*Yes, I stole this from Lindsay*
Bad news: I was standing on the corner, waiting for the light to change so I could cross, and began to think about negligence; yes, law school has taken over my brain. If you are negligent (crossing against the light) and someone hits you with their car, you might get fewer damages from them in a lawsuit. So, I was considering all of this, and wondering if I would ever see jaywalking the same way, when the light changed. Lost in thought, I stepped into the crosswalk and a woman drove right over my foot. I'm fine, but I have lovely matching black stripes on my foot and my shoe. It was NO RIGHT ON RED. I think I've mentioned before how much I don't like Boston drivers?
Good news: Only about five weeks until Christmas break! Also, I got elected to the board of students that runs the competitions (like Negotiations, Mock Trial, etc.) which should be fun!
Tasks left before break:
Outlines for: Torts, Property, Contracts
Resume, Cover Letter
Apply for summer jobs
Get a tetanus shot
Christmas shopping *yeah, you're all getting Red Sox gear....
Keeping list of all of the movies/magazines/books I plan to enjoy over break
Dishes?

Actually... If you live in a contributory negligence state (like, say, VA) you might get nothing if you were in the wrong at all. (As opposed to comparative..)
Oh my gosh, stop thinking about legal concepts and pay attention when you're crossing the street, please, my dear girl! You scare me to death!!
