Superman Returns

I flew back to San Diego today, after only fourty hours in Santa Rosa. A quick Thanksgiving break, indeed.

In a perfect world, I would have stayed up in Sonoma County through Sunday afternoon and boarded the last plane back on Sunday night. But, no matter how much I might want it to be, we don't live in a perfect world. And in the world I do live in, there's work to be done.

I had the chance to read through my contracts flash cards on the plane, and worked with the subject some more when I got home. It's not exactly how I envisioned on spending my Friday night, but the carne asada nachos helped soften the blow.

P.S. Today, I chose to wear the 'Superman' shirt I bought for my Halloween costume.

Nothing cuter than the five year old who gazed at me in awe, only looking down at his shoes when I caught his glance. He giggled, tugged on his mother's arm, and pointed at me.

"Mommy, mommy, that's Superman!"

A World Without Weekends

Argh.

I just typed out a long-ish blog about how law school is changing me. For the worse, most likely. But I'm too frustrated to explain it again in detail, so I'll do it in outline format.

Before Law School
- Things that make me happy: Nearly everything
- Saturday nights: Drinking, laughing
- Mornings: N/A
- Sleep: Until I felt like waking up

Now
- Things that make me happy: Food, Liquor, Gym, Arguing (and winning)
- Saturday nights: Drinking, crying
- Mornings: Start at 8 AM
- Sleep: Huh?

I'm an egostistical, alcoholic, sleep-deprived, meathead.

One Month Hiatus

I figure it was bound to happen. Work piles up and the blog fails to be updated. I could have written that sentence as "I fail to update the blog," but I made the conscious choice not to because it's the only time I can write it that way without having Ruth Hargrove crush my soul. Thanks, Legal Skills!

So, yeah, the workload has increased a bit. More of my weekends are spent indoors than I'd like, especially when I live in such a beautiful area. Oh well. Another month of this, and I'll get a cushy two-week break. I think I'm going to take a trip to Vegas at some point during the break, which is feasible considering I don't have to go home for Christmas. I still should see my family, though. Maybe I'll take a few one-ways. A few people from class are thinking about heading to Vegas as well. Fine by me, although if they talk about law school, I'll leave them in the desert. Side note: I originally wrote that as "dessert" and now I'm craving something unhealthy.

Apparently, law school is supposed to make me more logical. It hasn't. In fact, it's the exact opposite. I was watching a movie today and found myself welling up a bit. Not good. It's even worse when you consider that the movie was an animated film. About Superman. Yes, that's right; I nearly cried at Superman. In my defense, it was the one where he "died." I could explain the entire scene, but the fact of the matter is that law school is making me more emotional. Weird.
