last year i didn't really speak to anyone until april [the law was bringing me down] and so i wasn't tapped into the social web of the law school. also, i had a long distance boyfriend so i wasn't spending my time being a floozy [i regret this]. so lets fast forward a year shall we? ill get you up to speed ...
for some reason the law school is a breeding ground for overly hormonal YPs. these festering hormones, combined with the early onsets of alcoholism have created a monster. the sexed up, boozed up, law student. this week person A is sleeping with [seeing/dating/hanging out with exclusively, what have you] person B, only a week after person A cheated on person C with person B. you can make whatever assumptions you want to about this scenario - but it is not a contained, one time only equation. this A-B-C is like the chicken pox plague in the law school.
you remember in grade school when bobby would date lucy for a week [and by date i mean wave to one another on the blacktop], but then break up with lucy because she brought a ham sandwich to school [bobby is jewish]. and then bobby would immediately start dating cindy [who is brought up in a family of vegans]? it is almost as if law school reverts every single one of us back to our fourth grade mentality - we have to pair up, play musical chairs, then switch partners.
unfortunately i had never had this grade school experience. being a late bloomer and not having a *real* boyfriend until i was ... 18?, the grade school relationships were something i only aspired to have - when i was 8. i remember one day when tim mcqueen told me that jeff caswell thought i was cute, i was so excited! finally, i thought, i will fit in with everyone! ill have a boy to wave at on the playground. needless to say i was devastated an hour later at recess when i found out jeff had also told alex forani, tamara smith, and jacqui hayworth that they were cute too. and i swear not five minutes after that - tamara and jeff became boyfriend and girlfriend.
so whats with law school? why do we have the mindset of 8 year olds, the hormones of 16 year olds, and the alcohol tolerance of a pirate? now that i lay it out like that - so systematic of me - its almost an appealing combination. i should probably just go by my new slut dress now at american apparel and sit in the law school commons with a bottle of whiskey - just waiting for the ceiling to fall on me.
