Good, and increasingly busy. That’s how things are going right now. I’m working at a law firm (my landlord’s) for extra cash, so I’ve got a research project for that and I’m filling in for one of his assistants this month as well.

I realized that I haven’t posted anything “personal” for a couple of days, deferring instead to the blogger’s favorite tool: linking to and expounding on stuff found on other sites.

School is back in full-swing, as evidenced by my lack of posting for the past week! Let not my absence suggest that things are going badly, though. On the contrary, I continue to waltz and frolic happily on Cloud 9. I wake up each morning feeling content, and I go to bed feeling at peace. [...]

ON THE AGENDA: Today is my last actual day of summer break, which is my last actual summer break ever. Wild. Tomorrow I have all-day law review orientation, followed by a pizza & bowling get-together for law review that evening. Friday entails an all-day TA orientation, but I only plan on attending the morning portion [...]
