Orientation had a nice, slow pace to it, but I knew there was a fast-pacedness stirring underneath. The kind of thing that I’m most familiar with as a turbo-charged studying for finals at the culmination of a semester of study. The primary difference between those two, though, is that this has a certain lurking element [...]

Today was the last day of orientation… there was nothing fun to do today. Lots of people finishing up their book-buying spree (my total for the semester came to… $725) and preparing for our first day of class as Real Live Law School Students™.

Today was Day 1 of IU Law orientation. So far, so good. Most of the people I met today are really cool. We’ll see what happens when we’re all subjected to assloads of stress and reading, but for now it’s all good. I’m sure I’ll have more to say at a later date, but here’s [...]

Football is right around the corner. Last year I pretty much kicked everyone’s ass in Fantasy Football, this year I’m in a league with some other 1Ls… there are actually two leagues because there are so many people, but my roster to start the season looks like this: Starting Line-up: QB: Brett Favre (GB) RB: Shaun Alexander (SEA) RB: [...]

Apparently there’s a vacancy for vice-chair. Said person wants to fill this vacancy but, in a move [...]

Short post — my eye is bothering me. I think I scratched it. Should be better tomorrow. Yesterday I just did a whole lot of work. Work work work. Then I got a call from a fellow 1L who saw my post on the 1L website and invited me out to the bars. Needing desperately to [...]

Hi. Do you remember me? Yeah, I’m back. What’s been going on? Let me tell you. Monday morning I got up and went to get the trailer. There was someone there who actually knew what he was doing and I was out of there in 20 minutes with a 50% discount on the trailer. And then I [...]

I was checking my voicemail this morning and I was disturbed blessed to get one from Pete. He wants me to tell his audience that he is fine and Bloomington feels like home. Lastly, he should have Internet by tomorrow. That is all.

The plans for a Sunday night departure to Birmingham fell through. Just like the shuttle, I’ve been delayed. I’m still going to The Ham tonight for dinner with Abby but then I’m coming back to finish up packing and going to leave tomorrow morning. But why?
