My apologies (yet again) for the lack of posts. Life has been crazy lately. Luckily, Lauren holds down the fort exceptionally well.
The first week of law school has been good — incredibly interesting, stimulating, and really friggin hard. I have more reading than I’ve ever had in my life. My professors are fantastic, and the other people in my classes are all really smart. It’s a big change from high school and even from undergrad, where there were always at least a handful of kids who really didn’t have their shit together. Here, everyone is on top of things. All the comments made in class are well thought out. No one has said anything particularly dumb yet. It’s an interesting experience, and I definitely feel like the small fish. But that’s a great motivation.
In other news, I finally found an apartment, and spent the weekend moving in. I’m living on the Upper East Side, which is a big change from downtown. I do miss the Village, but I love my new neighborhood. Once I make the apartment pretty, I’ll post pictures! The only bad thing is that we haven’t been set up for internet yet, hence the slow blogging. But that should be going sometime soon. Until then, I’ll try and make at least one daily stop at the NYU library to use their computers.
I also don’t have a TV at the new place, which is good. Watching the news lately is just way too depressing. My mom called me on Saturday night and told me that Rehnquist died, and basically said, “We are fucked.” The more I see, read, and hear about Katrina’s aftermath, the angrier I become at the complete ineptitude of our various government agencies in dealing with this issue — particularly because I sincerely believe that if it were thousands of middle-class white people left stranded, they’d have their shit together.
So, despite the general depression I’m in because of the state of this country, I’ll be back to blogging on and off, hopefully with some consistency at least this week. Next week, once I enter the age of wireless internet, blog-life should be good.
