The semester is rapidly drawing to a close--yet although exams seem to be coming up fast, the days are getting longer. My ability to pay attention in class or while reading long cases is definitely waning. Oh well, I'm almost done. This summer is without a doubt the most highly-anticipated summer I've ever had. I cannot wait for a break.
One of the diseases that inflicts law students, and indeed many post-secondary students in general, at this time of year is registritis. It's when all conversations and thoughts are consumed with what classes to take, when to take them, and how you can somehow sabotage other students' alarm clocks so that they don't wake up in time to be the first to register at 6:00 AM tomorrow. Yes, that's right--registration opens 6:00 AM tomorrow online. The computer system is probably going to crash, and with my luck my Internet won't work, so I'll have last pick of all classes. I guess we'll see how it goes. If I have to take Law of Road Construction because nothing's left, I'll take it.
Wow, this blog was pretty negative. For something a little more upbeat, the band of the week is Death Cab for Cutie--definitely one of my top 5 bands. I discovered th
em a couple of years ago and am pretty much addicted to them. I have 4 of their albums, and my income tax return (or rather, part of it) is going to be dedicated to rounding off my collection with the rest of their albums and their EPs. Their music is not catchy immediately all of the time--but the more I listen to a given song, the more I love it. It's interesting music with interesting lyrics. I'm sure anyone reading this blog has heard of them, but if you haven't had a chance to check them out in detail, I would suggest checking out their album "Plans" first, then probably "Transatlanticism" (the song of the week, one of my favourite Death Cab songs, is from this album), although "Narrow Stairs" and "The Photo Album" are fabulous, too (those are the 4 that I possess currently).

I downloaded some death cab songs a while back but never really gave them a chance...maybe I'll give them a little visit and see if we can hit it off.
