Seeing how unbelievably interested I am in future interests in property right now, I thought I'd take a moment to make post number two. So as usual, I failed to heed my friends' warnings not to start watching an addictive tv show in the middle of the semester so I figured now is probably the best time ever to start watching "The Wire". Luckily another law student heard about my desire to shun my studies and he happened to have all 4 seasons on dvd and gladly offered to loan them to me. I figured, "why not. I can just watch an episode a day during breaks." Unfortunately for me, I am apparently a liar. In the past I have lied to my friends, I've lied to my family, and now I have started lying to myself. I can't just watch an episode a day during breaks. Furthermore, I have a 5-disc dvd changer that I am pretty sure has never had more than one disc in it at a time but luckily Season One has 5 shiny discs to fill all those lonely forgotten slots.
It was after watching the first 6 one-hour episodes that I realized that I am a lying asshole and I hate myself. I wasted 6 hours of my life watching what may be the best show on television and neglected to read a single page for the next day of classes. Seriously, if other people feel about me the way that I feel about my lying ass self right now I'm lucky that people still talk to me. I mean, yeah, school sucks, and yeah watching TV is obviously better than studying but did I really have to deceive myself in some conniving bid to make myself fail out of school? I mean, law school is hard but my subconscious has had to stoop to this level? I've been sitting here in class, generally ignoring my professor during what may be the hardest topic of my 1L year and I can't stop thinking about going home, picking up my remote and not doing shit for tomorrow and watching another 5-10 hours of the Wire. I think I may boycott my subconscious and try going it alone for a while to teach him a lesson. I am almost 100 pages behind in my studies and have an appellate brief for LRW due friday. But it can't hurt to watch one more episode can it.....?
