How the WGA Screwed Me for Finals December 15th, 2007
When I decided to attend law school, I was told by many that it would be hard work. While the work is challenging, it is not unbearable. After four years of college I have managed to curb my inability to avoid distractions, and that has helped enormously. One of those distractions has always been television. What can I say? I love television. Now more than ever there are a ton of great shows on the air. I had established a routine where the next morning while exercising I would watch whatever shows were on the night before, enjoy them and that would be that. However, the WGA strike changed all of that.
A few weeks after the writer’s went on strike, shows began to drop off the air. One of the first to go was NBC’s The Office. That show is amazing, and has been getting better and better this season. However, as The Office and other shows I watch began to go into re-runs, I was forced to go elsewhere for my entertainment. My friends soon discovered that CBS’s Kid Nation was available free on demand from Comcast. Oh. My. God. We all quickly became obsessed. Instead of other shows where I would watch weekly and that was the end of it, I found myself watching episodes of Kid Nation multiple times in one week. I was reading College Humor articles about the show. I was joining Facebook groups and playing drinking games. Instead of refining my outlines or quizzing myself, I was lost in wondering who would get that week’s gold star, worth it’s weight in gold……literally.
Luckily, this week was the lack luster season finale of the show. I’ve already taken two finals, and I am sure the grades will reflect my obsession. Two bad grades will then keep me from getting a good job. And it is all because of the WGA.
