I was sitting in Property earlier this week when I suddenly
realized I had lost track of what the professor was saying.
Five minutes later, it happened again.
I started doodling, hoping that would help me pay attention,
but I think I still spent most of the time counting down until the end of
class. It felt like my mind was at capacity for the semester – nothing else was
getting in.
And that wasn’t even the last class.
But, I made it through the week. Contracts helped by finishing
a day early, which everyone (including the professor) enjoyed. Now all I have
left for the semester are three finals.

In other news, the Dean lost a bet with the 3Ls, and
therefore shaved his mustache in the law school lobby with everyone watching.
He said it’s the first time in about 30 years that a male member of his family
has been clean shaven.
Also, all the squirrels are back. I don’t know what their
cue was, but they seem to have all emerged from their winter hiding spots simultaneously.
And spring continues. Watching the green leaves come back is
like watching a time-lapse film. Trees that were barely budding one day are full
of foliage two days later. The visibility diminishes almost by the hour. On the
other hand, the flowering trees seem to take turns; the white ones came out first,
then the purple, then the yellow and pink…
As far as seasons are concerned, I’ve preferred Utah’s to Virginia’s.
Spring in Virginia might buck that trend, though. It’s messy and somewhat noisy,
but the mass and variety of life here is remarkable. And it all happens without
feeling dramatic; mainly, I think, because there’s much less wind.
So Utah spring wins in at least one respect: more wind and
fewer tangling trees make it much easier to fly a kite.
Happy Easter!
