then, after you've wasted anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes of your life (depending on how long the crackdealers spend on their pitch...and how long you actually spend listening instead of Facebooking/blogging/e-mailing/looking at porn), you get points. And those points translate into Starbucks gift cards.

Because I actually showed up to last Monday's ~~math class~~ lesson in how billing works, I got enough points to not only put me over the required points number for one Starbucks gift card, but two.

Twice the StarCrack = Half the Crankiness. Or something like that. I'm not really sure how those proportions work (I'm a law student - I don't do math). All I know is that $20 in gift cards means free coffee for...well...a week.

Labels: legal writing class is a joke, starbucks
