Wednesdays

I hate them. They are inevitably the worst day of my week every week this term. For starters, Wednesdays are home to my two least enjoyable classes: Torts I and Introduction to Law. Torts I is a constant trial in patience and self-restraint against suicide attempts. I actually sit in class thinking of things to do that look like work, just to keep myself from playing solitaire. Solitaire would be too interesting in that class. SOLITAIRE. Kill me now. FAIL.

Introduction to Law sucks in a different way. When the class is not focusing on basic reading skills (no exaggeration) it is giving us rules and elements of law that we are expected to mentally "throw out" after leaving Intro, because these rules may or may not coincide with the rules that our ACTUAL professors give us. Did I mention that Intro has assignments that have to be turned in each week? Did I further mention that Intro is required to be passed in your first term or you are academically dismissed? Did I mention that Intro is worth ZERO CREDIT HOURS?! That's right folks, no credits, lots of homework, arbitrary legal theorems. A win-win situation. FAIL.

The upside to this particular Wednesday is two-fold. Firstly, this morning, although I was awoken, as usual, by exceptionally loud construction from the parking lot immediately outside my bedroom windows BEFORE 8 AM, the cable company came and upgraded my pimp juice. I now get both HBO AND Showtime. I have already watched Baby Mama for free. Exceptional. Furthermore, on this particular Wednesday, a local franchise of Chipotle Mexican Grille provided free food to students from my law school, including a free full entree AND free drink. All together now: WIN.

The problem with these exceptions of today is encompassed entirely in the virtue of them being 'exceptions to today.' In other words, the only things that redeemed Wednesday (today) were isolated incidences that will not repeat next Wednesday, thereby dooming me to repeat the horribleness of my Wednesdays every week for the following 12 weeks, with no rational hope for free Chipotle or expanded Cable services. FAIL.
