law school

law school can be good if you keep up and are a swift reader, but it's horrible if you don't. you feel horrible like you could get a bad grade because there's a curve system and then kind of explode in tears.

the law school curve grading system makes me unhappy sometimes. when i was in high school, my good friend once told me "i hope everyone gets an A." this made me love and respect her so much, because she was so hard on herself and was valedictorian. now nobody is allowed to think like that, no matter how hard they work, not everyone can get an A in law school. it's devastating because we all came into law school with so much pride in our abilities and our acceptances into a school we love, and that sort of disintegrates with the curve system sometimes.

Murphy's Law of Gasoline Prices

"You can sit around at home till Doomsday and the prices at the pumps will stay fairly low, incessantly tempting you to travel. But the moment you decide to take off somewhere and head out on your trip, the price for a gallon of gas will go right through the roof!"

Gas-prices seemed fairly "stable" all summer, and so I delayed a road-trip for a while to "save up" or "accumulate" a number of errands so that hopefully my trip would be more cost-effective with regards to gas-consumption, but then when I stopped to fill up my tank in the morning when I was first heading out, the price had suddenly jumped over a quarter higher per gallon! Sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Gasoline Prices" to me!

Murphy's Law of Gambling

"You can patronize the slots till Doomsday or buy any number of scratch-off tickets and never gain any significant winnings, but then just as soon as you stop playing, the very next player will win big."

Many an addicted gamer believes in Murphy's Law of Gambling, even though it is indeed :"all chance" and thus seldom actually works out that way.

Murphy's Law of Snoring

"Your slumber-partner will snooze silently during periods that you're up and away from the boudoir, but then he will totally 'saw logs' whenever you're actually cohabitating with him --- and wanting to get some shut-eye --- in the same bed."

Perhaps many instances of Murphy's Law of Snoring stem from the snorer's needing more space to "spread out", which he would have whenever he has the whole bed to himself; being more cramped can restrict air-passages and so on..

Cousin Davey's Law

As an online discussion about gun control grows longer, the probability that a Republican will mention crime in Chicago approaches 1. When this occurs, the Republican has lost the argument.

Assault weapons must be banned.
They are banned in Chicago. How is that working out for you Dems. - Cousin Davey
You just lost the argument under Cousin Davey's Law.
