For those of you who haven't heard of the Disney Classic, the Absent-Minded Professor, I'll give you the short version. Professor Brainard, as the title indicates, is brilliant but "absent-minded" -- he forgets things a lot including his own wedding. However, he wins in the end as he invents a wonderful substance called "flubber" that gives him (and others) the ability to jump really high or inanimate objects (his car) to fly which leads to a series of events that results in winning his fiancee back from his arch-rival.
These days, I feel much like Professor Brainard. It seems that I have become so immersed in law that I'm forgetting things left and right. Today, I left my most prized travel coffee mug in Torts class - I called a friend to check if it was still there and it wasn't. :( It's not the first occasion. Last week, I left a brand-new high dollar soda. Not only am I leaving things behind but on more than one occasion, I've grabbed the wrong book and have had to go back late at night to retrieve it for the next day's reading. It doesn't stop there, half the time I don't know what day it is or if I've fed the fish. Thankfully, S helps out in these regards and provides excellent "backup" otherwise those fish would probably be floating. My point is I'm hoping that all of this "absent-mindedness" and my immersion in my study of law will somehow miraculously metabolize into something just as tangible and magical as "flubber" - an innate understanding of how the law works, the beauty of its wisdom, its far-reaching vision and the justice it serves to all. Of course, an "A" would be magic indeed.
