Yea!!! I'm done!!! I am school-free for 6.5 weeks! Yippeee!

(e:mrmike,50589) reminded me of another failblog xmas lights photo that I think is hysterical and not at all a fail. Why is it a fail? I judge the xmas lights contest in Bloss ( appropriate for an atheist anti-xmas curmudgeon, don't ya think?) and if this was an entry it would totally win a prize. And it's much funnier than the santa peeing off the roof.




Happy birthday, (e:hodown)!

At or before 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, I will be halfway done with my J.D. Unfortunately, I used up all my powers of concentration last week and can't focus for more than 10 minutes, so studying for tomorrow's fed tax final has been a real struggle. I've only left the house for hot chocolates at Taza.

My fat lazy China Cat Sunflower isn't very helpful although she doesn't interfere, either.

Allen & Elmwood around 2:15 p.m. today

It's my fifth day of isolation. I ventured out for hot chocolate on Saturday and Monday. I need milk, sugar, cranberry juice and ginger ale but I've got too much studying to do to leave, instead, I'm writing here!

First final is tomorrow morning- Corporations (e:heidi,49944). I hate the Wall Street Journal. Here's a study limerick:

Walkovszky v. Carlton

Walkovszky was hit by a cab
Would Carlton pick up the tab?
No, limited liability
Has social utility;
Undercapitalization is fab!
- Jeremy Telman

Second final is Friday afternoon - taxation of nonprofit organizations - where I'll get to discuss the fine points of 501(c)(3) qualification and the Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT).

Sunday is the estrip potluck!! (see how bad I need it?)

Last final is next Thursday - federal individual income taxation. I'm looking forward to it because it's multiple choice, the test will be considerably easier than it could be, and the prof (whose name happens to be Heidi!) doesn't like gray areas so the exam is very clearly black & white.

And then I'm done! Halfway through my JD. Yea!

In other news, the Save Our School coalition packed the Mansfield High School auditorium (at least 450 people) Monday night to express its hope that the Southern Tioga School Board will renovate North Penn instead of closing it (e:heidi,50116) Newspaper article The crowd sang the North Penn alma mater, did crowd cheers, the girls volleyball & basketball teams read off one fact about the potential impact closing... Jill said it was a very moving experience.
