Once a Blogger, Always a Blogger

I used to blog all the time on Myspace(I didn't know what Facebook was, nor become addicted to it until I came to Sewanee). Facebook doesn't really offer the gratuitous blogging option that Myspace did, but I chose the FB over the MS because most of my friends were on Facebook and I got tired of checking two different social networking sites. 

Mad props to John Friend for reminding me how much I miss writing and how much I miss being able to express my opinions, even if no one really cares to hear(read) them. 

I learned a sad rule of thumb today. Keep my mouth shut and keep my head down. It's a smart rule, a very safe rule, one that I have often times ignored many, many times. 

For those of you who didn't know, it was an Honor Code violation to register before the 8:00 A.M. time slot. Yes, the window magically opened five minutes before hand and oh so awesome you got all the classes you wanted, bravo. I personally don't care that people did this, however, those in the administration just might. For those of you willing to listen to someone who has been on an Honor Council previously, and knows just how many people he's helped to kick out because of small technicalities, don't tell anyone that you registered earlier than you were supposed to register. Don't make any reference to it whatsoever for your sake and the sake of others that you may or may not implicate. Yes, I know it's not "specifically" laid out in the Honor Code that this is a violation, but that's why they put that little catch all phrase in there located somewhere towards the bottom. Additionally,  I know people don't read instructions(how silly of those who do), but it was listed on the Registration Instructions that it was a violation to do so. Furthermore, when I just had a conversation with a professor about this very topic(he said it was a violation as well), don't challenge me, just be thankful that I was kind enough to look out for your interests when others apparently were not. But no, sadly, people in law school have become so good at arguing any and all baseless claims that they can't see a gesture of comradeship for what it is, a step towards more unity in our class and less competitive backstabbing.
