Today, my criminal law professor yelled "hey, ms. *lastname*" to me down the stairs, problem, at first I thought I was hallucinating a voice from the sky. I thought to myself, there it is, the final snap in your synapses, b/c he has a loud booming voice and sounds like James Earl Jones. I was really relieved that it was my professor and not God or something. Earlier that day in his class, I was thinking about sex and I suppose I had a naughty grin on my face, b/c I got called upon to discuss the difference between larceny under the common law and "theft by taking" under the Model Penal Code. Penal hur hur. All students fear the "How would you distinguish these" questions, and it landed smack on my naughty little head.
since I was not paying an iota of attention, I looked at the board, looked at my book, and then looked at the law's little godsend "the definitions section" and nailed it. I was rather proud, considering what I was really thinking about. Thought balloons would be interesting, if they existed.
