On Vox: September
With the exception of listening to my workout mix at the gym, I haven't listened to anyone but Bon Iver in weeks. Justin Vernon is captivating, intensely melodic, and just the right amount emotional. I can't turn away from it; I tried listening to the new Uh Huh Her CD and the immense amounts of Tilly and the Wall that I've downloaded but I can't. I just can't.
Law school is going surprisingly well, which makes me suspicious and anxious because I feel that I'm not doing enough. I've been pretty apprehensive about writing these first few weeks because I don't want to look back and scoff at my initial opinions, but I wish that I had a detailed account of everything that had happened between August 13th and now. There have been many changes.
I'm sitting in the library reading my Torts book and briefing a case about mental insanity and liability, something that I probably would not have been able to sit down and carefully read before I got to law school. All of my study habits have changed; I can now sit for hours and struggle through everything without getting as distracted as I did at UCLA.
I'm a bit less social than I was, which is probably a good thing considering my lack of studying senior year. I watch virtually no TV, I haven't been to the movies in weeks, but I'm still not entirely in control of my irresponsible spending habits. Either way, I'm being trained and I can feel it.
But seriously, listen to some Bon Iver. You'll like it.
