The 3
December 10th, 2007 by Rick Lax
Exams are three hours long each. For me, three hours is a real long time. I generally don’t even see any movies longer than two because I know I’ll be bored.
I swear, my three-hour Business Organization final was the fastest three hours of my life. I was totally in the zone. I have no clue what I wrote and no clue if any of it made any sense, but I do remember FEELING like I was answering the questions correctly. Guess I’ll find out in about 6 weeks.
Next final: Intellectual Property. It’s a 24-hour take-home exam, and I plan to take it home on Wednesday afternoon.
(And by the way, my posts will get exciting again when school starts back up on January 14th)

Mess
December 5th, 2007 by Rick Lax
My Business Organization final is in less than 48 hours. I took 120 pages of notes (Times New Roman, 12-point, single-spaced) in that class. They’re a mess too. That’s why this blog entry sucks.

YOU be the Legislator
December 3rd, 2007 by Rick Lax
Over the weekend I went to the Hammond, Indiana Horseshoe Casino with my friend Anar. We played blackjack, and I lost $20.
(Shockingly, this photo wasn’t actually taken at the Hammond, Indiana Horseshoe Casino)
Though Anar refused to hit 16s (even against a dealer showing a ten), and though he once doubled-down on a 12 against a dealer showing a 2–he won that hand, by the way–he walked away with an extra $240. So he bought me a martini. It cost him $3.50.
Back to the casino itself. It’s on a boat…only the boat doesn’t go anywhere; it stays docked 24/7.
Now I’m sure the Indiana legislature has some crazy reason for this, but instead of doing the research myself, I figured I’d ask you. I’m not asking you to do the research for me; I’m asking you to tell me what you think the most likely explanation for this crazy docked casino boat law is. (i.e., If they let them do this, why not just let them build a casino in a building?)
