I love reading the news… I mean… I REALLY REALLY LOVE READING THE NEWS On facebook (and other social media sites) I am what you call a serial poster. I mean…I truly have a problem… A problem which in many ways has yeilded a solution to other problems… I didn’t understand just how this […]

This is the image printed on one of my favorite tee shirts. I’m not a connoisseur of clever shirts and clichés, but I do appreciate ones that fit me, and this one does. Especially lately, and not just because I’ve shed a few excess holiday pounds. The reason for my optimism: after completing three semesters […]

This past Friday, BU had a delayed opening (the University opened at 11am instead of 9am) because of an early morning snowstorm. The week before, BU and other colleges and universities closed down for a day because of another snowstorm. Snow days are supposed to be fun, but they can sometimes cause great problems. As […]

Today, being the 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I wanted to pay special homage to feminism and the reproductive freedom movement. I asked the Michigan Pre-Natal Coordinator, Carmen Gutierrez, what Roe means for women today. Ms. Gutierrez said, “It goes beyond Roe…it’s not only the right to choose abortion or to have children, but to […]

Today BU had a delayed opening due to snow. It cleared the morning for family time, which was unexpected and nice (although I’m finding I actually like the topic of my class which didn’t meet today, Federal Tax—I’ll say more in a future post, but it’s a good thing I like tax law since I’ll […]

My boyfriend always tells me that perception is reality. Having studied philosophy, he asked me to read Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” to understand what he meant. In his book, The Republic, Plato describes a scenario in which prisoners, who are stuck in a cave, view shadowy images on the walls. The cave is their […]

Some of my fellow bloggers have commented about how this semester is one they plan on enjoying and how they are not working as hard. This tends to be a common sentiment among law school students past. I believe there is a saying about this phenomenon: 1L year you’re scared to death, 2L year you’re […]

When I woke up this morning, I realized that today would be my last first day of school ever . . . unless, of course, I decided that I want to earn another degree. That’s doubtful because now I’m almost done with 19th grade (think about that one . . . 12 years + 4 […]

I close each semester with an update on my desktop images, which I strategically choose to power me through what I have to do. You know, images are worth a thousand words and all that jazz. Actually this semester I mostly ran with an image of words, so I’m not sure what it means for […]

December was a very strange month, indeed. Unstuck in time, the days were repetitive yet indistinguishable (really, it was impossible to tell a Tuesday from a Saturday!). Classes finally ended. Inputting information turned into processing information — intake into understanding. Alas, the idea of outlining became a reality. Even though I outlined (to some extent) during […]
