Malicious Mischief?

Meet Ben, a friend and colleague at California Western. He's a calm, mild mannered law student. Rarely becomes emotional or gets upset. Heck, he was sucker-punched in the face a few months back and suffered a broken jaw. But when he woke up, he wasn't angry. With a smile on his face, all he said was, "Man, that guy did quite a number on me."

WITH. A. SMILE. ON. HIS. FACE.

Well, um, law school must have beat him a bit worse than a random mugger. Today, Ben and I were eating lunch in the Sidebar Cafe, discussing matters related to the upcoming exams. While strategies and drinking diet soda out of a styrafoam cup, he apparently gripped the cup too tightly and crushed it in his hands.

Looks like the 1L stress is getting to all of us. Even Ben.
