First Assignment

Just finished my first law school assignment. Wow was it exciting. Marbury v. Madison, the case in which the Supreme Court established that yes, it can review cases in which a federal law may be in violation or some act may be unconstitutional. It has the power to review Executive and Legislative actions for their Constitutionality. At least I think that's what it established. It's crazy, excititing. You wouldn't believe it. 10 pages of dense, dense text. Pages filled with reasoning that is so simple it becomes mind numbing, and kind of complicated. The one thing I've taken away from my case reading (not the one thing really but rather the one "life-lesson for people who don't give a shit about law school and having to take ONE huge cumulative final) is that the law is SIMPLE. It's not complex in it's very nature but is complex in it's syntax and it's language. I really think, that the one class that would've greatly helped me in this venture would be an upper level Linguistics class or perhaps a Philosophy class in Logic. Hell upper level French would've helped more than Genetic Models. Regardless, law text is incredibly intimidating, dense, and wordy. It is analytical, not abstract. It's more like Biochem than it is like Organic Chem, which I'm grateful for. As for real life, tommorrow the parents come into town for a day or so, Sunday is my fantasy football draft and Monday is the start of class, real class. As opposed to fake class. God, I need a fucking life.
