- I got new shoes. They're amazing. The difference is incredible! It's like the difference between running flat-footed on a beach and wearing moon boots! I just ran/walked 3.0 miles and I feel nothing. I can't even compare if I'm improving over the first two runs, because it was a totally different experience. I will never run in broke-down tennis shoes again.
- It's sunny outside! Another reason I'm pumped full of adrenaline and feel like I could go out for another run. However, this leads me to my next realization:
- I should probably be wearing sunscreen during these runs! After a friend from undergrad developed skin cancer (most likely from too much sun during runs!) I've become extra paranoid about sun damage (and as one of the world's palest, I was already pretty darn paranoid).
- For the ladies: how obnoxious is it that we have to wear at least 2 undergarments just to lock down enough to be able to run? And my neck/shoulders STILL feel pulled if I go more than a snail's pace. I'm looking into an industrial strength contraption.
- We had our first meeting about law review; the writing competition looks to be way less awful than I had thought - it's closed, meaning we don't have to/can't do any outside research, so it will be based solely on our writing/citation skills (and despite my mediocre grades, I think I can write decently enough to give me a shot, especially since about 35% of those who attempt the problem get on one of the journals).
- After Friday, I will be officially done with 1 out of the 5 classes I have this semester (Legal Writing, I shall slay thee!). I'm excited! Last semester this felt like some new, crazy world, but now it just feels like -- another semester! And I realized that after this one, I only have four more! Law school is short! Life is short! Time goes by so quickly!
- Later this summer, I am planning to apply for 2L jobs in
- Minneapolis
- New York City
- Washington, D.C.
- So if you live in one of those cities, be prepared to be hit up for any and all contacts. I will repay you with baked goods and my eternal devotion. Forever and ever.

Mediocre grades?? Where? And yes put on sun screen for the love of God. Cases burn really easy. As for the contraptions... Not all of us need one. ::sighs::
Our write on looks pretty scary. When they tell us the packet will be like 500 pages... Oy. Love you!
