Parol evidence and a pity party
Posted by newlawmom on February 12, 2009
Who would have guessed that I would fall in love with the parol evidence rule in contracts? It seems like some of the other material in contracts should be easier and parol evidence should be more difficult. But no. In my world the parol evidence rule makes perfect sense and the rest of it eludes me. What I would like to do is figure out what it is about this subject that appeals to me. In general, law school is awesome and I am happy there. However, I continue to struggle this week in other ways.
I am not happy. I am unhappy, depressed, unmotivated, and overwhelmed. I am disgusted with the actions of the government, disgusted with the weather, and disgusted with my own inability to manage my time. I am sick of winter and tired of never having enough time to be totally “done” with those things I need to do. I have had a bad mommy week, culminating tonight when sonny boy reminded me that he needs Valentines cards for tomorrow. (No honey, mommy didn’t forget. – Oh yes I did – that’s why we were running out to the store at 7:30 to buy them) I want summer. I want sunshine. I want a job and I want a vacation. And I want it all now. Seriously – I want to lay on the couch for two days in my pajamas, watch game shows, eat takeout, and sleep. That would make me most happy. Instead, I am going to shut up now and go do that reading if it kills me. Please God, let me get out of this funk asap. I hate feeling like this.
