Intruiging

Bush and Blair have brilliantly done Bin Laden's work for him.

An intriguing article. My mom would love it, but Victor D. would hate it.

Good News

Good news: my new law school philosophy and the sun and warmth today are wonderful things. I'm actually decently happy for the first time in a while. I've got a crapload to do, but whatever, that's life. Also, as of today, I begin working out again. Soon, spring break!

My Law School Manifesto

My law school philosophy and what it involves: It involves abandoning the idea that my self-worth is dependent on how well I do in law school. It involves believing in myself, and being assured that no matter what, no matter what my grades, I will find a job and have a decent career in something, and that a JD will help that. It involves understanding that a negative outlook on law school only hinders me and my ability to work. If I dread classes and work, then I will never start to understand. It involves accepting the positives of law school: the prestige it offers, the self discipline it teaches, the toughness it imbues, and the knowledge (however arcane) it gives. It involves developing a tough enough skin and a strong enough psyche to accept that less than perfect grades in law school are good, and that even getting into law school is an accomplishment in itself. It involves reassuring myself that there is more to myself than just my academic ability, and that true growth doesn't really happen when something is easy.

Bach

Recently, all I've been listening to while studying, or anything else for that matter, are the organ works of Bach. I don't know what's up with me. Maybe it's just the way Bach so perfectly puts the fear of God in me through his music, a feeling which is eerily appropriate while reading cases. I dunno. Maybe it's just also calming to me, in a way, without putting me to sleep, making it good for studying too.

Barrister's Ball

The Barrister's Ball (aka Law School Prom) was a blast last night. I definitely got my groove on. Here's the link to the pics.
