More on the view
Sunday, August 30th, 2009Books and fog and rain – I don’t know how I’m going to sleep when confronted with things like this to look at. Anyway, some daytime shots during the freshmen move-in day: I fled the dorm for much of today and camped out in the library. I’m done with my reading and writing assignments through [...]
New View
Saturday, August 29th, 2009So my new room is on the south side of the building, which is really confusing because it’s an exact mirror flip and I’ve had weird vertigo for the last few hours. Anyway, I have a new view of the city. Instead of looking out over the Lincoln Center and the Upper West Side, I [...]
1L Week One
Friday, August 28th, 2009Yes, all the rumors about how busy the first year of law school is are true. It’s not really overwhelming, yet, but I’m certainly working to find the right rhythm to manage the work load. I’m also fighting the urge to overextend myself with not-strictly-academic projects. This week the school held a recruiting/info fair about [...]
Cher is certainly a creature ferae naturae
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009This morning is my first class in property law. I’m not worried. For all the philosophical musings about how we acquire property and what that means in the reading, I learned everything I need to know from Sonny Bono. Last night’s contract class was okay. Not as difficult or intimidating as the worst stories would [...]

If you can’t say something nice…
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009… go pick on Josh. But if you can say something nice, please to enjoy this YouTube karaoke video I was dared to record: I guess this is one advantage to not having roommates (according to my RA, I won’t be getting any). Nobody will complain if I come back from the gym all sweaty [...]
1 down, 82 to go
Friday, August 21st, 2009The Legal Process course that lasted throughout orientation week ended with my first law school final yesterday. It’s a pass/fail course and all the 2L and 3L students I’ve talked to said that you almost have to actively work at sucking to fail the exam. I’m going to assume that I picked up that first [...]
Orientation Hump Day Report
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009So far the first week of 1L orientation is going well, I guess. We have a week-long class in “Legal Processes” and our final exam will be tomorrow. Today is a long day, with morning and afternoon sessions of the class followed by my first weekly Stein Scholars program meeting. I’m rushing this morning to [...]
Space Ace
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009This is Owen Ace: He’s 6lbs 4oz and 18.5 inches and was born a few weeks earlier than expected. He is my third nephew, sixth among the fruits of my siblings’ wombs. My sister Jacki’s first (and threatened only) child with her husband Patrick. Please say hello to him and welcome him to the world, [...]
