A Well-Deserved Break

Hey all. So, as usual, its been a while since I've posted, so I'll have to sum up my life over the past month.

*While I'm a big fan of law school, in general, I'm not so big a fan of law school exams. Not that I failed or anything, but my Torts exam especially was the most physically and mentally exhausting thing I have ever done. I quite literally had issues supporting my weight when turning in the exam. And, for the first time in a while, this wasn't due to the sheer amount of weight. Working all the time and not eating does phenomenal things for your waistline, although very little for your general wellbeing.

*New York was solid. I got to spend a good amount of time with the family, watched a ton of Top Chef with Maddy and Cassy, played some video games with Jarrett, and just generally took it easy. However, I am kinda troubled by my family's desire to do cool things when they know I'm not going to be there. Last time I went to Chicago, they went to London. This time, they went on a cruise to Mexico. I'm beginning to think they do this to spite me.

*Chicago, despite being its usual winter self, was amazing. Tons of amazing food, a new kitty (on whom a great deal will be written and pictures posted), and best of all, time with Marie for the first time in a month. Marie's Wii was a blast, and Rayman Raving Rabbids might be the most fun of any video game I've ever played. Might have been even more fun if I wasn't entirely sober, but that's an experiment for another time. NYE was fun. Marie and I got together with a whole bunch of AEPi alums for a party in Lakeview, and much fun was had by all (except maybe Lee, who lost his phone in the cab).

Now I'm back in DC, learning about international law (or I will eventually). The best thing so far: a case cite to Moxon v. The Fanny. I hope, for Moxon's sake, he beat The Fanny.

Hopefully, I'll be better about posting with less work to do, but I can't promise.

May all your hits be crits,
B
