I have quite suddenly become the owner of an almost offensive number of lightbulbs. It all just happened so quickly; I had little time to consider the results of my actions and now I have a big Trader Joe's bag filled with 26 new bulbs. 26. Let's keep in mind that I have a studio apartment.
I was searching on Craigslist for a desk, preferably one that was for sale in my building (summer made me lazy). No luck with the desk but I DID find a posting for a big bag of lightbulbs in my building for only $5. I wouldn't even have to put on shoes. Ok, maybe that's an exageration. I did put on shoes. But if it was the winter, I would have had to put on a coat... and I did not need to do that! So there was definitely a feeling of accomplishment, perhaps akin to that a lion might feel if it snared its prey close to home without having to travel miles and miles through the grassland (and where the prey is more like dessert prey, as it wasn't reaaally necessary for survival but just a lucky break for the lion. Who finds 26 lightbulbs for $5 nowadays???).
So now I have a lot of lightbulbs. I feel like a quantifying screw-in joke's supply store.
Summer break did not affect my brain to such a degree that I believe this post constitutes anything remotely legal. But maybe it's a metaphor of sorts. Welcome to 2L year - I am supposed to have accumulated much wisdom and knowledge from my hard work as a 1L... but chances are I will rarely, if ever, open that bag now sitting in my closet. I hope I have a use for the bulbs... but if not, at least I now know I have them.
Welcome back to law school.
