bad life decision(s) / bld(s)

I've made some blds this semester. I can't name all of them for privacy reasons (and no Tad, the APALSA office is definitely not my favorite spot in the law school). Here are some that I can share and aren't necessarily bad life decisions in the long run...but for now they definitely qualify.

1) I never went back to my notes after each class. I didn't know I was such a terrible note-taker. I don't think I have all the right answers to my Corporate Tax problem sets. Woes, woes, woes.
2) I used one notebook for Corporate Tax, Japanese Law, and International Tax. They're in chronological order. But...obviously not very helpful when they're all mixed together!
3) I didn't read the IRC (BAD LIFE DECISION) but decided to rely on the casebook authors and their commentary. Maybe this was for my benefit. Reading the IRC is harder than reading the Bible (maybe).
4) I made no friends in Corporate Tax. Actually, I'm now friends with Ben Potter so...maybe I'll ask him for the right answers...

Obviously, you can tell I've been studying for Corporate Tax. Actually, I'm having a pretty good time. I wish I had known earlier that it wouldn't be so bad and tax could be fascinating. Now, I'm paying for all the bad life decisions I made during the semester. I can't shoot dumb questions to Prof. L. I must send smart, intelligent and reasonable questions. Ugh.

The lights came on in the Reading Room. This is when despair kicks in! I've been here for too long!
