So on Monday morning before my exam I went to the coffeehouse to study at around 7:30. My exam was at 1:30. By around 10:00, the sight of future interests and easements was beginning to make me physically ill. I had to get away. So I did what any normal person would do under the circumstances. I got a haircut. And I'm telling you, it is the perfect thing to do before an exam. (Note that it's clearly not the perfect thing to do if you often have severely traumatic experiences with haircuts. I generally have a pretty nonchalant attitude toward my hair, since it does tend to grow back and stuff). Anyway, there's something very satisfying about having someone maintain your personal hygeine for you. Especially at a point when you haven't been doing a good job of that yourself (um, did I shower today? I can't remember, because I can't tell the difference between today and last Wednesday, or Saturday, or any day really. There are no weeks, there are no weekends. There is only "exam period," which feels like an eternity). The hair is pretty short (chin length maybe?), and I think it kind of threw people off at the exam. Which was actually my master plan all along...wahaha. Kidding, but I kind of wish I really thought that way. That sort of manipulative attitude is why people succeed in law school.

Kate and I studied for Legal Profession this morning, and it was quite a scene. I took it upon myself to walk across the street to the Rite Aid to buy tabs (because tabbing rule books is essential to studying),and bought a straw hat ($4.99) that was hanging on the stand by the checkout line. It's basically a cross between Indiana Jones and Martha Stewart. Or Panama Jack, as Kate observed. Either way, it looked damn good. Especially with the new haircut. You know, I don't think I'm allowed to make fun of people at the coffeehouse for being weird ever again. I am no better than the psycho Looney Toons tanktop guy or the freak with the No Fear baseball hat and the phlegm problem.
