little law school on the prairie

"Lawyers around the world are known for their sense of humour."

I'm beginning to realize there is enough fodder here at the little law school on the prairie to give the CBC's much hyped Little Mosque on the Prairie a run for its money.

Today at the LLSOTP, we got news as to the location of our April exams. These are the exams that will determine a good chunk of our law school career, we have one exam worth 100% of our mark, three exams worth 80% of our mark, and one exam worth 60% of our mark.

To provide the best forum possible for us to write our exams, the LLSOTP has informed us that we will be writing our exams in the Tractor Lab, located in the Engineering Building.

Now you have to understand this is no clever play on words. From what I understand, the Tractor Lab is exactly as it sounds, a tractor lab.

If they hadn't told us it was in the Engineering Building, I swear I would have thought we were writing our exams in one of the barns that remain on the campus.

The following description was provided to us by the Associate Dean:

We have arranged for space elsewhere on campus, where it will be just law students, with tables, and with law faculty invigilators. The main location will be the Tractor Lab in the Engineering building (no – this isn’t a joke we forgot to use in the faculty skit at Follies – it is a real location and seems suitable, the occasional tractor in the corner notwithstanding).

Folks, I couldn't make these things up if I tried.
