One Last Round

It's my last weekend of my last spring break--during which I, of course, got nowhere near enough done. Left unchecked on my to do list: write 4-page paper, start 10-page paper, fill out bar application, do six million loads of laundry, list a bunch of excess crap on Craig's list, and so much more. I did get our taxes done, though, and we ended up with a net refund, so that was a huge accomplishment. I guess the break wasn't entirely wasted.

Today we elect the new Board. I've gone over the applications and looked at the feedback and jotted down my thoughts about who might best fit which slots. My plan is to bribe people into agreeing with me by bringing Texas Sheet Cake. GirlChild suggested I let everyone have a small piece to start, and then withhold seconds until things go my way. Smart, isn't she? I suggested turning the whole thing into a drinking game, but I don't think that's going to happen. We're a serious crew when it comes right down to it. Pity.

Tomorrow my last quarter of law school starts. I have my Evidence outline sketched out and the first assignment done, but haven't read for Habeas yet. It's finally feeling like something I sort of know how to do some of this law school stuff, and it feels a little late to be getting the hang of it.

It's like raising kids. As soon as you figure out what's going on and how to handle it, everything changes again.
