Asides

Here's the world in my eyes for today:

- I got a temp job, was pretty stoked at the idea of getting up at 6am and joining the working world. By the time I'd showered and was putting on makeup, the agency called to tell me that the client cancelled the job. Yes, only I can get a job and lose it within one hour.

- I'm so freaking hungry I could eat paint.

- Mother's Day is Sunday, right?

- Tomorrow I'm to attend a meeting to potentially establish a law academy in one of the local high schools, the one where Momma teaches. OK. I thought it'd be interesting and a good opportunity for the kids. And hell, if I can teach just one to not yell, "But I've got First Amendment rights!" when complaining about something not related to a State action, I think my work here on Earth is done. But a few minutes ago I got an email from Momma asking me to give "a little presentation" on what areas of Constitutional Law to teach. Ruh-roh. Ummm...I am not a teacher by trade, and I have no idea what to teach, or in what order to teach it. Momma's suggestion was to start with Hammurabi's Code and go to the present. Can I tell you what I know of Hammurabi's Code? Well, folks, I just did. Also, are we teaching law or teaching the history of law? Because these are very different animals. So now a meeting that I've been interested in attending has just become a roundtable on "How Much Christine Does Not Know About Law: Part One." I might wear stripper heels just to make me feel more powerful.
