hey blog, how's it going?! long time no see! given how long i've been away from you, i'm quite certain no one is reading you anymore, but i've decided to revivify you anyhow, since i think it will be a nice release from the stress of doing schoolwork all the time. that, and i've started to allow myself to procrastinate a little more, even though the flexibility i have to procrastinate is getting less and less.

so, i've started law school. it's actually going pretty well--i am glad that i went to law school, and i think that's saying a lot given what you typically hear from 1Ls. i am taking torts, civil procedure, contracts, and lawyering, which is a sort of legal research/writing course that involves some goofy role playing but actually seems like it will be quite valuable when i actually go out and work at a job. all of my courses involve some interesting material, but i've found my level of focus on the subject and ability to pay attention in class is entirely dependent upon the quality of professor in my classroom. for example, my civpro professor used to have his own tv show, and was the good morning america legal correspondent for decades, and you can really tell--the man tells a story about jurisdictional disputes in the 19th century and has you laughing along like he's a freaking stand up comic. my other professors are not quite so dynamic, but the classes can be fun...or mind-numbing, depending on what day it is and how much energy i have.

on top of school, which has actually created a vortex from which i can barely escape to notify friends and family that i'm alive, i have been playing ultimate lately with a team called crafty. last weekend was regionals, and we rocked out. actually all we really did was hold seed, but we played some tight games and i personally was very proud of us.

so in any case, i've been busy. but i'm back, loyal blog, and i promise to post to you more faithfully. for now i really have to go read about negligence. and watch grey's anatomy.
