A Change of Scenery

Since I've been sick this last week, I've been studying at home so as not to die a painful death in the public library. Now, I have always referred to studying at home as the end of productivity because of the readily available distractions. But in my old age, I think I'm changing my mind. I think I disciplined enough now to study at home. The benefits are great: more comfortable, no annoying children, snacks are allowed, I can go to the bathroom without worrying about my laptop getting stolen, and we probably have less germs here than in the public library. Plus, instead of eating a quick lunch on the car ride from class to the library, I can take a quick lunch break before I delve into studying. If my husband is at home and making noise, I may have to create a contingency plan, but for now I think I'm opting for this change of scenery.

On an unrelated side note... Chemerinsky really needs to lay off the jokes. I generally like puns, but his are HORRIBLE!! Can we have Mr. Torts back?

Ok, lunch break over- time to study.

Why's it so quiet in here?

A twelve year old walked into the quiet room at the library today and said "Why's it so quiet in here?" and then giggled... while I was trying to figure out if Blackacre was springing, reverting, or just plain sitting there. If he does that around the middle of July, would I be justified to commit a battery against him? Could I defend that he assumed the risk of getting attacked when he crossed the path of a bar studier? I'll report back on my findings after our Crim Law lecture tomorrow. Oh, and I might not be back until Sunday... I have to go graduate on Saturday : )
