BarBri is the bulk of the human speech I listen to everyday, and after listening to these law professors talk (and talk and talk) every day, I’ve started, ever so slightly, to talk like them.
The most eccentric speakers is the one that has rubbed off on me the most: Richard Freer from Emory Law School. His teaching style heavily employed the question-and-answer format; the questions were yes or no and the answers were often emphatically repeated.
“S Corp owns stock in C Corp. S is the record owner. After the record date, S dies. Can S’s executor vote the shares?” The answer is YES! The answer is YES!!!!!
In conversations, I’ve found myself resorting to a similar style of speaking. Am I going to get a bagel? The answer is YES! The answer is YES!!!!! It’s kinda hilarious, emphasis on “kinda.”
Other than that, no news. I work, I eat, I sleep. I’ve gotten some leisure reading in lately, though. I just read God Is Not Great. My newspaper subscription is on now for seven days a week. Many of the prophylactic measures I took against my desire to read anything but BarBri materials were unnecessary and positively harmful. I’ve done so well at avoiding becoming a savant so far, there’s no use in throwing away those gains this summer.
