Awesome News!

My Supervised Analytical Writing Requirement was signed off on today! (That's the law school version of "I just successfully defended my thesis!") What a relief. I didn't even have to do a re-write. I suppose that's because I had to do three drafts. My professor is probably sick of RLUIPA and never wants to hear about it again.

(Honestly, I'm sick of RLUIPA and never want to hear about it again...)

First Week of School

I survived my first week of the semester! Last semester was really rough, but I think this one is going to be great! I'm filling up entirely on electives and I only have to be in class 2 days per week. This is great because I'm working full-time, too.

I have a pretty good crop of professors. Two of them are re-runs, and I specifically chose them because they're great. I got to hear the familiar cynical comments about legal academia and stories about Mono County!

The third one seems really laid back and cool. He started out the first day of class by telling us that he got bad grades in school and still turned out ok. (He even got rejected from SCU law school twice and is now a prof here! Awesome!) Then he gave us a funny pep talk reminding us that we'll all eventually pass the bar and get a job and that we shouldn't give up. He's totally the opposite of the doom and gloom that most professors preach. (The whole, if you're not in the top 10% of the class, your life is ruined and you'll never get a job garbage.)

I'm also doing independent study to get credit for writing an article on the TSA, and I'm getting credit for being an editor on the high tech law journal.

Happy New Year! (and a new blog)

Happy New Year, everyone! It's that time of the year when we make resolutions that last for a few weeks.

Well, this year, I'm going to make resolutions that stick.

• The first one is that I'm going to get back into working out. Law school has really put a damper on that. I'm going to do the couch to 5k program, since running is free and I don't have to set aside time to go to a class. I need to lose 10 lbs, and hopefully running will be the way to do that.
• My second resolution is to finish law school, pass the bar exam, and get a job in the law field.
• My third resolution is to figure out what to do with my food storage. That's where my new blog comes in. I'm going to eat primarily from my food storage this year and blog my adventures. (Don't worry, I'll still blog my randomness here.) My new blog is called Food Storage for the Rest of Us. Go on, check it out, you know you want to. ;-)

Here's to a great 2011!
