to offer my upstairs neighbor some of those BreatheRight strips? I mean, I don't know how his wife is able to sleep. Maybe she wears earplugs? Because if I can hear it through the CEILING, I cannot imagine how that must be in person.
Now that I'm done ranting, I should actually tell you (the 4 of you who read this) some exciting new news. Unfortunately, we've arrived at the point in the semester that I was warned about; after Halloween, you realize how close finals are and begin a downward spiral into the abyss of outlining, outlining, stressing, writing a resume (!!), looking for a summer job (are these people insane??), outlining, getting that dang tetanus shot the school has been bugging me about, and basically just having nothing interesting to talk about with anyone who isn't also ensconced in the "world of torts."
I guess, interesting note of the week: in most states, you don't have a legal duty to come to the aid of a stranger who is in trouble (with some exceptions). So, legally, if someone were drowning, depending on the circumstances, it might be legal for you to just walk on by. This raises a lot of political and philosophical questions, but what do you think? Should there be a Good Samaritan law? Or is personal autonomy and limitation on the power of the state more important?
Now that I've fulfilled my duty of due care to my blog, I should go to bed. If only the snoring would stop...

I think Miss Manners might say that, yes, Breathe Right strips could be considered rude. Maybe you can pretend it is the gentle sound of a foghorn on the bay. Just keep telling yourself -- only five weeks until Christmas break, only five weeks until Christmas break. And try to enjoy. Love, your mom
