So yeah, today I took the bus to school. It's becoming more and more like high school daily. Well, not really. I'm happy I can do this now, because it means I'm both not at Victoria's mercy and I'm giving her the free time to sleep in or whatnot before she starts working. Speaking of which, she's been getting phone calls and interview ( Read more... )

This last week has been a huge transition, and I'm still trying to figure things out. I have had to be pretty consistently outside my comfort zone and I've been inside it for the past 3 years at least. It's been fruitful so far though, as I'm getting to know a lot of people at the same time. So far, a lot of my fellow 1Ls seem like good people, ( Read more... )

So I updated OS X and iTunes at the same time, and for whatever reason, when it rebooted, the ghostly voice of Timothy Leary came through my speakers, repeating over and over "Think for yourself. Question authority." I rebooted and it was fine... but at the time, nothing was open.

So my first day of summer session law school (and thus, I guess, my first day of law school) was yesterday. Mostly it was orientation, but the day was pretty packed, with a continental breakfast @ 8:30 am, deans and faculty delivering their prepared addresses and kudos to us for making it from 9-10:30, Criminal Law from 10:45-11:35, lunch from 11: ( Read more... )

It's been days, and I'm getting weary of the road. Victoria's in the same boat. We're just finishing up our 3 night stay in Eugene, OR with Victoria's aunt Lisa and uncle Ron and their kids Greyson and Lina. Good times had here, we have gotten a bit cozy. The next two nights are going to be camping nights, and we aren't exactly sure where or ( Read more... )

So yeah, I really should have updated the last night in Austin, because now I have forgotten details and I really don't feel like typing eeeverything out anyway. My readers are probably better off for that anyway ( Read more... )

Not a great deal of time to type right now. We made the trip from Little Rock to Austin in a little less than 8 hours I think, but then were in traffic in Austin for about 45 minutes. According to Kimble, Austin has three north-south interstate highways and they all get clogged all the time. It rained a bit on the way, and I actually changed ( Read more... )

Victoria and I left our apartment yesterday at about 7:00 am for a pre-trip breakfast with Victoria's parents. We ate at Cracker Barrel then met up with Tony Beard, Ben, Newman, Chelsea, and Joe at Sportstime and headed out to Wendy's. Met up there with the rest of the gang (Wendy, Alex, Justin, Peanut Butter, Chris, Devin, and Squire) and ( Read more... )

Victoria signed a lease today and from her accounts the place is awesome! Everyone will have to come see (read: help us move)! We'll be heading up there the last weekend in June, I believe. I'm working on seeing if I can get in-state tuition. My case is as follows: I'm a Jeff High graduate, Purdue graduate (having paid in-state tuition legally ( Read more... )

The Social Security Administration just released the most popular baby names of 2006 and Joshua is still third on the list for the 5th year running, up from 4th prior to '02. Guess that means I'll be sticking with "Newt" for a lonnnnng time. Top boy's name is still Jacob (has been since '99), top girl's is Emily (has been since 1996).
