I have twenty-one classes and three finals left of my first
semester of law school. (I’ve always enjoyed counting down those sorts of
things.) This has felt like the shortest semester of my entire educational experience.
I might, however, change my mind about that during finals when my three tests
are spread out over two weeks.
My schedule for spring semester was posted the other day. I won’t
have any classes before 10:00, which feels incredibly late in the day to get
things going. And I thought an 8:30 class was late.
Of course, morning hours are a great time for homework and
running, so a 10:00 schedule will be nice in that regard.
Best recent discovery: there is a track about two miles from
my apartment. I’m very happy to have a large rubber circle to run on.
Second best recent discovery: the library is deliciously
silent on Saturday mornings before it opens (I accidentally left for work half
an hour early on Saturday…this is what happens when each day starts at a
different time).
Also, the Jamestown Ward loves Muddy Buddies. They made
short work of the batch I brought for today’s Linger Longer. Chex + chocolate +
peanut butter + powdered sugar = yum.

Torts case of the week: thaw causes large chunks of ice to
float down river…ice piles up by boat 1, causing it to come loose from
post…boat 1 floats away into boat 2, causing boat 2 to come loose…boat 2 drifts
into drawbridge, bringing down one of bridge’s towers…boat 1 enters the
wreckage and wedges into boat 2, creating a dam…bridge’s second tower falls…banks
of river flood for several miles. Petition of Kinsman Transit Co., 338 F.2d 708
(2d Cir. 1964).
It’s like a handy analogy for when life seems to be piling
up all around and threatening to engulf you. (No, that’s not what life is like
for me right now; I’m just making an observation.)
