I don't know when the last time something happened that had such an effect on me. Almost a full week after it happened, whenever I read about President-elect Obama (I am never going to get tired of that phrase-- until I can replace it with President Obama), I still want to grin from ear to ear (and usually do) and feel a muted version of all I ( Read more... )

Law school seems to consist of experiences that either hack at your ego with an axe in one hand and a machete in the other or of experiences that delicately slice at it with a scalpel. Either way, the effect is about the same. My two classes today convinced me that, not only am I an idiot but I'm destined to fail miserably-- the more so because ( Read more... )

I'm going to stop talking about this election one day. Really. Seriously. Just not today. Or you know, any time soon. (I have to rewire my brain first ( Read more... )

Obama, McCain and 'The West Wing'
Or why Everything I need to Know, I Learned from 'The West Wing.' ;-) (Which reminds me, Yo-yo Ma rules!)

I'm beginning to feel like the world is going to end on Tuesday. Really. No matter what happens (if McCain wins, I'm moving to England. Or somewhere else not here. Possibly off the planet, if possible.) whatever will I think about and distract myself with? I won't have to check electoral-vote.com every day. The horror ( Read more... )

It feels like winter (almost). They're predicting snow showers tonight and into tomorrow morning. Snow. In October. Tell me again why I decided it was a good idea to move here? (Or better yet, somebody tell me what kind of idiot Ezra Cornell was to build a school in this godforsaken place ( Read more... )

So fall break's officially over, as of today. Best indication to tell me that it really is back to the grind- I'm completely confused again. In Property and Contracts, the only difference being that I like Property even when I don't understand it and I dislike Contracts whether I understand it or not (usually, not ( Read more... )
