Just Checking In

10:20 pm, and Im home, watching Hellboy. Decent movie so far. Crazy plot, but enjoyable to anyone with an imagination. Anyways, two weeks now, and Im doing fine. School starts soon, so that's my world right now. Nice little class schedule I got going. Law & Economics, Mergers & Acquistions, Business Planning (see a trend?) Criminal Procedure (required, ish) and my favorite, Civil Rights Seminar. We are going to talk about reparations, and whether or not integration is actually a preferrable situation to segregation. Should be fascinating. My professor is brilliant. Studied at Yale Law with the Clintons and Clarence Thomas. He's written quite a few books, excellent ones. Anyways, Im excited to finish up. Last year, and I can't wait to get the hell out of here. This place has been nothing but bad fortune for me.

Real quick, something has been bothering me for quite some time. People insist, learned people, on using what seem to me to be the improper past tense. Instead of "struck", they say "striked." Instead of "hung", they say "hanged." Instead of "dove", they say "dived." It really has me vexed. I can't see any reason for this, and this language appears in magazines and such. Someone tell me I'm wrong. I mean, am I way off here?
