Morgan: Tried like hell to find the puffy strawberries but failed–i’ve got gummie strawberries, though, just for you.

My personal favorite: “If I ever run for President, my association with you is going to haunt me.”

Winfield. See you on the fourth floor.

LCM, I can guarantee that I will personally deliver sugar coated goodness from England. If the “chocolate and peanut butter” mix is anywhere as good as the “turtle” chex mix then I would kindly request that you not introduce me as my elastic waistband pants can only stretch SOOO far and sister, I’m already maxin’ out their lycra

I will single handedly make finals a happier time for firstflooriowa.com bloggers Or at least keep your dentists employed a wee bit longer …

Emily, we’ve never met, but I like your style. I will be in the 4th floor lounge all week, cramming for my 3 exams. I hope to see you, meet you, and eat your candy. While you were away, Chex Mix came out with this fabulous “chocolate and peanut butter” mix that has been my lunch for 3 days running now - I will introduce you to that as well.

I like to leave myself little notes like “you weren’t paying attention, your notes might not be accurate,” or “on IM, missed the third point, make sure to get that.” My notes also serve as a very efficient way of documenting those precious “overheard in BLB” lines, such as when Prof Hines used the phrase “babby-daddy” or when Prof Baldus informed us that he tells his girls “never let a guy buy you dinner–you don’t need contract law to understand ‘consideration’. ”

On a wholly unrelated note, anyone who reads this comment will learn that I just bought enough Cadbury chocolate, Dark Chocolate Digestives and Haribo gummies to fill a suitcase. I will be bringing aforementioned goodness to the library and BLB at random times this week to ease the pain of finals. xx

I like to do that too, Georgia. I once came across the phrase “and boom goes the dynamite” after the summary of a rather decisive holding.

To me laughter especially important when you are studying for finals. That’s why I try to include lame jokes in my class notes when I think of them. Little tidbits to stumble across while I’m experiencing the agonizing pain of outlining. I highly recommend it. As an example, here is a line I had in my Family Law notes from a case in which a married woman was knocked up—the technical term for impregnated, as used by the Uniform Law Commission—by her paramour: “mom almost files stipulation w/ bio dad, but pulls out at the last minute (unlike him apparently—zing!)”

I still think my favorite is “My social skills are eerily similar to those of notorious homicidal maniacs.”

Because it’s true.
