occupation

so what can i be?

so...

if you couldn't tell, this blog is on vacation. a little vacation called final exams. let me give you an idea of what i have been or am currently dealing with in these two weeks:
four finals, two review sessions, at least three tutoring sessions, two interviews that are worth $50K+, a letter to draft to potential donors (due the day i interview), one flight across the country, one lambda party, still one outline to finish, and two outlines that need updated with the last two weeks of material. i am not even outlining evidence: there is just not enough time. oh-- and we will need to decide where H is going to work and tour three possible apartments. And a firm is having a luncheon for me because they picked me for a diversity scholarship.... the day before a final and H won't be here to drive me-- it's not on a bus line so her boss is going to drive me. Very inconvenient.

now there are just 11 days left of this stress which is both exhilerating and terrifying.... how am i going to get everything done???

so... look for new 7&c entries 11 days from now. i promise. they will be clever and/or thought provoking.

watch out

a PSA for DC people looking to adopt this cat: you probably should not get this one. the animal law club brought the washington humane society's traveling pet adoption center to school, so there are a bunch of dogs playing in the quad today. The RV had a couple cats in it, and right before I was about to go in the room to look at the cats, I heard one of them scream like I had never heard before: very wild and very loud. a classmate explained that a student put his finger into the cage, and apparently the cat went nuts. poor kitty! they shuffled the cages around and stuck that cat's cage in the corner and covered it with a towel.

on the way into school i saw a ton of hispanic people waiting to get on the metro... this makes me happy, as i assume they were coming into the city to protest. i love when people exercise their right to assemble.

within a month of moving to dc, i began telling everyone how the metro system needed the equivalent of an interstate looping the city. what a shock, i am not the first one to think of this: the purple line. hopefully this will be built by the time i am sixty.

okay, i can't think of anything else halfway interesting to say.

growing up, this was the big city to me where we went on special occasions. my dad was also the elks president in a town very near to here, which makes it even more funny:

here's something useful for when you are stuck for a long time with only the internet to entertain you:

1. go to television.aol.com
2. click In2TV (upper left hand side)
3. you can watch old shows like growing pains, head of the class, perfect strangers, and wonder woman.

head of the class = best 80s show ever.
