Good Life

Law school is challenging, and sometimes downright frustrating, but still, I persist in enjoying it. Prof. Apol, my Crim Law prof, has got to be my favorite (he's everybody's favorite, I think). I never knew that crime could be so funny. Most days he has us spend our time chanting definitions to crimes like rape or burglary, mostly to annoy the other classes. Fun times.

Suprisingly, a new love has entered my life - a certain Annika from Hamburg. She's getting her masters in P.R., and she's a great girl. I didn't think law school would be this cool. Yea, the amount of work is ridiculous, yet everything else is fantastic.

That's the basic news for now. Till next time.

Law School

Well, I like law school! I like it a lot, actually. I like my dorm (the international student and grad student dorm), I like my fellow section-mates, I like what I'm studying, and I like the challenge. Of course, I'll probably be begging for mercy in a few weeks, but for now, I'm enjoying it. Oh, and thank God I'm outta Hillsdale!

Last Day

Yesterday was my last day of work at Bun's. Initially, it was to just be a three hour lunch shift, but then they needed me to stay through till dinner, to which I gladly obliged. Then, Vasili asked me to stay for dinner too. I consented, figuring it was my last day anyways. Right in the middle of an 8-top and a 2-top, though, the power went out. Apparently there was some huge accident on 23 which took out a transformer, so the whole town was dark. It was interesting trying to serve people in the dark, I must admit. We carried on though, and about 2 hours later, the power came on, and we were all able to finally cash out in the computers and get home. It was a long final day, to say the least. It's crazy how dependent we are on our electronics.

Speaking of dependence, today I had to fill up the Lexus, which only takes premium fuel. It was at $2.91 a gallon. Stupid Chinese....my first new car is definitely going to be a hybrid.

Interesting Pictures

Penguins

I saw March of the Penguins earlier today. It was an absolutely gorgeous film. Fantastic visuals, beautiful music, and an engaging story - this isn't your average nature documentary.

Tommy

At work, everybody calls me Tommy, and in a lot of ways I've grown to like it. People seem to expect less of me when I'm named Tommy, which is always nice, just in case I screw up (rarely, mind you, rarely). It's just more affectionate, I guess, and almost everybody at work is a friend, so I like it now.

Don't think this means just anybody can call me Tommy! That requires express written permission, from me. Verbal permission might count too, if you ask nicely enough.
