So today in Torts we were focusing on Economic Loss. Basically if you die, they use statistics to figure out how much you were worth to a spouse, or your family. Some people are not assets but liabilities. I was trying to apply this to my life.
I rose my hand and said, "does that mean that a lawyer would argue the value of a 1L at Harvard, in the top of the class is worth alot more money than someone in the bottom of the class here at University of Idaho?" Then I said, 'no offense'. Basically I was saying that lives are of more value if we do better, can make more money, go to a higher ranked school, or simply perform better on tests.
I am sort of bitch. I want to claim it was unintentional or said for humor purposes. But i think i am a product of this stressful situation, and am buying into the lie. Anyways, I guess I need to not just get smarter...but gain some tact and some filter too. Shoot there is always so much growing of character to be done.
PS when i asked two of the people in the class if they thought it came across "bitchy" they said, "Yeah, a little". I do appreciate the honesty. Their responses affirmed what I already knew. I gotta keep my mouth shut. I guess if interesting things were happening I wouldn't have to over analyze a comment made for whatever reason. And I know there are thousands of inappropriate phrases I have uttered that kept ringing in my head after they were said, which quickly were replaced by other inappropriate phrases I said. Point is I still say things I probably shouldn't...just in case you were curious.

I don't think your bitchy. I think you should just say whatever the hell you want.
Jokes man jokes, that advice will get you in trouble.
I hope you can find a balance and something dramatic happens to you soon.
hey. this is sumo.
I havent seen your blog in quite a while (other than my censorship duties)
I have one request... edit the blog skinny pic header!
two options:
1) just remove my name and call it a day
2) replace my name with luke, van, mitch, or larry.
PS
this blog is PG-13 for sure... watch the language.

No. But maybe yes. Or not.
i think i would have made that comment and thought is was an observant comment rather than nasty.
