I would not hate researching this goddamn legal writing assignment if:
*my legal writing prof weren't such a fucking arse
*she had CHANGED THE FUCKING JURISDICTION on the fucking HYPOTHETICAL CASE when we brought it to her attention that the library DOES NOT HAVE the relevant digests. use the annotated statutes, she says. that's just fine, except a) we haven't LEARNED how to do that yet, and b) that makes it THAT MUCH FUCKING HARDER
*the other forty or so people who have this same goddamn assignment weren't ALL trying to use the same fucking books at once
*oh yes and after three hours of research, finding at least ONE halfway relevant case would be nice
Every damn thing I've heard about how obnoxious legal writing is, confirmed. I like everything else about law school. But this nonsense is going to give me a fucking stroke.
