The Family

I know what you mean Karyn - I'll stay up just watching movie trailers. I mean... trailers! Don't get me wrong, I love trailers, but are they really worth being exhausted all day long? It's one thing if I stay up late playing with Amber, goofing off or watching a movie. I'm ok with that - but most of the time I just stay up late because I don't want to go to bed alone.

On the bright side, though, it's has been a blast making new friends - I've been hanging out with the law students here at UVa, which is some of the reason I'm up late - because they are definitely up late. Every day. They also do really funny things! I just went to "Libel Show" last night which is basically UVa Law's equivalent of Spring Sing, except with not as much practice, and it's more of a skit/funny song type show with just some dancing. Oh yeah, and you wouldn't see s#!t like this at HU. Here's a skit from last year:

Good stuff :)

They haven't put up videos yet of this year, but here are the words to one of my favorite acts from last night. It's sung to Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah" and it's talking about prof's at UVa Law.

"What You Gave to Me"

Hey Thomas Nachbar,
1L fall you were my favorite
Legal know-how was your offer,
And worship - my consideration
What a deal.
With expectations I could feel,
Our bond was real.

Hey Forde-Mazrui,
You had me at "Commerce Power."
Con Law's awesome and amazing.
I listened hour after hour
What a school!
The Darby bootstrap' pretty cool.
I was a fool.

Oh it's what you gave to me,
Oh it's what you gave to me,
Oh it's what you gave to me,
Oh the grade you gave to me,
The grade you gave to me.
Hey Mildred Robinson,
Class was a breeze to follow,
You were smiling, kind and generous,
But with exams I had to swallow
A bitter pill,
What the hell's a pour-over will,
It haunts me still.

Hey Rachel Harmon,
You let me in the Crim law party.
Now that I know I shouldn't drive with pot,
Thought I was such a smartie,
Can't you see?
I guess your favorite wasn't me.
You're dead to me.

Oh it's what you gave to me,
Oh it's what you gave to me,
Oh it's what you gave to me,
Oh the grade you gave to me,
Sometimes a prof seems really great,
Someone you'd like to emulate,
And law school really doesn't seem so bad.
But after waiting months for grades,
Somehow the dedication fades and then,
The C-plus really makes you mad.
Some things are just not what they seem
At UVa you live your dream,
But sometimes dreams can
Bite you in the ass,
From the front of class...

Hey 3L player,
1L year you said you loved me,
For a few months things were really great,
But 2L year you snubbed me,
Felt like crap,
I found out you gave me the clap,
I thought a C was bad at first,
Turns out Chlamydia is worse,
My life is cursed.

Oh it's what you gave to me
Oh I got an STD
Oh it's what you gave to me
Oh it's what you gave to me
It's what you gave to me.
