Random Observations of Randomly Bored Bostonian-in-name-only.

Status: Civil Procedure, conquered, if not drop-kicked.

Sleep deficit: Harry 2L's is worse. As least I don't have 2 kids, a dog, or an asthmatic cat!

Caffeine addiction: I foresee a somewhat trembly withdrawal period come June 1ish.

Running: I fell off the wagon big-time post ankle boo-boo. Boo. Never fear, I'll start again! It's really necessary; even if I don't make the June 1st 5k, it's happening this summer come hell or high water.

Things that are expensive and have broken today:
  • my car (spark plugs, again, darn it);
  • my computer (the "e" key popped off mid Erie doctrine analysis in the exam and I squeaked loudly, but I was able to reattach it, for now).
Musical obsessions: still replaying Dolly Parton songs over and over and over. The woman can write a good song!

Hair: large, very large. Also, amazingly my hair seems to be thinning *thanks family genetics* and yet getting bigger and poufier all at the same time. I can't quite explain it, but I appreciate the ability of the pouf to cover the approximate 50% loss in thickness and scalp coverage over the last year or so (I'm really not exaggerating, I went from a twice around the ponytail thickness to a four times around the ponytail thickness, if you ladies know what I mean). I'm also glad I'm not vain or splurgy enough at this point to consider expensive head creams necessary, though if I end up with a full-on bald spot someday, you'll all know why.

Last random observation: I really want to go abroad again soon. I need to figure out a way to do this. Sometimes, when I am really bored and questioning law school, I wish I hadn't abandoned the whole Peace Corps application process for reasons that didn't turn out to be very good ones. And then I wonder if it's not too late, and maybe I should just take a tiny (3 year) break from law school and come back to it. But then I'd be 28 and still have to finish law school. I AM THE WORLD'S MOST INDECISIVE PERSON. (and the "e" key just fell off again)

Later folks. Sorry for the randomness.

Do peace corps after law school. I think then they forgive some of those loans, and you'll be able to cleanse your soul of all that...law school gunk. You know what I mean.

"...and I squeaked loudly, but...." Easily my favorite line in this blog. I laughed out loud!

I want to go overseas too. Our friends want to do a Disney cruise next summer; I'm saying MEDITERRANEAN cruise! You know, it's only like triple the price of going to the bahamas. And we're below the poverty line. Whatev.

thought the E key squeaked loudly then realized it was you, got a mental picture and totally cracked up! I think you need to drop-kick the E key!
