It's been awhile
...since two weeks have passed without an update. This either means that I am very busy and important or that LJ is losing its hold over me.
Not sure what to say about what's going on in my life these days. Law school is completely crazy. Whether it's the people (consisting of approximately 2 or 3 cool ones) who talk non-stop about this activity or that study aid or this case as if they've already got their $120K per year job or the incomprehensible professor who has never even met a complete sentence or the daunting complexity of the readings that are somehow both easier than grad school and harder at the same time, I'm not quite sure. I just know that every day is an either/or in or against my favor. I wonder how people do this and do well. And if I can be one of those people.
It's also a let down that I've finally met the three preeminent feminist scholars in the law school, and none of them seem to have a thorough knowledge/investment/basic grasp of intersectionality (um, hello? Kimberle Crenshaw wrote that at least 20 years ago). Not a great feeling to have your great feminist hope say, "There's really nothing left to do in feminist legal theory, I'm really much more interested in disability and race now" as if those two things weren't feminist pursuits? Um, Kill me, as Anne would say.
Someone tell me what I'm doing here.
