I consider it my obligation as an aspiring lawyer to correct people attempting to bring the system into disrepute for the wrong reasons and instead to have them focus on the right ones (generally the ones they support ;p).
I've read Cat's Cradle twice (once for pleasure, a second time for class), and once I'd grown accustomed to it, I found Vonnegut's style and humor very refreshing. I have Slaughterhouse 5 on my shelf. I'm aiming to get to it once I've made it through the YA I'm reading now, and then the Zusak (The Book Thief, which I haven't read, though I loved I Am the Messenger) and Steinbeck I have.
Holidays means not having work to do.
No work = no money
No money = no food, etc.
Also, because of holidays (or I'd call it as helldays), have to be homestuck instead of getting my time away from home, where home scuks, everything that the folks do are always right and I'm always wrong -- although that I survived doing things my way without needing to follow the strict ISO9002 or something they set at home...
